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…
Nikhil Gohil - PeerSpot reviewer
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."
"The solution integrates well with other products."
"The most valuable feature is the flexibility of development for customization."
"ServiceNow gives us a lot for free: workflows, organizational structures, service portal, forms, reporting, disaster recovery, and so on."
"The most recent addition of SAM Premium is a game changer for many organizations."
"This solution is a single-storage for our user community to submit help desk tickets."
"I like the reporting aspect of it. It helps us know where we stand regarding the types of issues we're receiving... It also shows us trends. That enables us to possibly predict an issue that might come up in the future as well as what is happening right now. We will like that feature. With it, we can either avoid certain issues or know where we need to focus more regarding the service we provide."
"We consider the integration capabilities of the solution with other tools to be a valuable feature."
"The pricing of the product is quite good. It's not too expensive."
 

Cons

"The product’s stability needs improvement."
"We would like to have an Asset Management and/or Project Management feature enabled in this version and in the IT Service Management edition."
"Some enhancements to the self-service platform would be helpful. That part is still a little barebone... Also, the mobile app is not bad, but it's limited."
"They could improve license management, particularly when integrating different applications or toolsets."
"Very expensive."
"I find the way you need to attach things like screenshots and stuff is a bit gimmicky. I'm a casual user. I'll use it once every two months and only when I have an incident that I need to report. You don't get a lot of experience with it when you're just using it once in a while like that. Therefore, it needs to be more intuitive so that you don't have to re-learn how to do simple tasks as the way to do certain things just isn't obvious."
"The asset management application could be improved. They have a lot of the infrastructure built, but it does not come with already made compatibility with some of the most popular vendors, such as Cisco and Microsoft. You have to fix it yourself."
"The solution should offer better security when it comes to storing data."
"The standard UI is very restricted. It doesn't look as good, compared to Remedy. Building your own UI requires some additional coding..."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product has reasonable pricing."
"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."
"I would say it is moderately expensive, ranging from six to seven on a scale of ten."
"ServiceNow's pricing is comparatively higher than Helix's."
"The price of this solution is expensive."
"The cost is quite high."
"There is an annual subscription to use this solution."
"It's sold as a less expensive solution, but it has to be highly modified. That's where you get into the cost."
"The mandatory minimum is US$ 20,000 for licensing."
