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."
"ServiceNow IT Operations Management is a stable product."
"It is a product that is familiar for a lot of users."
"The way this solution has helped us is that it improved our communication."
"ITOM communicates information about incidents and maintains them. It handles tickets change, manages service networks, and reduces IT service downtime for the organization."
"It is flexible. You can tune it, more or less, as you want."
"I like the tool's CMBD connection with Discovery. The solution is also flexible."
"The end-to-end ticketing process is most valuable in ServiceNow IT Operations Management because its notification feature is excellent in keeping all users informed on the next step compared to BMC. I also like that ServiceNow IT Operations Management is very user-friendly."
"The solution allows you to subscribe to the features you need and utilize CMDB, ITSM, and discovery on the same platform."
 

Cons

"I didn't care for the role-based, permission-based options, which were not the best."
"Service mapping is pretty limited."
"An area for improvement for ServiceNow IT Operations Management is making service mapping and discovery easier for non-IP devices."
"The most complaints we have received from our clients are the solution's discovery aspect. I've heard a few concerns from the customers where we have to integrate with a third-party tool to make a full-fledged discovery along with ServiceNow. ServiceNow alone does not do the total capacity of the discovery. The discovery portion of ServiceNow IT Operations Management is not in-depth as what the customers are looking for. The information that it gathers from the assets is a little more limited than what other tools provide."
"There is a slower learning curve associated with the tool's scripting part. It is also not cheap."
"The tool can be improved by including more detailed information to assist new users."
"The solution's licensing model is a bit complicated. It should be simple and easy for people to understand."
"ServiceNow IT Operations Management could be improved by providing more user customization options."
"There is room for improvement in service mapping within ServiceNow ITOM. When we have more time, we'll look to extend that and apply it to business-critical services like email."
