Daily tracking has boosted team efficiency and simplifies incident ownership and resolution

  • April 08, 2026
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

My main use case for ServiceNow is whenever my work starts, we have a scrum call, and in that scrum call, we generally open the ServiceNow dashboard to check the number of incidents and number of PRBs that are present. We use ServiceNow to track incidents or resolve most of the tickets that were raised by the user and find out the root cause and provide proper analysis. If anything requires a code change, we let the user know and convert that to a PRB and work on it while applying a patch on it.

ServiceNow helps me track and resolve incidents effectively. For instance, recently, we received a ticket where a person was creating an online claim through an online claim submission portal, but when he was creating it, he did not give an appraisal name, even though an appraisal role was created when that claim was created. That is not a procedural logic that we had written. The user raised an incident stating that the logic was created even though he did not mention the appraisal name. When we checked our integration flow, I found out that it was flowing through Evas' integration flow where if collision coverage was not there, then Evas' integration flow would automatically assign an appraisal name. If an appraisal name is there, then an appraisal is getting created. There is no condition to stop. I told this to the user and then the user agreed and we closed the ticket. ServiceNow allows us to talk with the user, and if anything comes up, we reach out to him via Teams or drop a mail or drop a message in ServiceNow while tagging his name.

There are many things that ServiceNow helps us with. When the morning scrum call starts for us, we check the status of that incident, whether it is assigned or it is on hold waiting for the user or on hold waiting for change, depending on the requirement, and decide what and who should handle which incident so that we can reduce the incident count by the end of the day. I have covered everything that we use ServiceNow for in my main use case and how ServiceNow fits into my daily workflow.

What is most valuable?

The best feature ServiceNow offers is knowing the status of the incident because whenever we do not really need to go inside that incident and check the messages to identify where we are if we are stopping the work midway and starting that work on that incident on the next day. Knowing the status of that incident is really good. Another interesting feature is if an incident is resolved and we close the ticket, it moves away from our dashboard, which allows the user to reopen the ticket if they think that it is not correct and they want to check more into it. Reopening is what I find very helpful for the users so that they do not have to create new incidents or new tickets; they could just continue with the existing ones. It saves us a lot of time just looking at the dashboard.

The dashboard helps me save time because when we have any call or meeting, most of the delivery leads open up our dashboards and check how many incidents are there, give us target incidents, and make sure that if it is more than the target incident, they ask the reason. Finding out the root cause is very easy because if there are multiple incidents with the same cause, we close the incidents and track them under the parent incident. ServiceNow helps us, and it helps the leads as well to check the status of an employee, such as if every team member is working properly or not because we assign it on their name. We know who is working on which incident today and how many incidents a person has closed. It saves us a lot of time when we are doing this.

Since using ServiceNow, our team efficiency and productivity have increased a lot because we have an evening production support standup call where we tell how many incidents each person has solved, which makes it very easy for the leads to check what the person has done throughout the day in my team. Our efficiency has increased.

On average, if we get fifteen or twenty incidents today and we have four team members, we divide it among ourselves and assign each incident to our name. As soon as it is assigned, the workflow starts, and each person works on their individual task rather than working on another. Without ServiceNow, it might be that two developers are working on the same incident, but they might not know that the other person is working. ServiceNow helps us by assigning to that particular developer's name, so that conflicts do not happen between team members. We save a lot of time by making the developers focus on their related tasks and incidents.

What needs improvement?

I wish ServiceNow already provides us with a visualization format, but that visualization format is not that well developed; its display quality is a little less compared to what its competitors offer in the market, and the pricing and setup cost are also a little expensive compared to its competitors in the market. I wish it was a little cheaper.

I wish that when the incident is resolved, and if the user does not know how to reopen the incident, whenever they try to message in that closed incident, we would not know because that would have moved from our dashboard. I wish there is some kind of feature where it would ask the user if they want to type a comment in that closed incident. It should ask whether they want to reopen or not. That pop-up feature would be really good because it helps the closed incident to reopen and come back to us rather than them creating another incident.

