Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for ServiceNow yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment and per category, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By model

How each model treated ServiceNow across every prompt where it was named for a mid-market B2B company. Fourteen models, six prompts per category.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“I'd suggest starting with Confluence or ServiceNow if you need comprehensive IT asset management alongside knowledge documentation.” MiniMax M2.5 · IT documentation · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“ServiceNow is the top overall choice when you want document processing woven into a broader enterprise workflow platform.” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Document processing · comparative prompt · first choice
“ServiceNow (strong ITSM integration)” MiniMax M2.5 · DEX · scale prompt · alternative

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“High complexity and heavy configuration make it not a good fit for agile or ops-led teams” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Orchestration · negative prompt · hard negative
“ITSM platforms were not built for full certificate lifecycle management.” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Certificate management · negative prompt · hard negative
“Tool to avoid: ServiceNow, ActiveBatch (for SMBs/Startups)” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Orchestration · negative prompt · hard negative
“ServiceNow, Salesforce, Slack, and Microsoft 365 Copilot all had critical AI-specific vulnerabilities with CVSS scores above 9.0.” Muse Glimmer 30B · AI security · negative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named ServiceNow. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 63 of the 69 answers that named ServiceNow and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page servicenow.com exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated. An event counts as online when its address or title says so (webinar, on demand, virtual or online summit); a conference, summit, trade show, expo or roadshow that does not say so is counted as a conference or event, which on a vendor's site is mostly in person.

Is this your product?

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when ServiceNow's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as ServiceNow, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives

A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for ServiceNow by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

  • where ServiceNow is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
  • the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
  • its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
  • who was chosen in the answers that did not name ServiceNow, and every reason the record gives;
  • a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
  • one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.
The subscriber app

A verification link goes to your work email; an address at servicenow.com is approved on the spot, any other is reviewed by hand. Your email is never published. Claiming gives no say over labels, shares, verdicts or which quotes appear.
