Overall Satisfaction with ServiceNow
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 .
- Ease of ticket creation (navigating just a few fields to get the process underway).
- Ability to provide supporting documentation as attachments to tickets (screenshots, spreadsheets).
- General slowness when querying on lists of tickets at times.
- Mentions of service disruptions can be significantly delayed following the actual event (i.e. network connectivity disruption, power loss, etc.).
- Positive--ability to track the status of major disruptions, helpful in communicating with impacted users of our services without significant delay.
- Positive--improved visibility into progress of ticket completion.
Our contact center (call center) uses Ivanti Service Management, a product that parallels how ServiceNow operates. Though the out-of-the-box offering resembles an incident management solution, we had customized it to be more of a call tracking tool for folks calling into our center with questions about a variety of financial planning topics. It is difficult to compare the two applications, as the ServiceNow is a far more current version than the Ivanti offering we have in place (the release is a few years old) and them being used in different ways.
