Gladly vs. ServiceNow Customer Service Management

Any business that has a customer base could benefit from Gladly. If you call, text, social media message, etc Gladly can do all of these functions and keeps all of these conversations easily located so that you can refer back to previous conversations. The ability to leave notes on the account is very helpful.

It is well suited for medium to large companies that manage different teams and need to communicate constantly and track progress in a timely manner. It is less suited for small enterprises as it will overwhelm users with the features and functionalities embedded.

• Easy to use interface. Supporting customers is as easy as texting a friend.
• True Omnichannel support system where all channels live on the same screen without the need to hop between applications.
• Built-in knowledgebase (Answers) reducing team member ramp time and providing a template for consistent solutions for our customers.

• If a contact is not currently assigned to me and I don’t know their info I can’t find them easily even if I was associated with the ticket.
• The inbox could notify you better of completed tasks and keep better track of your history in your own account.

Bottom line is that it does what you need it to do. We've been using Service Now as a ticket managing tool for a few years now. There's really not much it can't do when it comes to recording interactions. It has been nice using inventory tracking for software licenses and hardware as well.

Gladly is always available to support its customers. That being said, we really haven’t needed support. The product is intuitive and stable. The reality is the support we receive is more collaboration on how we can help Gladly continue to revolutionize this space.

Support has been very good. Any time there has been a real issue, the team has responded very quickly and identified the issue without a lot of repetitive questions that I've seen from other services. There is a great external community and internal knowledge base that covers pretty much anything you need.

Connectwise targets small to medium enterprises and kept things simple for cross-organizational communications. On the other hand, ServiceNow with users with more than 500 at least, tends to create lag and tension when all are using the app at the same time, especially getting reports in a timely manner.

• It positively helps us communicate with each other before we communicate with the timer if there are any questions or issues.
• Gladly helps prioritize email vs phone call and chat so that you are focusing on the most important task at hand.
• Gladly allows you to view what other representatives are doing and if they are busy or available for questions.

• The negative impact for my team is the delay in team completing tickets but not a system issue.
• A positive impact for my team is we can easily view the status of tickets and the follow-up emails are beneficial to maintain records of tickets.
• Negative impact is that there is no user job aid or helpful tools for new users.
