It's being used across the whole organization. Our entire company sends and finishes tickets using the portal. We use each queue for IT, facilities, and others. Our business needs quick responses, as we work at a media company. We handle [everything] from small issues to big issues on servers and it is of vital importance that the [ticketing] software [vendor] respect our time frames and needs.

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

ServiceNow is being used across the whole IT division of the organization. Outside of the IT department, outside staff doesn't have a way to submit a ticket. The process of submitting new tickets is by calling the IT department, making the program itself only used internally, and only by a certain department.

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.

Used across most of the organization but some smaller / isolated sections still use other / local tools.
Addresses the main ITSM areas namely, Incident, Request, Change, Problem and Configuration / Asset. Other areas are being developed such as Portfolio Management / Service Catalogue. ServiceNow Discovery is being used for Configuration / Asset alongside some other tools.

Our organization uses ServiceNow as our IT [Service Management] tool across the organization. It provides IT with a tool to manage incidents, problems, changes, releases, tasks and more. For our customers, it provides a portal to access knowledge base articles, request catalog items and report issues. Before ServiceNow, we struggled with solutions across multiple platforms.

ServiceNow is one of our internal ticketing systems used for assigning work, raising incidents, getting approvals, knowledge base repository, and also our CMDB. It is one of the ticket systems used by all of IT, but is aimed more at the network infrastructure teams.

We use ServiceNow IT Service Management for change, asset, incident, and problem management. It’s used by the IT department though we have started implementing it for others like HR. The main problem it helps with is incident management--reporting a ticket via chat, email or call is easy. It also helps us organize changes and understand impacts. We use the asset inventory for management and have it tied into the purchase order process.

ServiceNow is used in the tracking of IT services-related technical activities. "Tickets" get created to record requests, incidents, changes, etc. within the firm. A helpdesk is available where technical support folks can create tickets on behalf of callers who are in need of supplies or assistance with some technology. Other professionals who are more comfortable navigating the ServiceNow product will create their own tickets .

ServiceNow is being used for IT Service Management, the central ticketing system to report and solve issues across all company departments. It was also used to drive some of the core company processes like New to hire processing. Where the workflow triggers and creates several tasks and gets them assigned to different departments and individuals to accomplish all tasks needed to supply a new hired individually with all the required accesses to applications that the company uses.
