June 30, 2021

4.0

Support activity along with different parameters can be easily sorted and managened with help of ServiceNow.

Pros

Filters options are very helpful to categories the incident, filters columns can be customised as per user requirement. Instant generation of report saves lot of time. In change request option justification tab is really satisfying which does not lead any team member for confusion.

Cons

Has some limitations for creation of incident with sub incidents. User interface is not comfortable.

### "Service Now - IT Help Desk tool that is complicated "

October 12, 2022

2.0

Very disappointed with this tool from an IT professional point of view. Much too complicated.

Pros

Easy incident or issue escalation. You are able to assign issues to individuals or to teams. This functionality was quite valuable.

Cons

Not intuitive for everyday use. As an IT professional, my team and I found it very difficult to use. Imagine being an everyday user that has to use this tool.

### "As Flexible as it is Functional"

July 29, 2021

4.0

We've been using ServiceNow for 5+ years and it has really transformed our Service Desk and Customer Service teams ability to work with the customer.

Pros

ServiceNow is such a user friendly product. Their out of the box modules require very little customization to get you up and running using a wide suite of available modules, there's not a lot ServiceNow can't do.

Cons

Over-customization can make upgrading time consuming but there are plenty of guides to assist you with this process.

Reason for choosing ServiceNow

ServiceNow offered the full range of coverage we required with the options to upgrade as we grew with it.

August 24, 2023

3.0

### "I used ServiceNow in a Desktop Support Role"

February 14, 2021

5.0

I used ServiceNow daily, almost hourly to be honest, as a Level 2 Desktop Support Agent. It replaced vFire which was getting slow and agonizing to work with. Tickets would come in and we would perform the work and move the ticket along and/or close it altogether depending on the job. I liked using it and felt it was very robust and powerful while still being nimble and problem free.

Pros

ServiceNow is fast and issue free so long as it's setup correctly. The interface is simple and easy to understand. The learning curve, unlike older software, is practically nonexistent.

Cons

Sometimes tasks can have subtasks that are nested so deeply that they can be missed on first glance. I wish the software had a simpler nesting system.

The decision was made by upper management. I had nothing to do with it. If it was up to me we would have switched sooner as vFire feels ancient and slow compared to ServiceNow.

### "Moltissime funzionalità ma poco immediato"

December 26, 2022

4.0

Pros

offre tantissime funzionalità e moduli differenti per poter gestire praticamente ogni tipo di ticket, integrato molto bene con il portale di self-helpdesk

Cons

per mia personale esperienza trovo che non è uno strumento semplicissimo da utilizzare, soprattutto la parte di backend è poco immediata, forse per la grande quantità di funzioni e moduli esistenti.

### "Ultimate tool"

May 5, 2022

5.0

I personally love it. I know that it is hard to learn but I think it's a very valuable tool and will help our company grow and be the best it can be with the automation that ServiceNow allows.

Pros

ServiceNow can do everything. I personally use it for project management, but our team uses it for ticket management, automated workflows. Our IT team uses it for asset management and ticketing. I've never found an all encompassing tool before.

Cons

It's fairly complicated to learn. I am currently learning dashboards and the reporting feature is really hard. There isn't really good resources out there to learn it either.

### "Time Saving"

September 19, 2023

Using Customer service management module and the solid platform has the biggest value.

Pros

The activity dashboards that can be used to track the activities saves great time for users. Being cloud based let the whole diverse team work at the same time without losing any data.

It needs to integrate with every other product that have been using by the company.

### "ServiceNow review"

March 27, 2023

5.0

It helps in escalation of customer queries to support teams. Follow up on issues that are highly logged.

Pros

ServiceNow is easy to use to escalate customer issues to support groups incase a fast call resolution is not given. You're able to track the resolution given to the issue logged by searching the incident.

Cons

I like all the functions of servicenow so i have nothing negative to say.

Experience is great as it supports many use cases needed by the organisation. API integration makes it easier to raise incidents remotely and assign it to appropriate teams. Custom forms helps to solve any access related self service needs.

### "Streamlined IT Service Management Tool"

October 13, 2021

4.0

Pros

Easy to automate and has various features to prioritize tickets, handle priority tasks and support incidents. The biggest advantage is the ability to integrate with different systems such as Agiloft, JIRA, SecurityScorecard, CRM, etc. ServiceNow helps the implementing team to focus more on collaboration and process development rather than coding since it absolutely limits coding. It is also a well known enterprise GRC tool and has released a Vendor Module, which can be used in Source-to-Pay projects.

Cons

ServiceNow is very expensive, which is a huge deterrent for small and mid-size companies to use its software. They don't do Proof of Concept (POC) in most cases, which forces teams to trust them purely based on the demos and their reputation.

### "Feature packed but need some learning curve to pick up"

April 2, 2024

4.0

Pros

The software can be extended to many use cases. So you can future proof the solution with a view to add more modules to be integrated among those modules.

Cons

User interface is not the most intuitive. You cannot get it to work exactly how you want it. In fact my company has to develop a comprehensive user guide to teach us how to use it. There is a known learning curve and you need time to get used to the software.