Everything is really good, but I believe ServiceNow should improve the pricing. If they are costing that much, they should not have any server crashes because we occasionally face server kind of issues when we are moving from one environment to another. Server crashes are expected, but we face server crashes, and the price itself is a little high.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using ServiceNow for over a year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I occasionally face server downtime issues where I cannot open the dashboard itself, so we often contact customer support.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

ServiceNow is very scalable because whenever we get an influx in the number of incidents, it takes it in properly and we are able to sort out. It is able to take in most of the input from the user, so ServiceNow is scalable based on our growing demands.

How are customer service and support?

The customer support from ServiceNow is helpful and responsive; we reach out to customer support often many times, and they are pretty responsive. They even showed us the documentation that they have initially provided so that any of the minor issues that we face could be solved instead of always calling them.

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

I did not previously use a different solution before ServiceNow; from the start, we were using ServiceNow itself, so we did not really use any other product.

How was the initial setup?

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that everything was pretty much smooth because my manager has another management team where they deal with the pricing and licensing, setup costs, and everything. Everything was pretty smooth; we never really faced any sort of issues apart from it being expensive.

What was our ROI?

ServiceNow offers a great return on investment because it saves us a lot of time and increases the efficiency of team members to complete their tickets and work on the PRBs to solve the root cause. Additionally, we can also identify employee activity from ServiceNow, depending on how many incidents they are trying to solve, which saves a lot of time.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Before choosing ServiceNow, my team did not evaluate other options because we knew that this was a good product and it was best in the field, so we proceeded directly with it instead of wasting time searching for it. We went through proper reviews based on other projects' perspectives and moved ahead with this.

What other advice do I have?

My advice to others looking into using ServiceNow is that if a project or if a project member or any person is trying to solve user issues, you should go with ServiceNow because it is an interactive dashboard that a user can understand easily. It also provides proper, meaningful visualizations so that you would know the status of many incidents, how far in the past month, and how many you resolved. This is the best tool that is in the market.

ServiceNow is really good, and while it might be expensive, it is very beginner-friendly as well because even a new joiner or a fresher could easily understand what is going on by just opening the incident and reading the comments. I find its flexible features such as work notes and comments intriguing because work notes are only visible to developers, while comments are visible to users as well. There are many flexible features, and this is a really good product. I would rate this product an eight out of ten.

Structured workflows have improved SLA compliance and now support prioritized incident handling

  • April 03, 2026
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

I use ServiceNow to manage incident management, change management, enhancements or development needs, and service request management from business users. I use ServiceNow to manage all incidents, change requests, and service requests to check whether we are performing activities without escalations, acknowledging, assigning tickets, and working tickets according to the priority assigned by business users so that there will be very little chance of any misses in reported issues and to complete tasks within the provided SLAs.

We mostly use ServiceNow for user access requests, approval of workflows, and creating reporting dashboards. One of my recent activities involved automating the process of incident creation in ServiceNow for every job failure received from Control-M. When a job is an important job related to a priority one job, the system automatically creates an incident in ServiceNow. I worked on a job failure related to an audit ID issue. ODS jobs run multiple times a day in our project. For every ODS job triggered, a unique audit ID is created in the audit table. Once the job is completed and its workflow is finished, the audit ID needs to be closed. However, in some cases, due to network issues or server integration issues, the audit ID cannot be closed after the job is completed. If an audit ID is not closed from the previous instance, the next instance automatically fails. An incident was created for me to work on this audit ID issue and automate the process. I used ChatGPT for assistance and created a pipeline in SnapLogic that connects to the audit table to check whether all audit IDs are closed. This pipeline runs multiple times daily to check audit ID status. If any audit ID is not closed, it automatically triggers a mail alert so I can close the audit ID manually. The Control-M team created this incident to check on the failure, and later a business user also reported that ODS jobs were failing more frequently due to this audit ID issue. I worked on that and automated the mail integration part from SnapLogic. I have monitored all metrics and SLA resolution metrics while updating work notes daily to inform the user of progress and closing the incident before the SLA is completed after taking confirmation from the user so that there will be no escalations in our project.

