ServiceNow- Best tool to smoothly run business

Rating: 9 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use ServiceNow IT Service Management to create, update, and close tickets. ServiceNow is proper planned tool which works with workflow trigger. For example when we create a ticket it goes to manager for approval or whosoever is assigned in workflow then we can assign it to proper team who will work on that ticket with desired SLA within which ticket needs to be resolved.

Pros

  • ServiceNow is best tool which IT team is given to work on assigned task . Tickets are being assigned in the form of service request or incidents on which we need to respond to client on the basis of SLAs and we can track record of work delivered.
  • Change management is also done in service now if some implementation needs to be done in any project.
  • Movement of change to production /market -go-live status can be managed in service now

Cons

  • UI seems classy to me but for non technical background they sometimes feel lost.
  • For setting up workflow require customization that involves certain complexity .
  • Sometimes page slows down when you have bunch of tickets assigned to load it takes time

Likelihood to Recommend

IT Service Management is best suited for large business 50k-70k employees using it. Also provide support to ITIL standards. Tickets notifications comes up whenever new ticket is assigned or status of existing ticket gets changed. Proposed solution has always benefited everyone in my experience as for already raised problem we can check for fix .

Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use ServiceNow IT Service Management for all of the standard ITIL components. Change, Incident, Problem, Knowledge and Tasks. It is used by numerous departments in our organization, ranging from users in IT (service desk, request fulfillment, etc) to non-IT (HR, premises, special services, etc)

Pros

  • It is exceptional for ticket intake and tracking
  • Handling SLAs on tickets
  • All the steps required for standard ticket life (i.e. notifications, work notes, etc)

Cons

  • It is missing the concept of a work order, like BMC Remedy has
  • Sometimes the core UI vs the workspace can be bothersome to troubleshoot with a user, as they aren't always clear as to which interface they are using

Likelihood to Recommend

ServiceNow IT Service Management is great for any situation where you need to have a ticketing tool for intake and work tracking purposes. It is created on the ITIL v4 framework and it incorporates it beautifully.

Great Service Management Tool

Rating: 9 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

ServiceNow is our primary ITSM tool, we use the modules like Change Management, Incident Management and Problem Management extensively. The product comes with lots of integration options and it aligns to our ITIL framework. The other big module which we use is the CMDB and Knowledge articles. Being a part of support team, its very easy for us to search for any information within Servicenow at ease. We are also depending on this system to define our OLA's and SLA's. There are different reports created to provide Management Information services to provide transparency, improving efficiency and operational level agreements. The Visual Task boards feature offers teams to use them as Kanban boards. Overall a great Service Management tool

Pros

  • Integration
  • Good search capabilities. Applications are created within CMDB and we can search for the app to see the changes, incidents and problems created
  • Reporting. Great store of MIS reports and will let you to create custom reports
  • Visual Task Boards - use it as Kanban boards

Cons

  • Performance - Sometimes there is a bit of slowness
  • Reporting - More chart options
  • More options embedded to support Agile framework

Likelihood to Recommend

In our organization, we are using ServiceNow extensively. Change Management, Incident Management, Problem Management, Time tracking are few modules which we use extensively. This sort of model will work for any product or service based companies as the product is built on ITIL framework. So this product will be suited for small or large scale companies to better organize and add controls and track SLA's for technology or business process.

Best ITSM Tool in the Market

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

we use it as a single point of management system for all kinds of IT services. I use it almost every day and the best part is you can keep a track of your activities. for example what is in progress, pending and closed. It is a very user-friendly and easy-to-go tool.

Pros

  • Keeping a record of all requests and status
  • can manage all services all together at single platform but still in separate modules
  • very well defined roles and features

Cons

  • sometimes hard to find particular modules, it should allow using keywords for searching purposes

Likelihood to Recommend

It is the perfect management tool for giant IT infrastructural organizations as well as small ones. one can always customize and use it as per their capacity and volume. A proper process is defined and is followed when a request is made. It works on an SLA basis which is an amazing option. however, for extremely small ventures its uses are limited as compared to large organizations.

ServiceNow really does provide service NOW

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use [ServiceNow IT Service Management] across our organization to handle all our our own internal support needs: IT issues and requests, employee assistance, etc. We used to use Jira to handle these requests but ServiceNow seems to be better suited to handle tickets of these type.

Pros

  • To create a ticket takes very little up front information and allows the user to submit a ticket quickly
  • The interface is simple and straightforward
  • It's easy to conduct a conversation via the ticket and ask questions/get answers.

Cons

  • If one of my employees submits a ticket, they can't easily share the ticket with me via a link. They have to add me as a watcher.

Likelihood to Recommend

I think [ServiceNow IT Service Management is] best suited for very straight-forward customer support type ticketing. If the problem can't be solved by the customer support team, then the ticket likely is a larger issue (ie: a bug) and then likely a Jira ticket would need to be created for more robust documentation.

ServiceNow IT Service Management is the ultimate tool

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

ServiceNow IT Service Management is widely used in my company by multiple divisions. ServiceNow IT Service Management is a great ally for managing cases and following up in a proper manner. Different areas of my division use it--it's not limited to IT, but also works with development and professional services.

Thanks to the SaaS/cloud solution, ServiceNow IT Service Management is very accessible, secure, and reliable on multiple levels.

Pros

  • Provides different APIs that allow you to develop solutions that initiate a case
  • We can initiate a case using email
  • It provides a very comprehensive and editable dashboard for every individual user
  • Very customizable for every user--colors, dashboards, reports, etc.

Cons

  • I'm not sure if this exist already, but a video tutorial would be great to have
  • A more comprehensive user lookup

Likelihood to Recommend

All in all, ServiceNow IT Service Management is a great tool for all my company because it adapts to different areas and divisions, so it's not tied to the IT realm; having everything in the cloud facilitates communication with our clients.

It actually fits for most of our clients, and the great thing is I believe it's flexible to keep adding clients or accounts that have access to their cases.
