The ServiceNow Now Platform is a digital workflow building and extension tool for ServiceNow featuring a number of low-code / no code tools.
I have experience with react and react native. I would say that the idea behind all those frameworks are quite similar. However, I found the javascript-based frameworks a bit more accessible as you could utilise your javascript knowledge. Here, Flutter works with its own …
- Like it better than other solutions, or building native on both platforms. - React Native has a good advantage with language and amazing web support. - React Native is easier to jump in for web engineers.
I have not used Dev Express Universal and Selenium Web Driver much besides in the demos that were provided to our company. We compared the demos and went with Google Flutter because it worked well and looked noticeably better than the other products. While I am unsure of the …
Flutter is a bit different from Android Studio, the latter one being an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) while Flutter itself is a Cross-Platform Mobile Development SDK (Software Development Kit). Flutter provides the access to the native features and built-in plugins …
I selected Flutter because of Flutter's awesome, pre-build UI components. It makes my life as an indie dev easy and fun. At the time, I had never built an application with React Native, so this was a fantastic introduction to cross-platform development. That said, as someone …
I think that Flutter is now much better than Microsoft's Xamarin and the old Apache Cordova. I was able to go from a concept design to a working application in almost no time and with almost no experience with Dart at all. It helps (but it is not a requirement) to have some …
Way less tweaking to have a cross-platform experience, better performance, and feels more like a native app. But the community, while growing, is still smaller than React Native. This can cause issues with specific use cases as it's harder to find help online.
React Native seemed like a comparable and equally valid choice to Flutter. Performance, ease of development, and support are roughly equal between the two products. Dart, to me, felt easier to work with than Javascript or Typescript. Flutter SDK tools and VSCode extensions made …
The app generated by Flutter doesn't change upon OS versions as in native apps or other cross-platform apps. The running speed of apps is much faster than its competitors like react-native and Cordova. It's lightweight and faster to compare to other cross-platform. The hot …
The main alternative to Flutter I have experience with, is Qt framework. For a long time, Qt was the go-to if you wanted a cross platform desktop application, probably written in C++ or Python, that could take on the 'look and feel' of the target platform. However, Qt is …
I used ConnectWise previously as a ticketing module prior to a company acquisition where our new parent company moved us from ConnectWise to ServiceNow Now Platform because it was the tool they were using. All of our core functionality remained in moving between the tools, …
The ServiceNow Now Platform is more customizable to meet your organization's specific needs and expectations. However, if you need a system that is already specialized for a specific application, you may choose something else like IBM solution. A good price offer or partnership …
After running with the BMC platform for over a decade, we switched to ServiceNow Now Platform for multiple reasons. It's placement over BMC in the Gartner Magic Quadrent, it's ease of use and development were among the top reasons. In my opinion, BMC has not aged/grown well …
ServiceNow is by far a better tool over Remedy. Its ability to integrate so seamlessly to so many tools allows for plenty of opportunity to streamline and improve processes. Servicenow has intuitive flows that allow you to quickly pivot if process change. Its adaptiveness is …
When I assumed my territory (Brazil) at Nuvolax, ServiceNow Now Platform was already implemented, so I haven't had the choice to participate in the selection of the tool. Still, I can compare with other tools I had to use in my previous companies. With ServiceNow Now Platform, …
In the past, I've used Remedy and the organization was using Spiceworks for years. I was so used to those platforms that when we started the search, I was honestly, completely biased towards those two. After comparing features side by side, going through user trials and …
ServiceNow was chosen as replacement for Microsoft Project , due to better licensing model, more flexible configuration of the project stages and components, better API with Azure DevOps. Also ServiceNow is best in the area of Incident and Service management systems and the …
I've used Freshservice which is very similar to ServiceNow. I can definitely say ServiceNow performs better in a larger environment. Freshservice is usually used in smaller organization or less complx environment. Plus the ServiceNow reporting and dashboard features are more …
Flutter is well known for native app development, if you have android studio installed on your system, you can quickly start using it. This might not be the best choice for you if you do not wish to learn a new language, i.e. Dart and you do not know it already.
Using it in the application support team is worth it as it is capable of carrying a lot of information. But using it for a Service Desk operation might not be of much use as it won't be used up to its full potential and will be costly as compared to other alternatives available in the market.
It helps put manage the request really well. It is easier to create a request, track the request and manage the request. It doesn't get lost into a pile of requests.