For my day-to-day work, I use ServiceNow for incident management, change management, and service request management. My use cases are mostly job failure-related incidents, user access requests, or workflow-related enhancements for service requests for Looker dashboards, Essbase, or free form reporting tools.

What is most valuable?

One feature I appreciate about ServiceNow is the SLA notification system. If there are any SLAs that have not yet been met and are completed, for example in our project, when the SLA reaches 60%, I automatically receive an email from ServiceNow indicating that the SLA of a particular incident is at 60%. This allows me to put the incident on hold by taking confirmation from the user or work on the incident as soon as possible to resolve it before any escalation occurs. In this way, there are no issues with the business users in our project. I appreciate how ServiceNow has automated the process of notifying users if SLAs are not met. Additionally, the user interface is very easy to use. If someone is using ServiceNow for the first time, by viewing an incident, they can understand what the incident is, which team it is related to, why the incident was created, the priority, the impact it is creating, and the description. By reading the description and short description, someone can easily understand what type of incident it is. By going through work notes and resolution notes, we can easily understand the current progress. If an incident was resolved one year ago and the same incident is happening now, but the person who resolved it previously has left the team, we can easily go through that incident's work notes and work on the same conditions to resolve the current issue. The history of incidents stored by ServiceNow is something I value.

The SLA integration is particularly valuable. Once any incident or change management meets its SLA and reaches 60%, I receive an email notifying me that the task has been in a waiting period for more than 60% of the time. I then work on that priority to ensure there are no escalations. In this way, ServiceNow helps me manage my tasks based on the priority and impact each incident is having, allowing me to work on tasks in the appropriate order so that it will not impact any reporting or analysis being done by business users. The interface is very user-friendly, and any person with minimal knowledge and no technical background can use ServiceNow.

Without ServiceNow integration into our queue, we might miss some emails. There would be numerous emails from business users, and we would not know the priority of what items to work on immediately and what items we can work on later. Priority-wise checklists could not be maintained properly, and SLAs would not be defined for each incident, which would sometimes result in escalations from business users. With ServiceNow, all incidents, the time we spend on each incident, and the time we take to update notes and resolve incidents are tracked. We can update work notes in ServiceNow so that users can see the current progress. In this way, ServiceNow helps our team.

Productivity has increased since integrating ServiceNow because SLAs have been met in almost 99% of cases. In one or two incidents, the SLA has gone into escalations, but 99% of the time, the SLA has been met, due to which business users have a positive review of our work. Resources cannot be misused, and they are tracking how much time we spend on each incident. I believe that because of ServiceNow integration, the tracking and working on incidents because of the defined SLAs have enabled us to work effectively.

What needs improvement?

I think the licensing and pricing of ServiceNow is quite expensive compared to other tools. For large organizations, it is acceptable, but specifically for small and medium organizations to track incidents or change requests, ServiceNow is quite expensive. Sometimes performance can be slow when workflows and integrations are configured for complex tasks. For advanced customizations or advanced features which we rarely use, the documentation is not up to standard. The documentation needs to be improved for advanced customization features. However, the platform is stable overall and the features are quite good.

The user experience and performance concerns I mentioned are areas I want to be improved. When many workflows and interactions are configured, performance is slow. For the features it is providing, it is quite expensive. If these performance features are improved, we can easily pay that price and get the return on investment.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using ServiceNow for the past one year.

How are customer service and support?

Recently, I wanted to add a new DL to our ServiceNow queue and reached out to customer support. Within a few hours, they contacted us back and deployed the new DL and added new members so that incidents could be assigned to them. I have already mentioned the SLA emails we receive when SLAs are reaching 60%. Customer support has helped us with these two things recently. I think the customer support is very good for ServiceNow. The documentation part is easy for simpler tasks, but for some complex features, the documentation needs to be updated properly.

