Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable features are problem management and change management.""All our activities are carried out in the one place."

More Cherwell Service Management Pros →

"Incident management is a valuable feature.""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 best feature is that SLAs are automatically tracked, so when we breach something, we can set up email escalations as well.""The most valuable features of the Ivanti Service Desk are service requests and incident management."

Cons
"Areas for improvement would be the service catalog and customer catalog, which is not very user-friendly. The shopping cart experience is also terrible - you submit and go straight to the cart, you can't continue shopping or see your overall cost.""Access is only available if we're on VPN."

More Cherwell Service Management Cons →

"The mobile service is minimal and doesn't provide sufficient capabilities.""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 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.""When we need to implement changes, it usually takes two to three days to happen, making it a very time-consuming process."
