Anoir LOUHICHI - PeerSpot reviewer
Integration flexibility and informative dashboards enable effective workflow management
Ivanti Neurons allows me to adjust our workflow according to our needs. It offers flexibility, integration with our solution, sends alerts, and provides information about service availability. The tool also allows me to manage partners and deal with recurrent incidents and errors. The interface, workflow, and dashboards are powerful and easy to manage for tracking KPIs and sharing strategies with our customers.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Primarily, I believe the focus lies on discovery, workflow configuration, and automation."
"This is an excellent alternative to ServiceNow for smaller companies."
"It is easy to set up."
"The interface, workflow, and dashboards are powerful and easy to manage for tracking KPIs and sharing strategies with our customers."
"HEAT Service Management is good for asset and service desk management. It is the focal point for this solution."
"The integrations are quite simple and clear."
"It is relatively cost-effective compared to other options like ServiceNow. Additionally, it is highly stable."
"The solution's technical support is excellent. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"It helps us to be able to have visibility into the overall performance of the servers, laptops, and desktops that we are managing currently."
"We can use it for remote monitoring, and it also works great as a troubleshooting tool. We are able to open up a command line or a PowerShell session remotely without having to disrupt the user. They have a limited network device monitoring capability, but for workstation servers, we have the event logs. We can do performance monitoring, system changes, software deployment, and patch management. We can also push scripts. It has a very simple web interface. There are no additional things to do there. Security is also pretty good. It does the same things that the other competitor's tools do. One of the advantages of Ninja is that they have a more capable mobile app, which allows you to see the alerts immediately. I get alerted to major critical issues."
"The policies are probably the most valuable features. They're similar in function to Microsoft group policies where we can have it monitor certain things or push out software on a schedule. I would rate the policies eight out of 10. They're robust, I could monitor most of the things that Windows Performance Monitoring keeps tabs on."
"The most valuable features of NinjaOne include remote desktop management, support and assistive tools, and screen sharing."
"The most valuable feature we have found currently is probably patch management."
"The best feature of NinjaOne is the SLA system. Every IT person can check their performance, how long it takes to resolve an issue, and how many SLAs are breached."
"The most relevant feature is the monitoring, which provides built-in tools for sending commands."
"NinjaOne's best feature is its monitoring."
 

Cons

"Ivanti Neurons for ITSM's support model is not very strong. You should buy professional services. Its self-service portal and survey are extremely lacking. You cannot customize it, and it doesn't look very good. The solution does not have a strong community."
"Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is not a user-friendly tool when compared to ServiceNow."
"Sometimes I can't get the reports that I want until I go to the manager. They need to put more into the new reports. The standard reports are great, but there do not communicate as much."
"Perhaps one area that could see enhancement is at the hardware level, particularly regarding endpoint control."
"Support needs improvement in terms of responsiveness and timeliness."
"There is room for improvement in terms of response time. The support team takes a long time to respond."
"We'd like more integration with solutions like SolarWinds."
"I have had to open a few support tickets with the HEAT Service Management. They are very good but there are some areas that they could improve on."
"The NinjaOne distribution server is highly dependent on an active directory."
"NinjaOne's reporting module is cumbersome."
"I would like to see the software reduced to focus on inventory or remote help tools since many of its current functionalities are not needed."
"The network monitoring needs to be improved."
"I want NinjaOne to improve the reports."
"The remote connectivity could be better. It works most of the time, but sometimes, there are issues."
"NinjaOne's dashboard could be easier to use."
"The graphical user interface could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is affordable for small businesses."
"I came to know from my team members that my company used to operate ServiceNow but shifted to Ivanti Neurons for ITSM due to its low licensing prices."
"If you want to add more users who can handle support there will be additional fees. What we call our extensions, we need to pay more for. They tell us that we need to acquire more licenses or something like that. I think it's very expensive, because in terms the pula, our local currency, it's about 20,000 per license for each user. It is an annual fee."
"The price is on the higher side. The support is included in the standard licensing fees."
"NinjaOne's price is fine since my workplace is an educational institution, so we get the product at a really good price considering that we do not pay taxes, making the prices very fair and worth the product."
"Its pricing is great."
"I rate the solution’s pricing a five out of ten, where one is the lowest and ten is the most expensive."
"The product's pricing depends on the number of PCs or devices."
"The pricing is reasonable and cheaper than ConnectWise."
"We got a pretty good deal. It was fairly affordable."
"NinjaOne is a little expensive but is still cheaper than competitors like Acronis or Veeam."
"We currently pay $1.20 per device on a monthly basis."