What other advice do I have?

ServiceNow is mostly user-friendly, and any person with no technical background can go through the basic features of ServiceNow. I would request that anyone using the tool go through the SLAs of each incident daily and update work notes daily so there would not be any escalations. Work on items based on the priority and impact they are creating, and go through the description and short description very carefully before starting work on an incident. Once going through the documentation, anyone can easily understand ServiceNow. I would rate this product an eight out of ten.

Incident management has become streamlined and now reduces MTTR through reusable root cause data

  • January 12, 2026
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

The main use case of ServiceNow in my organization is incident management. Whenever we have any kind of production incident, we manage the lifecycle of that incident through ServiceNow. We create incidents and sometimes create problem records if it is a recurring issue. We handle all follow-ups and updates through this particular incident, so the entire incident lifecycle happens through ServiceNow.

ServiceNow is used for incident management and for creating problem records. It has different integrations with other tools, such as PagerDuty, so we can perform automations easily with ServiceNow.

What is most valuable?

The best feature from ServiceNow is the incident management. It is very easy to create and manage incidents, assigning them to a responsible team, and managing the entire lifecycle through root cause analysis and remediation with resolution notes. These features are very helpful.

Resolution notes and root cause analysis are handled through the incidents created in ServiceNow. It is easy to create a very good dataset for our references. Whenever we have an incident, we can refer to past resolution notes and root cause analysis to identify similar issues, and in that way we can quickly identify the root cause and remediate the issue.

It reduces the MTTR and helps us to meet the SLA and SLOs of all kinds of service level objectives and agreements. The MTTR has been reduced at least by five percent each quarter, which we can easily track through ServiceNow.

By using ServiceNow, there are fewer employees needed in the areas of incident management. It has saved a lot of time in terms of the MTTR being reduced compared to past years, so it is time-saving as well as employee-saving.

What needs improvement?

One area of improvement is the user interface. Sometimes there are some glitches experienced in the UI that should be fixed and will improve a lot from a user experience point of view.

Apart from the user interface glitches, any kind of AI integrations would help incident managers to manage incidents and problem tickets in an easier way. I would appreciate some automations that will do repetitive tasks, as that would be a great feature.

My priority points for improvement are the UI glitches and modern AI technology integrations for faster incident management.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using ServiceNow for the last two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

ServiceNow is ninety-five percent stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It handles everything well in terms of scalability.

How are customer service and support?

We never interacted with ServiceNow customer service as we have an internal team to handle issues. Whenever we have issues, we directly contact the internal team.

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

This is the first solution I have been using for incident management and production issues. I never used any tool before.

How was the initial setup?

We never evaluated any other options. ServiceNow is the enterprise standard solution for incident management in our organization, and it was chosen when we started this project.

What other advice do I have?

ServiceNow is one of the best tools in the industry for production support people, for incident and production ticket management. It is also a very good tool for any kind of change records and production deployments. The voice interaction feature is a very good idea, and I really appreciated it. I would rate this product a nine out of ten.

Have reduced L1 dependency and improved incident resolution through AI-powered automation

  • October 23, 2025
  • Review from a verified AWS customer

What is our primary use case?

Our main use cases for ServiceNow are for our monitoring systems and service desk tool.

What is most valuable?

The features of ServiceNow that I find most useful and effective are for Infosec purposes, infrastructure, and security monitoring purposes. We are also using it for the service help desk.

I am using ServiceNow Incident Management capabilities. We are using it for incident management, problem management, and change management.

ServiceNow helps to improve IT incident handling in a more comprehensive way. The latest version provides extensive information, and they have introduced AI which allows us to program it in such a way that our L1 support can be eliminated. That is what we are currently working on. It gives very comprehensive details. If it is a repetitive incident or a new incident which has already been remediated by somebody else, that is what we are building the AI element or AI agent to handle.

