"Centralized Ticket Management with Automation"
4/5
What do you like best about ServiceNow IT Service Management?

I love using ServiceNow IT Service Management for its seamless ticket routing automation and deep integration with the CMDB, which centralizes all active incidents into a single interface. This makes monitoring complex user requests and managing cross-departmental assignments simple and clear. The automated SLA tracking is incredibly reliable, providing our team with a structured approach to prioritize high-level technical tasks. The integration with Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Entra ID also helps by automating ticket generation from emails and streamlining identity management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ServiceNow IT Service Management?

The user interface is too heavy and causes noticeable delays or lag when loading large ticket queues during peak hours. Also, configuring custom reporting or changing minor routing rules on the admin side is overly complex and has a steep learning curve for new team members. It needs a lighter, more intuitive dashboard. For custom reporting, building simple dashboards requires navigating through too many database tables and conditions, which feels unnecessary for daily tracking. For new team members, the learning curve is steep because the terminology and access permissions are confusing. It takes too much manual onboarding time just to teach them how to create basic filters and route tickets correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Centralized Workflow, Powerful Yet Complex"
4.5/5
What do you like best about ServiceNow IT Service Management?

I like using ServiceNow IT Service Management as it centralizes my entire technical workflow, so I don't need to switch between different tabs or solutions. It's all there, whether I need to report a system glitch or check the status of a security patch. The Change Management module is particularly useful for maintaining a clear audit trail, which is critical for compliance. The audit trail functionality is a lifesaver, saving me time by allowing me to dig up audit logs in seconds instead of searching through different solutions. The unified data model (CMDB) is a game changer, connecting our technical infrastructure to business services and helping identify affected applications during outages with the Impact Analysis feature. The Now Assist AI feature is great at summarizing work notes and history, saving me time in understanding complex tickets. The Security Operations integration and Risk & Compliance mapping are helpful in mapping vulnerabilities to IT assets and aligning technical tasks with regulatory requirements. Additionally, integrating ServiceNow IT Service Management with tools like Slack and AWS creates a seamless workflow, automating everything from incident alerts to user access provisioning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ServiceNow IT Service Management?

The centralized system can be an overload of information, which might make it challenging for new users to navigate different sections. Also, with the complexity of workflows that can be added, there is a risk of over-engineering them, making regression testing of custom scripts overly complex. This creates a bottleneck where users might prefer emails or messaging services over the system for doing real work, thus defeating the purpose of a centralized solution. Setting up ServiceNow IT Service Management is a major undertaking and not a plug-and-play solution, especially configuring the CMDB, which is difficult without a dedicated implementation partner.
