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

I've used three different versions of ManageEngine's ServiceDesk Plus ITSM tool and all of them, to varying degrees, were ultimately dissatisfying. While there are some positives, overall it has felt clunky, disjointed, and, for lack of a better word, like it is not a modern tool.Read all insights and reviews for ServiceDesk Plus

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

My experience with SolarWinds Service Desk has been smooth. It brings structure to our IT operations and helps the team stay on top of issues without getting overwhelmed. The ability to track, prioritize and resolve requests all in one system has made a big difference even though there are a few areas that could be improved like setup complexity but the platform continues to support our workflow and keep things moving efficiently. Its a practical tool that fits well into our day-to-day work.Read all insights and reviews for SolarWinds Service Desk

Freshservice is amazing and very user friendly and intuitive. There are a few items that I would suggest finishing up, as sometimes it seems that the product is not fully developed. I would say it about 95% of the way there, but there are a lot of tiny nuances. Not a deal breaker and doesn't hurt the score, but some clear missed opportunities. Overall, love this product and I'm an advocate for it and want to see it succeed. Be prepared to spend a lot of time configuring over the promised 8-16 weeks, and if you're a large org, you will spend much more time setting up, regardless of 3rd party support.Read all insights and reviews for Freshservice
