    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.

    Cons
    ServiceNow
    • 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.

    • SaaS connectors are not always kept up to date usually when Publishers make changes to their Portal API's. Appears to be little active monitoring on Flexera/Snow Atlas' side unless a customer reports an issue with the data being returned. Fixes are normally implemented as as quickly as possible, depending on whether it is considered a Bug Fix or a Feature Enhancement.
    • Users - Snow on SAM - No ability to add or bulk import manually. Completely reliant on AD Discovery or Entra ID Discovery
    • Users - SaaS module - No ability for bulk update of Users for things line 'Online only' or 'Qualified' user accounts. This is an issue in larger companies where you have thousands of SaaS Users being reported through connectors like Microsoft E365.
    • SaaS module Dashboard does not allow for filtering of insights to a specific Publisher.
    • Not all Back end SMACC functionality form Snow License Manager have been exposed to the front-end access, as Snow Atlas does not allow customer Administrators access to the back end or SQL databases.
    • If you are migrating from on-prem Snow License Manager to Atlas, migration tools have not been created by Snow and will require a Project to handle your migration. Without Migration tools, we had to use a Managed Service Partner who had to manually create a lot of their own scripts to retrieve data that cannot be downloaded via reports and imported into Atlas. Any attachments documentation on Agreement or License Records has to be manually re-attached/uploaded to the relevant Agreement/License records in Atlas as the migration was performed.

    On overall look, ServiceNow IT Asset Management works amazingly well and it is easy to use for beginners. 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.

    Front line support staff done always understand the issue you are explaining or the need to escalate to back end/higher up areas for resolutions and can often require use of the Escalate function or emailing to your Account/Customer Success Manager. That said, once an issue properly is understood, it is handled well.

    We should have spun up a Project to manage the implementation. Snow indicated to us the ease in which Snow Atlas could be implemented, however this did not factor in that we were migrating from their on-prem product Snow License Manager hosted through a Managed Servicer Partner. For a clean installation, your implementation can be quick and likely not require a Project. If you are migrating from another products or are a company that can have lots of stakeholders, fingers in the pie, hurdles/business processes that need to be adhered to, definitely use a Project to perform your implementation.

    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

    • 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.
