Seamless data integration and advanced automation improve service delivery efficiency
I think that nothing needs to be improved with the product; you just need the user to commit and spend appropriate time to overcome that learning curve. Once that is done, the product itself is pretty wonderful. I've seen a very nicely built interface with ServiceNow, and I've also seen the ugliest version that feels outdated. ServiceNow does allow that team to exist. They should modernize their fonts and their layout, the UI friendliness. They did introduce AI, chatbots, and AI on the back end, so that's wonderful and extremely useful if you train it. If you don't train it, it's pretty useless. Assessing the impact of ServiceNow's automation on service delivery times is complicated. The engineers who operate on ServiceNow find it isn't straightforward because the data set is accessible by everybody. The problem is that understanding how to manage that data set requires an enormous amount of engineering skill set to run the product. I would not hand the key to the customer; I would highly recommend that ServiceNow take control of that. Instead of offering support for the software, they should offer administrative support for the software. They should provide professional service or some kind of support system that allows us to use their product at a faster pace. I'm sure they offer something, but it's often outrageously expensive, or they rely on another company to resell their product and offer professional service. It makes no sense in my opinion, and they should offer the team at the front to help customize the product to fit each company's needs, as every company has different demands and forms of submitting a request that need adjustment over time.

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."
"In financial management, this platform has the infrastructure allowing us to expand the way we want to, giving you many business rules and budget models to optimize your workflow, and integrating this solution with other platforms is extremely easy to do."
"Having quick easy access to information is crucial in any business but especially in the medical field."
"I would recommend this solution, it's really an excellent tool in comparison to the current market tools like SCP and a lot of other tools out there."
"One of the biggest features is its flexibility."
"I can see a very good product strategy, we see enhancements or enhanced features in each of the releases, I see the roadmap is good and the technology underneath is also good."
"Your time-to-market, or TTM, becomes faster when you use ServiceNow, and even individuals that are not tech-savvy can quickly change processes and workflows in it, which can make the organization as a whole more agile."
"It's great to do statuses or to review tasks."
"Overall, I rate ServiceNow 10 out of 10."
 

Cons

"The product’s stability needs improvement."
"The solution should offer better security when it comes to storing data."
"Their cloud management is also not that great compared to other products."
"Creating service catalog forms could be made easier."
"We have implemented some various complex ACLs and they've impacted our performance significantly, and we've had several incidents open to help with performance, and it's been kind of a struggle to get the ServiceNow support group to say "Yup, I see it's a problem, let's do this.""
"I suggest making the cost more affordable for smaller companies."
"Service mapping could be less complicated."
"Time to respond from support could definitely be better, as the global support timing sometimes causes delays in interactions."
"I think within knowledge management the editor could be greatly improved. To me it's very archaic looking."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product has reasonable pricing."
"The solution is expensive."
"The price of the solution is comparable to industry standards. For the features that we received, it is reasonable."
"It is very expensive because it is a big organization. You have to pay for additional things."
"The pricing is reasonable and affordable, making it suitable for businesses ranging from small to large scale."
"The platform offers a free trial, by providing a free developer instance once you sign up."
"It's sold as a less expensive solution, but it has to be highly modified. That's where you get into the cost."
"It is an expensive platform."
"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."
