Service Now -tools to use for Ticket management
I love the look and feel of service-Now.Support documentation and KB articles.If you have HI portal access then 80% of your problem is gone. Means you will get all the access for KB and documents which help you to understand any issue or product/ releases.Price is bit high but it is worthy to have Servicenow in your company.
Pros
first and formost point is, most the module is Workflow driven.for Juniors it is ease to use and learn.coding is minimal.you will get hell lot of examples from Web and Service-now communities to refer. APIs are readily available to integrate with any app.
Cons
if you report a problem or request for new feature then Servicenow team will take time to review that.then they will plan in their road Map may be it will come in next release like they have different release (helsinki/ geneva) or may be it will not come.this software they are keeping upto date so your team should have developers to fix the issue after each release.but i will say their product documentation is so so So good, it will help to understand and fix anything.

ServiceNow Not for Small and Medium Sized Businesses
When this was flagged to ServiceNow Management, they have washed their hands of it and said for me not to get my hopes up that they will do anything. It's clear that I am too small of a business for them to do anything for us. My only option now is litigation.
Pros
The PROMISED functionality is fine. They never got it to a functional state after a year of "implementation." I do not recommend ServiceNow for small and medium sized businesses because ServiceNow doesn't care about fulfilling their promises because losing a small business is no big deal.
Cons
I feel that ServiceNow lied to me. I was told that it could integrate with NetSuite, our ERP. ServiceNow referred us to one of their partners for implementation. We bought it in December of 2020. It is now December 2021, and the tool is still not implemented. On top of this, they are contacting me asking why I haven't paid for the second year of the service! We have not been able to actually use the tool once! We are too small of a company for Service Now to do anything about the issue.

Complete Package
We are using this ServiceNow CSM as our primary Customer Service tool and we are easily able to manage thousands of cases per day which we have found difficult when using other applications in the past.
Pros
The ServiceNow CSM modules offer a full suite of features for customer management. The product is easy to use and extremely flexible.
Cons
ServiceNow's easy of customization can also be its achilles heel. If managed improperly or over-customized it does not take long to make oob upgrade path unsustainable.

By adhering to key solutions, we have optimized all of our workforce processes and workflows, which has resulted in increased income and decreased expenses. Maximize profits by boosting efficiency and output across the board. To monitor progress and provide updates at any time, a dashboard and visual analytics are accessible.

Great for assigning jobs and direct communication; dense UI missing common features
Overall this is a fantastic product. It frees up developer resources by taking on administrative and organization responsibilities, connects end users with developers through a consistent interface with straightforward prompts that reduce communication errors and adhere to policies and prevents logjams and delays by implementing a normalizing the request and delivery process so task can be consistently assigned to the appropriate person based on workload, importance, resource needs, etc. The UI issues are irritating, but they do not reduce performance significantly, and they do not impede the product's superior performance with regards to the intended results.
Pros
All users work in the same interface, creating a pretty seamless pipeline between end users and departments that identify a need and the department and content manager responsible for the requestors need. ServiceNow handles most of the administrative duties, documentation, and organization for tasks/projects from step-by-step request submission, to manager approval, to task creation and delivery, ensuring timely communication and adherence to procedure, while freeing up development time.
Cons
Although the User Interface is straightforward for most tasks and consistent among all users, there are many rudimentary features that are either buggy or absent. For example, when a task is submitted, both a "request" and a "task" are assigned. They are identical and both must be filled out to close the job, but they do not interact with each other and one can be closed and the other open in the system. Similarly, there are no steps between completing and closing a task, but submitting a task as complete does nothing but refresh the page and change the "complete" option to "close." It doesn't not even populate the completion time.

"I Have Had Excellent Experience Using ServiceNow ITSM (Customer Service Management application...
ServiceNow ITSM has enabled the enterprise wide service management with effective tracking ability. The business users have end to end visibility into the incidents (INCs), requests (REQs), request items (RITMs), change requests (CHGs), Configuration items (CIs) etc. so that triaging of tickets becomes easier for both end users and help desk. Being Business Systems Analyst, I have had an opportunity to work closely with enterprise service desk to create configuration items (CIs) and publish knowledge base article (KBAs). Having ServiceNow ITSM implemented as service management system, I can easily make requests through the user-friendly cloud platform and view the updates of work being done against my requests.
Pros
I find this product user-friendly, tracking enabled and knowledge oriented. It's definitely better than other competing products in the market as it enforces standard ITIL practices.
Cons
I have not had such experience to dislike this product. being ITIL certified Analyst, I deem this product very appropriate to follow standard service management practices.

