"The most valuable features of ServiceNow Strategic Portfolio Management are the multiple methodology possibilities for projects. It has hybrid, traditional, and Agile capabilities. Additionally, the solution integrates well with other platforms, such as Microsoft Azure."
"The stability is excellent. ServiceNow is one of the leading platforms when it comes to stability."
"The resource manager is useful."
"It's a very complete solution."
"The solution is scalable."
"The feature I find the most valuable is the one that lets you see how much time has been used in processing a ticket. This allows us to better monitor performance."
"The product needs to have more integration capabilities."
"It could improve by being self-organizing: user stories, different hierarchies, and different perspectives. Not just as a single hierarchical structure, but something that can be multidimensional."
"It requires better scalability for the implementation of the whole suite. We do not use it in that fashion, and visibility is sometimes a problem."
"There's a lot of support for Scrum and Agile, but it needs something for the Kanban side."
"The Reporting feature can improve, especially around executive summaries and dependency mapping."
"We would like more meaningful, customizable dashboards."
"I think there needs to be some simplification. The team-level side can be challenging and complicated."
"I'd like the ability to customize reports without having to incur Professional Services, or having to write my own code GitHub and then implement that as a custom report. That's untenable. It's not sustainable."
"A major improvement we would like to see is definitely around agile management."
"The price keeps going up, and to remain competitive, it needs to have a competitive edge. I would like to see more of the latest innovations, in terms of AI, ML, and all of the latest cutting-edge technologies, included in the platform."
"When we import a really big project with a lot of tasks on it, we face some issues with dependencies. The links between tasks are not working very well. There is definitely room for improvement there. Microsoft Project, in my opinion, is the best option for such a use case."
"The configurations are fine, but the user interface could be improved."
"The timing reporting module, and how it's used is a bit difficult to understand. Everything related to project management is quite extensive. It needs to be simplified. At first, our users didn't want to use it, because it seems a bit complex."
"The only issue for us is the pricing. It’s quite high in comparison with the competition."
"The interface is cluttered with a lot of names and areas. It may not be user friendly enough for a first timer."
"The user interface could be more modern."
