We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
Overall, all of the features are very good. The product is scalable. The program is stable and we've had no technical issues so far. It's very easy to use. That's one of the advantages for the business, that you don't need to struggle to configure your website and your app service. Microsoft made sure to make it stable and very easy to configure. | The most valuable feature is that this is a Cloud solution. This solution is a single-storage for our user community to submit help desk tickets. Easy to integrate with third-party applications. 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. HR Case Management and Customer Service Management are two of the key areas which clients are using. Discovery has reduced, on average, the time to build/deploy devices within our environment by one hour. This may not seem like much but it adds up over time. It also reaps additional time savings with its ability to capture changes through subsequent discoveries over the life of the device. 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. 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. |
Cons | |
I am new to the intervention and I find it difficult to find my way around the user interface. I have my own learning tool. However, it could be simpler for new users. The solution is quite expensive. If you need more features, you need to pay for them. I would like to see faster adoption and templates that we can use. Sometimes we face problems, but those are technical problems in Microsoft, bugs or something doesn't work as expected, but that's normal. | Transparency in the pricing model needs to be improved. I do not like the user interface. It's missing monitoring capabilities. For healthcare, which is a pretty audited environment, there are no concrete solutions for digital signatures, apart from our license with Adobe, so it requires orchestration. HR Service Management is one module that needs a lot of improvement because it's a pretty new module. It was introduced in the last two years. It's becoming more mature day by day, but there is a lot of scope for improvement in that module. 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. The standard UI is very restricted. It doesn't look as good, compared to Remedy. Building your own UI requires some additional coding... 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. |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
Azure doesn't cost as much as other services. | The license model is based on a number of fulfillers (active users who play some role within the ServiceNow functionality). Therefore, you can serve as many end-users as you want, without additional costs. 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. Isn't pricing always too much? We really do chafe at the ITIL licensing. ITOM is also pretty expensive. 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. 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. It's sold as a less expensive solution, but it has to be highly modified. That's where you get into the cost. 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. |
