We use ServiceNow Now Platform, particularly the app engine studio to create custom applications for the business and operations team. the applications have been a game changer as we can tap in to the low / no code platform and develope and build custom applications quickly, easily train users, and harness and leverage new data insights.
  • build applications incredibly quickly , or customize pre build modules
  • integrations
  • data insights
  • easy to use / train
  • build complex workflows in minutes
  • user interface and design
  • mobile experience
I think ServiceNow Now Platform is well suited for almost all scenarios, its customization capabilities, ability to create new applications, integrate with other applications make it well suited for any medium to large scale project or company. The only time i would not reccomend ServiceNow Now Platform is if i felt it was too much product and a smaller company or project had a more limited scope of work or limited budget they were working with.

ServiceNow is used to solve HR, Facilities, IT, Procurement, Legal and Finance workflow needs, here at the company. The product addresses Incident, Problem, Change, HR Case, Legal Case, Finance Case, and Work Order Management across all Wayfair corporate, field, and supply chain locations. IntegrationHub spokes and Performance analytics are used as part of our ITSM Pro subscription. We have yet to implement Virtual Agent due to the LOE considerations to enable a level of maturity which MoveWorks Virtual Assistant currently provides (which places it below other priorities on the roadmap).
  • Integrations - very flexible platform to provide information or pull information onto the platform
  • Custom App Builds - ability to create new applications from scratch all while protecting the scope via application scope partitioning.
  • Many out of box tools are provided for admins/developers to solve problems. Including out of box widgets for the service portal (front end employee support portal)
  • Providing admins/devs with easier mechanisms for providing businss stakeholders with self-service admin capabilities across the platform
  • Tutorials on how to be the best at reporting in servicenow
  • Guided tour functionaltiy is a bit rigid and could use more workflow capabilities
  • Making it easier to push form variables to the user so there is more context when providing an approval. The out of box approval UI/form is terrible in my opinion.
Well suited:
- Medium to large companies
- When multiple business units are on the platform
- When workflows require collaboration across multiple fulfiller groups
- When integrations are required across many tools

Less appropriate:
- smaller companies, when you have overlapping tools and duplicate software spend for the same functionality

It is the easiest Ticketing and issue Tracking management system. I can see the details from the originations, the impact caused by the Bug, and the Changes made by the technical team members. Finally how the issue got resolved by the Tier-3 support team. A proper way to follow ITL Management.
  • origination of the errors or Bug
  • What troubleshooting were done by Tier-1 or Tier-2 support team. Any logs got attached to review
  • What changes so far were made by technical team.
  • Whether the required changes got approved by CAB
  • Sometime it is difficult to reopen some closed ticket for escalation.
  • Sometimes it is not easy to read the latest updates via email attachments without opening the client tools
  • I feel sometimes the context gets too long to follow. it contains too many details logs. This is not bad but sometime in the rush could get a little overwhelm.
It can handle a massive load of data without any traffic issues compared to Jira or another ticketing system. Very easy to see who already read the tickets which was not a features with other ticketing system what I have used in past. It is also easy to add or drag any attachments. Which also help for our change management process.

I run a Managed Service for over 250 clients. The clients use ServiceNow for Incident, Problem, Change, Releases, Configuration Management, Service Requests, and process automation. We are starting to deploy Discovery, Software Asset Management, and Hardware Asset Management.
  • Incident Management
  • Change Management
  • Service Requests
  • Clean integration with multiple platforms - Integration Hub to address but not mature
  • Extraction of data to external source for reporting
  • Technical debt - ServiceNow allows unlimited customization
ServiceNow has the ability to create custom metrics to track user activity to ensure you are able to create comprehensive reports. This becomes vitally important when you want to track a previous and current value in a field to show transition. ServiceNow has significant messaging around citizen developers or low code development. We continue to struggle with how this would work in a larger enterprise where we have very strict application lifecycle management.

We use ServiceNow Now Platform for IT Service & IT Operations Management primarily. We have a variety of products that we offer to our customers in the form of Software as a Service (SaaS) and Product as a Service (PaaS) model. This essentially means we have different releases, hotfixes, consultancy based adhoc enhancements that needs to be pushed to various environments for variety of reasons. ServiceNow tremendously helps us record & track these changes using customized workflows that perfectly aligns with our needs. Incident Management is another big area that we track and report using ServiceNow. Needless to say ServiceNow has become a very integral part of the organization's workflow.
  • Change Management
  • Incident Management
  • Asset Management
  • We use ServiceNow for a wide variety of tasks within the organization and we currently do not see any shortfall. Quite happy with the frequent updates that is made to the platform.
Change Management is one area - here we can define custom workflows which makes it easy for users to submit change requests, go through multi-tier approval matrix, change tracking, SLA/KPI based reporting around Change TAT (turnaround time) makes it easy for future planning and course corrections.Incident Management and tracking is another area which ServiceNow handles very well.

We used ServiceNow Now Platform for asset management, change requests, incident management and corporate point of reference of everything that is integrated in ServiceNow Now Platform. This is used by the whole corporation and subsidiaries.
  • IT Service Management
  • Asset Management
  • Incident Management
  • Integrated Chat Feature
  • Integration with systems with it's own inventory / asset management (SIEM, AV Solutions)
ServiceNow Now Platform is over the cloud so accessibility will never be an issue. Powerful tool as you can upload several rows of excel data in a matter of minutes.

The main reasons we decided to implement ServiceNow were the lack of proper distribution, tracking, reporting, and overall visibility of IT workload which on the other hand was making it difficult for us to make data-driven strategic decisions related to prioritization, and capacity planning, and recruiting.
  • tracking
  • Self-Service/Request Fulfillment
  • Collaboration
  • Slow Loading times
  • Initial setup
  • Asset management
ServiceNow can facilitate an organization's need for a robust incident and change management tool. It also has a wide array of other features that can be tailored to the company or down to the individual. ServiceNow also provides capabilities for event management, such as a trigger that would perform a restart of a service on a server for example.

We are using ServiceNow as an ITSM platform to resolve users' Issues, The users can just send an email and a ticket is automatically created in ServiceNow, the application is very much helpful in managing and reporting. The inbuilt features of knowledge management, incident management, problem management, and service request management all under one roof make the application a perfect fit for our organization.
  • The user interface is well designed and can be customised according to the organization's needs.
  • Almost all of the ITSM management can be managed under one roof.
  • Creation of report and dashboard is easy.
  • Connecting and importing data from third party applications.
ServiceNow Now Platform is well suited for all organization's as almost all ITSM products are combined under one roof. The application is very easy to use and user friendly, the interface is pretty much self explanatory. There are a lot of filters that could be used to get the desired report. The function to build dashboard in house is very easy and good to use.

It is used by Internal IT and all employees can raise ticket using it.This is very nice platform for Service tickets, reporting and change management. Can create templates for change requests.<br>Easy for freshers to start with the ticketing system. Even it is easy to manage the database of this application.<br>There are scenarios where we even pull data from DB for audits and reports.
  • Self Explanatory UI
  • Easy for freshers to understand
  • Good for internal KB creations
  • When the SQL server is busy application too experiences performance issues
  • The status changes are not very much effective as the SLA clock is always ticking in most of the statuses
It is very well suitable for large scale organizations. In an environment where frequent change requests are expected. Also very much suitable for teams with lots of freshers. Level1 and Level2 environments where KBs are much needed. Required where incident type tracking is must. Also when incident categorization and reports are needed.
