Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is easily configurable and has a good developer society online, available for any issues from the backend.""If it is a high priority, they will respond very quickly. If it is a low priority issue, it might take some time, some three or four days. I would rate the technical support as a 10 out of 10.""For the nuts and bolts running of an IT organization, I can't really say there's anything lacking feature-wise.""The solution is easy to use, simple to make queries, flexible to configure, integrates well, and supports all of our companies needs.""ServiceNow is a very powerful tool that can perform a lot of different functions.""Will give us better control over asset management and technical debt once we can centralize all contract information.""The most valuable feature is the flexibility of development for customization.""It's great to do statuses or to review tasks."

More ServiceNow Pros →

"This solution is fast and very easy to understand, even if you are not a technician.""We use dashboards quite heavily, but one of the features that have really stood out is some of the policies we've created to alert us of particular situations.""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 product is easy to use in terms of monitoring all the environments. It works for multiple clouds.""The pricing is rather competitive right now.""The solution is good for cloud cost management."

Cons
"The user interface could be much improved, and the developer tools and sets can be improved greatly, they are lacking.""The RPA needs improvement. That's a new area for them that they're just entering into now.""For healthcare, which is a pretty audited environment, there are no concrete solutions for digital signatures, apart from our license with Adobe, so it requires orchestration.""The standard UI is very restricted. It doesn't look as good, compared to Remedy. Building your own UI requires some additional coding...""The solution's user experience could be improved concerning its UI and portals.""It's too complicated and there are too many options.""HR Service Management is one module that needs a lot of improvement because it's a pretty new module. It was introduced in the last two years. It's becoming more mature day by day, but there is a lot of scope for improvement in that module.""There's always a room for improvement in terms of the ServiceNow UI. For customers, the UI is something that is a continuous improvement."

More ServiceNow Cons →

"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.""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.""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 solution doesn't offer the best functionality, unfortunately. Some features just simply aren't on offer. The solution needs to offer more product milestones.""The performance and accuracy of Cloud Health need to be improved.""The Perspectives feature could be better.""It would be helpful to have a mobile version or a tablet version, especially for people who are outside of the office."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The first impact for the customer is that it is expensive, but do not forget that it is a solution that includes infrastructure; a single cost, easy to justify."
  • "It has a higher cost compared to local/regional solutions."
  • "We know that ServiceNow is not cheap, it's more expensive than other solutions. But we are trying to increase our ability to handle tickets so that the cost per ticket is less."
  • "It's sold as a less expensive solution, but it has to be highly modified. That's where you get into the cost."
  • "ServiceNow pricing is an art, not a science. The deal depends on how commercially savvy you are, which does make it something that is quite difficult to get right. It is most definitely an opportunity area for ServiceNow to improve and have more visibility around pricing of the different products within the platform."
  • "ServiceNow is a leader and its pricing is quite good, quite competitive... Sometimes some plugins are not priced reasonably but, generally, the platform itself, its modules, are priced reasonably."
  • "Isn't pricing always too much? We really do chafe at the ITIL licensing. ITOM is also pretty expensive."
  • "Initially, the licensing model ServiceNow came up with was very good. But now, from a licensing perspective, they are changing their model day by day. It is becoming a bit expensive for customers."
  • More ServiceNow Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "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."
  • "CloudHealth has a subscription-based model."
  • "The pricing is competitive and while other products are good they are considerably more expensive."
  • "I give the cost of the solution an eight out of ten."
  • "There could be flexibility in pricing for the product."
