    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.

    It's perfect for us to update processes that we use daily at Curri. This is a very important piece of our business because being a start-up, things are always changing. I'd say it's pretty appropriate for all needs related to a knowledge base.

    • Sometimes the search doesn't want to pull up what I've entered, even though when I find what I'm looking for, it's named exactly what I was searching for.

    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.

    ServiceNow
    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.

    Atlassian Jira lacks certain features and process which was delivered by ServiceNow Customer Service Management. Also, flexibility to customise was a point to select ServiceNow Customer Service Management tool. Cost which was high than Atlassian Jira compensated as it improved overall customer satisfaction and reduced resolution time by taking help of Knowledge base integration

    Most of the systems I have used in the past that house knowledge feel clunky and difficult to navigate. They are not easily modified and are not easy to access when you are working directly with a customer. They do not feel linear and sometimes feel overwhelming when you are trying to learn new processes. Overall, I've never used a KB that I felt did a great job at housing the information I would need to refresh and train. Slab is easy to navigate, easy to use and overall very seamless in delivering information. I never feel overwhelmed and the simplicity in it's layout allows users to access information without feeling discouraged trying to locate it

    Return on Investment
    ServiceNow
    • 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.
