Pros

“Its ability to centralize and automate workflows—everything from IT support tickets to HR and operations—making processes faster, more organized, and easier to manage in one platform.”
MW

Melinda W.

Owner

“ServiceNow provides strong workflow automation, customizable modules, and clear reporting, and its Change Management features make it easy to track, approve, and control changes consistently.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Jared S.

Software Developer and Consultant

“ServiceNow also helps organizations maintain better security practices through access controls, monitoring, and detailed records.”
EV

Edwin V.

Dev Manager

Pros

“Only a few minutes are required to setup the monitoring agents and we have pre-built integrations for cloud infrastructure that help our IT team to save a lot of manual configuration time.”
EA

Elizabeth A.

Systems Adninistrator

“It replaced stitching together separate metrics, logs, and tracing tools with one correlated platform, which shortened incident resolution and gave the team much better visibility into production.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Kaynan S.

Software Engineer

“Log searching andd data analysis are the strongpoints of Datadog - you can take an insane amount of data, and distill it quickly.”
DL

Drew L.

SR SYS Admin

Cons

“What I don’t like or like the least about service now is the interface is a bit complicated if you are not that technical especially the CSM or customer service management interface but other than that, everything is cool”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Gerrol C.

Client Operations Supervisor

“Whilst using ServiceNow, I do have connectivity issues occasionally where, I receive messages stating the conversation has timed out.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Tom E.

Senior Frontend Developer

“It lacks support for more native processes (like templates for common processes) so you can minimize custom code.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Sofia B.

Senior Test Engineer

Cons

“Pricing is the big drawback: costs can climb quickly and unpredictably as you add hosts, custom metrics, and log ingestion, so you have to actively manage what you send.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Kaynan S.

Software Engineer

“The sheer volume of features can also feel overwhelming at first, making it hard to know where to start without proper onboarding or documentation.”
RV

Rakhi V.

QA Lead

“The consequences can include loss of information (due to the developer interpreting the stakeholder's need / wish differently) or confusion (the developer having a tech focused mindset and language while the stakeholders do not)”
