The user interface is easy to use, and the product performs well, but the dashboard and the monitoring features are limited
We use the product to design workflows. We model and install them on the server. We use the Community edition The modeling features are easy. The performance of the tool is good. The user interface is easy to use. I have used the product for complex processes and sub-processes successfully. The…

Manager - Technical Support at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Has helped streamline ticketing and change management while offering clear documentation support
Documentation and learning materials are available for Ivanti Neurons for ITSM, and if you check the vendor sites, you will find documents for each feature. I believe that short videos should be created and uploaded for newcomers to learn quickly since time can be limited. If a user believes in Ivanti, they should also believe in all its products including Ivanti Neurons for ITSM and Neurons because they are genuinely putting in hard work. This is reflected in the documentation, though I suggest they work on creating more videos. Other than that, you will find everything you need in the community site and documentation site. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Ivanti Neurons for ITSM an 8 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The Connector implementation is a great addition to an out-of-box solution providing robust features for the developer to build hassle-free integrations."
"We use the tool to validate and give access to the users. It is for access management."
"I really enjoy using the workflow management tool."
"When there is heavy customization in the process Bonita is the best compare to other products in the market."
"Its user-friendliness, along with the availability of comprehensive and clear documentation on the website is the most valuable."
"It is a great product that is powerful in developing applications."
"Bonitasoft helped us automate complicated and labor intensive processes"
"The user interface is easy to use."
"This is an excellent alternative to ServiceNow for smaller companies."
"Everything in Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is excellent, and they are doing their best."
"Ivanti Neurons allows me to adjust our workflow according to our needs."
"Our First Call Close rate for the Service Desk was 70-80% once we got all the workflows and Notes and Question screens populated."
"HEAT Service Management is a great tool for assets, service desk, and customer service management."
"It is easy to set up."
"There is a very good approval hierarchy in place."
"The solution's installation depends on its customization. It is easy."
 

Cons

"The community edition has limited module functionality."
"The community edition has limited module functionality. If they could release some of the functionality that's available in the enterprise edition that would be helpful to those learning to use the solution."
"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."
"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."
"Bonita can improve by offering more flexibility. The developer does not receive the code of the application to modify it. Most of the other solutions I have used allow the developers to change or improve the code that is generated."
"There is a need for more components in the library and additional customization options for these components."
"I have run into a lot of problems because there is not enough documentation."
"It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone."
"We'd like more integration with solutions like SolarWinds."
"Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is not a user-friendly tool when compared to ServiceNow."
"Configuration requirements are extensive, even in basic Service Desk processes."
"The support that we're currently getting is just not there."
"The user interface must be made simpler and more effective."
"I believe that short videos should be created and uploaded for newcomers to learn quickly since time can be limited."
"I rate Ivanti Neurons for ITSM an eight out of ten because it has many features but needs some improvements."
"Currently, the solution only supports SOAP web services, but a REST interface is on the roadmap and has been confirmed for mid-next year."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"You pay an annual fee and can have an unlimited number of processes and users."
"I am using the free version of Bonita."
"have installed the image of Bonita BPM on Amazon AWS and there is just one option to use and pay for."
"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."
"Price to service ratio with Bonita BPM is good."
"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."
"The Community Edition comes free of charge."
"My customers do direct sales with Ivanti, and they complain that Ivanti Automation is more expensive than other solutions."
"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."
"The price is on the higher side. The support is included in the standard licensing fees."
"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."
