A stable and scalable solution that has excellent features and is useful for collecting data and building KPIs

  • January 29, 2024
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

I use the solution to collect data to build KPIs. We promote and foster the usage of workflows in the company.

How has it helped my organization?

We use the data to compare and review situations, propose improvements, and promote action items.

What is most valuable?

SPM and ITSM features are the most helpful.

What needs improvement?

The product’s standard user experience is not the best. To make it work, we have to do a lot of customization. The UX could be improved.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for five years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The tool is pretty much stable. We don’t see many bugs in the tool. I rate the stability an eight out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have around 1000 users in our organization. The tool is scalable.

How was the initial setup?

The solution is cloud-based. When we have a new release coming up, we have a few weeks of preparation. We don't have a straightforward test campaign.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I have also used BMC Remedy.

What other advice do I have?

As much as possible, we use the out-of-the-box features. We do very few customizations. We follow the schedule to refresh the versions when they come up. As an end-user, I am not happy with the scalability. We have to wait a long time to buy more capacity. It is not an issue with the tool. Our team must manage it better. ServiceNow is a powerful tool. As long as we have enough users, it works. Overall, I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

Offers various good features including automation, SCMBB, incident management, problem management, change management, VM access management

  • January 22, 2024
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

We use it for HR, IT, finance, and many other processes. A lot is automated with ServiceNow.

What is most valuable?

We use automation, SCMBB, incident management, problem management, change management, VM access management, and more.

What needs improvement?

There is room for improvement in price. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using it for more than five years now. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is highly stable solution. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability is low. There are around a thousand end users using this solution. I used it daily.  It's core to our operations.

How are customer service and support?

We always get good support.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We used an internal, self-coded solution. We needed more features and functions, like CDP and other integrated solutions for broader support.

How was the initial setup?

I would rate my experience with the initial setup a six out of ten, with ten being easy. Not super easy, but not super difficult either.

Overall, deployment took us a few days. It's still ongoing as we integrate with internal systems, but the core setup was quick.

It directly connects to our main database for authorization and asset storage. It's also part of our ERP system and connects to various management systems. We have a lot of systems that connect to ServiceNow.

What about the implementation team?

We always use an integrator. Around five engineers from the integrator. 

Two or three engineers manage it.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, with ten being expensive. 

What other advice do I have?

It's the best for me. I would rate the solution a ten out of ten.

Cost-effective for IT service management and IT operations management

  • January 18, 2024
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

There are multiple use cases associated with ServiceNow. The major use case is IT service management, incident management, and IT operations management. ServiceNow offers GRC and solutions that integrate with other security systems for cybersecurity. I have been involved in both ITOM and ITSM.

What is most valuable?

ServiceNow offers a range of ITSM, IT incident management, and PRCPs. The entire platform makes it an excellent product for users. Its capability to manage end-to-end ITSM is necessary because no other competitor is offering such a comprehensive solution.

What needs improvement?

The utilization of AI in ServiceNow needs enhancement. Their incident management system requires attention. If you examine it closely, there's an extension available in the market for future consideration. ServiceNow is quite advanced in incident management solutions. If ServiceNow aims to improve its incident management capabilities by incorporating AI/ML and other general components, it would advance the product and enhance its use cases, ultimately boosting productivity. This would lead to improved overall value for enterprise customers.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using ServiceNow for eight to ten years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

ServiceNow is a very stable product. I have heard a couple of integration issues in some places.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

ServiceNow can be easily scalable. However, scaling down may pose a problem because, if someone has purchased a certain quantity of subscription-based licenses, they cannot be reduced. You have to complete the term of those licenses whether you're scaling down or up.

We cater the solution to enterprise customers.

How are customer service and support?

Our delivery team used to interact with ServiceNow, and they used to receive support from them. They are responsive. Most of the time, issues are resolved. They ensure a smooth delivery process and quick response. In certain complicated situations, such as new integrations where ServiceNow is not supported, there is a lot of email exchanges.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

ServiceNow offers a very comprehensive tool that covers end-to-end IT services and IT operations management. This is where enterprise customers seek an end-to-end solution. ServiceNow is being adopted by numerous customers. I have experience with BMC Solutions.

BMC also provides an IT service management platform called BMC Remedy. Remedy is less comprehensive and user-friendly compared to ServiceNow. I've encountered support and configuration issues with BMC Remedy.

How was the initial setup?

There is a large pool of trained workforce available for ServiceNow. Considering their market share, which exceeds 60%, there are ample skilled resources in the market. ServiceNow technology has been established. I haven't encountered challenges with ServiceNow projects in terms of implementation or configuration wherever I've worked. However, the deployment can vary depending on the company and partner, and how they've structured their practice teams and training resources.

If it's a Greenfield project, then a new deployment is necessary. For enterprise customers, integration becomes the key focus. ServiceNow offers a substantial integration portfolio to address these needs.

What was our ROI?

