Solution architect at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
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.

Has a great scalable network operation
We use SOAX to access the orchestration process. We have around 15 enterprise clients that use it and I'm the company director I like that the solution has a scalable network operation. Its scalability is a key feature for us.  The product lacks support for microservice and Kubernetes…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Feature-wise, it is a very good tool, especially when it comes to upgrades; upgrades are seamless—you will not even notice an upgrade is happening, and mostly all these upgrades happen after office hours, making it seamless."
"I like the solution mostly for CMDB discovery."
"The most valuable feature of ServiceNow IT Operations Management is the user interface."
"IT support management is the most valuable feature and a very good product."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. A person just needs to join a team to access the network and that's all."
"Has service mapping, impact management, metric intelligence and health of analytics."
"Our ROI since implementing ServiceNow ITOM has been significant."
"It is very stable and reliable; there aren't bugs or glitches, it doesn't crash or freeze, and it offers good performance."
"The solution has great scalability."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in service mapping within ServiceNow ITOM."
"The solution needs to add mobilization, where we can connect mobile devices or wireless devices to do wireless scanning and bring assets into the database."
"The vendor support rates between five to six because it takes a lot of time to get issues resolved, whether minor or major. For minor issues, the team takes a month's time to provide a fix."
"The tool can be improved by including more detailed information to assist new users."
"The service discovery tool should include HR automations that automatically remove an employee who is leaving."
"Even though they call it low code there are a lot of customizations needed, especially from an ITOM standpoint."
"The product needs to add a workflow insight tool."
"There are not enough apps in the app store to expand functionality. There should be more made available."
"Lacks support for microservice and Kubernetes technology."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution offers yearly licenses and a subscription model for add-on features."
"There are additional costs, you have to pay more for everything."
"ServiceNow IT Operations Management is a costly solution. I'd rate the price at ten, on a scale from one to ten with one being the lowest and ten being the highest price. Some clients do have a problem with the price, but most find that the solution is worth the cost."
"We obtained discovery licenses at about seven dollars Australian per unit, which we found to be reasonable and competitive."
"I would rate the product's pricing a five out of ten since there are vendors who are cheaper."
"It has different subscription models."
"The solution is costly compared to the products offered by its competitors."
"The pricing is high and may be excluding the small to medium-sized enterprise businesses."
