Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros and Cons

Flexibility in the type of tickets created.
Standard forms to fill for tickets and incidents.
Allows you to assign work to teams if you don't have an individual to assign it to.

I need to keep special bookmarks since some areas don't have links to get to, and I'm not sure how else I would get to those pages.
When I'm trying to open one type of ticket, sometimes I can only find the buttons for a different type.
The different ServiceNow versions are named after locations which doesn't make it clear what is a newer or older version.

Return on Investment

I don't have insights to any of the metrics, but since this is one of the main ticket systems we use, I imagine most of the work being done is getting assigned through Service Now.

Support Rating

Since I am just a front end user I haven't had to deal with Service Now support.

Usability

I would say my biggest complaint is about navigating to the pages you need which is either right there for you to click on, or you need to keep a link saved to get to portions. When I don't have any issues finding the page I need, everything is straight forward and creating/updating tickets is as easy as it should be.

Likelihood to Recommend

ServiceNow is a ticket software and is fine to use for any circumstances which requires assigning work to teams or individuals, creating approval flows where different people need to approve a work item, or even some other random functions like a knowledge base for storing team articles or creating a Configuration Management Database (CMDB). While it is used by all of our IT department, I can see why the developers are using Jira more and the infrastructure teams are using ServiceNow.
