Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Microsoft, ServiceNow and others in Server Monitoring."It's a good solution. It covers all aspects of monitoring purposes."
"The most valuable feature of Opsview is the ability to clone the services when you're monitoring something out of the test setup."

"I am satisfied with the overall product since it works well…It is a stable solution."
"We use this solution for internal monitoring our own cloud platform because we are a public cloud provider. We also use it for monitoring purposes on behalf of our clients."
"It allows us to filter the data, create graphs, and get detailed reports."
"This solution is a single-storage for our user community to submit help desk tickets."
"The thing that I like most about it is the easy integration with the CMDB. I'm able to look at the CMDB for applications and develop my assessments and attestations based on the application and point them at that application owner. So, I can really automate the whole thing."
"Will give us better control over asset management and technical debt once we can centralize all contract information."
"I like that it's always up and running."
"ServiceNow is very easy to set up."
"I have found that sorting and grouping functions are particularly useful."

"HR Service Management is one module that needs a lot of improvement because it's a pretty new module. It was introduced in the last two years. It's becoming more mature day by day, but there is a lot of scope for improvement in that module."
"Complexities in the organization made the initial deployment complex."
"The technical support SLA can be improved because sometimes they take a long time to answer our queries."
"Change Management is the area I have found that this tool can be improved because there are so many fields which are missing, such as urgency of the customer request and how the priority is defined. These are some of the areas in which I found that BMC Remedy is much better than ServiceNow."
"It's not very secure, it's web-based, and I prefer Remedy. Both the security and the web interface could be improved."
"The standard UI is very restricted. It doesn't look as good, compared to Remedy. Building your own UI requires some additional coding..."
