Boosts efficiency and significantly reduces operational costs
They handle all the training and implementation work, making it very easy to use. It integrates into Slack and connects with ServiceNow effortlessly. The only limitation is getting all the service requests or features in ServiceNow that it can learn. Anyone can use it through Slack by simply asking questions to receive answers. We partnered with them to build a Workday integration for requesting and checking time off. They are expanding across the enterprise as a co-pilot, integrating with HR, finance, Keeper, and Salesforce. We also use their communications module, which allows scheduled communications to be sent through Slack or Teams. These communications are personalized for each recipient. When comparing email engagement rates of 3% to Moveworks' 12%, the platform reaches approximately four times more people.

Structured workflows have improved SLA compliance and now support prioritized incident handling
I think the licensing and pricing of ServiceNow is quite expensive compared to other tools. For large organizations, it is acceptable, but specifically for small and medium organizations to track incidents or change requests, ServiceNow is quite expensive. Sometimes performance can be slow when workflows and integrations are configured for complex tasks. For advanced customizations or advanced features which we rarely use, the documentation is not up to standard. The documentation needs to be improved for advanced customization features. However, the platform is stable overall and the features are quite good. The user experience and performance concerns I mentioned are areas I want to be improved. When many workflows and interactions are configured, performance is slow. For the features it is providing, it is quite expensive. If these performance features are improved, we can easily pay that price and get the return on investment.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Moveworks is a very good platform if you utilize it well."
"The solution saves us approximately three-quarters of a million dollars per year."
"Moveworks has reduced employee time because initially, employees used to spend so much time going to the third party to do all those jobs, and now they can simply do it via Otter, which is Moveworks, and this has saved much time and provided accurate results as well."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the possibility of the application development cap so that we can digitize workflows."
"ServiceNow is a very powerful tool that can perform a lot of different functions."
"Scheduling reports has decreased manual effort."
"Straightforward tool."
"Identifies better ways to license software or eliminate unused software to save money and maintain a choice between buying more licenses or reclaiming licenses to stay within compliance."
"I would recommend this solution because I make good use of it."
"In the past, I've used other products, and they're not that scalable; if you're working in a company that has multiple facilities, multiple countries, the best way to go is with ServiceNow."
"The solution is stable and the performance is good, there aren't bugs or glitches, it doesn't crash, and it's reliable."
 

Cons

"More use cases can be added to the agent marketplace and the YAML or the DSL methods can be simplified, adding more methods to make it easier for us to create compound actions."
"Moveworks can definitely be improved. Currently, we have to do most of the things on our own, such as creating UI and APIs for how things will work."
"They could improve license management, particularly when integrating different applications or toolsets."
"You can make the tool do anything, which may not always be a good thing."
"It's not very secure, it's web-based, and I prefer Remedy. Both the security and the web interface could be improved."
"A new user does need training or time to learn the solution before jumping in. It was very hard in the beginning to understand everything."
"The challenge with ServiceNow lies in its expansive portfolio of services. It can be complex, and users may find it expensive and challenging to understand. There is a need for a configurator within ServiceNow that guides users on how to utilize the tool effectively. This configurator should provide insights into licensing, team requirements, and the best licensing model based on whether companies prefer ownership or consumption-based models."
"The capital expenditure needed to get the tool up and running is extensive."
"It's not user-friendly by default, but it can be customized to be customer-friendly."
"I am interested to see the firm's strategic plans for Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), and how the particular areas it will expand on from its existing investments (that feature, for example, in its ITSM Pro and CSM Pro modules)."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"For the modules we use, we found it competitive. I can't think of any costs in addition to the licensing fees."
"We know that ServiceNow is not cheap, it's more expensive than other solutions. But we are trying to increase our ability to handle tickets so that the cost per ticket is less."
"The licensing expenses are excessively high."
"The price of the solution is comparable to industry standards. For the features that we received, it is reasonable."
"There are licensing fees."
"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 pricing is on the high side, but if you look at the stability and option to work, it's kind of justified."
"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."
