KronoDesk vs. ServiceNow Customer Service Management

I advise my customers to use it for all issue tracking, in business development as well as in business operations. An interface to operational systems is therefor very helpful and enlarges the value of the KronoDesk knowledge base, provided that this information is "open" to all users of all departments.

As a very technical company we get a variety of resources assigned to answer different questions. We currently use [ServiceNow Customer Service Management] to help us have an prioritization for all of these now. We use the service now across a variety of departments that all deal with complex technical questions that need to spread out across different individuals. There are so many expertise needed for each individual question so having it routed to the right resource in an timely manner is vital to the success of our business.

Support has been very good. Any time there has been a real issue, the team has responded very quickly and identified the issue without a lot of repetitive questions that I've seen from other services. There is a great external community and internal knowledge base that covers pretty much anything you need.

Several freeware/shareware tools like Bugzilla are missing integration with other systems. HP, IBM and CA like systems are too cumbersome and complicated for "normal" users, for me too much "hassle" to monitor issues and related information and links to other issues.

Connectwise targets small to medium enterprises and kept things simple for cross-organizational communications. On the other hand, ServiceNow with users with more than 500 at least, tends to create lag and tension when all are using the app at the same time, especially getting reports in a timely manner.

• The ROI is reached faster and exponentially higher, depending on the number of users and cooperating business units.

• ServiceNow Customer Service Management has a made a positive impact on our customer success management
• ServiceNow Customer Service Management has made internal agreements easier when we interact with different internal teams like IT
• ServiceNow Customer Service Management had to replace our legacy systems for customer management but that did not happen completely hence that is negative impact on our business
