Where Halo makes the difference
The strongest comparison goes beyond whether a feature exists. What matters is how you buy it, when you can use it and how it supports the next stage of your service operation.

| Your priority | HaloITSM / Halo | ServiceNow ITSM | Why choose Halo |
|---|---|---|---|
| Straightforward licensing | One per-agent model with no feature editions. | Foundation, Advanced and Prime packages, with different entitlements. | Simpler purchasing: less need to map your requirements against an edition ladder. |
| Mature ITSM processes | Problem, change and major incident management included as standard. | These processes are listed in Advanced, above Foundation. | Room to mature: adopt these processes without an edition upgrade to unlock them. |
| Asset and configuration visibility | CMDB and asset discovery listed among included capabilities. | Asset Management and CMDB appear in Foundation; additional discovery requirements need scope confirmation. | Clearer scope: start with Halo’s included asset and configuration capabilities and map your discovery requirements in the assessment. |
| AI adoption | AI agents, triage and suggested replies listed as included. | AI is offered across the packages, with capabilities varying by tier. | Fewer edition decisions: evaluate Halo’s listed AI tools within its inclusive model. |
| Budget visibility | Published pricing calculator and named or concurrent licence options. | Custom quotation for the selected package. | A clearer starting point: model Halo licensing before agreeing the complete delivery scope. |

Confirm licence terms, AI usage or provider charges, discovery coverage and third-party services in the proposal. Halo onboarding is required and separately priced according to scope.

Turn your next renewal into a Halo business case
A renewal is an opportunity to ask whether your investment still delivers the value you need. Bring your current ServiceNow scope and costs to Stratwyze. We will assess the Halo alternative against the workflows, integrations and service outcomes that matter to your business.
- Identify the opportunity: map your required processes to Halo and demonstrate the priority workflows.
- Make the costs clear: itemise licensing, onboarding, migration, integrations and ongoing support.
- Plan the transition: agree data ownership, testing, training and cutover responsibilities.
- Build for the next stage: establish who will administer Halo and improve services after launch.
The result is a practical proposal showing where Halo can deliver better value for your organisation, with costs and responsibilities visible before you commit.

Your questions about choosing Halo
Why choose HaloITSM over ServiceNow?
Halo is a compelling choice when you want comprehensive ITSM and simpler commercial packaging. Its inclusive model removes edition upgrades as a barrier to adopting core processes such as problem, change and major incident management. Stratwyze can demonstrate how that fits your requirements.
Can Halo reduce our ServiceNow costs?
There is a documented example: Halo reports that inlumi reduced licensing costs by 30% after switching. Your opportunity depends on your contract, requirements and migration scope. We will build a comparison covering both recurring and one-off costs.
Can we move an established ServiceNow environment to Halo?
Yes. Wolseley and inlumi are published examples of organisations making the move. We will assess your data, integrations and workflows, then propose a phased transition with testing and agreed acceptance criteria.
