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

“The platform helps teams improve efficiency by automating approvals, routing requests, and managing incidents in a structured way.”
EV

Edwin V.

Dev Manager

“Regular patches and platform updates show that the product continues to evolve. While the learning curve and cost can be challenging, the long-term benefits in productivity, visibility, and process improvement make ServiceNow a valuable enterprise platform.”
EV

Edwin V.

Dev Manager

Pros

“It helps to do the case routing assignment and also the issue resolution can be automated, by freeing up agents to get more focus on bigger problems”
SB

Sachita B.

Certification course

“Between the chat functionality, call management, security, use cases for small to large businesses, and its high level of customizability...it's hard to beat this. While it does come at a premium cost, the sky is the limit with what it can do.”

AJ G.

Salesforce Administrator

“I used the platform to organize information, document communications, and ensure timely follow-up on tasks.”
KL

Kate L.

Sales

Cons

“Certain processes may involve multiple steps or screens, which can make simple requests feel less efficient.”
FG

Fernando G.

Talent Acquisition

“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

Cons

“I am not responsible for purchasing software, so I don't know how much Salesforce costs, but that seems to be a barrier within our company for how many people can have accounts, which is my least favorite thing about Salesforce.”
JT

Jeana T.

Executive Director

“If there is any downtime or issues with the system, this effectively brings the customers support requirements to a halt”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Claire E.

Sales manager

“I don't like how it's inefficient in the way it displays information where it's not customizable enough for only focusing on essential info without scrolling and switching tabs.”
