As I have used it as a ticketing tool, so it has an ability to integrate very well with other softwares to help make co ordination in your work much easier. Whenever, I used to get a scenario from end user regarding an issue via chat, the service now window would pop up immediately as it was integrated.

Pros
Halo Service Solutions
  • The Self Service Portal is very easy to configure and the end-users have commented on how easy it is to log and manage their own calls.
  • Asset and User Management works very well and it is simple to link them to tickets. Looking up ticket history for particular Users or Assets is also very useful.
  • The ability [to] use different ticket types and templates is fantastic. The added ability to merge and clone tickets is also a great benefit.

Cons
Halo Service Solutions
  • Support for M365 \ Power Platform, Power Bi reporting in particular
  • Feel the asset management side of the product is not as good as the ticket management
  • Support is excellent but maybe an old school user forum where other admins can share and discuss ideas

ServiceNow
  • One quick thing is integration to reporting platforms like MS Power BI
  • License levels because a normal user with an ITIL license cannot schedule reports..need another license there
  • Easy way to track SLA for incident Management

Support Rating
Halo Service Solutions
I've made overall positive experiences with the Halo support. The only thing to increase would be some follow ups on feature requests. If someone would reach out to me, telling me wheter or not my feature request will be considered in future updates or not.

HaloITSM offered the highest level of functionality, available as standard, at our price level. Halo support during our trial period was second to none and unrestricted. We had a list of deciding factors covering the most important areas of functionality and HaloITSM covered all of these.

We have used Zendesk in past and are able to achieve many functionalities. This tool was also providing almost the same capability but ServiceNow has some more features which [are] more user friendly and easy to use. The knowledge base article feature is very useful and that was not easy to manage with Zendesk. Change management feature was not available with Zendesk too.

Return on Investment
Halo Service Solutions
  • It enabled us to allow our Service Desk Staff to work from home during COVID and this has continued ever since.
  • We have halved our average resolution time.
  • Some of the automation processes, when implemented alongside the MS Power Platform, have saved approximately 30 hours a month. This includes times when customers were unable to access the system until they had been trained. This is now automated via Halo and they get sent to on-demand training, instead of waiting up to 3 weeks for the next scheduled session.

  • ServiceNow had a positive impact on our firms resource management as it's a one stop solution.
  • It made sure that we did not move to an alternative because of it's extensive features
  • Licensing cost can get better but overall it is worth the returns we get.
