Supports proactive IT issue resolution and enhances infrastructure visibility
Pros and Cons
  • "I consider the stability to be very high, rating it ten out of ten."
  • "I believe that technical support could improve a bit. I would rate it a six."

What is our primary use case?

We use ServiceNow IT Operations Management for IT Operations Management, including Discovery, service mapping, Certificate Inventory, ITOM Health (which is Event Management), and Gen AI. We use ITOM Visibility to help us identify the impact of different applications in service mapping. ITOM Discovery is used for scanning all the infrastructure running in our organization and populating that to CMDB. ITOM Health, an event management tool, can predict any outage proactively. Certificate Inventory predicts when the certificate is going to expire and sends alerts to different teams or owners to remind them of the renewal process. ServiceNow IT Operations Management also has a direct impact on ITSM processes, helping automate processes and predict and resolve IT issues proactively.

What is most valuable?

ITOM Visibility assists in service mapping and determining the impact of different applications. ITOM Discovery scans the infrastructure and updates the CMDB. ITOM Health is an event management tool that predicts outages. Certificate Inventory manages certificate expiration. ServiceNow IT Operations Management influences ITSM processes by automating them and aiding in detecting and resolving IT issues to improve performance, reliability, and uptime.
