DISCLAIMER: I work for ServiceNow.

ServiceNow is a good product, and a very capable platform. If you want to 
customize/extend it yourself beyond basic configuration, it's extremely helpful 
to have someone (or a team) developing/managing those customizations. It may 
require a bit more care & feeding than initial setup if you want to extend 
schemas, develop your own tables, etc.

While it's out-of-the-box a service desk, a whole ITIL system, or even more 
depending on which parts of it you purchase, as a platform it can end up being 
a Web interface to a database storing anything you want it to. A lot of the 
complaints I've heard about the product can be traced back to hastily-coded or 
poorly-managed customizations and integrations.

We use our own product internally, and it works very well for our needs.
