"ServiceNow is a very powerful tool that can perform a lot of different functions."
"We have installed a physical server for failover. We need to configure cluster on everything. But with VMware, we do not need to cluster. We get automatically seven physical nodes failover. If one fails we have no issues."
"It provides us with improved maintenance cycles."
"All of the features are very suitable for us. It is also a stable solution."
"We find it good in general. Obviously, there are areas of improvement for every capability. As they evolve more, if they keep on adding more intelligence into the capabilities, it will improve. The improvement areas are more integration across the landscape and more intelligence for the overall capability of the solution."
"For healthcare, which is a pretty audited environment, there are no concrete solutions for digital signatures, apart from our license with Adobe, so it requires orchestration."
"Most people are discussing UIs, but I'm a developer. I would say 80-90% of the people would appreciate that, that's easy for them, but from a developer perspective, it's hard for me, because for me it's clunky"
"From an HR standpoint, if users can have a very integrated onboarding or offboarding process between ServiceNow and Workday, then it can give a very good employee experience."
"All the screens are similar. It's the same platform for everything and you need to familiarize yourself with it. In the past, you used to have one screen per application. Now, you have everything integrated into one. Everybody will manage the same screen and they need to navigate into the same screen as the Internet Explorer with a toolbar with the categories and look for the things you want to see or the models you want to use."
"The RPA needs improvement. That's a new area for them that they're just entering into now."
"The solution could improve by being more stable."
