"Quick development and the connection with the database are the most valuable and useful features. It is also very stable, scalable, and easy to set up. Its support is also good."
"It has a well-designed architecture and is a simple 3rd party application."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"I like how we can actively develop and customize APEX because it's on the same database."
"I like the way that it automatically goes into the spreadsheets and the users can deal with it."

"ServiceNow was the first true enterprise to service management platform."
"We consider the integration capabilities of the solution with other tools to be a valuable feature."
"You can scale the solution."
"I think the technical support is pretty good. They can be a little bit slow sometimes, but overall I think they're good."
"ServiceNow is great. You can download the data into Excel and you can basically create reports. It's very flexible."
"Connecting with Oracle and the relation with Oracle at the database as a procedure needs improvement."
"It has a bit of a strict framework, you have to make all the time adjustments in their JavaScript. Another downside is that it's only available for Oracle databases."
"I don't like the URL syntax."
"Maybe there are other technologies that offer what APEX cannot."

"The solution could improve by making the CMDB integrate with a CI better to allow it to be seen across multiple platforms."
"It's a great platform, but there's still room for improvement. As the solutions stands now, you do need a lot of previous experience to use it. It would be great if they could develop some use case templates. This would be beneficial for a small and medium-sized businesses."
"The reporting, which also includes dashboards, needs to be improved, and there should also be the ability to turn on and off portions of Project Management. Currently, as soon as you install the new version, you've got to go back there and make all the tweaks. There should be just a configuration file that goes to the new version. The Project Management module does not leverage the knowledge base the way it should, and there is no built-in ability to get to the articles. Resource management should be easier. It would be amazing if they can make resource management a little bit more graphical. There are other solutions that I've seen where resource management was a more visual experience."
"Its setup is tough. It takes a lot of knowledge and a lot of experience."
"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."
"The customer service of the product right now isn't very good. It's an aspect they really need to improve."
"Currently, we are finding it a bit difficult to monitor the subscriptions that are being used. The reporting feature related to this can be improved. Its ITOM functionality can be improved. BMC does a better job than ServiceNow in terms of capturing utilization and other such things."
"It is annoying that ServiceNow keeps on changing back to Quebec every six months."
