There is some lag time when utilizing the dashboard, but I'm sure this will be addressed in a future update. In addition, I think the report function may use some tweaks.
ServiceNow is very advanced tool but very expensive.

Great Ticketing Management Software
Comments: Using ServiceNow is nice and it's fairly organized and clean looking. I use it occasionally to enter tickets and it's pretty easy for me to track the progress. If anything changes, it notifies me via email. I haven't used any advanced tools, like the analytics, but I imagine it's quite handy for supervisors.
Pros:
Lots of options when managing service tickets. This software is flexible enough for IT, HR, and other departments to be grouped into one as long as you are granted the access to see them. The UI for the web app is nice and simple. There are some decent dashboards already built in for you to choose.
Cons:
There are too many options listed in the All menu. Most of them I don't use so I have to favorite certain menus and ignore the rest.
