Find out what your peers are saying about ServiceNow, BMC, Freshworks and others in IT Asset Management."The solution is stable, scalable and easy to use."
"It's a straightforward and effective approach that minimizes the need for extensive explanations."
"I think the technical support is pretty good. They can be a little bit slow sometimes, but overall I think they're good."
"It gave us professionalized, faster incident turn around times. Improved quality of information shared with our customers. Over time we build an extensive knowledge base that assists in both self-service as in services provided by the servicedesk when handling incidents."
"I have found many features that are important and that are easier when compared to Remedy; for example, the Scripted REST APIs and the Flow Designer... The Client scripts are simpler when you compare with Remedy."
"The flow designer feature of ServiceNow has had the biggest impact on our productivity because it has helped me reduce manual efforts by creating automation and robotics."
"Data in reports and dashboards are easily accessible."
"Very good incident management, chain management and problem management features."
"Symantec Asset Management Suite has better features than some of its competitors, such as the Microsoft Configuration Manager."
"When we are using the solution on mobile phones on their networks the performance is reduced with a delay of approximately 8 seconds. There is less delay using the desktop computers connected to the WiFi or to the network directly."
"The reporting, which also includes dashboards, needs to be improved, and there should also be the ability to turn on and off portions of Project Management. Currently, as soon as you install the new version, you've got to go back there and make all the tweaks. There should be just a configuration file that goes to the new version. The Project Management module does not leverage the knowledge base the way it should, and there is no built-in ability to get to the articles. Resource management should be easier. It would be amazing if they can make resource management a little bit more graphical. There are other solutions that I've seen where resource management was a more visual experience."
"If you have advanced questions, technical support often doesn't know the answer."
"The high price is a huge barrier in Portugal."
"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."
"We don't have a huge amount of password reset requests, but the minimum package of resets that ServiceNow offers is much more than we need."
"It should have more artificial intelligence for business and work capabilities. The community is not so active. There must be initiatives to make the community talk more and share more information."
"It's not very secure, it's web-based, and I prefer Remedy. Both the security and the web interface could be improved."
"The solution has not been updated in a while and parts appear to be outdated, such as the pictures. It is a reactive product in terms of development and features. They do not follow the market trends or have many innovations."
