Featured Reviews

UA
A fairly stable solution that’s highly mature, but has a poor user interface
The solution does not align as modern service solutions do. Seamless integration is no available among the processes. Their service management application needs a lot of work. It’s in a really bad state right now. They brought on a new interface that clumped all the processes and features of the solution into one. Still, it’s not really compatible with other solutions. Because of this, its rating has dropped in Gardner. The solution needs to improve its reporting features. The user interface needs a lot of improvements. The product needs to implement a cloud platform solution, which is lacking so far. Their workflow engine is still segregated. It’s not embedded. If you need to do some workflow approvals, you cannot do them directly on the service desk. You have to go into Outlook and do an approval or you have to go in through another screen to handle the approval because the workflow engine they have is a separate product.
Nikhil Gohil - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables effective incident management and seamless workflow automation with valuable mobile accessibility
I haven't thought deeply about improvements for ServiceNow or what might be missing right now. There are so many modules and features in ServiceNow that I haven't explored them all, so it's hard to say what might be missing or should be improved. I suggest making the cost more affordable for smaller companies.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution is a highly mature product. Because of this, it can stand up to any other product on the market."
"We have found the service easy to use, although, we have ended up customising a lot of parameters."
"The product's integration functionality in the change management module has significantly improved efficiency in our organization."
"I prefer ServiceNow to the competition because of its ease of use, installation and configuration."
"Simplicity of Change Manager."
"ServiceNow is a cloud-based platform, so people won't need to worry about investing on hardware to host it. Being on the cloud, it is available 24x7. It's scalable, stable, and multifeatured, with a straightforward setup and good technical support."
"I think the technical support is pretty good. They can be a little bit slow sometimes, but overall I think they're good."
"In financial management, this platform has the infrastructure allowing us to expand the way we want to. For example, it gives you many business rules and budget models that you can use to optimize your workflow. It does not put you in a box. Additionally, integrating this solution with other platforms is extremely easy to do."
"The solution is stable, scalable and easy to use."
 

Cons

"The solution needs to improve its reporting features. The user interface needs a lot of improvements."
"The capital expenditure neeed to get the tool up and running is extensive."
"Data access is a bit difficult, where you sometimes wish you had a relational database for some queries. The flexibility of data access in general is a bit on the low end. Of course, there is flexibility in some ways, but when I need a certain combination of data for some report, it can become a challenge."
"We find it good in general. Obviously, there are areas of improvement for every capability. As they evolve more, if they keep on adding more intelligence into the capabilities, it will improve. The improvement areas are more integration across the landscape and more intelligence for the overall capability of the solution."
"The biggest complaint I have is that the ServiceNow search engine is not very robust."
"It's too complicated and there are too many options."
"HR Service Management is one module that needs a lot of improvement because it's a pretty new module. It was introduced in the last two years. It's becoming more mature day by day, but there is a lot of scope for improvement in that module."
"There are sometimes challenges with the portal being a bit confusing for new users."
"Service mapping could be less complicated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."
"It is very expensive because it is a big organization. You have to pay for additional things."
"ServiceNow is an expensive solution."
"This is a pretty expensive product, so the licensing could be better."
