ServiceNow Customer Service Management

Using SNow since 2012

Kommentare: 99.9% of the work I do every day is linked to either accessing Service Now or working on data produced by SNow. Using SNow for as long as I have, has made me confident in choosing to continue renewal. I have to admit that licencing model changes and yearly negotiations are painful but that is all part of the environment we work in.

Vorteile:

The fact that the software is widely versatile and scalable for the needs of an organisation. It can use beyond IT but in every department in our organisation as it offers automation of business tasks as well as good reporting and analysis tools. HR processes, Self Service, Approvals, Confidential reporting, schedule reporting and automating routine work, asset management and discovery.

Nachteile:

The fact that I can not imbed linksBut also think is mostly geared to large organisations. I have not found it to be possible for a small company to take advantage of this service (price plan and configuration is beyond the capabilities for a small company to take, which is a shame).

Service Now -tools to use for Ticket management

Kommentare: 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.

Vorteile:

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.

Nachteile:

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.

Poor Interface - Too Much Bean Counting and Not Enough Cooking the Meal

Kommentare: 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.

Vorteile:

To its defense, it does process requests without delay.

Nachteile:

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.

Complete Package

Kommentare: 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.

Vorteile:

The ServiceNow CSM modules offer a full suite of features for customer management. The product is easy to use and extremely flexible.

Nachteile:

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.

ServiceNow CSM - A customer centric tool/People Management

Kommentare: The OOB system itself is configured with the right solutions that the customer wants. Apart from that, we can customize anything with the help of developers. The system will work seamlessly though.

Vorteile:

Customer & Consumers, and Contacts management was handled pretty well. People Management is most valuable to provide services accordingly. The integration is seamless hence it provides APIs to make easier.

Nachteile:

The scheduled tasks feature is sometimes buggy in our current version; however we have been provided great support getting this resolved.

ServiceNow is premier and get better with every release

Kommentare: Overall an excellent product.

Vorteile:

Highly scalable and provides modular solutions for implementing service based best practices across the enterprise. Initially focused on ITIL it has expanded to include ITOM, ITSM, and ITBM functions. Out of the box solutions for other areas of the enterprise including HR, Security, Governance, Finance, and CSR. The platform itself allows development using standard web technologies and programming skills and they offer a vast documentation library and vibrant community of developers and users. Their support is top notch and they are always quick to respond.

Nachteile:

Their pricing model is complex and unwieldy. It can be very hard to determine which features you actually have access to. Some of the features which seem like they should be part of the base product functionality are split into sub-modules at additional cost. This can give the impression that you are being nickeled and dimed for every little feature. Inquiring about instance capabilities of technical staff is always referred to your sales rep. Early adopters who did a lot of customization can find themselves in a lot technical debt prior to ServiceNow’s current guidance of best practices. Some of the earlier product design decisions have sometimes forced compromises to be implemented for product growth. This can create some ambiguous methods non-intuitive workarounds to be employed in development. Their documentation can be somewhat sparse on examples or use cases for particular API or feature specific applications. Finally, since the product can become the core of so many areas of the enterprise, it can require quite a large investment in support resources and it requires these resources to understand SaaS management differences vs traditional application support development.

Great for assigning jobs and direct communication; dense UI missing common features

Kommentare: 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.

Vorteile:

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.

Nachteile:

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.

Great tool for tickets management

Kommentare: Quite a good tool. There are other tools that are available right now that does almost the same job. ServiceNow needs innovate fast. From the few months i've used the system, I've never got any major issues.

Vorteile:

Easy to know which tickets me or my team have been assigned to. Setting up dashboards can be tricky but once they have been set, we can easily identify the workload for the week.

Nachteile:

Quite complex to set up dashboards, this needs to be simplified. The website can be slow at times and finding a specific keywords on a ticket can be difficult at times.

Servicenow review

Kommentare: Other than ticket encryption, everything is good in servicenow what a company truely desirea

Vorteile:

Its easy, simple to use. Visibility for both team and customer Easy to work notes and create change, request etc

Encryption could be better. Anyone can check the ticket and comment and what not.. So here its lagging

ServiceNow

Kommentare: Overall a good and Wonderfull experience.

Vorteile:

I have been using ServiceNow almost everyday for more than 2 years which is really user friendly. Initially It has been very easy to navigate and locate previous tickets on this software. I used ServiceNow as a ticking tool, where my team used to to review the ticket sent by the previous team and add remarks and validation as and when needed, it was a very nice tool to track the overall productivity of the team.

Nachteile:

I did face starting doing the starting phase as navigating and learning the options took me some time. I would like to enhance more features such as feedbacks, larger vol of data can be saved and customer satisfaction feedbacks which would help the team validity and increase the overall performance.

My Experience using ServiceNow Customer ServiceNow Customer Service Management

Traditional Incident And Change Management Tool.

Kommentare: Service now does it's job. Helps you to be on top of tickets and help you in change management. However the product fails to give a modern look and feel. The BI capabilities offered are not great as of now.

Vorteile:

It caters all the features of IT service management. So on it's own it is pretty complete suite for Incident, Task and Change management.

Nachteile:

The look and feel is way too old school. Some work on the UI in future releases would improve the experience for sure

Sometimes it offers too much and you can get lost in the forest.
