ServiceNow's AI Control Tower provides a strong governance workflow and system of action for enterprise AI. However, customer interviews reveal that claims of end-to-end technical governance and a universal runtime kill switch are overstated, with runtime enforcement typically handled by external or custom tools. Additionally, customers face meaningful friction regarding configuration costs, CMDB hygiene, and pricing tier uplifts.
