Sentiment score

Room For Improvement

Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control requires better compatibility, documentation, interface improvements, and seamless integration, with concerns over pricing and licensing.
ServiceNow IT Operations Management needs improvement in affordability, integration, AI capabilities, user interface, automation, customization, and simplicity.
To make it better, more features could be added, but it is already a very complete tool, especially if you know how to configure it properly, as you can use it to monitor other databases such as PostgreSQL and SQL Server in addition to Oracle.
A more streamlined configuration process tailored to use cases and industry would be beneficial.
We are facing difficulties with service mapping of CIs from the end users, and are seeking help from third-party vendors.
There is room for improvement in service mapping within ServiceNow ITOM.

Featured Reviews

Gyanesh Rahatekar - PeerSpot reviewer
A robust product to deal with application performance enhancemen
It is a highly scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten. There are no issues once you install the application, and it works smoothly, meaning there are no issues related to onboarding the application according to a user's chosen profile. I have done the onboarding for more than 1,500 middleware products. There are different kinds of users of the product in our company, but the application itself has 1,500 middleware products. The solution is used on a daily basis, meaning it is used twenty-four hours and seven days a week. There are no plans to increase the use of the solution in our company.
