We use ServiceNow for configuration management. We're currently setting up the CMDB as well as the help desk.

Has good flexibility, we can modify it to do what we need it to do
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
Flexibility is the most valuable feature of ServiceNow, that is, being able to modify it to do what we need it to do.
What needs improvement?
The biggest complaint I have is that the ServiceNow search engine is not very robust. The term has to be typed correctly. It has to be exact. For example, if you misspelled a term in Google, it will give you suggestions indicating that this is what you may have been looking for. ServiceNow does not do that. I would like to see something like that. It would make it a lot better and a lot easier to use.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using ServiceNow in total for about four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution has not gone down yet.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
So far, the scalability has been very good. We have not run into anything that we can't do yet.
What about the implementation team?
We hired a company to do the initial deployment.
What other advice do I have?
My advice would be to have a good plan to start with. There's a lot you can do with ServiceNow. Therefore, plan out what you want to do, and then you can always revise your plan. Don't go in there blind, but know what it can do.
On a scale from one to ten, I would rate ServiceNow at eight. I'm very satisfied with it, but there's always room for improvement.
The workspace feature helps us manage multiple projects, but it's not as user-friendly as some solutions
What is our primary use case?
I work in the compliance department at my company, and we use ServiceNow to manage our team members' tasks.
How has it helped my organization?
ServiceNow helps us deliver projects on schedule. When we start a new project, we share the deadlines with the various team members, and they perform their assigned tasks.
What is most valuable?
I like ServiceNow's Workspace feature. With Jira, we had to edit a ticket by going into it. We couldn't perform edits from within the project plan. ServiceNow allows you to edit everything from one screen. It's like an Excel spreadsheet, but Jira requires you to drill down into the ticket. ServiceNow is more convenient if you are working on multiple projects and workflows.
What needs improvement?
We can't update bulk tickets using a simple query language. Jira lets us update hundreds of tickets with one command. In ServiceNow, you need to select each task separately to close them. The dashboards could also be more user-friendly. Monday.com has better dashboards.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have used ServiceNow for a month and a half.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate ServiceNow nine out of 10 for stability. We haven't had any downtime except for platform maintenance and upgrades.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I rate ServiceNow 10 out of 10 for scalability. ServiceNow is a highly scalable platform that can work for large enterprise. We have around 1,000 employees, and we use it heavily. Scalability is never an issue.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We previously used Jira and Monday. Monday is user-friendly and interactive. It's more appropriate for beginners. ServiceNow is better for professional teams who have some knowledge and experience. Monday is accessible and intuitive. It's easy to create dashboards,
How was the initial setup?
I wasn't part of the deployment, but I believe it was straightforward because ServiceNow is a cloud-based application. The initial planning took about three months, but the deployment only took one or two weeks.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I rate ServiceNow eight out of 10. It's too expensive.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We're currently considering Microsoft's SharePoint portal.
What other advice do I have?
I rate ServiceNow seven out of 10. ServiceNow is better than competing solutions we've used like Jira and Monday.com, and they're working hard to improve organizational processes. They're doing a great job. I would recommend them. Their technical support and deployment team are better than the solution itself. They understand how to refine processes to help you perform better.

How was the initial setup?
