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.

  • The ITAM dashboards and forms can feel overwhelming for agents or managers who don’t use the system every day.
  • While the reporting tools are robust. building custom, dynamic reports still requires a decent understanding of the ServiceNow Platform.

While Kubecost is very critical tool, providing useful information about your organization's kubernets cost patterns, it could use additional features like better integration with other IBM tools. Having the ability to incorporate other IBM tools will be helpful for users and leadership as well as increase overall awareness of what other Products IBM provides.

Remedy for one was a tool to be installed on my computer whereas ServiceNow is a web-based tool and is available to use everywhere since it's a SaaS offering. Next is reporting which you have to use formulas in remedy but you have that good UI for easy report creation

  • By tracking license usage, we’ve been able to reallocate unused licenses instead of purchasing new ones, saving thousands annually.
  • With the integration to Amazon Connect and Zoom Phone, agents can instantly view user assets during calls, which has reduced average resolution time and improved customer satisfaction scores.
