Software Developer at a consultancy with 51-200 employees
Chat-based requests have streamlined daily workflows
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. There are not many things that Moveworks is supporting right now. I would say it should have some features that are already present in other bots, so they should focus on those more. Currently, Moveworks has UI policy restrictions and client script restrictions. I think they should edit it so that all these UI policies and other things are allowed. If there are some forms in Moveworks, it should capture that form and ask it in the chat from the user, taking answers one by one, rather than presenting a form to users. This would have a very positive impact.

Data engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
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."
"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 solution saves us approximately three-quarters of a million dollars per year."
"The most valuable feature is the flexibility of development for customization."
"The speed of being able to do stuff; once you know where to put your code, it's very fast to put it somewhere and have it running."
"There are lots of modules around IT service management such as IT business management and human resource management (HRC)."
"It provides internal clients with greater transparency about their projects and deliverables."
"ServiceNow is a cloud solution. That fact was very important for us, that it is not an on-prem solution, as it reduces our internal cost of support."
"To me, just the initial interface is very intuitive and user-friendly and I think it's just going to be yards ahead of what we've been doing previously."
"Within our organization, we're not finding really any major issues with scalability and things of that nature."
"I would recommend this solution because I make good use of it."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"The solution could be made cheaper. Machine learning and artificial intelligence should be introduced in the next release."
"Everything is really good, but I believe ServiceNow should improve the pricing. If they are costing that much, they should not have any server crashes because we occasionally face server kind of issues when we are moving from one environment to another."
"Their cloud management is also not that great compared to other products."
"The capital expenditure neeed to get the tool up and running is extensive."
"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."
"The solution could improve by being more stable."
"The licensing needs to be divided into tiers in order to attract lower-level users."
"I feel like there should be perhaps more unit testing before patches are rolled out because every patch has broken our entire catalog."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"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."
"The first impact for the customer is that it is expensive, but do not forget that it is a solution that includes infrastructure; a single cost, easy to justify."
"The CapEx version is great."
"I rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten. The pricing for ServiceNow is based on a SaaS platform with annual contracts. However, it may not offer much flexibility for adjusting usage in the short term."
"We are happy with the pricing."
"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."
