I have been using servicenow as a ticketing tool for past 2 years. The interface is quite easy to understand . There are options to create your own dashboard and also, there are tabs to filter your own tickets for developer and administrators. Overall, a very effective and time saving software.
  • It saves time
  • For beginners, it is an easily understandable software
  • The interface is very smooth
  • Updates must be provided frequently
  • Sometimes the software lags while it is in update
  • Categorisation should be more versatile.
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.

We use ServiceNow IT Asset Management to order new hardware or software installation and configuration from the IT infrastructure division. It's also used to create tickets for password reset or other troubleshooting jobs.
  • Order new hardware
  • Troubleshoot existing hardware
  • Order new software
  • Troubleshoot existing software
  • Order services
  • Edit existing ticket
  • Assign service team
  • Check status of ticket
  • Search my ticket using search string
ServiceNow IT Asset Management is well suited for creating tickets to get something done by another team. The UI is not intuitive creating difficulties for tasks like searching existing tickets without the ticket number or using some search string. It's also hard to check the status of tickets.

We were using Service now for incident management and managing all new requests, any employee can open a request for it as we have thousands of employees are working from home hence Service now works efficiently to work with, also it is easy to have the current status as we can have current comments and steps to be taken are clearly visible.
  • Incident Management
  • Reporting for Incident
  • Dashboards
  • UI can be better, It sometime hard to search the tickets
  • Learning curve is Long ,
Servicenow Is a great tool for asset management as during this condition of a remote working large pool of employees is working remotely, hence Managing them is a difficult task, Service now is easy to use application it has some learning curve but can be done, it easy efficient incident management and change management process and transparency in the process as end-user can view the step and problem and time to resolve

ServiceNow is our ITIL-driven service management portal where we manage all our resources, activities on one hand and make use of ITIL to the best on the other hand. We use it as our inventory system maintaining the IT assets comprising of all the physical systems and the Configuration Items regarding the systems we have for our business. It's a one-stop shop for all the IT landscape integrating people to systems to resources.
  • Incident Management
  • Inventory Management
  • Change Management
  • Problem Management
  • Knowledge Management
  • 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
Incident Management where we can have support groups catering to the end-user community in terms of addressing issues with respect to a system. Change Management where it can be used to manage and plan and deploy changes to the systems in an organized way. Knowledge Management for any knowledge articles about system behavior and help documents pertaining to an IT system. Problem Management for understanding the root cause of the faults in the systems if any.

ServiceNow helps to manage end-to-end IT assets and products through the same Umbrella. Request for assets, approval, authorization is managed by a single UI. Approvers can share comments which can be addressed by stakeholders depending upon requirements. It is easy to navigate through different request forms and follow up until the completion of the request.
  • Approval management.
  • One view if ticket status with detailed comments and required attachments.
  • Automated Notification.
  • Integrated Mobile application.
  • Reopening a ticket.
  • Better mapping between requests and tasks.
ServiceNow IT Asset Management service is very well suited for workflow management of asset requests, procurement, distribution, and authorization. It helps a single bird eye view of status along with detailed comments. A list of products with life cycle management is the major focus for this product.

We use ServiceNow IT Asset Management to keep an inventory of our assets. It saves us time during the lifecycle of tickets, optimizing the productivity of the team. It also reduces the risk of making mistakes. The CMDB is very flexible and can encompass different types of hardware and software assets.
  • Saves time while managing tickets.
  • Decreases the probability of making mistakes.
  • Scalable.
  • Integration with other assets managements platforms like Snipe-It.
ServiceNow is well suited for environments where there is a high number of assets and it is necessary to keep track of them in the tickets as well.

It is used for incident ticketing and change management. Also, used for some of the internal workflows.
  • Incident ticket management - very comprehensive.
  • Workflows.
  • Adequate reporting.
  • Initial setup can be onerous.
  • Support mostly Ok but some improvement possible.
  • Frequent updates - good thing but can be challenging for overworked staff.
It is perfect for helpdesk management and assignments/workflows are very easy to do once set up. On the flip side, configuration and initial set-up took longer than expected. Did not seem like the best product for a project management tool.

We use it to track our incidents, requests, and change management. It provides a better way to review and update incidents at a centralized location. It tracks our changes to environments including lower and prod. This also provides the interface for knowledge base articles which is very helpful for the team. Great tool.

