    The purchase order module can be very useful if you put a process in place. It is miles ahead of using a spreadsheet or something simple to do purchase orders and track spending. It can be good to keep track of equipment and software you have in house. However it is imperative you have dedicated staff and processes in place to maximize the utility of the software else it can become a white elephant if not implemented properly as it is a complex piece of software that does many things.

    As I have used it as a ticketing tool, so it has an ability to integrate very well with other softwares to help make co ordination in your work much easier. Whenever, I used to get a scenario from end user regarding an issue via chat, the service now window would pop up immediately as it was integrated.

    ManageEngine, A Div of Zoho Corporation Pvt Ltd
    • The asset discovery across the network is great.
    • The periodic scanning and updating of asset status is super valuable.
    • The software discovery is outstanding. Receiving list of installed software helps greatly with license compliance.

    Cons
    ManageEngine, A Div of Zoho Corporation Pvt Ltd
    • You can fill the database and link it.
    • You can also add assets that aren't connected with the offline script, I would prefer to get a .exe but this import XML works well.
    • All is handled via the web, I would prefer a GUI standalone client.

    • The ITAM dashboards and forms can feel overwhelming for agents or managers who don’t use the system every day.
    • While the reporting tools are robust. building custom, dynamic reports still requires a decent understanding of the ServiceNow Platform.

It is a great tool for all types of companies and with customisation and integration options, ServiceNow IT Asset Management becomes a giant. There are few scope of improvements which when done, will level this tool up.

    It is not a perfect solution. I don't believe it is the best software for some of the components it offers but I do like and appreciate what it does offer. It offers complexity and a range of features for a company to take advantage of if planned and implemented properly.

    Altiris is very daunting for users that have never worked with it. AssetExplorer was much easier to use for our team that had no experience with asset management.

    Remedy for one was a tool to be installed on my computer whereas ServiceNow is a web-based tool and is available to use everywhere since it's a SaaS offering. Next is reporting which you have to use formulas in remedy but you have that good UI for easy report creation

    • Allow us to stay in compliance with licensing requirements. We usually have just the right amount of licenses +2 or 3. We don't have to guess on where we are.
    • Allows us identify older assets and proactively replace them. Reduces downtime.
    • No negative impacts I can think of.

    • By tracking license usage, we’ve been able to reallocate unused licenses instead of purchasing new ones, saving thousands annually.
    • With the integration to Amazon Connect and Zoom Phone, agents can instantly view user assets during calls, which has reduced average resolution time and improved customer satisfaction scores.
