I think both pieces of software have their positives and negatives. In some ways I preferred ATOS as it had a lot more complex options for selecting what you were looking for, however, I found it more difficult to navigate. ServiceNow DevOps has felt a lot cleaner to move …

As mentioned previously, not sure if ServiceNow DevOps can handle tickets in an agile methodology, where everything is setup based on Sprints, stories and the whole agile terminology. We use OpsGenie to setup shifts for Production support teams, OpsGenie alerts people through …

Ambassador is really well suited for scenarios were you need to give power and freedom to your developers so they can take advantage of the self-service approach. One of the few scenarios I can not recommend using Ambassador is in the case you are planning to not using Kubernetes as it is a solution designed to work specifically on that platform

Well suited to plan and apply any applications using the DevOps technology. The application keeps track of all the different stages of an application built and provides adequate support.

  • I'd like to see more interaction with email. Once a ticket is closed I'd like to have an email come to me automatically and just be able to click on something to effectively close the ticket in ServiceNow DevOps after providing closing details
  • I'd like in certain exceptions to be able to open tickets with time in past.

Usability
It's great! it's amazingly simple to use and the best part is the self-service approach. I also like how easy it is to add a new route to a endpoint with the mappings definition.

Support Rating
Overall the support has been great and quick to answer the requests I've submitted in the past. I was originally using the community/open source version and I can't say it was the best experience I had, it wasn't terrible but it wasn't great. I believe the biggest issue was that they refer to the documentation a lot but the documentation isn't updated regularly so I feel it's lagging behind the most recent versions.
