"The initial setup was quite simple; installing just took a few minutes."
"Incident management is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable features of the Ivanti Service Desk are service requests and incident management."
"It is highly configurable with PinkVERIFY status."
"Incident management and service request management features are the most valuable."
"The best feature is that SLAs are automatically tracked, so when we breach something, we can set up email escalations as well."
"Ivanti offers us the flexibility to transform it from purely an internal IT tool to something we can use across multiple departments. There's now a queue of departments waiting to onboard and get their processes built. The flexibility within the workflow is excellent."
"The look and feel is very dated."
"It's hard to find information about the solution online. We'll sometimes use the internet to look for technical answers, and we won't be able to find it."
"The product is created to service small to medium-sized businesses. Although it can be used in enterprise settings this choice comes down to properly assessing needs."
"There should be some tool to move SRD and SLA from the sandbox to production."
"It's not user-friendly. Everything is overly complicated. Even for the simplest of tasks, a user will waste time. It requires a lot of clicks and a lot of steps. Often we will have to do the same thing two or three times. It's really bad."
"Improve the out-of-the-box ITIL compliance, which would be great for new customers."
"The customer service management (CSM) features are in need of improvement."
"The setup was somewhat complex as it seemed there were three ways to do the same thing."
"The documentation for migration which includes migration from one version to another or cloud to on-premises is not available in detail. There is no proper planning on metadata updates. I am not able to do the data movement with the package push."
"Ivanti Service Desk could improve the GUI because it is not as good as other solutions, such as BMC or ServiceNow. If Ivanti Service Desk works on the GUI and makes it more user-friendly, and its content more attractive it might help the solution in the long run."
"You must be very technical to configure it."
"The administrative side of it could be a little more intuitive. This is the side that you use to do customizations. It is very customizable, but it could be a bit more intuitive and user-friendly. Their support can also be better in terms of response time. Currently, their response time is a little slow."
"When we need to implement changes, it usually takes two to three days to happen, making it a very time-consuming process."
"The interface can be improved. It can be made more interactive for self-service users."
"The mobile service is minimal and doesn't provide sufficient capabilities."
"You have limited ability to customize how Ivanti renders. It's a fairly strict design that doesn't offer you much freedom to alter the rigid, two-column layout on the screen. You can choose between one column or two, but that's about it. The presentation is probably the biggest weakness."