Return on investment is good because once the overall comprehensive solution is deployed, it offers a lot of ROI to the end customers. If a customer opts for a point solution to manage their ITSM and adopts different technologies to integrate, it is going to cost them, and then it will add up to their complexity.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The solution is expensive compared to other tools but holds value for money.

What other advice do I have?

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Streamlines task tracking, enhances communication transparency, and facilitates efficient issue resolution, making it a valuable tool for organizational workflow management

  • January 17, 2024
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

When we need to request a task from another team at my client's organization, we typically submit a request in ServiceNow. We provide all the necessary details through the ServiceNow platform, and any communication related to the request is documented in the form of comments. This approach ensures transparency by recording what was requested, actions taken by the assigned person, and the time taken to resolve the request. Using ServiceNow, we can easily track the progress of tasks, review the history of actions, and assess the workload of a specific individual over a given period, be it a week or a month.

What is most valuable?

It proves invaluable in tracking significant incidents within your work environment. It facilitates the monitoring of major incidents and provides insights into the effort expended to resolve each incident. This capability adds substantial value by allowing a comprehensive understanding of the incident resolution process and the associated resource allocation.

What needs improvement?

It should include information on navigating various user interfaces for creating diverse requests directed to different teams. Enhancing usability involves providing easy access to interfaces tailored for different types of requests across teams.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with it for two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is proven to be reliable; we have not encountered any issues with it.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have nearly one hundred to one hundred fifty users.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is relatively straightforward.

What other advice do I have?

It's effective, indeed. If you aim to monitor the number of issues you're handling and wish to understand the effort required to resolve them, this serves as an excellent ticketing tool. Overall, I would rate it eight out of ten.

What other advice do I have?

Overall, I rate ServiceNow an eight out of ten.

Easy-to-maintain platform with a user-friendly interface

  • January 10, 2024
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

The main use case of the product involves providing solutions for customers aiming at enhancing their overall business efficiency and effectiveness in managing IT services and operations.

What is most valuable?

ServiceNow is easy to use and has a user-friendly interface. It offers broad workflow functionality, including IT, HR, Accounting, and Legal departments. The users can build new business workflows with low code.

What needs improvement?

The platform price needs improvement. System deployment and automation capabilities could be within the platform, similar to competitors like Ivanti and BMC. At present, we have to rely on third-party products for the same.

I have been using ServiceNow's latest version.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate the product's stability a ten out of ten.

The technical support team is helpful and responsive.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We are working with Ivanti and BMC Helix.

How was the initial setup?

The complexity of the initial setup can vary based on the size and complexity of the organization implementing it. Including proof of concept, may take around three months or more for large companies and enterprises working in the IT department. The duration can depend on the specific modules being implemented. Setting up a data center and different management processes for seamless operations is crucial. It takes another hour or a week to complete.

We have a dedicated team to maintain the product. The team's strength depends on the specific budget and the number of requests and incidents. At the moment, we have two administrators working on deployment and maintenance.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The product cost is higher than that of other vendors. It depends on the specific requirements. It is suitable for large enterprises.

I rate the pricing a two out of ten.

What other advice do I have?

I rate ServiceNow an eight out of ten. It is a powerful platform and provides essential functionality for different workflows. It is easy to maintain as well.

Notifications are present within the virtual agent chatbot, integrated with third-party tools

  • January 10, 2024
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is most valuable?

Microsoft Teams integration is available. Notifications are present within the virtual agent chatbot, integrated with third-party tools. All the portal features have been enabled, including the virtual agent installation.

What needs improvement?

There is a concern about the integration point of view, particularly the virtual agent. Currently, we are working on integration with Teams and the virtual agent. Now, the chatbot and portal are available. A pop-up message shows the redactions button if you click on anything in the chatbot conversations. This redirects to the portal. It should open, and the virtual agent should be integrated that way.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using ServiceNow as a partner for two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

There are some bugs in the solution.

I rate the solution’s stability an eight out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is slow in performance level.

How are customer service and support?

Technical support is good.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is simple. It takes only eight hours for each resource because of integration and conversation flow.

What other advice do I have?

From a developer's perspective, understanding the pricing of ServiceNow is crucial. Currently, pricing details are mainly available for account-related matters. However, if developers also have access to this information, it would greatly benefit them.

Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

  • January 08, 2024

The most valuable features of the solution are the ease of use and the sensor for ticketing systems. In terms of the reports generated out of the metrics, specifically operational metrics, along with the dashboard, are very good in ServiceNow.

What needs improvement?

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.

It's a straightforward and effective approach that minimizes the need for extensive explanations. It streamlines business processes, enhances efficiency, and fosters collaboration through its comprehensive platform, offering notable advantages in IT service management, automation, and customizable applications.

It should enhance its offerings by providing the chance to obtain course certifications at an affordable fee. The functionality of the mobile application is still not entirely clear or optimized. The UI of the mobile application needs improvement.
