Significant enhancement in operations with powerful discovery and analytics, yet pricing structure poses challenges
ServiceNow IT Operations Management provides out-of-the-box dashboards. Along with the dashboard, it also provides the Operations Workspace, which is very useful for operations teams. There is a functionality called Performance Analytics, which we are also using to develop some dashboards for the senior leadership and operations team where they can perform trend analysis of alerts and events happening across the infrastructure and application landscape. These dashboards are really useful here. ServiceNow IT Operations Management's biggest plus point is that it is a platform. ITOM is just one module that ServiceNow IT Operations Management offers, but they provide seamless integration of ITOM with their other modules such as ITSM, where we can leverage the AIs for discovery, perform impact analysis, which essentially helps to enhance the overall IT operations and reduce the downtime and MTTR.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The intention and the idea of the filter is great, but it is far, far away from good and perfect."
"Its analytical capability is really good."
"LiveAction LiveNX provides valuable real-time and historical network traffic visualization capabilities that help monitor and analyze network performance."
"All in all, LiveAction LiveNX has become an indispensable tool for maintaining and improving our network's reliability and performance, ultimately supporting our organization's goal of providing timely and dependable delivery services."
"The alerting feature is very good because it allows you to set MOS alerts at various network junctures or data points."
"We provide a tool for our customers to manage their reports. It's an extremely highly featured platform capable of producing a lot of data. We spent quite a long time working with customers and LiveAction to create template reports, and they're very good and configurable. You get a lot of data if you don't configure them."
"If you're looking for a tool that will solve your problems in a short period of time more effectively, LiveNX is the right tool."
"We don't have any complaints about the software. According to my team, it's a very good tool that's very intuitive."
"You can improve integrations of the operation with the solution."
"The most valuable feature of ServiceNow IT Operations Management is the user interface."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The reason is it's cost-effective, number one."
"ServiceNow IT Operations Management is beneficial for the discovery of all CIs in our environment."
"It has been very useful for tracking. It has evolved a lot over time, and there is a single pane of glass where you can track and see everything."
"The asset management tools are very valuable."
"The most important features of ServiceNow IT Operations Management are the discovery service mapping and orchestration."
 

Cons

"My advice to others would be to run away from it. This is a slight exaggeration but this is more because the application is horrible, the stability is horrible, the performance is horrible and the support is horrible."
"The tool crashes sometimes when we try to pull reports simultaneously."
"They have some unique functionality but they need to create a more simplified UI."
"Sometimes the solution does not register devices properly and that is a bug."
"It is not as robust as other NPM solutions. For instance, there is a problem while labeling specific applications. It works well with well-known applications, but when you have to put in new applications that are not very known and set them up with names, ports, URLs, or some protocols, it is not as intuitive."
"The product is weak in multi-tenancy. We have to install multiple instances of LiveAction, whereas we would like to build it once for our customers."
"The customer service and technical support of LiveAction LiveNX are rated at 4 out of 10."
"Maintenance is required for the system."
"The pricing is high."
"There are times the application has some performance issue, but it could be because of our network. There should be something done to resolve this."
"ServiceNow IT Operations Management is not very affordable. It is affordable for organizations with a minimum of 5,000 users plus."
"The product needs to add a workflow insight tool."
"The solution's subscription model could be improved."
"We are facing difficulties with service mapping of CIs from the end users, and are seeking help from third-party vendors."
"ServiceNow could be more prescriptive on how customers can leverage some of the benefits."
"ServiceNow IT Operations Management could do a little bit better with integrations. Integrating ServiceNow IT Operations Management with CMDB processes needs a little more work."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is fairly expensive compared to other products."
"It's very expensive."
"We use the free version."
"The pricing is high and may be excluding the small to medium-sized enterprise businesses."
"I would rate the product's pricing a five out of ten since there are vendors who are cheaper."
"This solution offers good value but comes at a very high premium. Pricing could be reduced by 10 to 20%."
"It is moderately expensive. The pricing itself and the licensing options are depending on the model and the customization."
"We obtained discovery licenses at about seven dollars Australian per unit, which we found to be reasonable and competitive."
"It is expensive. It is around 10 Euros per server per month."
"It has different subscription models."
"The solution offers yearly licenses and a subscription model for add-on features."
