Low-code workflows have transformed how we automate processes and build enterprise apps

Senior Analyst at DXC Technology

First and foremost, ServiceNow Now Platform allows us to do a low-code or no-code platform, which is the wonderful first feature. On top of that, if you want to do some customization along with the low-code and no-code, you can do it. Beyond that, if you write a full-fledged customized code and make your functionality, you can do it. Workflow is there, and we can automate our workflows. Flow is there as an option. Apart from workflow and flow, we have many business rules and script includes. These are all the technical components and features of ServiceNow Now Platform that allow us to achieve our objective. ServiceNow Now Platform offers a very easy feature that we call workflow or flow. Using workflow or flow, we can customize industry workflows. The development on that flow is very simple, and you can use drag and drop functionality. If you want to do some scripting, you can do it. This is an awesome feature of ServiceNow Now Platform that allows us to develop or automate any flow in quick time. Internally, ServiceNow Now Platform uses a lot of AI features and machine learning features. This makes it more wonderful. AI and machine learning are the core of ServiceNow Now Platform, and they are using it heavily. It is making a lot of impact on deliverables. You can develop anything whatever you want on ServiceNow Now Platform. If you understand ServiceNow Now Platform capabilities, you can develop a full-fledged application on ServiceNow Now Platform easily.

Automated student enrollments have reduced manual work and now free our team for higher-value support

Tray.io is definitely a highly powerful tool, but there are three main areas that I feel could be improved. There is a steep learning curve in user accessibility; the builder is highly developer-centric, making it difficult for a non-technical team member to modify or troubleshoot workflows. Introducing a more intuitive visual interface similar to what we have in make.com right now would make the platform much more collaborative and easier to work with for any non-technical folks or newly onboarded engineers, allowing them to be briefed faster. Visual debugging is another area where troubleshooting complex nested loops can feel very abstract. Having clearer, more visual step-by-step data tracking during test runs would speed up the development and testing process. The pricing model is geared heavily towards enterprise budgets; offering more flexible mid-market pricing tiers would make it more accessible for a growing organization that wants a small start and scale up gradually. The core platform security is highly robust and easily meets our requirements for SOC 2 and GDPR compliance. However, when utilizing their AI features such as Merlin AI with sensitive student data, we maintain a very cautious approach. While Tray.io provides enterprise-grade governance guardrails and data masking capabilities, our internal compliance policies prevent us from passing any personally identifiable student information directly through AI-driven processors. We trust Tray.io's underlying infrastructure security, but we believe organizations must still enforce strict data filtering protocols on their end to ensure student privacy is maintained. During our evaluation, we tested the AI capabilities in a sandbox environment, primarily using it to generate workflow drafts and natural language prompts from web data schemas. Strength-wise, it is highly capable when it comes to translating simple text descriptions into functional workflow templates. It serves as a great accelerator, helping to map standard files quickly and reducing the initial setup time for basic integrations. For issues, in the case of highly custom APIs or deeply nested data structures, accuracy declines. We noticed occasional misinterpretation of complex schemas, meaning our developers still had to manually review and correct the outputs. It is a highly helpful productivity booster but still requires human oversight for enterprise-grade reliability.
