ServiceNow's IT Operations Management (ITOM) includes features such as discovery, service mapping, event management, automation, and a user interface designed to be navigable. Users can bookmark important areas for quick access. Provides very good visibility of assets. The UI is little difficult but once got used to is very good to use.
Microfocus is less expensive than IBM. Also, IBM's user interface is more complex than Microfocus's User interface as Microfocus is more friendly. Also, Microfocus allows the user or system engineer to navigate the UI, search records and service manager, etc. providing the user complete management platform making it a completely accessible platform.
BMC was our legacy system before deploying ServiceNow. It's time had passed for us as it couldn't really keep up with our move to cloud and the number of services we were using. The cost kept getting higher, especially with all of the customization we had to do. Over the years, just got unwieldy. We still use Splunk for raw data and log analysis, but we upgraded to ServiceNow event management and the Loom system log analytics. We had Loom before ServiceNow bought them, but it's nice it's all on one platform for us. Splunk at times had so much info, we didn't know where to start, but ServiceNow gives us a great starting point.
