Deciding between Zendesk and Servicenow. Any feedback on either here? I am in a mid size org.

Both are good platforms though Zendesk is easier to integrate in omn-channel collaboration ecosystem

Zendesk will work as a help desk solution. Service Now should be consider as an "ERP lite" and has the potential to deliver more than just basic ITSM.

I second @Hollar’s view, given the organisation size zen desk could be a good option if not looking beyond itsm features.

Zendesk for customers , others including service now for internal.

Zendesk has some really interesting AI too!

Depends on your requirements. If you just want a ticketing system for ITSM, Zendesk is probably the way to go. ServiceNow is great, but it can do so much that I almost lump it into the "ERP" category.

ZenDesk is user friendly

It really depends on what your end goals are. The solutions are secondary compared to your requirements. Do you want just a ticketing system? Do you also want a knowledge base for your team and those you serve for the option of self-service? Do you want change management? Do you want a purchasing module? Do you want incident and problem management? Are you willing to try open source products? Also, given the big financial difference in the two products you selected, what kind of budget do you actually have? I would suggest looking at a few more products if you have all of your requirements laid out.

I've used http://www.opsmartcm.com/ and have been very pleased with the CMDB & ITSM capability.   SNOW typically ends up being very $$.

Without a doubt - Technical Debt! It's a ball and chain that creates an ever increasing drag on any organization, stifles innovation, and prevents transformation.
