I have had an overwhelmingly positive experience with ServiceNow, having used it almost continuously across various organizations. We primarily utilize it as an ITSM tool for managing all aspects of ticketing, both internal and external customer tickets. It is integral to our product development processes, easing all our agile workflows and project management needs, despite some agile project execution also happening on Jira for specific parts. My experiences involved tools which were popular at the time, but ServiceNow quickly displaced it in the market due to its inherent strengths. It offers remarkable flexibility, enabling the creation of diverse reports such as incident reports and release management reports. It supports various project management methodologies, with agile capabilities added later. Essential ITSM modules like project management, incident management, change management, and release management are effectively handled within the platform. An advantage is the ease of use and the speed of its web-based interface, which I have found to be very fast with no lack. The reporting functionality is strong, offering robust filters that allow users to slice & dice data to generate comprehensive reports for both personal use and management presentations. ServiceNow also provides many templates, which significantly streamline setup by eliminating the need to configure the entire system from scratch. The customization capabilities are a significant differentiator, allowing the product to be tailored to a very high degree, essentially becoming "kind of your own tool". For example, when implementing scrum within an agile methodology, ServiceNow enables users to design their own workflows, from backlog management to story selection, rather than being confined to rigid, standard frameworks provided by other tools. For our organization, it is beneficial and easy to maintain. I believe it is the best ITSM tool currently available in the market. Read all insights and reviews for ServiceNow IT Service Management

Topdesk is our main ticketing tool where user can log their ticket via email or via the self service portal. Our experience isn't that great seeing as we need to hire a consultant every time we need a change to the system. There seems to be no build-in ITIL framework. Change management is inexistent as we needed someone to build it up from scratch.Read all insights and reviews for TOPdesk

Freshworks has been our ITSM platform for 3 years, and the entire time has been a dream. They have enabled every vision we've had, and given us direction when we were trying to find out the best way forward with ITIL-based practices, without being rigid. The balance of structure along with flexibility is perfect for our higher education environment where we need to be responsive to individuality.Read all insights and reviews for Freshservice

I've heard great responses from end users for the ease of use. On the other hand, it has done a terrible job of dealing with the form population. We had trouble with accountability and development early on. After kicking up our concerns we had a team pulled together to address concerns and were able to make progress toward a resolution.
