Service helps organizations with network discovery and IT infrastructure management but troubleshooting challenges remain

Pros

"I would rate the stability of ServiceNow Discovery as nine, as we never had downtime."

Cons

"I would rate technical support for ServiceNow Discovery as four. This rating is because there are features on the tool that never worked and despite calling our support, there were no results."

Scans servers and network devices through SNMP and reduces manual maintenance for our infrastructure team

Pros

"Most fields on our forms are auto-filled, reducing manual maintenance for our infrastructure team. Post Discovery implementation there is hardly any maintenance. "

Cons

"I feel that credential-less discovery could be improved."

Has a beneficial service mapping feature and provides automated ITSM processes

Pros

"ServiceNow Discovery has played a vital role in improving service visibility through automated IT service management processes, including change and problem management."

Cons

"The current limitation requires having mid servers or discovery servers in each data center for proper discovery, hindering the ability to discover assets across continents such as Asia Pacific and Europe. "

Workflows assign tasks effectively without coding and integration capabilities optimize costs

Pros

Reliable tool with an efficient dependancy mapping feature

Pros

"The product's discovery feature is valuable due to its accuracy, reliability, and the high prestige associated with the information it provides. "

Cons

"The continuous improvement in the quality and customization of the product features would be beneficial, particularly as more customers rely heavily on its capabilities."

Contributes to maintaining high-quality data within the organization, and highly scalable product

Pros

"It has been stable since deployment. "

Cons

"In future releases, I would like to see more AI-oriented enhancements in the solution. It would automate most of the things that we have to do manually write the scripts and go on the teleservice, what to do. So if we have something in place and if we can train the module, then AI would be a good thing. "

Valuable relationship building that discovers and auto-builds to make cleanup easy

Pros

"The most valuable asset is relationship building because the solution discovers and builds auto relationships in a way that makes cleanup very easy. "

Cons

"The solution should improve the classes of discovery assets to disregard more junk data."

Offers agentless Discovery and allows to maintain all the CIs in one place

Pros

"The best thing about Discovery is maintaining all the CIs in one place. I can sort the data, export it to Excel for manipulation, and build reports like how many computers or servers we have and their capacity. "

Cons

"The initial setup could be made easier. We hired professionals to implement it, and they trained our employees for ongoing processes. "
