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…

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a scalable product."
"I like the ease of use."
"Remote access is most valuable."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the ease of use and the sensor for ticketing systems."
"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."
"In terms of the most valuable features, it's nice to have everything in one place. Things are easy to follow up on. ServiceNow provides that workflow. I know at some level it is in the pipeline and then if I need to follow up, everything's there. Those are the key benefits of ServiceNow."
"It has more extensive features as compared to the other competitors."
"I have definitely seen a positive impact of ServiceNow on our company and customer processes, including time savings and money savings."
"For our work, ServiceNow's service catalogs and SDK integrations are the most valuable features."
 

Cons

"The product’s stability needs improvement."
"It's missing monitoring capabilities."
"Compared to other products that I have been using, it is not as user-friendly."
"HR Service Management is one module that needs a lot of improvement because it's a pretty new module. It was introduced in the last two years. It's becoming more mature day by day, but there is a lot of scope for improvement in that module."
"ServiceNow's customization is not too agile in those cases; it takes a little bit of time."
"The user interface could be much improved, and the developer tools and sets can be improved greatly, they are lacking."
"One thing I don't care for is the reporting and the way it functions."
"Licensing costs are very high."
"It's moving at a very fast pace. It is difficult for developers or engineers to keep up with it. That's the only issue."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product has reasonable pricing."
"While the option exists to pay for a monthly license, we are dealing with large enterprises and these typically involve multi-year licenses of ten or five years, at a minimum."
"The price could be a little lower for the solution. Many of my customers have issues with the licensing process, they have to make it easier and straightforward."
"The price of the solution is comparable to industry standards. For the features that we received, it is reasonable."
"It has a higher cost compared to local/regional solutions."
"For the modules we use, we found it competitive. I can't think of any costs in addition to the licensing fees."
"Certainly, from a product-platform perspective, the price is not too bad."
"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."
"It's sold as a less expensive solution, but it has to be highly modified. That's where you get into the cost."
