BotStar
This is a perfect tool to help you save time with repetitive tasks, enhance customer experience. As long as you use Facebook Page or Website, BotStar is suitable for developing your business or project. While it is possible to create chatbots that can speak more naturally, it will require some programming knowledge as well as time to develop.

Using it in the application support team is worth it as it is capable of carrying a lot of information. But using it for a Service Desk operation might not be of much use as it won't be used up to its full potential and will be costly as compared to other alternatives available in the market.

Pros
BotStar
  • First of all, the design, as well as the ease of use, are definitely the biggest strengths of this platform. The drag and drop feature allows me to design the flow quite conveniently.
  • Second, the step-by-step video, documented tutorials are simple and only took about 5-10 minutes.
  • Third, BotStar created the feature which allows me to update CMS data automatically with CSV files.

Cons
BotStar
  • BotStar updates regularly, but sometime it come with small bugs.
  • Should consider update Smart delay feature.
  • BotStar has lots of tools and integrations, so it would be great to have more documents or a place for people to share their ideas with those tools.

ServiceNow
  • Providing admins/devs with easier mechanisms for providing businss stakeholders with self-service admin capabilities across the platform
  • Tutorials on how to be the best at reporting in servicenow
  • Guided tour functionaltiy is a bit rigid and could use more workflow capabilities
  • Making it easier to push form variables to the user so there is more context when providing an approval. The out of box approval UI/form is terrible in my opinion.

As a regular user of the ServiceNow platform, including the incident management, change management and enterprise application management modules, I find that I am able to competently use the platform with minimal training and assistance. User guides are available from the vendor if required. The customisable front-end that we use in the organisation as an ordering tool for internal IT services is very easy to use, and makes searching for the required IT service simple for business users.

We have many levels of interaction with ServiceNow. The first line of support sometimes is not equipped to resolve more complex issues, but the escalation process is clearly defined and followed with limited friction. Our account team is very responsive and willing to brainstorm ideas to improve and increase usage. We also have direct interaction with product teams to see previews of new features and at times to provide input to influence implementation details.

BotStar
Easy to use interface and price are the two factors that made me decide to use BotStar. Compared to other chatbot platform, there are a few features that are not available or as diverse, but seeing the platform is updated monthly makes me confident that I have made a wise choice.

ServiceNow is by far a better tool over Remedy. Its ability to integrate so seamlessly to so many tools allows for plenty of opportunity to streamline and improve processes. Servicenow has intuitive flows that allow you to quickly pivot if process change. Its adaptiveness is what makes it far better solution over Remedy

1. It is not great when they can't seperate apps/products from a particular sku, forcing you to make a business case for a larger portion of functionlity than your current business case seeks to address. 2. ServiceNow reps are able to work with you when economies of scale are projected out. They are willing to start at a desired tier and provide pricing at applicable upgraded tiers
