Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's actually easy to understand."
"We always get good support."
"The features of ServiceNow that I find most valuable include its ability to easily access ticket details if you know the ticket number, monitor the timeline of when the ticket was created, and see the current status, which makes ServiceNow the best tool I have ever used."
"Creating a ticket is much simpler in this tool. That is one big advantage. Also, the simplicity and ease of use are much better. I've used HPSM and it is very complex in comparison to ServiceNow."
"I like the incident module, which is useful for tracking your incidents and other things. It is a reliable solution."
"ServiceNow is a cloud-based platform, so people won't need to worry about investing on hardware to host it. Being on the cloud, it is available 24x7. It's scalable, stable, and multifeatured, with a straightforward setup and good technical support."
"We used ServiceNow for change management, release management, and event management."
"It facilitates the monitoring of major incidents and provides insights into the effort expended to resolve each incident."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
 

Cons

"The solution could be made cheaper. Machine learning and artificial intelligence should be introduced in the next release."
"The user interface could be much improved, and the developer tools and sets can be improved greatly, they are lacking."
"The solution’s pricing is expensive and could be improved."
"It's not user-friendly by default, but it can be customized to be customer-friendly."
"Local solutions have lower costs."
"I would like to see a mobile version of ServiceNow."

"An area for improvement would be the accessibility of downloaded and compressed files."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
