Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most important features of ServiceNow IT Operations Management are the discovery service mapping and orchestration."
"I like the solution due to the fact that it's scalable."
"The most valuable feature of ServiceNow IT Operations Management is the user interface."
"As a product, ServiceNow IT Operations Management is pretty strong, and it can discover non-IP devices."
"It's easy to set up."
"The scalability of ServiceNow is good."
"It includes a valuable feature called Discovery, that aids in application portfolio management, enabling visibility into IT infrastructure from top to bottom."
"The most valuable features of ServiceNow IT Operations Management are ease of use, intuitive design, and ease of management, and its based on IT practices which are good."
"The most valuable thing I have found is the cost saving recommendations"
"The product is easy to use in terms of monitoring all the environments. It works for multiple clouds."
"This solution is fast and very easy to understand, even if you are not a technician."
"The solution is good for cloud cost management."
"We are able to create an internal price of the product that we can then sell to clients. We get the cost plan at a good discount and then resell it with a mark up to our enterprise-level clients. This flexibility in pricing is one of the solution's best features."
"The solution is useful for cloud transparency and visibility in reports and dashboards that I have generated, especially the pre-populated dashboards."
"It's stable. For report presentation, it's been fast."
"The pricing is rather competitive right now."
 

Cons

"If you are new to using the solution, you will find the setup complex."
"There is room for improvement in the stability of ServiceNow."
"My managers would say that the price is too high. We wanted to also have the visibility version of it, but it's too expensive for us. Going for visibility would have doubled up the price."
"The time for deployment of ServiceNow IT Operations Management depends on many factors. It's a SaaS application, it should not take too long, but if you want to define the tool based on your processes, then it would take some time. It fully depends on the company's complexity. There are out-of-the-box product flows and if you want to use them, you can from day one. However, if you want to customize it and change it to your company's practices, then it will take more time. The setup could be faster."
"The most complaints we have received from our clients are the solution's discovery aspect. I've heard a few concerns from the customers where we have to integrate with a third-party tool to make a full-fledged discovery along with ServiceNow. ServiceNow alone does not do the total capacity of the discovery. The discovery portion of ServiceNow IT Operations Management is not in-depth as what the customers are looking for. The information that it gathers from the assets is a little more limited than what other tools provide."
"Lacks the ability to do its own monitoring."
"We are facing difficulties with service mapping of CIs from the end users, and are seeking help from third-party vendors."
"The service discovery tool should include HR automations that automatically remove an employee who is leaving."
"The Perspectives feature could be better."
"They should provide information or tools to tune the cloud resources according to the environment size."
"I would like to see better integration from CloudHealth to create easier setup and implementation."
"CloudHealth needs to start building out Turbonomics-types of features that help the customers who are using CloudHealth really understand everything down to the server level, the virtual machine level."
"The performance and accuracy of Cloud Health need to be improved."
"If you are working with the OS you need help and other connectors to get more information."
"The export features regarding CSV files and specifically around identifying savings plans have room for improvement, as well as the drill-down features for reservation utilization."
"The solution doesn't offer the best functionality, unfortunately. Some features just simply aren't on offer. The solution needs to offer more product milestones."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has different subscription models."
"I would rate the product's pricing a five out of ten since there are vendors who are cheaper."
"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."
"It is expensive. It is around 10 Euros per server per month."
"This solution offers good value but comes at a very high premium. Pricing could be reduced by 10 to 20%."
"While not entirely sure, I believe the solution costs at least a million dollars annually."
"We obtained discovery licenses at about seven dollars Australian per unit, which we found to be reasonable and competitive."
"My customers pay for the ServiceNow IT Operations Management license annually. I'd rate the pricing based on value. ServiceNow IT Operations Management is a premium product as it has better features than competitors."
"I give the cost of the solution an eight out of ten."
"The pricing is competitive and while other products are good they are considerably more expensive."
"The licensing fees depend on how big the company is. If you are a larger company then you have a better contract with a better price. The price is different for a small company."
"There could be flexibility in pricing for the product."
"CloudHealth has a subscription-based model."
