Pros

"The solution is saving time by providing templates, reducing duplication in rule configuration, and offering efficient alert management."
"It's easy to set up."
"The most valuable features of the solution are discovery, cloud governance, event management, and service mapping."
"The end-to-end ticketing process is most valuable in ServiceNow IT Operations Management because its notification feature is excellent in keeping all users informed on the next step compared to BMC. I also like that ServiceNow IT Operations Management is very user-friendly."
"From my perspective as an asset manager, the most valuable feature of the solution is the configuration management portion, where I can actively add something to the database."
"The asset management tools are very valuable."
"It is flexible. You can tune it, more or less, as you want."

Cons

"The service discovery tool should include HR automations that automatically remove an employee who is leaving."
"It should have better integrations with other solutions."
"The solution’s licensing cost could be improved."
"At times, it got cumbersome from the project management perspective. It could have been because of the way we were using it. I found Microsoft Project to be more extensive and robust than ITOM."

"Enhancing automation-related solutions, such as Wi-Fi, porting, machinery, and product automation would help to achieve better operational outcomes."

"We are facing difficulties with service mapping of CIs from the end users, and are seeking help from third-party vendors."
"I'm fairly new to the solution and need to explore it further."
