"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 easy to use.""It is easily configurable and has a good developer society online, available for any issues from the backend.""ServiceNow is a cloud-based platform, so people won't need to worry about investing on hardware to host it. Being on the cloud, it is available 24x7. It's scalable, stable, and multifeatured, with a straightforward setup and good technical support.""It offers ready-built automation and simpler configuration for workflows.""Creating a ticket is much simpler in this tool. That is one big advantage. Also, the simplicity and ease of use are much better. I've used HPSM and it is very complex in comparison to ServiceNow.""I have found the workflows and integration the most valuable in this solution.""ServiceNow is very easy to set up."

Cons
"The area where we would like to see improvement is in the asset management module.""The solution is cumbersome to use.""Their self-service is not user friendly.""There are a few items that I would like changed or extra features that could be added to our current version of this software, but those are all going to be addressed in a future software update.""Track-It! works great for a mid-size company, but anything over 700 employees, and trying to use Track-It! for any other areas of the business is difficult.""The product’s current version could be easier and straightforward to work with small IT organizations, similar to the older version."

"The customer service of the product right now isn't very good. It's an aspect they really need to improve.""Performance could be improved.""Where it could be improved is Discovery. This may sound odd since I just praised the value of ServiceNow Discovery, but improvements to its automatic detection, the breadth of devices, and the depth of devices covered, as well as keeping up with new technologies, are all essential.""When it comes to reference fields, there are some limitations where you aren't able to use them, like in relationship queries. In Remedy, when you click a menu, you get options directly, whereas here, if you use a reference field, it points you to a different form. So the UI experience totally changes for the end user.""The solution could be made cheaper. Machine learning and artificial intelligence should be introduced in the next release.""Local solutions have lower costs.""The solution could improve by being more stable.""Integration capabilities can improve."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "BMC Track-It!’s price is reasonable compared to other products."
  • More BMC Track-It! 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."
