Has an easy initial setup process, but its stability needs improvement
We use the product for asset management The product’s stability needs improvement. We have been using Micro Focus ZENworks Asset Management for two years. I rate the product's stability an eight out of ten. It could be better.  Our organization has around 50-100 Micro Focus ZENworks Asset…

Custom integration and reporting lead to efficient ticket management
There is a need for bug or error tracking in ServiceNow. Although there are child incidents or tickets, tracking primary issues or bugs within enhancements is not present. The reporting features in the new portal could be more user-friendly. While it provides options to minimize chart and image sizes, actual implementation doesn't always reflect these changes.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"It is a scalable product."
"It's a very low-code platform, and it's simple. The user experience is also really good."
"It actually has quite a wide list of modules and processes. Currently, we are implementing project management and Scaled Agile Framework for one of our customers."
"Very good incident management, chain management and problem management features."
"It provides internal clients with greater transparency about their projects and deliverables."
"The feature that I have found most valuable from ServiceNow is the ability to assign sub-tasks to different teams, including problem tickets and the regular and chain tasks."
"You can put information in or export it out quickly, which is very useful when you have weekly or monthly reports."
"Flexibility is the most valuable feature of ServiceNow, that is, being able to modify it to do what we need it to do."
"I like the ease of use."
 

Cons

"The product’s stability needs improvement."
"Currently, we are finding it a bit difficult to monitor the subscriptions that are being used. The reporting feature related to this can be improved. Its ITOM functionality can be improved. BMC does a better job than ServiceNow in terms of capturing utilization and other such things."
"I would like to see a mobile version of ServiceNow."
"There is a need to enhance ticket details visibility on the portal, such as displaying SLA information, which currently requires development effort."
"The scalability needs improvement."
"Vulnerability management could be improved. Also, integration with tools such as Microsoft Defender ATP needs improvement."
"The customization that we are doing for the needs of our organization are difficult to do and could be improved."
"There is room for improvement in price."
"Its stability and pricing need improvement."

"The price of this solution is expensive."
"The pricing is reasonable and affordable, making it suitable for businesses ranging from small to large scale."
"The solution is priced for medium to enterprises sized businesses. However, it is expensive compared to competitors."
"For the modules we use, we found it competitive. I can't think of any costs in addition to the licensing fees."
"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."
"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."
