Integrating departments for unified service while managing complexity and learning curve
ServiceNow Customer Service Management integrates the admin, finance, HR, and service departments, enabling an employee of an organization to get service from a single window. It integrates all different queues into one dashboard and consolidates various departments, ensuring visibility across the organization is transparent. It helps to create a shared services organization, reducing the operational complexity and facilitating a more unified service delivery. It consolidates all service desks under one umbrella, enhancing efficiency.
Leonid Mironov - PeerSpot reviewer
Facilitating data-driven decisions with powerful reporting and case management
The most valuable features are case management and reporting. The Unified-CXM Platform also helps in data aggregation and offers the capability to export data in different formats and integrate it with common CRMs like Microsoft 360 or Salesforce. Additionally, the ability to manage access to the data and ensure visibility to third parties is quite beneficial. The solution allows me to take data-driven decisions and identify gaps within the business by collecting and labeling data extensively.

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

Pros

"The integration capabilities of ServiceNow are wonderful."
"The best aspect of ServiceNow Customer Service Management is its out-of-the-box features that support all customer service processes."
"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."
"ServiceNow Customer Service Management integrates the admin, finance, HR, and service departments, enabling an employee of an organization to get service from a single window."
"The product provides flexibility in managing and categorizing the incidents."
"Our organization has received excellent tech support for ServiceNow Customer Service Management."

Cons

"ServiceNow Customer Service Management is expensive, with costs around half a million US dollars per year. While suitable for enterprises and medium-sized clients, it may be cost-prohibitive for smaller businesses."
"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 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 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."
"If our organization wants to customize features that are not initially available in the system, these customizations might cause issues during upgrades."
"One area for improvement would be integrating IVR systems. Many customers need the ticketing solution and a native IVR system within the same platform. ServiceNow Customer Service Management doesn't offer an IVR solution that works natively or comes in the same package. Customers often have to integrate their IVR with third-party solutions like Twilio. However, the agreement between ServiceNow and Twilio ended some months ago, making it more challenging to integrate IVR functionalities."
"Sometimes ServiceNow Customer Service Management lags, meaning the speed is low or there is a delay in operations."
"The price could be better. ServiceNow should price products more reasonably."
"When onboarding new users, the platform requires a lot of fine-tuning, which demands certain expertise on the customer side."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
"The product has a premium price"
"I rate the product's pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. The solution is neither cheap nor expensive."
"ServiceNow Customer Service Management is expensive. It's one of the most costly CSM options in the marketplace."
