Loop Returns vs. ServiceNow Customer Service Management

I highly recommend Loop Returns to anyone who is looking for a new returns platform. Their solution is fantastic and the service they provide is top notch. However, budget may be a concern for some businesses as they are more expensive than other solutions. I feel they largely justify the cost increase with their support, but not all companies will feel this way.

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.

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.

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.

Loop Returns had a better core feature set than Returnly, which is why we selected them - though Loop Returns has since acquired Returnly, so this point is more or less moot.

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.

• Retained revenue exceeds costs every year
• Support team reduces stress on our team to ensure process is working

• 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.
