The user interface is easy to use, and the product performs well, but the dashboard and the monitoring features are limited

Unified endpoint control has improved patch workflows and streamlined remote device management
I like the patch management side of things in this solution. You can set deployment rings so patches are rolled out in phases rather than hitting everyone at once, which reduces risk. I quite like that feature. I also appreciate the endpoint visibility when you're in the dashboard. You can see device health, the compliance status, software inventory, and other information all in one place without jumping between tools. Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is a key tool and is very important to my service delivery efficiency. Since implementing it and having used it for two years, the ease of use is a significant advantage because it covers Windows, Mac OS, iOS, and Android, so I can operate and manage devices all from the same console. This is good in a mixed device environment. From a Windows perspective, the BitLocker key retrieval feature is very helpful. The analytics and reporting tools in this product are helpful. I can see device health and out-of-warranty status. This is crucial in keeping our environment up to date and secure.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I really enjoy using the workflow management tool."
"Process automation with Bonita BPM is really easy."
"With Bonita BPM, you can run the process (as it will in the final stage) immediately after the design stage, giving you 100% control over the quality of your processes and flows."
"Development of forms and flows."
"Its user-friendliness, along with the availability of comprehensive and clear documentation on the website is the most valuable."
"We use the on-premises deployment model and the Bonita Community Edition of the solution."
"We use the tool to validate and give access to the users. It is for access management."
"When there is heavy customization in the process Bonita is the best compare to other products in the market."
"Everything in Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is excellent, and they are doing their best."
"It's easy for the IT admins at the company to use. It isn't hard to understand and there are lots of features you can use out of the box. If a feature isn't available in Ivanti Automation, you can always script it."
"The most valuable feature of Ivanti Automation is the opportunity to use more or less any kind of scripting software."
"It is relatively cost-effective compared to other options like ServiceNow. Additionally, it is highly stable."
"Ivanti Automation significantly simplifies IT infrastructure processes, handling access requests and facilitating various employee requests."
"It is easy to set up."
"The integrations are quite simple and clear."
"My advice to others considering Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is that it is a good platform to obtain comprehensive help in one location, and users can utilize this platform comfortably."
 

Cons

"The dashboard has limited features."
"Scalability of the Bonita BPM Community version is low."
"Bonita must add a rule engine. We are a 360-degree partner of Bonita. We can integrate with any kind of rule engine. We have a dashboard related to engine performance, but getting a configurable dashboard for the Buildium or transactional data will add value."
"We are struggling a bit with integrations."
"BPMN 2.0 notations are not all supported, would love to see them all coming in (e.g. complex gateway)."
"The menus likely would be more intuitive if read in French. Things seem to be under strange headings at times."
"I should be able to park the tasks that are within a process in a kind of container, and dynamically, a super admin should be able to connect these processes. This kind of feature might be helpful."
"At times Bonita BPM Studio crashes, intermittently."
"They could provide product integration with popular platforms."
"The support that we're currently getting is just not there."
"The user interface could be more futuristic and modernized in terms of styling and colors."
"I rate Ivanti Neurons for ITSM an eight out of ten because it has many features but needs some improvements."
"Support needs improvement in terms of responsiveness and timeliness."
"I believe that short videos should be created and uploaded for newcomers to learn quickly since time can be limited."
"Because it is so new, the really valuable processes like Release, Availability, and Financial Management are just bare bones."
"The process to add fields is time consuming and requires the system to be offline while you apply an Edit Set."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."
"Price to service ratio with Bonita BPM is good."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"have installed the image of Bonita BPM on Amazon AWS and there is just one option to use and pay for."
"The product is not cheaper, not costlier; it is reasonable. Bonita’s license is very flexible, with options to meet the needs of different customers and clients. Previously, it was less flexible, but now, many different licensing options are available."
"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."
"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."
"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."
"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 product is affordable for small businesses."
"My customers do direct sales with Ivanti, and they complain that Ivanti Automation is more expensive than other solutions."
"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."
"The price is on the higher side. The support is included in the standard licensing fees."
