"We can integrate different technologies in ServiceNow Customer Service Management. An organization would like to offer a digital transformative experience to its employees and customers, which the tool can offer. It can be integrated with any external system. There are also automation possibilities.""The setup phase of the solution was straightforward...Regarding the product's user interface, there is an in-built portal developed by ServiceNow, which is good.""What I like best about ServiceNow Customer Service Management is that it's a good tool. I like how fast it is and that it's cloud-based. I also like that it's very easy to use. ServiceNow Customer Service Management has minimum options, for example, column options and tab options when compared to other solutions, which makes it easier to use over others.""The tool's most valuable feature is the service portal.""Overall, I like the workflow capabilities, orchestration, and integration with existing business apps.

Cons
"The solution's marketing campaign management needs to be improved.""The solution’s performance could be improved.""The tool must provide better reporting and dashboard capabilities.""Salesforce could provide more alerts and more notifications.""Salesforce needs to improve integrations. They need to integrate generative AI.""I would say the areas of concern in the product that require improvement revolve around its integration capabilities with third-party systems.""The product needs to improve integration.""When you click on the lightning interface, it opens a tab inside. It's like a browser within a browser. It should open in its browser tab."

"The product's AI feature should be improved.""The solution seems to be moving towards low-code/no-code technology. It is a negative aspect of my experience with the product. It also needs to introduce a clearer pricing structure.""The price could be better. ServiceNow should price products more reasonably.""ServiceNow Customer Service Management works fine for me, for now, so there isn't any room for improvement I see in it. In the next release of the tool, I'd like users to be able to download all reports because as a user, I can only download a limited number of reports from ServiceNow Customer Service Management, but my management team can do so. I'm unsure if it's a feature that's included in the tool or not.""The product lacks customization capabilities. In the future, the product should include more options for customization to be able to meet the demands of the customers."
