Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Predictive analysis is a valued feature.""The most valuable feature of OpsRamp is the creation of the dashboards of the infrastructure for the CPU memory and SQL servers. Additionally, URL monitoring through Selenium scripting and the availability dashboard is useful.""The feature that we have found most useful are the dashboards, which can be built in minutes using this solution, allowing multiple products, thresholds, or any given required metric to be seen in a single area.""We find the products seamless integration with Zendesk to be extremely valuable to our business.""The technical support is fantastic, and they are fast to respond.""The feature we found most valuable in OpsRamp is alert generation because whenever there is any kind of spike on any virtual machine, the solution generates alerts based on the thresholds we implemented. We have integrated our ideas and tools with OpsRamp, so alerts are generated, then we notify the customers. That's the main feature we like about OpsRamp because we don't have to monitor each resource. Instead, OpsRamp does the monitoring for us, and it generates the alerts based on the thresholds.""It greatly assists small and medium-sized businesses in using the ITSM, alerting, and monitoring features.""The most valuable feature of this solution in my experience, is that the available reporting is quite accurate."

"The most important features of ServiceNow IT Operations Management are the discovery service mapping and orchestration.""It is a market leader and is very implementation-friendly. Developers have a clear understanding of how the solution works, and it is mature enough to handle different client needs.""I like the tool's discovery feature.""The dashboard maintenance is very good, and the tool doesn't get stuck.""The auto remediation feature has been most valuable. They have also introduced an AOP feature of ServiceNow that we are keen to explore.""The solution is very capable and user friendly.""Has service mapping, impact management, metric intelligence and health of analytics.""The most valuable features of ServiceNow IT Operations Management are ease of use, intuitive design, and ease of management, and its based on IT practices which are good."

Cons
"OpsRamp could improve the critical alerts. We have been receiving some false alerts when monitoring. For example, the alert shows the site is down, but when we try to do manual access to the URL, it's accessible.""An area of improvement would be application monitoring.""We would like this solution to be developed into a full CMP tool, so that we are able to use a single product for all of our cloud management needs.""The function to search any particular device within this solution needs to be improved. Currently, the solution develops a lag when a search, or a comparison, is being carried out.""The user interface of this product requires some changes as it is not inclusively user-friendly. For example, the performance indicators are color-based , which means that they are confusing for anyone who is color blind.""Automation is currently quite complex and needs to be improved.""What's lacking in OpsRamp is process automation, and if there is, I wish there could be more of it, other than just spikes, or it would be better if the alerts can be generated based on different matrices. That option is absent in OpsRamp at the moment, and it would be valuable if that could be provided in the solution, especially if there's any kind of security issue in the VM.""I would like to see two things. The first is a self-service portal for the cloud, any cloud deployments, and the second is maturity validation towards ITSM, internalizing OpsRamp TSM. As a result, instead of integrating with more mature tools similar to ServiceNow, people will use OpsRamp."

More OpsRamp Cons →

"If you are new to using the solution, you will find the setup complex.""When it comes to improvements, I think that my colleagues and I often have issues finding the correct screen and the search box does not work as intended.""Service mapping is pretty limited.""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 room for improvement in the stability of ServiceNow.""The service discovery tool should include HR automations that automatically remove an employee who is leaving.""The out-of-the-box reporting feature is not as user friendly as other tools.""Even though they call it low code there are a lot of customizations needed, especially from an ITOM standpoint."