What needs improvement?

To make ServiceNow better, they should reduce their pricing, especially because there's a lot of competition. Many customers have moved to ManageEngine because they cannot afford the license cost.

The price should be reduced by at least 40%.

The setup of ServiceNow is sometimes complex when new updates or versions are released. When they introduce something new, they should provide training to understand the new features and their functionality. We sometimes get stuck and have to call them to learn about the changes in the latest version. They should communicate the changes made from older versions to new versions, which features are not available, which features have changed, and how to implement them. If the communication part was handled properly, it would benefit us.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with ServiceNow for almost ten years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I have not faced any stability problems with ServiceNow.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

ServiceNow is definitely scalable.

How are customer service and support?

We have not faced many challenges or issues with ServiceNow because we've been working with them for a long time. Whenever we have had issues, they have provided good support, and those issues have never recurred. In the last one or two years, we've not had any major incidences or problems with ServiceNow. We did have some security issues where certain security aspects were not addressed, but they were able to resolve them permanently for us.

I would rate the support from ServiceNow at 8.5 to nine.

How was the initial setup?

The setup of ServiceNow is sometimes complex when new updates or versions are released.

What was our ROI?

Many of our customers have seen ROI with ServiceNow despite the cost; some have taken three years, while others have taken five years. From when I started working ten years ago, some realized ROI in three years, while others realized it in five years.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Many customers have moved to ManageEngine because they cannot afford the license cost.

What other advice do I have?

ServiceNow is a very comprehensive system that is scalable, stable, and easy to configure. With the AI features that are coming in, it's much better and easier to function. I recommend ServiceNow to those who are looking at automation, want to reduce L1 support, or are looking for ROI within one to two years.

I rate ServiceNow 8.5 out of 10.

Innovative features streamline IT management and decision-making processes

  • June 05, 2025
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

One of the main use cases for ServiceNow is implementing the complete ITSM module from scratch, which includes Incident Management and Change Management, ensuring that the CMDB is right, coming from Device42 or self-service discovery, and also includes the employee center, which is the end-user interface for ServiceNow.

Device42 is something that we integrated with ServiceNow, and the ServiceNow Discovery is something that we're currently doing.

What is most valuable?

One of the most powerful or useful features of ServiceNow is the AI features announced in the Now in Knowledge '25, specifically AIOps for ITOMS, which implements solutions for the infrastructure teams.

I have definitely seen a positive impact of ServiceNow on our company and customer processes, including time savings and money savings.

What needs improvement?

I don't have anything on top of my mind regarding improvements that could be made in ServiceNow, but AI features are indeed a step forward.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with ServiceNow for almost 8 years.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

I have no complaints regarding stability, scalability, or deployment issues in ServiceNow; everything is perfect.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I have no complaints regarding stability, scalability, or deployment issues in ServiceNow; everything is perfect.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I have no complaints regarding stability, scalability, or deployment issues in ServiceNow; everything is perfect.

How are customer service and support?

My experience with technical support of ServiceNow is that they are good, but they could be better.

Time to respond from support could definitely be better, as the global support timing sometimes causes delays in interactions.

What was our ROI?

I'm comparing the save in man hours, but determining how much it can save is a difficult exercise.

Manually, there are huge numbers that come up because these integrated tools help organizations make the right decisions with all the information in one place, while manual methods lack visibility.

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

The cost effectiveness of ServiceNow depends upon the organization size, as larger organizations might find more value, and while there are other tools in the market, comparatively, ServiceNow is more advanced and highly effective when it comes to ITSM, although it does come with a price.

What other advice do I have?

The clients that I work with for ServiceNow are typically enterprise level businesses, which includes engineering companies and manufacturing companies.

I would rate the support of ServiceNow an eight on a scale from 1 to 10.

I would rate ServiceNow a 9 on a scale from 1 to 10.

