Responsive technical support and an easy initial setup but needs better asset management
We found the initial setup to be surprisingly straightforward. It's not overly complex and difficult, and the ease of setup is a great selling point. We started to do it on our own as it was so straightforward. There is a beginner's guide on their website which you can use. It's a very good toolbox and very useful. Basically, all you need to do is start up your virtual machine inside or outside, put in some passwords, and run one or two commands as directed and it's up and ready to go. The only thing that may take a while is the configuration process. Otherwise, the deployment is relatively fast. In about two weeks it's completely done. We have two or three people involved in the maintenance aspect of the product

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

"The documentation for beginners is easily available online and very useful."
"It's actually easy to understand."
"Straightforward tool."
"A workflow automation platform that's reliable, performs well, and has good reporting and integration."
"Operations and maintenance costs have been reduced using this solution. We have been able to deliver faster solutions to our customers and track progress using live data."
"ServiceNow is very easy to set up."
"Overall, I rate ServiceNow 10 out of 10."
"The workflow makes things extremely efficient and it improves effectiveness."
"The most impactful feature in our day-to-day operations is the ticket status, which provides crucial visibility into the progress of each resource or incident."
 

Cons

"We have noticed that sometimes we have a delay in action on technical support issues due to time differences."
"The capital expenditure neeed to get the tool up and running is extensive."
"One thing I don't care for is the reporting and the way it functions."
"I do not like the user interface."
"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."
"Before implementing this solution, you should have the ITSM model in place for chain management requests. That is a prerequisite because you cannot perform tasks without it."
"For healthcare, which is a pretty audited environment, there are no concrete solutions for digital signatures, apart from our license with Adobe, so it requires orchestration."
"In an upcoming release, there should be more administration tools."
"The Express edition does not allow the option for scripting."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"It is very expensive because it is a big organization. You have to pay for additional things."
"The license model is based on a number of fulfillers (active users who play some role within the ServiceNow functionality). Therefore, you can serve as many end-users as you want, without additional costs."
"This is a pretty expensive product, so the licensing could be better."
"The mandatory minimum is US$ 20,000 for licensing."
"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 platform offers a free trial, by providing a free developer instance once you sign up."
