Pega's licensing is very expensive.
Chose TIBCO® BPM Enterprise
I have never used competing products, but experience in using Tibco BusinessWorks has helped to process BPM processes because it is possible to use the TIBCO logic learned during the experience over the years.
Chose TIBCO® BPM Enterprise
For BPM we looked at some IBM products suites, BPM Online, Oracle products and Pega Systems. The decision to go with AMX BPM was based on the evaluation by the software architect team and the cost of acquiring the TIBCO suites.
Chose TIBCO® BPM Enterprise
In addition to TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM 4.X I have never tried other similar products.
Chose TIBCO® BPM Enterprise
PegaRules Process Commander is much easier to configure the rules, and it follows a effective Class structure in background. All though BPM has a BOM, it is sometimes difficult to modify BOM once it is deployed.

TIBCO is quite user-friendly with minimal coding and hence strongly recommended.

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 is well suited for high-level analytics or real-time integration among multiple applications. But it's powerful and over complicated and expensive for most small and midsize BPM projects. BPM is used for visual data discovery. It also has two stream analytics CEP Platforms. It offers high-level real-time analytics and operational intelligence.

Pros
  • 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.

  • Assign work items to set of users. You can assign work to users based on the groups they belong to in the org model or by their position.
  • Manage user access and privileges, each set of users can perform a set of tasks based on their privileges and we can also restrict the actions for each level of users.
  • Escalating work items: A user can escalate a work item to a senior user and the matter can be progressed to another level or get closed straight away. The life cycle of work items is stored in the database where it gets reflected in Spotfire reports.

Cons
  • 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.

Likelihood to Renew
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.

Usability
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.

Implementation Rating
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.

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.

Return on Investment
  • 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