Enables effective incident management and seamless workflow automation with valuable mobile accessibility

  • May 22, 2025
  • Review from a verified AWS customer

What is our primary use case?

I use ServiceNow for everything from ticket management to demand and more in my daily work.

As I manage the automation COE team, I've found that getting incident reports and handling demands from different markets is quite useful with ServiceNow. The dashboard helps us track data effectively and see the outcomes, making it very valuable. Although I'm not a heavy user of ServiceNow, I find the delivery for the COE team to be really good compared to previous tools I've experienced.

What is most valuable?

The features of ServiceNow that I find the most useful include the impressive handling of incident reporting requests, which go into the cab with types, priority types, and the SLA that we can set. The mobile client is also really good, allowing everyone to view demands, requests, and incidents through the mobile app, which has a great UI and user experience.

Overall, apart from not using it extensively in terms of API, as an end user, the demands, requests, service catalog, and incident reporting are much better compared to what we were using earlier.

What needs improvement?

I haven't thought deeply about improvements for ServiceNow or what might be missing right now.

There are so many modules and features in ServiceNow that I haven't explored them all, so it's hard to say what might be missing or should be improved.

I suggest making the cost more affordable for smaller companies.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with ServiceNow for about the last three or four years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I haven't faced any issues with stability; I've rarely seen any downtime.

Downtime is something I've experienced very little.

I haven't faced many problems or challenges with ServiceNow; I haven't seen any downtime, except for scheduled maintenance.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Scaling ServiceNow is easy since it's on cloud, so there are no issues.

How are customer service and support?

I have not contacted ServiceNow support personally, but my team has a dedicated team that reaches out when necessary.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

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

Earlier we were using Cherwell for IT service management, and now we use ServiceNow.

How was the initial setup?

It's easy to set up ServiceNow; they have guides and everything.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

It's a great tool that I've recommended to startups here in Malaysia. It may be expensive for small companies, but for big companies, I think it's good. If there's a lighter version of ServiceNow that could be more affordable for smaller companies, that would be beneficial.

What other advice do I have?

Within my company, I haven't seen AI functionality being used, but there's knowledge sharing happening and it's in process for assessment. We will get those AI capabilities into ServiceNow in the near future, but currently, it's not enabled.

I'm just using ServiceNow as an end user, and I have not utilized API for integration or anything.

The performance and customization areas are quite good; I have no issues there.

I would rate ServiceNow nine out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Empower easy resolution of tasks with intuitive options and detailed ticket tracking

  • May 19, 2025
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

I am currently working in a previous organization as a second line support engineer, and while I am working there, I update my regular activities and support details in ServiceNow, so you can ask me regarding that without any problems.

My relationship with ServiceNow is as a user who creates requests regarding issues such as machines not properly connected to the internet or printers not working, and I have access based on the support profile.

I use ServiceNow to investigate issues, update my findings, and fix the issue directly, or if any on-site intervention is required, I forward it to my next level or escalation. For day-to-day activities, such as rebooting servers, we want to get a change request approved before proceeding after business hours or on holidays, and we keep the ServiceNow ticket in my queue, updating our findings with screenshots and details before closing the tickets.

What is most valuable?

The features of ServiceNow that I find most valuable include its ability to easily access ticket details if you know the ticket number, monitor the timeline of when the ticket was created, and see the current status, which makes ServiceNow the best tool I have ever used.

The integration capabilities of ServiceNow allow us to enhance our existing environment easily, so I rate it as a nine.

The return on investment from ServiceNow may be around 8.5, indicating time-saving benefits or fewer people needed to operate with this solution.

What needs improvement?

While ServiceNow has many options, the number of options can sometimes be confusing regarding where to click or how things work, as it is based on configuration provided by the administrator.

The initial setup of ServiceNow was easy for me, and I can easily access the knowledge base, pass tickets to another team through internal notes, and each individual will get a personal email when a ticket is placed into their queue, although sometimes the numerous options can be confusing.

For how long have I used the solution?

