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 really like ServiceNow and all of the features. The way incident management is built is very helpful. You have a lot of options to optimize it, customize it, and automate it. You also have a lot of options for reporting. There are plenty of possibilities to do preference management within your customer CMDB file. These are very useful features, which I missed in BMC Remedy ITSM. ServiceNow is the best ticketing tool I have used so far."
"In financial management, this platform has the infrastructure allowing us to expand the way we want to. For example, it gives you many business rules and budget models that you can use to optimize your workflow. It does not put you in a box. Additionally, integrating this solution with other platforms is extremely easy to do."
"I like the incident module, which is useful for tracking your incidents and other things. It is a reliable solution."
"You can have it installed and up and running within hours if you know what you're doing. Time to market would be one of the main things to consider."
"The subsequent chain of tasks, I believe, is valuable."
"We consider the integration capabilities of the solution with other tools to be a valuable feature."
"I would rate ServiceNow nine out of ten."
"The most impactful feature in our day-to-day operations is the ticket status, which provides crucial visibility into the progress of each resource or incident."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
 

Cons

"ServiceNow doesn't cater to the Middle Eastern market."
"Local solutions have lower costs."
"I suggest making the cost more affordable for smaller companies."
"I would like the reporting aspect to be better, including the graphs. It could have some way for us to easily to export to a csv or spreadsheet so that if a graph cannot be provided by ServiceNow itself, we would be able to use other applications to create them. Also, if there was a feature that enabled us to interact with end users directly from ServiceNow, like an instant-messaging type of feature, that would be great."
"The discovery of assets could be improved; right now they only allow for one domain."
"It would be nice if we could, with some specific access rights, move histories from one squad to another, as they generate dependencies or duplicate or flag them."
"It should enhance its offerings by providing the chance to obtain course certifications at an affordable fee."
"Change Management is the area I have found that this tool can be improved because there are so many fields which are missing, such as urgency of the customer request and how the priority is defined. These are some of the areas in which I found that BMC Remedy is much better than ServiceNow."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For the modules we use, we found it competitive. I can't think of any costs in addition to the licensing fees."
"They could be more competitive with their licensing."
"In Tunisia, the companies find the licensing costs to be expensive."
"The solution is priced for medium to enterprises sized businesses. However, it is expensive compared to competitors."
"There is an annual subscription to use this solution."
"The price could be a little lower for the solution. Many of my customers have issues with the licensing process, they have to make it easier and straightforward."
"The solution is expensive."
"For large-scale companies, the cost of ServiceNow is not expensive, but for small and mid-scale companies, it is higher."
