Enterprise governance has transformed how we automate terraform and manage policy as code
Scalr's UI and documentation could be more intuitive, especially for first-time users. During onboarding, I identified the need for improved documentation, especially for first-time users navigating various challenges, which has led to some struggles in finding the right answers in the documentation. Better search capabilities and more comprehensive documentation that is easy to navigate would be beneficial.

Significant enhancement in operations with powerful discovery and analytics, yet pricing structure poses challenges
ServiceNow IT Operations Management provides out-of-the-box dashboards. Along with the dashboard, it also provides the Operations Workspace, which is very useful for operations teams. There is a functionality called Performance Analytics, which we are also using to develop some dashboards for the senior leadership and operations team where they can perform trend analysis of alerts and events happening across the infrastructure and application landscape. These dashboards are really useful here. ServiceNow IT Operations Management's biggest plus point is that it is a platform. ITOM is just one module that ServiceNow IT Operations Management offers, but they provide seamless integration of ITOM with their other modules such as ITSM, where we can leverage the AIs for discovery, perform impact analysis, which essentially helps to enhance the overall IT operations and reduce the downtime and MTTR.
