It manager at PTC (Public Telecomuncation Corporation)
Good monitoring and alerting capability, and it is easy to deploy
This solution is good for configuration management. The monitoring capability is easy to use and it can be done without any training. ManageEngine is easy to deploy. It is easy to identify and collect information from all of the nodes on the network. The alerting capability is good and it will send out emails.

Data engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Structured workflows have improved SLA compliance and now support prioritized incident handling
I think the licensing and pricing of ServiceNow is quite expensive compared to other tools. For large organizations, it is acceptable, but specifically for small and medium organizations to track incidents or change requests, ServiceNow is quite expensive. Sometimes performance can be slow when workflows and integrations are configured for complex tasks. For advanced customizations or advanced features which we rarely use, the documentation is not up to standard. The documentation needs to be improved for advanced customization features. However, the platform is stable overall and the features are quite good. The user experience and performance concerns I mentioned are areas I want to be improved. When many workflows and interactions are configured, performance is slow. For the features it is providing, it is quite expensive. If these performance features are improved, we can easily pay that price and get the return on investment.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product helps users stay on top of gaining insight into the active directory, permissions and security sets, and user group policy changes."
"The technical support is good."
"It is easy to identify and collect information from all of the nodes on the network."
"I would suggest you use this product as it's easy for administration, and is based on distributed model support."
"All I know is that when it comes to managing the active directory, ManageEngine is something I consider to be the best."
"Customer Service: Absolutely fantastic."
"The monitoring capability is easy to use and it can be done without any training."
"The primary use case of this solution is to manage and to protect the web servers, the mail server, and the website in my company."
"It provides internal clients with greater transparency about their projects and deliverables."
"ServiceNow was the first true enterprise to service management platform."
"It's filling a niche I think a lot of people have really, really wanted which is bringing a lot of this information into one central location."
"I have seen ROI from ServiceNow, as the client I mentioned earlier is achieving ROI for adopting this cloud-based technology."
"Openness and ease of use are the two big things right there."
"ServiceNow is really good."
"We always get good support."
"The ability to get in there and create stuff without worrying about setting everything up first; we can start developing right away without having to get instances set up, get everything provisional, or all the networking stuff done, and just get up and go."
 

Cons

"This is because of the lack of available technical knowledge in terms of competence and maximizing the power of the product."
"ManageEngine needs to fix the downtime scheduler for SNMP monitored devices. Alarms are still generated for the devices placed into scheduled maintenance."
"The product could use more intelligence, automation and general availability of product information."
"The ManageEngine features could improve to show graphs of the traffic and network utility."
"The ManageEngine features could improve to show graphs of the traffic and network utility."
"We would like to have support for integration with ServiceDesk."
"We would like to have support for integration with ServiceDesk."
"The GUI could be improved."
"We do a lot of relatively advanced stuff for the size that we are, but ServiceNow itself is so big and to some extent, there is a significant amount of complexity that you have, a big learning curve I would say, in order to really get on board."
"I would say there had been times where it's taking a long time for a resolution."
"HR Service Management is one module that needs a lot of improvement because it's a pretty new module."
"All the screens are similar. It's the same platform for everything and you need to familiarize yourself with it. In the past, you used to have one screen per application. Now, you have everything integrated into one. Everybody will manage the same screen and they need to navigate into the same screen as the Internet Explorer with a toolbar with the categories and look for the things you want to see or the models you want to use."
"It's not very secure, it's web-based, and I prefer Remedy. Both the security and the web interface could be improved."
"While ServiceNow has many options, the number of options can sometimes be confusing regarding where to click or how things work, as it is based on configuration provided by the administrator."
"The visuals are the one area where there is opportunity for improvement."
"Data access is a bit difficult, where you sometimes wish you had a relational database for some queries. The flexibility of data access in general is a bit on the low end. Of course, there is flexibility in some ways, but when I need a certain combination of data for some report, it can become a challenge."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing is reasonable and affordable, making it suitable for businesses ranging from small to large scale."
"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."
"They could be more competitive with their licensing."
"The cost is quite high."
"We know that ServiceNow is not cheap, it's more expensive than other solutions. But we are trying to increase our ability to handle tickets so that the cost per ticket is less."
"I rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten. The pricing for ServiceNow is based on a SaaS platform with annual contracts. However, it may not offer much flexibility for adjusting usage in the short term."
"The solution is expensive."
"The price of the solution is comparable to industry standards. For the features that we received, it is reasonable."
