A network monitoring platform with a useful reporting feature, but permission-based options could be better
The initial setup is fairly easy. Most of it's wizard-based. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to set it up. But if you don't know certain things related to protocols and everything else, it might be difficult. If you know how SNMP works, it'll be fairly simple to set up.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Reporting on NetCrunch is pretty good. It's very similar to SolarWinds. It's just a different interface. The majority of everything there was beneficial."
"I like the solution mostly for CMDB discovery."
"ServiceNow IT Operations Management's biggest plus point is that it is a platform, and they provide seamless integration of ITOM with their other modules such as ITSM, where we can leverage the AIs for discovery, perform impact analysis, which essentially helps to enhance the overall IT operations and reduce the downtime and MTTR."
"It provided out-of-the-box integrations, requiring only minimal effort, typically a couple of days, to massage those systems into a seamless operation."
"It is flexible. You can tune it, more or less, as you want."
"The dashboard maintenance is very good, and the tool doesn't get stuck."
"The Discovery feature is the most valuable. I only use the Discovery and Service Mapping features. I am using the minor subscription called ITOM Visibility, which includes the Discovery and Service Mapping features. It is easy to understand and easy to use. It has a lot of documentation. You can find a lot of help online, which helps me in finding what I need in a rapid way. You can find videos on YouTube channels and a lot of stuff and information in the online community."
"Their Event Management is very good."
"I like the tool's CMBD connection with Discovery. The solution is also flexible."
 

Cons

"I didn't care for the role-based, permission-based options, which were not the best."
"The service discovery tool should include HR automations that automatically remove an employee who is leaving."
"The security policies could be increased."
"We are facing difficulties with service mapping of CIs from the end users, and are seeking help from third-party vendors."
"The vendor support rates between five to six because it takes a lot of time to get issues resolved, whether minor or major. For minor issues, the team takes a month's time to provide a fix."
"There is a slower learning curve associated with the tool's scripting part. It is also not cheap."
"The solution's subscription model could be improved."
"The pattern part can be improved. Patterns are used in the Discovery feature. Although it is easy to create new patterns and modify the existing ones, it would be better if this solution can have more out-of-the-box patterns. In terms of new features, they can include artificial intelligence, something like machine learning."
"I advise others not to customize a lot while using the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is expensive. It is around 10 Euros per server per month."
"This solution offers good value but comes at a very high premium. Pricing could be reduced by 10 to 20%."
"The solution offers yearly licenses and a subscription model for add-on features."
"The solution is costly compared to the products offered by its competitors."
"It has different subscription models."
"I would rate the product's pricing a five out of ten since there are vendors who are cheaper."
"The price of ServiceNow IT Operations Management is expensive."
"The pricing is high and may be excluding the small to medium-sized enterprise businesses."
