Integration flexibility and informative dashboards enable effective workflow management
Ivanti Neurons allows me to adjust our workflow according to our needs. It offers flexibility, integration with our solution, sends alerts, and provides information about service availability. The tool also allows me to manage partners and deal with recurrent incidents and errors. The interface, workflow, and dashboards are powerful and easy to manage for tracking KPIs and sharing strategies with our customers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use the ticketing system primarily, which is very easy to use for all users."
"The most valuable features of Freshservice are the notifications, customization, and flexibility."
"The solution has been stable."
"The workflow and the change management process are valuable."
"It has reduced the time to look up who is responsible for a service, and it has reduced the time to finalize a service request because it now goes directly to the person who is responsible for the service in that location. So, a service request is handled quickly and directly by the person responsible for it."
"It's very handy and very easy to use."
"The solution’s timely automated triggers increase our IT team’s productivity."
"Ability to scan barcodes and a great search feature."
"They allow us to automate ticketing processes and create requests more efficiently, improving our overall support operations."
"It is relatively cost-effective compared to other options like ServiceNow. Additionally, it is highly stable."
"The solution's installation depends on its customization. It is easy."
"This is an excellent alternative to ServiceNow for smaller companies."
"Overall, the platform, in its abilities, is really powerful, especially now with AI as a part of hyper-automation."
"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."
"Ivanti Neurons allows me to adjust our workflow according to our needs."
"I like Cloud Neurons. Since it's a cloud version, it's much easier to enhance productivity because it collects all the information automatically."
 

Cons

"I experienced some delay in response time for non-function critical queries."
"The analytics could be better."
"The round robin ticketing feature that they have is not ideal."
"Freshservice's technical support has issues with delays and translations."
"Asset management can definitely be improved because it doesn't pick up every single device on the network or every single piece of information."
"Freshservice could improve the delegation and workflow management features."
"The reporting and management information (MI) are very limited, and stopped realistic and timely reporting on outstanding incidents."
"Freshservice could improve the integration with Microsoft Outlook."
"Configuration requirements are extensive, even in basic Service Desk processes."
"There's a lack of integration with other products. This needs to be improved."
"We'd like more integration with solutions like SolarWinds."
"The user interface must be made simpler and more effective."
"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."
"Perhaps one area that could see enhancement is at the hardware level, particularly regarding endpoint control."
"The patching for non-Windows OSes such as Linux is poor."
"Support needs improvement in terms of responsiveness and timeliness."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is reasonable."
"Freshservice's licensing costs are pretty good, and it has different categories of pricing based on what modules and features you choose, which gives a lot of flexibility."
"I don't think it's expensive for the US or some European markets. Still, when I used Freshservice in Mexico, some customers found it a bit pricey, especially considering the platform's features. I think the pricing is fair for use in the European market, but it might be perceived differently in Latin America."
"Our licensing fee for Freshservice is $2,500 a year."
"Freshservice is a fairly cheap solution. Though monthly payments can be made towards the licensing costs of the solution, my company prefers to make annual payments."
"The solution has an annual licensing model."
"Its price is great. Its pricing is supposedly a lot less than ServiceNow and other alternatives."
"We're basically paying about $100 USD per agent per month."
"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."
"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 product is affordable for small businesses."
