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.

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.

ServiceNow is used for our ticketing system. It is integrated with our support page to allow customers to send a ticket in. ServiceNow is also used as a knowledge base. We upload articles as it pertains to our user's issues. I upload documentation and also use it as a ticketing system where correspondence is sent back and forth to the customer. Basically providing a paper trail
  • Provide clear email and account detail
  • Provides dashboards for tracking
  • provides a way to communicate to other teams
  • Improvement is needed with the refresh part. I would suggest providing a quicker timer when it comes to refreshing
  • allow color changes and themes
  • a better way to customize the layout so, it is more organized
Overall it's a great tool. It is a little slower than Zendesk, but it accomplishes the goal of the case and account management. I would not necessarily use ServiceNow for a knowledge base as I like Atlassian products better for a KB

All our people use ServiceNow to open IT ticket and manage it and when it is closed they can give feedback. All IT staff use ServiceNow to manage these tickets The management of tickets by ServiceNow offers a database of case history and good statistics. It is the best ITSM platform that we have found, it is native for incident management, problem management, knowledge management, and service request management.
  • The best ITSM management just in 1 tool.
  • User friendly for no IT people when they must raise a IT issue.
  • It offer very good workflow during incident or request item.
  • Connection with external Service desk tool.
if your company uses ITIL standards and you are looking for an ITSM platform ServiceNow is your best choice. It is a web platform well integrated with all common browsers. The installation didn't take a lot of time and it was not expensive. In the beginning, we bought ServiceNow in order to replace the old IT ticket tool then it was very flexible when we decided to implement Change Request, Asset Management, and KB for incidents and statistics.

Currently, we are sandboxing it to possibly replace an existing ticketing service tool. Obviously, this tool will be used to track users' requests/incidents/etc. Also looking into its ability to integrate with Jamf and assets for compliance. Eventually, we hope to get other departments on board to collaborate with the ticketing system. KB tool is good to centralize information.
  • Asset management
  • KB
  • Integration within other systems
  • Not enough permission layers.
  • Expensive
  • Difficult in adaption within organization.
ITSM tool for the end-users interface is easy to use and navigate. The buttons are clear and easy to read. The selections are very transparent in softboxes to fill in the form. Adaptions within departments are difficult. It's hard to define to use case per function of each individual needs. More chat collaboration is probably needed within the application to include others in an incident.

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.

Our customers use ServiceNow Now Platform to raise orders or cases and I often will raise cases on behalf of customers. It is very easy to use. Our customers can also get advice on the product on the platform. we can raise internal cases on there. Also to teams such as IT if we need replacement equipment or other software is not working
  • Stores Information
  • Raises Faults
  • Raises Cases
  • Searching for raised cases
  • Searching by customer name
It is very easy to use, and puts cases in the right places if they're raised correctly. I just have a hard time searching for cases once I raise them or searching by customer names. The search function should be a lot better, but all in all it is a good CRM system to use.

ServiceNow is used as a ticketing system across departments to allow for the submission of Technology support tickets as well as visibility of work on visual task boards.
  • Ticketing
  • Visual Task Boards
  • Custom Configuration
  • Enhanced reporting functionality
ServiceNow is great for use as a ticketing system for technical work. It is highly customizable and overall easy to configure. It is great for Agile teams where everyone can see the work and easily update status of stories.

ServiceNow is is our Primary ISTM and Change Management solution. We also use it for SAM and HAM capabilities. The tool itself is so versatile and useful that we try to integrate as much as we can into ServiceNow. Flow designer is used to automated user management and record keeping for audits.
  • Automation
  • Asset management
  • Ticketing
  • Change Mangment
  • Discovery Maintenance
  • Installation of integrated apps by automatically installing all necessary items
The ServiceNow Platform is well suited for automation processes. The amount of apps that can integrate with ServiceNow allow for numerous processes or Flows to be created. Processes around user IAM can be easily created with integration to Azure / AD or Okta. Also the ability to integrate with tools like SolarWinds allow for system related flows to also be created.

Servicenow is our ticketing platform. We use it to tie together LogicMonitor and auto-generate tickets based on alerts.
  • Autogenerate tickets from Logic Monitor.
  • Tickets from email to service desk is nice.
  • Change control process flow is good.
  • My home screen needs to auto update based on a timer.
  • Long drawn out process for closing a ticket.
  • Creating change control tasks are not intuitive.
Good, solid cloud-based ticketing and alerting tool.
