"The features I find the most valuable are the 365 and Microsoft applications integrations and the automation."
"It uses a lot of AI, which is helpful, especially during the setup process."
"The solution becomes easier the set up once you get used to it."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"It is stable and reliable."
"Ability to generate QR codes and scan barcodes."
"There is value in being able to collect and compare information in real-time to present alternatives for correcting vulnerabilities."
"The incident management has been the most useful feature for us."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"What I like most about the ServiceNow Now Platform is the flexibility of using JavaScript. I also like that the platform allows custom scripting, server-side scripting, and client-side scripting. Another valuable feature in the ServiceNow Now Platform is the Flow Designer which allows dragging and dropping code, and low code activities."
"Assignment Group history is really important to me."
"ServiceNow Now Platform is quite useful, scalable, and flexible. The user interface is very good."
"The product's most advantageous feature is platform innovation."
"Scalability-wise, it is a very good solution."
"The solution is fast enough for our workflow automations and has integration capability. It aligns with many use cases in our organization and for others we have planned."
"The product could be improved by making it a production application and enabling the export of apps."
"I have heard from developers that there is documentation missing in the reporting."
"In some cases, PowerApps would have some limitations in terms of the data, the number of transactions, and so on, but for a normal solution, it would be enough."
"As far as dealing with SharePoint, it'll allow you to ha manage up to 2000 rows, however, performance-wise, they're recommending that you just keep it at the default of 500 rows."
"When we talk of integrating with external applications, that's one area where, even today, I had to loop in my code developers. If this area can be streamlined so that my techno-functional consultants, who are on-site, can immediately start working on something without the assistance of developers, that would be ideal."
"Most of my training for what I do has been by watching or learning in the community. There needs to be better training on either one of these."
"The stability of this solution could be better."
"When it comes to PowerApps, debugging can be difficult at times. It would be beneficial to simplify it."
"What I didn't like in the ServiceNow Now Platform is testing, particularly with Visual Studio. It had a bad integration with Visual Studio because you can't compile and run it from there. You have to debug on your own and then find out where the error is through test scripts. The testing component in the ServiceNow Now Platform isn't that great. What I'd like to see in the next version of the ServiceNow Now Platform is an improvement in testing and writing scripts, and if there was a feature to just run it from the modules, then that would be great, instead of finding the error manually and checking where it is."
"The UI and mobile UI need to be improved."
"They should reduce the solution's cost and make it more affordable for buyers."
"The integration towards other ERP systems could be improved."
"The initial setup requires a lot of customization based on the individual company's processes."
"Bug and defect management are not available in ServiceNow."
"It is still difficult to build a set of services in ServiceNow. It can be done, but it is one of the more difficult things to do. If we're talking about scalability, we're talking about the ability to actually build that set of services a little easier."
"ServiceNow Now Platform's technical support needs to improve."
