Platform excels across departments but requires more focus on integration and IT management features
Kaseya's focus is on something else and is not aligned to the business model we are into, and the enhancements which we are expecting are not happening on their platform or their products. The enhancements are very limited. Multi-tenancy was lacking in Kaseya Vorex. Tenancy was not 100% there in Kaseya Vorex. The IT Asset Management feature was very limited. The Service Desk was also limited because it is not a full-fledged ITSM; it was a professional service automation platform. Integrated communication tools were somewhat lacking in Kaseya. Multi-channel collaboration integrations were not there. The Service Desk was not in complete compliance with the ITIL framework.

Adopting flexible workflows with customized automation delivers measurable benefits
There are things that I would like to see improved in ServiceNow, such as the pricing, as it is a very costly solution compared to other tools. Additionally, its presence in the local market is very limited; in Pakistan, for example, I don't see any vendor or distributor of ServiceNow available. They need to increase their sales spectrum globally so people can easily access them and engage them for client meetings and more. From a functionality perspective, the features in ServiceNow are acceptable as, at the moment, the ITSM modules rank highly, being 13 plus Pink Elephant certified, which is a good aspect to have. When providing advice to users, I would suggest they consider making strategic decisions about their per user pricing since it is very high. In our region, people normally start with 5 to 10 users, but the per user price is quite steep. Moreover, ServiceNow does not charge based on data uploaded or downloaded, so they should reconsider their pricing and data policies to align better with the financial capabilities of the region.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Kaseya Vorex is a comprehensive platform with a service desk, project module, CRM, and a complete finance model with auto billing."
"The platform's most valuable feature is the ability to produce daily summary reports."
"ServiceNow is easy to use and has a user-friendly interface."
"Consolidating multiple functionalities into a single platform reduces the need to invest in various separate solutions. ServiceNow integrates ITSM, CMDB, Discovery modules, and more into one cohesive system."
"I find the incident management part to be the most valuable. That's how the service desk tracks tickets."
"It uses a common base of data and allows different types of records to pull from that same base of data."
"ServiceNow gives us a lot for free: workflows, organizational structures, service portal, forms, reporting, disaster recovery, and so on."
"I don't have to look through a whole bunch of other incidents that aren't relevant to me. It's very useful in that sense."
"We have found change management and CMDB to be very useful."
"It's a very low-code platform, and it's simple. The user experience is also really good."
 

Cons

"Kaseya Vorex's customization features could be better."
"We would like to have an Asset Management and/or Project Management feature enabled in this version and in the IT Service Management edition."
"Most people are discussing UIs, but I'm a developer. I would say 80-90% of the people would appreciate that, that's easy for them, but from a developer perspective, it's hard for me, because for me it's clunky"
"The solution could be made cheaper. Machine learning and artificial intelligence should be introduced in the next release."
"The RPA needs improvement. That's a new area for them that they're just entering into now."
"We find it good in general. Obviously, there are areas of improvement for every capability. As they evolve more, if they keep on adding more intelligence into the capabilities, it will improve. The improvement areas are more integration across the landscape and more intelligence for the overall capability of the solution."
"The solution could improve by making the CMDB integrate with a CI better to allow it to be seen across multiple platforms."
"System deployment and automation capabilities could be within the platform, similar to competitors."
"The contract module is quite rudimentary and doesn't support contract line items."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price of the solution is comparable to industry standards. For the features that we received, it is reasonable."
"I have found the solution very expensive."
"The licensing cost is based on your partnership with ServiceNow and what you have selected for implementation. There is an annual license cost which is calculated based on your number of devices."
"It has a higher cost compared to local/regional solutions."
"The licensing expenses are excessively high."
"The product cost is higher than that of other vendors."
"I would say it is moderately expensive, ranging from six to seven on a scale of ten."
"The first impact for the customer is that it is expensive, but do not forget that it is a solution that includes infrastructure; a single cost, easy to justify."
