Provides comprehensive visibility into the environment and cloud version streamlines productivity by automatically collecting information and updates
I like Cloud Neurons. Since it's a cloud version, it's much easier to enhance productivity because it collects all the information automatically. So, when there are new updates, we don't need to log in internally or to the cloud; they're automatically pulled. Also, because of the cloud, we have the flexibility to make changes without downloading everything on-premises. We can have the scan done from the cloud, and Ivanti provides an overview of what's assisting with your request, purchase, update, or collection of static versions from the device. They can get it, push it, and then we continue to the next stage.

Affordable, reliable, API driven, and literally peerless among its competition
The biggest area for improvement with PagerDuty is noise suppression. There have been a handful of incidents through our use of PagerDuty over the years where one incident may lead to 30 to 50 pages because you're monitoring all these different things, and each thing is an individual page. There should be the ability to set up paging tiers and group correlations between some of the different pages. That is something that would be really valuable. We should be able to say this one page may have a group or a tree of effective other pages that may tier off of it. So, if you see those pages independently, go ahead and alarm, but if you see this plus that, don't do that.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is easy to set up."
"The main feature for us is incident management, as it assists me in knowing my assignments, because we have group assignments. When we go to the group assignment they can assign it to me there."
"HEAT Service Management is good for asset and service desk management. It is the focal point for this solution."
"It is relatively cost-effective compared to other options like ServiceNow. Additionally, it is highly stable."
"Overall, the platform, in its abilities, is really powerful, especially now with AI as a part of hyper-automation."
"I like Cloud Neurons. Since it's a cloud version, it's much easier to enhance productivity because it collects all the information automatically."
"The integrations are quite simple and clear."
"The solution's technical support is excellent. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"Notification is the most valuable feature."
"The product easily integrates with other solutions."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"PagerDuty's best features are the dedicated application that allows me to reach my engineers immediately and the ability to directly assign specific tasks to individuals and have them report back."
"The most valuable features of PagerDuty are customization, access, policies, and different rules regarding the path of escalation. Additionally, it's easy to use and create overrides. For example, if you all are on a call for one week each, but somebody wants to go on PTO, the team needs to swap shifts in PagerDuty. This is easy to do by creating overrides to switch up the set schedules. It's very user-friendly in that aspect. It works well for monitoring and alerting."
"The product has valuable on-call scheduling, escalation, and incident workflow management features."
"A cool feature is that it helps us to understand the flow of the alert. If the alert was coming to the current on-call and he didn't catch the call or didn't notice it for any reason, it starts being escalated automatically, according to the escalation schedule, or to other teammates. You can see the flow very easily on your phone or via the website, if you want to do a post-mortem."
"The initial setup is a simple process."
 

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."
"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."
"We'd like more integration with solutions like SolarWinds."
"The user interface must be made simpler and more effective."
"There's a lack of integration with other products. This needs to be improved."
"There is room for improvement in terms of response time. The support team takes a long time to respond."
"The patching for non-Windows OSes such as Linux is poor."
"Configuration requirements are extensive, even in basic Service Desk processes."
"It’s quite hard to reach the support team."
"I am not a direct end user of PagerDuty. It's hard to consider its shortcomings in that sense."
"PagerDuty should be integrated with other tools, so it can import the IT roster automatically. Our other rules continue to work once they're configured, but the roster must be added manually."
"I would like the UI to be more intuitive. I would like to be able to group or color-code the discoveries. When you create a system, you have a listing of all the different configurations. You can list them by teams, but some additional color coding would be helpful. I would break it down by incident controls. In other words, it should be broken down it into response teams and engineering divisions."
"PagerDuty's webhooks need some improvement."
"PagerDuty could improve the event orchestration by enhancing features, such as easier condition setup inside the orchestration."
"The solution does not code all alerts correctly so sometimes you get false positives or multiple alerts for the same issue."
"The biggest area for improvement with PagerDuty is noise suppression. There have been a handful of incidents through our use of PagerDuty over the years where one incident may lead to 30 to 50 pages because you're monitoring all these different things, and each thing is an individual page. There should be the ability to set up paging tiers and group correlations between some of the different pages. That is something that would be really valuable. We should be able to say this one page may have a group or a tree of effective other pages that may tier off of it. So, if you see those pages independently, go ahead and alarm, but if you see this plus that, don't do that."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is on the higher side. The support is included in the standard licensing fees."
"The product is affordable for small businesses."
"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."
"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."
"PagerDuty has monthly and yearly licenses available, the costs of which can get quite high if you have a large number of users."
"If you add more people, then you have to pay more, which is always a thing with the SaaS solutions."
"Licensing costs are around $700 a month, and the only additional costs, are phone costs in some instances."
"If we wanted phone calls or additional SMSs, we would have to pitch up for those. They give us so many per month per user, then we have to pay extra if it goes over that."
"There is a license needed to use PagerDuty."
"They're very good in pricing compared to the competitors in the area. I would rate them a five out of five in terms of pricing."
"The cost is based on the package you select."
"The price is very high."
