We use ServiceNow App Engine to automate financial business problems. There are many problems, One of the problem is as follows, * Our AML(Anti money laundering) team needs to do a background check for every new client/vendor we start working with. Team used to get the detail of the client by manually visiting the background check tools such as Moody and D&B. We created a ServiceNow App Engine form so they if there is a need to do a background check then user needs to simply fill a ServiceNow form that will communicate with ServiceNow App Engine to hit the Moody and D&B API to get the results and create a consolidated report for the requestor.
  • API integration
  • Machine learning models
  • Smooth interaction with cloud platform such as Azure
  • Custom automation flows
It is best suited if there is a need to first gather the input data from the users and then use this data for further business process automation such as the anti-money laundering process which I have stated earlier. ServiceNow App Engine is not a good choice when you need to do something with real time dataset.

  • We have managed to close the un applied cash item from 56% to 89% in a given five working days period by using ServiceNow App Engine
  • By automating and entire money laundering process, we have managed to provide the background check data as quickly as within a day, which was actually taking weeks Same reports when we were doing the things manually.
I found app engine useful for financial business processes automation
ServiceNow App Engine lags Almost most of the feature and we compare it with Microsoft SharePoint and power automate, but the reason why we were using ServiceNow App Engine is because it is a part of the automation COE. We have to use only the ServiceNow App Engine to implement the automation.

  • Cloud Solutions
  • Scalability
Because service now app is available as a cloud service, which is the most important point for us to consider it and to purchase it
The following points, which I will consider before buying it again
1. Do you have any specific other tool to deal with the big data applications in the Organisation? If yes, then I will go with the service now app engine.
2. They are technical limitations when it comes to deal with the big data. If you are using service now, app to hit a data system or third-party system, which will big data so that is a kind of limitation in service now app.
App engine can be used just to process the minimal amount of the data which is being received from the user. We are service now catalogue items or any other data technology.

One of the best for SLA/TAT monitoring and remote working

Rating: 9 out of 10
May 27, 2021
ServiceNow App Engine is the backbone of our organization. It is used day in and out for tracking activities/tickets/concerns. Most importantly, it helps in load allocation and monitoring. Its integration with Outlook and Navision is awesome. It is used across the whole organization.

ServiceNow App Engine is used to track our daily business activities. It makes it easy to track and count on the load/tickets. Also, it takes care of SLA, which helps in proving efficiency and duplicate checks.
  • Integration with Outlook
  • Integration with ERP
  • Followup function
  • SLA tracker
  • Load tracker
  • Filtering of load
  1. Allocation of work within team
  2. Set priority for task
  3. Tracking of task
  4. Monitoring of SLA is best

Less appropriate if replying via ServiceNow App Engine on tickets, needs to be more user friendly, sometimes it takes time to integrate the status of the tickets.
  • Monitoring SLA
  • Tracking orders/task
  • Integration with Outlook
  • Integration with ERP
  • Saves time by properly allocating tickets
  • Ease of doing work
  • Ease of monitoring work/task status
  • Monitoring SLA and TAT
  • Time saver
ServiceNow App Engine is best among all the competitors. Its integration is best with Outlook and ERP, its SLA management is best, and very organized filters are very useful. Categorization of tickets is something that is very useful. It's very easy to search the tasks/order with limited keywords and very easy to customize. The best part is we can simply reply on mails using ServiceNow App Engine and keep a proper log of the tickets.