Poor Interface - Too Much Bean Counting and Not Enough Cooking the Meal
So far, ServiceNow is a distraction with no benefit. Unlikely ServiceNow will ever modernize their product. Every year is 1971 for them, with an IBM 3270 "green screen" interface.
Pros
To its defense, it does process requests without delay.
Cons
Poor user interface design. Lacks an understanding of human factors and fails to embrace modern technology.About the worst part is the designers show a very low interest in gathering the concern being discussed. When you finally get to "problem description," it's buried on page two in a small window that uses 6% of the available display. But that area cannot accept any cut/paste of screenshots.Bypassing this tool is often the best course when there is a need for problem description and subsequent analysis. Tools like Microsoft Word and Outlook do pretty well in letting a person express their concerns. ServiceNow is more like the CSR that asks annoying, irrelevant questions and shows no interest in the concern itself.

ServiceNow Customer Service Management- Review
Pros
The most impactful feature of it is customer ticketing management.
The way it is designed makes it very easy to work with customer and internal team at the same time.
The flow is designed very user-friendly and easy to use.
Cons
The least I like about the servicenow is the performance issue sometimes.
It gives problem when you start multiple sessions at a time and when you are working on multiple tickets with the customer, it is obvious that multiple sessions will be started.

Cons
The software can be a bit slow. The mobile version of the application is a bit slow as well, not sure if this is due to how our organization has it setup.

The best platform for Service Management
Pros
you can customize everything
you can change the OOTB version of the portal as you like with programming (in other softwares you have constraints due to the OOTB version)
The cloud allow you to easily access it everywhere and everytime; there is also an App
Cons
Cost, maybe if you are a small company you don't need that
App to be improved
Few OOTB customizations in front end; you need to change the code to customize the portal

A good tool for tracking and updating the status of the tickets.
Pros
The customer can check the status of the ticket from anywhere as this is an online tool for tracking tickets. There will be information about the developer who is working on the ticket and the customer can directly contact him.
Cons
The developer who is working on the ticket is responsible to update the status of the ticket. He can update the wrong status. There is no verification for what actually is happening and what is being upstated.

ServiceNOW does not live up to the promises it makes
my department has been using Service Now for almost a year and I have to say it is without a doubt the worst implementation I have ever been through. We were told that SN was "revolutionary" and "World Class". One year later here is a small list of the problems we still have
- unreliable and untrustworthy reporting
- we have yet to be told the advantages of using catalog request vs Incidents
- unwieldy interface that adds significant time to customer service
- unable to create meaningful dashboards
Pros
-in app email capability with notification of response
- allows cut and paste
- Knowledge system is easy to access and edit
Cons
- no product support to company I work for
- no SME's that can be contacted
- no ability to have email quick parts
- Search function is slow and and inefficient
- changes to service catalog take way too long

Implemented CRM across 44 countries in 4 languages
Replaced Remedy in les than 1 year
Pros
The out of the box config approach allowed us to design from a green field approach, no heavy detail requirements, kept thing light and flexible
Cons
Service now has an aggressive release Schedule that was hard for a large fortune 50 company to keep up with, while it is a best practice - hard for our culture to process.

Overall it’s good and better
Overall it’s better and suitable for mid level businesses
Pros
Daily using this for logging tickets and updating the flow and found it much better not best than other software
Easy to navigate for simply tracking or logging tickets and passing it on to other team with comments
New team members were able to learn it quickly with the help of documentation/articles which we can found easily in help and the design is user friendly from navigation point of view
Cons
Improvement is required in terms of performance as it gets stuck most of the time doing search for any member outside of our group or closed ticket

ServiceNow Has Great Capabilities, but Requires Lots of Training to Use
ServiceNow provides an efficient case management system that can be used across multiple tiers.
Pros
I like the built in features like SLA notifications, visibility into who completed each action on a case and tge dashboard to easily see what needs to be worked on. I know this will bring up future opportunities for efficiency that we never had with our prior case management system.
Cons
Searching for a specific item can be a little hard. Maybe I just need more training on how to do this.
