ServiceNow Reviews

The Service Now product is very configurable to meet your business process, which is very important. The web interface is clean and fast and the product works on iPad and smartphone devices. Changes are easy to make and update throughout the environments. The visual workflow editor is simply amazing - we were able to create an online purchase process in less than 12 hours. The Service Now product development is very active with major updates a couple of times a year. The Service Now community is extremely committed to the product as evidenced by postings on discussion groups as well as attendance at the Knowledge conferences. If you can afford it, this is the premium Service Management suite out there.

I mentioned that the tool is very customizable, which is both good and bad. You can make the tool do anything, which may not always be a good thing. There is a mix of old and new technology in the tool that you will run into at times.

The main use case of the product involves providing solutions for customers aiming at enhancing their overall business efficiency and effectiveness in managing IT services and operations.

ServiceNow is easy to use and has a user-friendly interface. It offers broad workflow functionality, including IT, HR, Accounting, and Legal departments. The users can build new business workflows with low code.

The platform price needs improvement. System deployment and automation capabilities could be within the platform, similar to competitors like Ivanti and BMC. At present, we have to rely on third-party products for the same.

I have been using ServiceNow's latest version.

I rate the product's stability a ten out of ten.

We have around 1000 ServiceNow users in our organization. I rate the scalability a ten out of ten.

The technical support team is helpful and responsive.

We are working with Ivanti and BMC Helix.

The complexity of the initial setup can vary based on the size and complexity of the organization implementing it. Including proof of concept, may take around three months or more for large companies and enterprises working in the IT department. The duration can depend on the specific modules being implemented. Setting up a data center and different management processes for seamless operations is crucial. It takes another hour or a week to complete.

We have a dedicated team to maintain the product. The team's strength depends on the specific budget and the number of requests and incidents. At the moment, we have two administrators working on deployment and maintenance.

The product cost is higher than that of other vendors. It depends on the specific requirements. It is suitable for large enterprises.

I rate the pricing a two out of ten.

I rate ServiceNow an eight out of ten. It is a powerful platform and provides essential functionality for different workflows. It is easy to maintain as well.

We use it for incident management and service requests.

It offers enhanced and efficient communication between the requester and the four pillar EDR through an online chat platform. It enables faster communication and turnaround time between the parties, which was previously challenging through phone conversations. The requester can check with the online representative and capture relevant information in the email for seamless communication and documentation.

Its service level management and comprehensive service catalog are very beneficial. The solution focuses on utilizing a clear network to document the service request item catalog, allowing for efficient capture of requests and prompt response. This feature improves customer experience by providing a user-friendly platform.

I would like to see further integration of the automation workflow with robotic process automation that would streamline processes and improve productivity.

I have been working with it for ten years.

The platform is developed specifically for IT service management and offers a range of enhanced features. I would rate it seven out of ten.

The scaling abilities of the solution are good. They are influenced by commercial factors and the efficiency of quickly reaching agreements for extending the platform's functionality. I would rate it six out of ten.

I am satisfied with the customer support and service provided.

The initial setup was not that complex. The main challenge in setting up the solution lies in the implementation process. There are many difficulties in adapting the workflow and approvals to align with ServiceNow's functionalities. Customer preferences and the need for customization may result in complicating the process further. Having a thorough understanding of the system is crucial for efficiently configuring the platform to meet customer requirements. I would rate it seven out of ten.

The deployment was divided into phases. The duration of one was a month and a half, and the other one was about six months. The entire deployment process took around two years by a team of approximately ten to fifteen people, including the implementers and the users.

It is not a cheap solution. I would say it is moderately expensive, ranging from six to seven on a scale of ten.

It is important to adopt the designed process for the platform rather than customizing or slowing down the platform to fit existing processes. That enables the utilization of the features effectively, including the ability to rate and provide feedback on the sweepstakes. Failure to adopt the designed process may result in difficulties with future upgrades and enhancements. Overall, I would rate it eight out of ten.

We utilize it as a ticketing tool for the customer support team. It helps us manage digital workflow and possible incident alerts.

Many features are valuable. It allows us to filter the data, create graphs, and get detailed reports.

The pricing structure could be more budget-friendly.

I have been using it for two years.

The solution is stable.

It provides scalability.

They provide good support for their customers.

The initial setup was straightforward.

The deployment process was executed quickly and easily, including setup and repair testing. It was done in a few hours by our technical team. We implemented our real-time data analytics application into the system, ran a test and after it created alerts, we passed on the alert reports to the designated team for evaluation.

We have seen a positive return on investment. The solution is worth the value for the pricing.

It is fairly expensive.

I am satisfied with the solution. I would rate it nine out of ten.