  • Automated approval
  • Tableau API call improvement
  • Working with AppFlow seamless
This definitely helps track incidents and requests. Also helps for tracking our change going to lower environments and prod.

Automated emails and notifications are great ways to keep the team informed about the changes to track.

We use ServiceNow in order to manage all new requests by my customer and all problems in the actual data management. A customer could open a request on our queue, describe the needs, with a complete description, one or more attachments, and a priority. We could manage and solve the problem, or only analyze and move the request to another team/queue. We could send an update with the customer communication notes.
  • Manage request by different team.
  • Follow a workflow.
  • Create dashboards.
  • Simple search is working well. Sometime we need an advanced search.
  • Sometime it's quite slow. We need more responsive for first view of a ticket.
  • Complete export function with all data.
We use service now in order to manage problems by both internal business users and end customers from the call center. We appreciate the tool in these two projects. The ticket management is very easy: the workflow is clear and we have big pros using this tool. In order to manage a lot of tickets by a big team, we have to export data and manage internal status/notes from excel files. This is because there isn't an internal status and there aren't note fields only visible from the internal maintenance team

We have thousands of employees at work who are given various assets like monitors, work phones, laptops, and each department has its own rules for the allocation of these assets to employees, the service now IT asset management helps manage these effectively for the IT department at Yahoo. Employees can raise a ticket to request any new asset and it gets assigned to the managers for approval. Managers have their own portal to check his/her org assets.
  • Single place portal for employees and IT for assets assigned
  • Track the requests raised by employees and manage the historical record for reference
  • The UI could be better, the tab list column could be refreshed to more modern UX.
Perfect for the organization with hundreds or thousands of employees who need to manage the multiple assets to employees, in the majority of the cases these are not 1-1 assignments. The managers can track any pending approvals in case they have missed approving/denying any assets to his/her reporting org. This also can help customize [were] to say some org only uses Mac and not windows.

We use it to create a ticket for the infrastructure team to install or troubleshoot software/hardware issues.
  • create a SNOW ticket to troubleshot problems on company provided laptop
  • create a SNOW ticket to install new software on company provided laptop
  • create a SNOW ticket to order new hardware like cellphone
  • It is hard to track changes to the ticket
  • It is hard to update the ticket
  • It is hard to search the ticket
It is a good concept for sending work orders to different teams, but the interface needs to be more intuitive and user-friendly.

We use ServiceNow to create, manage, and resolve all client tickets. When someone comes in with a problem, be it hardware or software, we have them send in an email, ServiceNow automatically creates a ticket and sends them back a ticket number, and then anyone who works for IT at our organization can access the service request, reply to the client, and resolve the issue.
  • Creating tickets
  • Organization
  • Site design
  • Improved search function
ServiceNow is most useful for questions that require follow-up or documentation. It makes it easier for supervisors to see exactly what work employees are doing and how, but it can be superfluous or annoying for clients if the issue is easy to resolve with a few words in person, especially for those who prefer not to use email.

We utilize this software to manage and categorize our configuration database and automate on top of that.
  • Flexible Fields
  • Custom Assets
  • Integration with other platforms
  • Pricing, the software is EXPENSIVE!
  • UI, their UI is very dull
  • API extensibility. The features available are great, but to truly make it what you want, you need to put in A LOT of work.
I think this software is well suited for organizations that have large and multitenant configuration databases. It really will allow you to be working more efficiently

ServiceNow IT Asset Management is being used by us as a ticketing tool. Many projects in our organization use it for their respective clients due to the ease and convenience that it offers for incident handling and reporting purposes. It is mainly helpful for handling of tickets ( incidents, changes, service requests and Problem tickets) Daily tasks of creation of incidents, assigning them and working on them becomes easier and convenient. Reports functionality in ServiceNow IT Asset Management is an excellent feature that helps us to analyze the data quickly.
  • Incident Handling
  • Reports
  • Dashboards
  • Attachments functionality
  • Searches
ServiceNow IT Asset Management is very much recommended for handling tickets and reporting purposes. It helps is achieving SLA' and KPI's. The search functionality needs to be improved to give more accurate results.
And the attachments can be improved by allowing drag-drop etc .
