Nikhil Gohil - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables effective incident management and seamless workflow automation with valuable mobile accessibility
I haven't thought deeply about improvements for ServiceNow or what might be missing right now. There are so many modules and features in ServiceNow that I haven't explored them all, so it's hard to say what might be missing or should be improved. I suggest making the cost more affordable for smaller companies.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I have found that sorting and grouping functions are particularly useful."
"I like that it's always up and running."
"The solution is stable, scalable and easy to use."
"The solution is easy to use, simple to make queries, flexible to configure, integrates well, and supports all of our companies needs."
"It's actually easy to understand."
"It can scale well if you are managing IT assets."
"It offers ready-built automation and simpler configuration for workflows."
"I think the technical support is pretty good. They can be a little bit slow sometimes, but overall I think they're good."
"It's stable. For report presentation, it's been fast."
"This solution is fast and very easy to understand, even if you are not a technician."
"The most valuable thing I have found is the cost saving recommendations"
"The solution is good for cloud cost management."
"The product is easy to use in terms of monitoring all the environments. It works for multiple clouds."
"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."
"The solution is useful for cloud transparency and visibility in reports and dashboards that I have generated, especially the pre-populated dashboards."
"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."
 

Cons

"I have enjoyed all the features. There is not any feature that I have missed or didn't have."
"The solution could improve by being more stable."
"The major area for improvement for our needs would be monitoring the metrics of the times to acknowledge and resolve issues and escalations."
"The Software Asset Management feature can be improved. We would like to see more features for the Software Asset Management functionality. Its price can also be better. It is currently more expensive than other solutions."
"The interface is not user-friendly."
"Integration capabilities can improve."
"The discovery of assets could be improved; right now they only allow for one domain."
"This solution needs to be improved for global use. Currently, it's very oriented to the processes and needs of the US customer base, like their compliance solution or GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance), and not so much for customers from other parts of the world. Some users may like the things that ServiceNow is improving, but those are very oriented to users based in the United States and Europe."
"The Perspectives feature could be better."
"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 solution doesn't offer the best functionality, unfortunately. Some features just simply aren't on offer. The solution needs to offer more product milestones."
"If you are working with the OS you need help and other connectors to get more information."
"They should provide information or tools to tune the cloud resources according to the environment size."
"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."
"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 licenses are expensive."
"The solution is expensive."
"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."
"In Tunisia, the companies find the licensing costs to be expensive."
"The licensing expenses are excessively high."
"The license model is based on a number of fulfillers (active users who play some role within the ServiceNow functionality). Therefore, you can serve as many end-users as you want, without additional costs."
"It is an expensive 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."
"There could be flexibility in pricing for the product."
"CloudHealth has a subscription-based model."
"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."