We've already pre-setted some settings into our ServiceNow. So it automatically assigns the level of urgency and mentions on the ticke if its a high or low priority request.
I really like the ServiceNow dashboards. They ate setup in a really nice way. The dashboards show the real time data aswell as old data incase if we need to see if there is a pattetn in the request or to fix any recurring issue.
Occasionally updates to the Flutter SDK result in wide-sweeping changes that seem to not be thoroughly tested and considered. Flutter sometimes evolves too fast for its own good.
While the 3rd-party Flutter package ecosystem is vast and rich, 1st-party support for basic things (audio/video playback, battery information, Bluetooth services, etc.) are lacking. You are occasionally forced to rely on an open-source package for use-cases that other platforms have native support for.
Documentation, particularly around testing, is lacking. While there are some great docs, like the Dart Style Guide, many Flutter-focused support documents are lacking in quality and real-world usability.
Flutter allows you to architect an app however you want. While this is a great feature, it also adds complexity and leads to the current state of Flutter's state management, where there are 50+ options on how to organize your app, with very little official guidance or recommendations from the Flutter team. For a beginner, this can create decision paralysis.
Providing admins/devs with easier mechanisms for providing businss stakeholders with self-service admin capabilities across the platform
Tutorials on how to be the best at reporting in servicenow
Guided tour functionaltiy is a bit rigid and could use more workflow capabilities
Making it easier to push form variables to the user so there is more context when providing an approval. The out of box approval UI/form is terrible in my opinion.
While we are very likely to renew, we are also assessing if we should renew all of what we currently subscribe to as we try to reduce costs. Some parts of the business feel there may be a better tool out there to fit their process requirements. We are currently working with them to identify what those requirements are to see if it makes sense while also pointing out a reduced cost of tooling is not always the best fit if we have an increased cost of customization and maintenance between tools.
ServiceNow is a web platform that does not require any installation on a customer's computer. It is very easy to use and it is user-friendly. The customer started to open incidents very fast without investing time and money in training. Customer loves the dashboard at the startup where they can see all their open incidents or look at KB articles for any issue.
The platform is provided as a SaaS solution and support from the vendor has been good. There are regular software releases with bug fixes, new features and enhancements, and furthermore we are given the opportunity to fully test these before rolling these new releases out into the production environment to minimise the risk of business disruption
We went through a re-implementation last year with a partner and were very pleased with the outcome. We looked at several partners and chose one that was able to provide an entire scope and cost upfront of what would be required to complete our requirements. We worked very closely with the dedicated team assigned to our project throughout the process and they fully delivered on all of our requirements that we presented in the initial scope.
I have experience with react and React Native. I would say that the idea behind all those frameworks are quite similar. However, I found the javascript-based frameworks a bit more accessible as you could utilise your javascript knowledge. Here, Flutter works with its own language. This has advantages and disadvantages sometimes. I found the community around javascript frameworks bigger and therefore sometimes more helpful. However, Flutter does a good job here as well. I think the main argument for Flutter is its usability for less experienced developers. If you do not have knowledge in javascript or other programming languages then I think it is much easier to start with Flutter than with another framework like react. I think the package that you get form scratch is better than in the other frameworks were you have to set up and learn a lot more before you can start.
ServiceNow was chosen as replacement for Microsoft Project , due to better licensing model, more flexible configuration of the project stages and components, better API with Azure DevOps. Also ServiceNow is best in the area of Incident and Service management systems and the proof of concept with Jira and incident.io were not successful and we kept relying on ServiceNow. ServiceNow is much more scalable than MS Project for constantly growing enterprise companies for both employee and external contractor type personas.
The rapid development capabilities of Flutter allow us to build apps we could not have previously considered commercially viable, opening new revenue streams.
Free and open licensing made adoption very easy (ie. free/low cost!).
In comparison to Qt, our time spent arguing with build tools and perfecting development environments has decreased substantially.
The biggest positive impact ServiceNow has made to our organization is reduced IT support cost. When we didn't use ServiceNow, we needed a bigger support team. Now we don't need as many support employees.
The other positive impact that I've noticed is faster solutions to any problems. ServiceNow makes very easy to resolve IT issues, in a efficient way. The tickets are organized in a way that the higher priority tickets get worked on quicker.
The dashboard has also made the job easy to find a recurring problem from its core and fixing it forever so that we don't repeatedly get the same issues again and again
