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."
"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 development aspects within it are valuable, including incident, change, and problem, and it has given us one pane of glass to look at a lot of stuff, which has opened a lot of eyes to our IT department."
"The most valuable feature is that this is a Cloud solution."
"Creating a ticket is much simpler in this tool. That is one big advantage. Also, the simplicity and ease of use are much better. I've used HPSM and it is very complex in comparison to ServiceNow."
"The solution has good stability."
"I would recommend this solution, it's really an excellent tool in comparison to the current market tools like SCP and a lot of other tools out there."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the possibility of the application development cap so that we can digitize workflows."
"It offers enhanced and efficient communication between the requester and the four pillar EDR through an online chat platform."
"It's more about the ease of use of ServiceNow. Plus, everything is there in a single platform. If you need any additional functionality, you just need to enable the plugins without even installing anything on the servers"
 

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 Software Asset Management feature can be improved. We would like to see more features for the Software Asset Management functionality. Its price can also be better. It is currently more expensive than other solutions."
"It's a very complex tool with a lot of different pieces and it takes a lot of different people to support it because everyone has to be specialized in their own piece."
"In some cases stability is an issue."
"ServiceNow's customization is not too agile in those cases; it takes a little bit of time."
"The interface can be a bit more intuitive."
"It's a little expensive compared to other tools."
"Sometimes it could be better and faster."
"It is pricey, and for good reason."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I would say it is moderately expensive, ranging from six to seven on a scale of ten."
"The cost is quite high."
"The solution is expensive."
"I'm not aware of any additional costs. I'm pretty sure that the current client is paying just the licensing fee per user. I do know that they've got some support agreement with ServiceNow, but I don't think that is broken out or specific to Project Management. It is just inclusive."
"This is a pretty expensive product, so the licensing could be better."
"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 pricing is reasonable and affordable, making it suitable for businesses ranging from small to large scale."
"Getting the solution up and running is expensive."
