ServiceNow helps us centralize our processes

4.0 last year

Comments: Our distributed crew was able to get together and focus on a single source of information. Now that all incidences are being recorded in one place, we have more insight into how things are progressing.

Pros:

Thanks to ServiceNow, our processes are much more streamlined. Assisted in creating a streamlined operation. Our remote team's efficiency increased once we established a central hub where everyone could access the same, reliable information.

Cons:

There is some lag time when utilizing the dashboard, but I'm sure this will be addressed in a future update. In addition, I think the report function may use some tweaks.

ServiceNow is very advanced tool but very expensive.

5.0 11 months ago

Pros:

ServiceNow is the leading ITSM tool in the market. It offers a comprehensive range of features and capabilities that can meet any business needs. It is constantly updated with new versions that bring more innovation and value to its customers.

Cons:

ServiceNow is not a cheap option when it comes to ITSM tools. It can be a significant expense for organizations that have limited budgets and need quick results. ServiceNow requires a long implementation process that involves multiple stages and customizations. It also demands a dedicated staff member to maintain and manage the tool effectively.

Great Ticketing Management Software

3.0 4 months ago

Comments: Using ServiceNow is nice and it's fairly organized and clean looking. I use it occasionally to enter tickets and it's pretty easy for me to track the progress. If anything changes, it notifies me via email. I haven't used any advanced tools, like the analytics, but I imagine it's quite handy for supervisors.

Pros:

Lots of options when managing service tickets. This software is flexible enough for IT, HR, and other departments to be grouped into one as long as you are granted the access to see them. The UI for the web app is nice and simple. There are some decent dashboards already built in for you to choose.

Cons:

There are too many options listed in the All menu. Most of them I don't use so I have to favorite certain menus and ignore the rest.

Pros:

The reporting part of Service now is the best, I have used multiple ticketing tools that does not provide any report assistance after. The customization of the tool is also nice, it helps you to create an environment that makes you comfortable.

Cons:

It takes some time to configure to do what you want in the tool, and to link it to other systems.

Great Ticketing Tool

Comments: Over it is a great ticketing tool where a number of reports are easy to create and allows for some customizations.

Pros:

I really liked how it cam integration with other applications and systems. The reports and dashboards really gives good insights to what is going on. It is a brilliant ITSM tool as well as the licensing mechanism.

Cons:

So of the out of box examples do not really match up to any of the organization needs. Integration with risk management could have been simpler to show the mapping of business to technical risks.

Expensive but Powerful

5.0 last year

Pros:

ServiceNow is kind of the Porsche solution... it has a lot of bells and whistles and fantastic features. Intensely configurable, and I really like that. It does however require a lot more programming knowledge for some things. Overall, the out of the box stuff you get is top notch with a lot of features.

Cons:

Higher need for programming experience to get it to do what you want it to do. There's been a LOT of advance, however, in low-code ways to do things which has been very welcome.
