"It's a very good IT tool for a company that provides IT services. It is very helpful for technicians to work with the tool to see all of the customers in one place and then manage all of the computers in one place."
"It is very scalable."
"The most value we get from this solution is that everything is on a patch cycle."
"It's definitely improved the help-desk servicing, et cetera."
"It allows us to manage all client requests, jobs and invoicing."
"Remote access and detailed monitoring help us support our equipment."
"Scripting and patch management are really important for us. Patch Manager is something that we use a lot, and we would love to have it continually improved. It is one of the most useful features for us for controlling patches and other things for different clients."
"ServiceNow offers a range of ITSM, IT incident management, and PRCPs."
"There are a lot of features within ServiceNow. There are plenty of add-ons that go beyond the typical core helpdesk operations, such as HR facilities, BRM functionality, and various compliance and governance capabilities."
"A workflow automation platform that's reliable, performs well, and has good reporting and integration."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the possibility of the application development cap so that we can digitize workflows."
"The pricing of the product is quite good. It's not too expensive."
"In my experience, ServiceNow's most valuable feature is its flexibility. If you have a DevOps or development team, you can customize it to meet your specific needs. The tool's dashboard categorizes incidents, making managing it much easier."
"Makes ticket information easy to access."
"ServiceNow is very easy to set up."
"Scheduling of automation could be improved and made more simple."
"They always change the GUI to some dumb-down version of tiles which are more "user-friendly", but slows my team down in the end."
"There could be better linkages between ConnectWise Automate and Manage from a ticketing perspective. Automate and Manage each has its own ticketing system. We use the one in Manage, but it'd be nice if they were linked directly to the one in Automate."
"The fixed client for Automate is slow. The web client is not very intuitive."
"The menu doesn't always load properly."
"The wait time for a support ticket to be addressed needs to be reduced. They take a couple of days to get back. It is a little frustrating when we have to wait for a couple of days. A lot of times, the issue is critical for us. If we're reaching out to their support team and submitting a ticket, it is because we need it handled quickly."
"The project management needs improvement and there's a section of the product called configuration that also needs to be improved."
"I have a problem with the reports available on the solution. I don't understand how to work with the reporting functionality. For example, when I want to give a report for a specific machine, ConnectWise doesn't seem to have this as an option. I'm not sure if I'm missing something, or if the reporting functionality is just poorly conceived."
"The level of complexity and the level of discovery are the two areas that can be improved. Its UI needs to evolve. They focus a lot on cool colors and other little things, which don't bring value in terms of functionality. They need to focus less on presentation and more on the functionality within the UI. Its discovery mechanism should be improved. There is a component in ServiceNow that discovers the assets, but it doesn't do an immediate discovery, and there is a lag. If I want to open a ticket for a laptop or an asset, that asset needs to exist within ServiceNow for me to be able to say that I need to have its disk space or memory increased. It is referred to as a CI or configuration item in ServiceNow. Sometimes, ServiceNow doesn't discover these items, and as a result, I cannot open a ticket and tag that system or asset. If a system was introduced to the environment last week and it is still not listed, it becomes a problem. I will either have to wait or manually enter that system or asset. So, if I have a laptop with only 8 GB of memory and I want to request 16 GB of memory, I won't be able to do that in ServiceNow because my system or asset hasn't been discovered yet. Discovery is not immediate, and there is a lag."
"The solution’s user interface could be improved and given a better design."
"The utilization of AI in ServiceNow needs enhancement."
"ServiceNow doesn't cater to the Middle Eastern market."
"I have enjoyed all the features. There is not any feature that I have missed or didn't have."
"The solution should offer better security when it comes to storing data."
"I would like to see a mobile version of ServiceNow."
"Complexities in the organization made the initial deployment complex."
