Featured Reviews

Trilochana Gouda - PeerSpot reviewer
Smooth incident management and easy to use while needing better escalation management
We are using Freshservice for the IT ticketing system for business users We use the ticketing system primarily, which is very easy to use for all users. Freshservice is helpful, especially in incident management. Incident management is very helpful, and the system is straightforward, making it…
Rajat_Srivastava - PeerSpot reviewer
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 admin feature is the UI, so it's very clean. The asset management and its model are valuable as well."
"The solution’s timely automated triggers increase our IT team’s productivity."
"The most valuable feature of Freshservice is you can assign downloaded tickets and the reports are useful."
"It allows for customization and offers a broad feature set."
"What I have seen in Freshservice is there's no room for customization. Which works as an advantage in some cases and it works as a disadvantage in others. If you are someone that starts managing your IT services, it is a great solution, because there's no way to go out away from the direction of the system. You have to follow the process as it was intended for the designers of a solution because there's no room for customization or configuration."
"The solution is very responsive with a 97% success rate in funneling customer tickets."
"You can just register and within five to minute minutes, you are ready to go."
"The workflow and the change management process are valuable."
"I like Cloud Neurons. Since it's a cloud version, it's much easier to enhance productivity because it collects all the information automatically."
"The solution's technical support is excellent. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The solution is easy to use and has a user-friendly interface"
"HEAT Service Management is good for asset and service desk management. It is the focal point for this solution."
"It is relatively cost-effective compared to other options like ServiceNow. Additionally, it is highly stable."
"Ivanti Neurons allows me to adjust our workflow according to our needs."
"Everything in Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is excellent, and they are doing their best."
"This is an excellent alternative to ServiceNow for smaller companies."
 

Cons

"Some of the ways that tasks are reported on and shown can be better. You can't see tasks in your regular ticket list view. You can't see a combo view of tasks and tickets. It is a little bit difficult to get a solid overview of your list of things to do. You can only see them in separate views, instead of one single view."
"You can't implement a complicated delivery workflow. We don't have the same problems with incident and change workflows. It's only for delivery workflow. They have a mechanism for modifying your incident or change workflow. There's a visual interface for that, so there's no reason not to have the same function for request management."
"There is a need for improvement in terms of automatic escalation to the next level if an issue is not resolved. It should optimize and allow customization. Additionally, asset management needs improvement."
"The product should look at BCM or ServiceNow and see if there are features that would make nice additions. It would help them stay competitive."
"On the reporting side, when we were doing reporting, one thing that was a bit of a limitation was when you had a data list containing a list of changes that have occurred for the whole time and you had to fit the list onto a page. If the list went over the page, it would just truncate it at the page. You wouldn't get all your data. So, it didn't work. That was one big stand-out for me. What we tended to do was convert things into a more readable format, and then we had more targeted exception reporting, but it would be nice to have a full list of things that could be automatically generated and that can flow over pages."
"We haven't had any issues with the stability of Freshservice. However, we have had some issues with data imports, we have noticed that large amounts of data can get stuck. This is something that we haven't seen in other solutions."
"We'd like to see a CMDB, a Configuration Management Database, in the future."
"The analytics could be better."
"Perhaps one area that could see enhancement is at the hardware level, particularly regarding endpoint control."
"Support needs improvement in terms of responsiveness and timeliness."
"Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is not a user-friendly tool when compared to ServiceNow."
"There could be an improvement in the ability to easily integrate other systems without extensive development."
"I believe that short videos should be created and uploaded for newcomers to learn quickly since time can be limited."
"We'd like more integration with solutions like SolarWinds."
"They could provide product integration with popular platforms."
"There could be an improvement in the ability to easily integrate other systems without extensive development."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Freshservice price is competitive, it is not more than other solutions on the market."
"The pricing information is on their website. It's my understanding that their Pro Plan, for example, is around $89/month."
"The solution has an annual licensing model."
"The cost at the current timing is very reasonable but as the product gains popularity, I anticipate it might become expensive. Fortunately my customers have been offered a generous discount making it more affordable for me and satisfying both my needs and customers requirement."
"The solution may be around 20,000 euros a year."
"It was a middle tier. It wasn't an expensive one. It was a tier model usage. Licensing costs varied between admin users and regular users."
"I can't recall exactly how much we pay, but it is somewhere in the middle compared to the rest of the market. The more we purchase, the cheaper it becomes, and I think the solution offers good value for money."
"Compared to other tools, Freshservice is affordable."
"The product is affordable for small businesses."
"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."
