EV
Useful for risk assessment and has customization capability
The tool helps us with security incidents, policies, business continuity, disaster recovery, and internal audits. The feature I like the most is its customization capability. It acts like a blank canvas where you can construct forms and workflows according to your needs. You can configure and customize a lot yourself, whether starting from scratch or using some out-of-the-box options. The solution has impacted our operations by helping us manage and prioritize environmental risks. It also assists in establishing ownership of risks and enables us to mitigate or mediate existing risks. Additionally, it facilitates tracking risks throughout their entire lifecycle.

Enables effective incident management and seamless workflow automation with valuable mobile accessibility
I haven't thought deeply about improvements for ServiceNow or what might be missing right now. There are so many modules and features in ServiceNow that I haven't explored them all, so it's hard to say what might be missing or should be improved. I suggest making the cost more affordable for smaller companies.

Pros

"The tool helps us with security incidents, policies, business continuity, disaster recovery, and internal audits. The feature I like the most is its customization capability. It acts like a blank canvas where you can construct forms and workflows according to your needs. You can configure and customize a lot yourself, whether starting from scratch or using some out-of-the-box options."
"The impact of ServiceNow's self-service portal on IT staff dependency levels has shown a dramatic improvement."
"Simplicity of Change Manager."
"One feature of ServiceNow that is important is the workflow engine. From my perspective [as a consultant] the power to be able to structure processes, represent workforce management for organizations, and the visibility provided by the reporting are additional top features."
"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."
"Remote access is most valuable."
"For change management, I find the CAB workbench very useful. I haven't seen any other solution that has a CAB workbench or advanced automated solutions for a change advisory board. ServiceNow also has the Workflow Engine which works very well and is very intuitive."
"It can scale well if you are managing IT assets."
"I like ServiceNow's Workspace feature. With Jira, we had to edit a ticket by going into it. We couldn't perform edits from within the project plan. ServiceNow allows you to edit everything from one screen. It's like an Excel spreadsheet, but Jira requires you to drill down into the ticket. ServiceNow is more convenient if you are working on multiple projects and workflows."
 

Cons

"We think there's room for improvement, especially with customizing NAVEX One. Their development on the roadmap can be slow."
"The scalability needs improvement."
"If you have advanced questions, technical support often doesn't know the answer."
"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 interface can be a bit more intuitive."
"Complexities in the organization made the initial deployment complex."
"There are Virtual Task Boards in the tool in the latest releases. There are many of them in the Scaled Agile Framework. There is some room there for improvement. It's really quite promising but, at the same time, it could be improved and I believe it will be improved soon."
"I know that discovery tools are not meant to be simple, but somehow, if they could make it more simple and robust, that would be great."
"Once a change request has been created once it's been approved and been submitted, there is no way to go in on that particular change request and submit an additional task."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"NAVEX One's pricing comes in the middle range when compared to other products."
"Certainly, from a product-platform perspective, the price is not too bad."
"It has a higher cost compared to local/regional solutions."
"ServiceNow pricing is an art, not a science. The deal depends on how commercially savvy you are, which does make it something that is quite difficult to get right. It is most definitely an opportunity area for ServiceNow to improve and have more visibility around pricing of the different products within the platform."
"The price is okay for us. It's reasonable."
"It's sold as a less expensive solution, but it has to be highly modified. That's where you get into the cost."
"They could be more competitive with their licensing."
"ServiceNow tends to be a little bit more expensive as compared to BMC Helix ITSM."
"The price of this solution is expensive."
