Pros
"It's very flexible."

More Alpha Anywhere Pros →

"The solution's initial setup process is easy.""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.""We have found the service easy to use, although, we have ended up customising a lot of parameters.""It has more extensive features as compared to the other competitors.""It's more about the ease of use of ServiceNow. Plus, everything is there in a single platform. If you need any additional functionality, you just need to enable the plugins without even installing anything on the servers""The most valuable feature is that this is a Cloud solution.""I find the incident management part to be the most valuable. That's how the service desk tracks tickets.""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."

Cons
"It can be slow to develop, and it's repetitive."

More Alpha Anywhere Cons →

"The user interface could be much improved, and the developer tools and sets can be improved greatly, they are lacking.""The pricing structure could be more budget-friendly.""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.""They need to be providing vendors and implementation partners with materials and guidance on implementation.""The Express edition does not allow the option for scripting.""Loads slower than expected, and its user interface needs improvement. Support for this product also needs to improve on their response time.""It's not user-friendly by default, but it can be customized to be customer-friendly.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Prices vary, and they will enter into different contracts with different people."
  • "The pricing is mid-range.We pay only for the subscription."
  • More Alpha Anywhere Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The first impact for the customer is that it is expensive, but do not forget that it is a solution that includes infrastructure; a single cost, easy to justify."
  • "It has a higher cost compared to local/regional solutions."
  • "We know that ServiceNow is not cheap, it's more expensive than other solutions. But we are trying to increase our ability to handle tickets so that the cost per ticket is less."
  • "It's sold as a less expensive solution, but it has to be highly modified. That's where you get into the cost."
  • "ServiceNow pricing is an art, not a science. The deal depends on how commercially savvy you are, which does make it something that is quite difficult to get right. It is most definitely an opportunity area for ServiceNow to improve and have more visibility around pricing of the different products within the platform."
  • "ServiceNow is a leader and its pricing is quite good, quite competitive... Sometimes some plugins are not priced reasonably but, generally, the platform itself, its modules, are priced reasonably."
  • "Isn't pricing always too much? We really do chafe at the ITIL licensing. ITOM is also pretty expensive."
  • "Initially, the licensing model ServiceNow came up with was very good. But now, from a licensing perspective, they are changing their model day by day. It is becoming a bit expensive for customers."
