We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I think ServiceNow is highly stable. These kinds of tools are used in a big company, and I haven't seen any issues in terms of the core platform.""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.""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.""The most valuable feature is the flexibility of development for customization.""It's a very low-code platform, and it's simple. The user experience is also really good.""What I like the most is the functionality, it's features are rich, and there is a high degree of compliance with IT standards.""Identifies better ways to license software or eliminate unused software to save money.""What I like the most is that it's a common service data model and the fact that everything is available on one platform."

More ServiceNow Pros →

"The solution is useful for cloud transparency and visibility in reports and dashboards that I have generated, especially the pre-populated dashboards.""This solution is fast and very easy to understand, even if you are not a technician.""We are able to create an internal price of the product that we can then sell to clients. We get the cost plan at a good discount and then resell it with a mark up to our enterprise-level clients. This flexibility in pricing is one of the solution's best features.""We use dashboards quite heavily, but one of the features that have really stood out is some of the policies we've created to alert us of particular situations.""It's stable. For report presentation, it's been fast.""The pricing is rather competitive right now.""The product is easy to use in terms of monitoring all the environments. It works for multiple clouds.""The solution is good for cloud cost management."

Cons
"I would like to see more functionality in terms of custom workflows, not impacting the overall platform health.""Local solutions have lower costs.""The solution could improve by making the CMDB integrate with a CI better to allow it to be seen across multiple platforms.""There are a few things that it needs to improve, like automation of most things out-of-the-box. For example, when it comes to cloud management, we are still going with manual intervention. Instead of that, if we had an out-of-the-box feature available, that would be great.""We find it good in general. Obviously, there are areas of improvement for every capability. As they evolve more, if they keep on adding more intelligence into the capabilities, it will improve. The improvement areas are more integration across the landscape and more intelligence for the overall capability of the solution.""The ability to embed help information onto the screens.""The discovery of assets could be improved; right now they only allow for one domain.""They need to be providing vendors and implementation partners with materials and guidance on implementation."

More ServiceNow Cons →

"The performance and accuracy of Cloud Health need to be improved.""The export features regarding CSV files and specifically around identifying savings plans have room for improvement, as well as the drill-down features for reservation utilization.""The Perspectives feature could be better.""I would like to see better integration from CloudHealth to create easier setup and implementation.""It would be helpful to have a mobile version or a tablet version, especially for people who are outside of the office.""They should provide information or tools to tune the cloud resources according to the environment size.""CloudHealth needs to start building out Turbonomics-types of features that help the customers who are using CloudHealth really understand everything down to the server level, the virtual machine level.""If you are working with the OS you need help and other connectors to get more information."

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."
  • More ServiceNow Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The licensing fees depend on how big the company is. If you are a larger company then you have a better contract with a better price. The price is different for a small company."
  • "CloudHealth has a subscription-based model."
  • "The pricing is competitive and while other products are good they are considerably more expensive."
  • "I give the cost of the solution an eight out of ten."
  • "There could be flexibility in pricing for the product."
