It boggles me that ServiceNow succeeds even though their most ubiquitous product, IT Service Management, is also their worst. There are less half-baked products besides the ticketing system.
For example, the IT Operations Management suite includes tools to collect specifications about devices without installing an agent, aggregate alerts to better assess outage impacts, and automatically generate topology maps by analyzing network traffic. It's a wholly different product that justifies some weird design decisions in the Incident/Change system, but it can help explain where Lightstep falls in the ecosystem.

- hrpnk 5y agoGiven ITSM their weak spot - what's a good alternative for IT Service Management?
- gomox 5y agoUsual suspects are Freshservice, Jira Service Desk and our (very) own InvGate Service Desk (demo instance link below because how can I not pitch my own product??). https://webdemo.cloud.invgate.net/ https://webdemo.cloud.invgate.net/
