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 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."
"Moveworks is a very good platform if you utilize it well."
"What I like the most is the functionality, it's features are rich, and there is a high degree of compliance with IT standards."
"SPM and ITSM features are the most helpful."
"For me and for what our business uses, I highly recommend it, but that you should look at their business case and see if you need a product as fully featured as ServiceNow is because it comes at a cost."
"It allows us to filter the data, create graphs, and get detailed reports."
"It is quite flexible as a system and is very visual."
"For me, the most valuable feature is the flexibility it allows in customization."
"It has an excellent capability to integrate different access points."
"The way it can integrate with other applications and be a central hub for anything we need to do, plus the fact that it's cloud based, is huge for us."
 

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."
"The customization that we are doing for the needs of our organization are difficult to do and could be improved."
"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."
"I'd like to see improvement in their mobile space just because that's certainly my priority."
"We still have some issues with some of our ITIL users, like some things aren't as intuitive as they could be."
"The solution could be made cheaper. Machine learning and artificial intelligence should be introduced in the next release."
"From an HR standpoint, if users can have a very integrated onboarding or offboarding process between ServiceNow and Workday, then it can give a very good employee experience."
"Technical support could be better. We are not satisfied with the level of support they offer."
"Knowledgeable - it's kind of questionable because the problem they are also facing is expanding leaps and bounds."
 

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."
"The platform offers a free trial, by providing a free developer instance once you sign up."
"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."
"The solution is expensive."
"$230 per user."
"They could be more competitive with their licensing."
"The price of the solution is comparable to industry standards. For the features that we received, it is reasonable."
"Initially, the licensing model ServiceNow came up with was very good. But now, from a licensing perspective, they are changing their model day by day. It is becoming a bit expensive for customers."
