Overall Satisfaction with ServiceNow IT Operations Management

We use it to scan the network, across specific segments, however, we decided to abandon nodes collection by discovery tool, and instead, we collect data from sccm and JAMF and other scanners and discovery tools we have.
We analyze the data and also manage software licenses across the organization.
It serves both IT and Cyber Security as we not only manage licenses but also gain better visibility on users end point allocation.
In addition to that, we consider using the network and services map as part of our change management process.
We do use ServiceNow CAB, and the service map could be a great resource for impact analysis.
  • license management
  • Integrate with other tools
  • Dashboards
  • Change Management - impact analysis
  • Scan network is limited to their discovery tool, which is costly
  • Integration to jamf and ubunto tools
  • Agents TCO
  • integration to password management tools which are critical for successful scans
  • Project portfolio
  • CAB
  • Agile dev
  • Saved license allocated to inactive users
  • Allow better negotiation
We wanted it integrated with ITSM and ITBM.
Prioir to that we used JIRA for agile development and SysAid for ticketing.
So we started with converting SysAid. We went live with Vanilla ITSM. Then we could have a basis for ITOM.
However, we needed to migrated from JIRA to ITSM.
Only then we felt mature enough to examine ITOM, which required quite a lot of resources.
You need networking, motoring, IT and Cyber security team members in your project!!

Would you buy ServiceNow IT Operations Management again?

Yes

ServiceNow is an integrated package.
ITOM discovery input becomes CI's that can be managed in ITSM ticketing functionality,
ITBM change management (CAB), Service mapping etc.
The Network discovery really depends on their tool, which is a pain...
The server's discovery, relay on predefined IP ranges, so you actually need to know what you're scanning, or what you're looking for, which is a bit of a paradox (because you expect the discovery to tell you that).
This is something we are still debating with and right now have decided to put more focus on software management (licenses in particular) is greater pain.