My experience of working with ServiceNow is approximately one year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate the stability of ServiceNow as a nine on a scale of one to ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I rate the scalability of ServiceNow as an eight on a scale of one to ten.

I might be unsure about how many users are using ServiceNow in my organization, but it could be around 500.

How are customer service and support?

I rate the technical support of ServiceNow as a nine on a scale of one to ten.

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

I have experience with other solutions, such as Freshdesk, ServiceNow, Zendesk, ConnectWise, Azure platform, and Ivanti.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup of ServiceNow was easy for me.

What was our ROI?

The return on investment from ServiceNow may be around 8.5, indicating time-saving benefits or fewer people needed to operate with this solution.

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

Regarding the price of ServiceNow, I am not certain because our management team takes care of all pricing details, but I know it is quite high in the market.

What other advice do I have?

Based on my experience, I would recommend ServiceNow to other people. I give ServiceNow an overall rating of nine out of ten.

Adopting flexible workflows with customized automation delivers measurable benefits

  • May 15, 2025
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

The use case for ServiceNow was that one of our clients was using some other tools for the ticketing system, which was an on-premise tool that presented a lot of hassle with respect to infrastructure challenges. They contacted us, and we evaluated different cloud-based solutions such as Jira, ManageEngine, and ServiceNow. After the demos and evaluations, they adopted ServiceNow, and we migrated all their workflows from the legacy system to ServiceNow.

What is most valuable?

The key points, both pros and cons of ServiceNow in comparison to Jira or ManageEngine technologies, are that it offers an object-oriented architecture, which is more flexible and allows us to customize the workflows quite easily. Additionally, the user interface is very much aligned with the requirements of the customer.

Feature-wise, the object-oriented architecture of ServiceNow is very much helpful for designing the workflows and similar tasks.

I have seen ROI from ServiceNow, as the client I mentioned earlier is achieving ROI for adopting this cloud-based technology. They have removed the costs associated with on-prem infrastructure, including data center costs, power costs, and physical server costs.

What needs improvement?

There are things that I would like to see improved in ServiceNow, such as the pricing, as it is a very costly solution compared to other tools. Additionally, its presence in the local market is very limited; in Pakistan, for example, I don't see any vendor or distributor of ServiceNow available. They need to increase their sales spectrum globally so people can easily access them and engage them for client meetings and more.

From a functionality perspective, the features in ServiceNow are acceptable as, at the moment, the ITSM modules rank highly, being 13 plus Pink Elephant certified, which is a good aspect to have.

When providing advice to users, I would suggest they consider making strategic decisions about their per user pricing since it is very high. In our region, people normally start with 5 to 10 users, but the per user price is quite steep. Moreover, ServiceNow does not charge based on data uploaded or downloaded, so they should reconsider their pricing and data policies to align better with the financial capabilities of the region.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with ServiceNow for more than a year.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

How are customer service and support?

I would rate the technical support of ServiceNow a six on a scale of 1 to 10, where 10 is the best.

It is not difficult to maintain ServiceNow; it simply requires sending a request. However, obtaining support for maintenance is the current challenge because they don't have a presence in the local market.

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

Our client was using other tools for the ticketing system, which was an on-premise tool that presented many infrastructure challenges.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup of ServiceNow was straightforward; I did not face any challenges or complexities during the implementation process because it is instance-based, so everyone can sign up with the instance online and get it ready.

What about the implementation team?

It took me between 3 to 6 months to migrate from the legacy system to ServiceNow, depending on how many workflows needed to be migrated.

What was our ROI?

I have seen ROI from ServiceNow, as the client is achieving ROI for adopting this cloud-based technology. They have removed the costs associated with on-prem infrastructure, including data center costs, power costs, and physical server costs.

What other advice do I have?

All the modules of ServiceNow are equally important, but initially, I can say that the change management and asset management modules are the ones that I recommend to our clients.

I have utilized automation capabilities in ServiceNow by introducing workflows. The main goal of designing automation workflows was to achieve automation.

