Find out in this report how the two IT Service Management (ITSM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like that you can do all the things with it. You can patch, and you can run the scheduled tasks. You can remote in, upload files, and download files. You can log onto a computer PowerShell, or command prompt, without having to log into RDP. I also like its ease of use."
"I am impressed with the tool's integration with our mail system."
"This is a premier product and it has been around for a long time."
"I find the incident management part to be the most valuable. That's how the service desk tracks tickets."
"In the Service Portal, the widget concept - and the way we have developed our widget - is pretty simple. We can leverage a lot on top of it."
"ServiceNow is an industry leader in multiple areas and provides an excellent ROI."
"There are lots of modules around IT service management such as IT business management and human resource management (HRC)."
"Easy to implement and consolidate different platforms and users with useful functionalities."
"It uses a common base of data and allows different types of records to pull from that same base of data."
"The most valuable feature is that this is a Cloud solution."
"It actually has quite a wide list of modules and processes. Currently, we are implementing project management and Scaled Agile Framework for one of our customers."
"The tool needs to improve its customization of the user interface."
"What I would like to see is a simplified solution that is packaged better, where you can easily implement or turn on the functionality that you need."
"Its reporting is lousy and bad. It is not as good as it should be. There is too much work involved to get what you want. Most times, you have to call them to customize some stuff. I just don't like that part. They need to work on their reporting. They have a way to go."
"The interface can be a bit more intuitive."
"The scalability needs improvement."
"I have a problem with the way the solution's price is calculated."
"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 customer service of the product right now isn't very good. It's an aspect they really need to improve."
"The RPA needs improvement. That's a new area for them that they're just entering into now."
"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."
"The solution could be made cheaper. Machine learning and artificial intelligence should be introduced in the next release."
