The best and most stable project management software allows project members to work together and collaborate through documents which is accessible from any place through Cloud services. ServiceNow App Engine provides easy features and setting of the interface security and tools adjustment are excellent as well as the reports which the platform offers.

Using it in the application support team is worth it as it is capable of carrying a lot of information. But using it for a Service Desk operation might not be of much use as it won't be used up to its full potential and will be costly as compared to other alternatives available in the market.

Pros
  • Easy ticketing system
  • Good for keeping track of issues
  • Sends tickets directly to IT
Read full review
  • It helps put manage the request really well. It is easier to create a request, track the request and manage the request. It doesn't get lost into a pile of requests.
  • We've already pre-setted some settings into our ServiceNow. So it automatically assigns the level of urgency and mentions on the ticke if its a high or low priority request.
  • I really like the ServiceNow dashboards. They ate setup in a really nice way. The dashboards show the real time data aswell as old data incase if we need to see if there is a pattetn in the request or to fix any recurring issue.

Cons
  • Sometimes attachments do not get linked with the tickets
  • Sometimes updating ticket state causes an issue
  • Requires stable internet connection to work smoothly
Read full review
  • Providing admins/devs with easier mechanisms for providing businss stakeholders with self-service admin capabilities across the platform
  • Tutorials on how to be the best at reporting in servicenow
  • Guided tour functionaltiy is a bit rigid and could use more workflow capabilities
  • Making it easier to push form variables to the user so there is more context when providing an approval. The out of box approval UI/form is terrible in my opinion.

There are limited use cases where we are just using the service now app engine as of now

While we are very likely to renew, we are also assessing if we should renew all of what we currently subscribe to as we try to reduce costs. Some parts of the business feel there may be a better tool out there to fit their process requirements. We are currently working with them to identify what those requirements are to see if it makes sense while also pointing out a reduced cost of tooling is not always the best fit if we have an increased cost of customization and maintenance between tools.

Usability
Since people can handle the tool without any development background, this was really helpful and can be adopted by anyone, as reusability functions and drag-and-drop features are very easy. Many in-built features and functionality for integrating other applications are handy and adaptable.

ServiceNow is a web platform that does not require any installation on a customer's computer. It is very easy to use and it is user-friendly. The customer started to open incidents very fast without investing time and money in training. Customer loves the dashboard at the startup where they can see all their open incidents or look at KB articles for any issue.

They tried their best to resolve our queries every time we contacted them about any technical support
Read full review
The platform is provided as a SaaS solution and support from the vendor has been good. There are regular software releases with bug fixes, new features and enhancements, and furthermore we are given the opportunity to fully test these before rolling these new releases out into the production environment to minimise the risk of business disruption

App engine can be used just to process the minimal amount of the data which is being received from the user. We are service now catalogue items or any other data technology.

We went through a re-implementation last year with a partner and were very pleased with the outcome. We looked at several partners and chose one that was able to provide an entire scope and cost upfront of what would be required to complete our requirements. We worked very closely with the dedicated team assigned to our project throughout the process and they fully delivered on all of our requirements that we presented in the initial scope.

Alternatives Considered
Easy and adaptive features and people with no code to basic code developers can handle this, and the reusability of the many functionalities has added advantage. The incident management tool is at the top of the industry, has easy scalability, and adapts to customer needs. Compared with others, pricing is reasonable for the type of support and features it provides.

ServiceNow was chosen as replacement for Microsoft Project , due to better licensing model, more flexible configuration of the project stages and components, better API with Azure DevOps. Also ServiceNow is best in the area of Incident and Service management systems and the proof of concept with Jira and incident.io were not successful and we kept relying on ServiceNow. ServiceNow is much more scalable than MS Project for constantly growing enterprise companies for both employee and external contractor type personas.

  • The biggest positive impact ServiceNow has made to our organization is reduced IT support cost. When we didn't use ServiceNow, we needed a bigger support team. Now we don't need as many support employees.
  • The other positive impact that I've noticed is faster solutions to any problems. ServiceNow makes very easy to resolve IT issues, in a efficient way. The tickets are organized in a way that the higher priority tickets get worked on quicker.
  • The dashboard has also made the job easy to find a recurring problem from its core and fixing it forever so that we don't repeatedly get the same issues again and again