It has been successful as my clients have completely gotten rid of that legacy system and are now using the ServiceNow solution.

I have not had any AI features or AI-driven initiatives with ServiceNow.

Regarding the integration capabilities of ServiceNow, I don't know as we did not use any kind of integration.

In terms of the size of the environment, there are more than a hundred workflows.

From the end users' perspective, there are around 75 users.

Overall, I would rate ServiceNow as a nine as a solution and product.

Service catalogs and seamless integrations enhance project management capabilities

  • December 30, 2024
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

I primarily use ServiceNow for client development. We have specific clients, and we offer consultation for them. Our tool also handles project management.

What is most valuable?

For our work, ServiceNow's service catalogs and SDK integrations are the most valuable features. It offers integrations like the mid server integration and others. ServiceNow provides a wide range of functionality, covering all the necessary modules, unlike Jira which is primarily for IT.

What needs improvement?

There are sometimes challenges with the portal being a bit confusing for new users. The implementation of the portal and workspaces is quite different, and improvements in this area would be beneficial.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using ServiceNow for around two and a half years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

ServiceNow is stable enough. They provide good solutions if there are any issues.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We haven't faced any scalability issues. ServiceNow is scalable and meets our needs.

How are customer service and support?

The tech support is good. I have contacted them four to five times over the past two years, and they have been quite helpful.

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

I have only used ServiceNow solutions. I did not evaluate any other solutions before using ServiceNow.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup depends on the complexity of the project. It can take two to three months or even up to two years, based on the project's requirements. I would rate it seven point five out of ten for ease of setup.

What was our ROI?

The return on investment is good when implementing for ourselves and for other clients. The ROI for projects is favorable.

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

The pricing depends on the complexity. If only using modules like in Jira, ServiceNow can be more expensive, but it offers more functionality. ServiceNow's pricing can be justified if more functionality is required.

What other advice do I have?

I recommend considering the functionality and user-friendliness before deciding on its implementation.

I rate ServiceNow eight out of ten.

Offers benefits due to its compatibility and comprehensive approach for the entire chain process

  • August 01, 2024
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

We're using ServiceNow for the entire chain process and all aspects of the module. It covers all modules and their associated problems.

How has it helped my organization?

It offers significant benefits due to its compatibility and comprehensive approach. Consolidating multiple functionalities into a single platform reduces the need to invest in various separate solutions. ServiceNow integrates ITSM, CMDB, Discovery modules, and more into one cohesive system. This unified approach provides a single view across all modules, reducing complexity and financial risk. By using a single technology, organizations can effectively meet their needs and address potential risks more efficiently.

What is most valuable?

This was very helpful in CMDP, particularly regarding extraction and workflows. The benefit lies in having a single console rather than multiple consoles, which significantly simplifies the process and improves efficiency.

What needs improvement?

ServiceNow has had a similar pattern, but when it comes to third-party integrations, Uddin appears to be more flexible than ServiceNow. ServiceNow might need to improve its capabilities to integrate with third-party tools.

Due to differences in naming conventions and data fragmentation between systems, we need to address compatibility issues by modifying naming conventions, altering fields, and making adjustments as necessary. ServiceNow has default field functionalities that may not align with those the MagOne system provides. Therefore, customization will be required to ensure compatibility and meet specific requirements.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using ServiceNow for six years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The product is stable.

How was the initial setup?

Deployment depends upon the environment. For me, it takes three months to deploy the solution because it has different dependencies.

What was our ROI?

It saved 30% of the money compared to others.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We have three competitors. One is BMC product, the second is ServiceNow and the third is Atlassian.

What other advice do I have?

ServiceNow provides insights into topology, though it may sometimes lack detailed understanding. We have correlated it with our monitoring tools to trace the hierarchy and determine its impact across various business lines. This is part of the AIOps information, consolidating all relevant details into a single ticket for easy access.

I recommend the solution.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
