"Customer service is excellent."
"The asset management tools are very valuable."

"Our ROI since implementing ServiceNow ITOM has been significant."
"As a product, ServiceNow IT Operations Management is pretty strong, and it can discover non-IP devices."
 

Cons

"Adding application performance monitoring to the product alongside infrastructure monitoring would make it a more complete and useful solution."
"In future iterations of this solution, there is a desire for more seamless integration with other monitoring software."
"There are some bugs, although not that many. There are some situations where the solution is not stable but the number of problems is not very high."
"Nagios Fusion should include a 'remember me' option when logging in, so we don't need to enter a username and password every time."
"It should have better integrations with other solutions."
"I advise others not to customize a lot while using the solution."

"I believe that technical support could improve a bit. I would rate it a six."
"We are facing difficulties with service mapping of CIs from the end users, and are seeking help from third-party vendors."
"ServiceNow IT Operations Management is not very affordable. It is affordable for organizations with a minimum of 5,000 users plus."

"My customers pay for the ServiceNow IT Operations Management license annually. I'd rate the pricing based on value. ServiceNow IT Operations Management is a premium product as it has better features than competitors."
"This solution offers good value but comes at a very high premium. Pricing could be reduced by 10 to 20%."
"It is expensive. It is around 10 Euros per server per month."
"The pricing is high and may be excluding the small to medium-sized enterprise businesses."
"ServiceNow IT Operations Management is a costly solution. I'd rate the price at ten, on a scale from one to ten with one being the lowest and ten being the highest price. Some clients do have a problem with the price, but most find that the solution is worth the cost."
