Overall Satisfaction with ServiceNow DevOps
ServiceNow DevOps is used to open tickets related to IT Production support. Also, generic tickets to handle requests between different IT functions (i.e. between Networking and Engineering). Change requests to promote development changes from Non Production to Production environments were also handled with ServiceNow DevOps. I was able to submit all kinds of tickets within the software and also approve certain tickets that were specifically directed to my IT team
Pros
- Change Requests tickets
- Production support tickets
- Tickets among different business units or within IT functions to request work to be done
Cons
- I'd like to see more interaction with email. Once a ticket is closed I'd like to have an email come to me automatically and just be able to click on something to effectively close the ticket in ServiceNow DevOps after providing closing details
- I'd like in certain exceptions to be able to open tickets with time in past.
- Ticketing system
- Change Control scheduling
- email integration
- It increased coordination between teams when handling Production support tickets
- It increased the speed to react and handle Production support tickets
- OpsGenie and Atlassian JIRA Align (formerly AgileCraft)
As mentioned previously, not sure if ServiceNow DevOps can handle tickets in an agile methodology, where everything is setup based on Sprints, stories and the whole agile terminology. We use OpsGenie to setup shifts for Production support teams, OpsGenie alerts people through a mobile app about production issues as well as to whom is Oncall support for multiple teams. Not sure this functionality is there in ServiceNow DevOps. For now those 3 applications are handling different functions in our company and would be difficult for me to compare them
