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.

Comprehensive workflows and data views have supported complex teams but still need cost improvements
JIRA Service Management is costly. The pricing structure needs improvement. When I add some plugins, I have to pay the cost for every user whether they are using it or not. For smaller companies, the detailed workflow editing and the kind of details that JIRA Service Management provides would be complex. For startups and smaller companies, JIRA Service Management would be complex. The cloud offering is easier because I don't have to manage the infrastructure. There are two templates of the project: company-managed and team-managed. Team-managed is a newer feature, which is good for startup-kind companies where they don't need control over data from multiple projects displaying in one dashboard. For startups, JIRA Service Management is somewhat complex with its schemes and everything. Capacity management should be improved in terms of additional features in the next release of JIRA Service Management.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"What I appreciate about Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is its comprehensive change request management system, which we utilize for server patching, workstation patching, BIOS updates, and driver updates, enabling us to have CAB meetings to discuss changes and approve them before implementation."
"HEAT Service Management is good for asset and service desk management. It is the focal point for this solution."
"Primarily, I believe the focus lies on discovery, workflow configuration, and automation."
"This is an excellent alternative to ServiceNow for smaller companies."
"It is relatively cost-effective compared to other options like ServiceNow. Additionally, it is highly stable."
"The interface, workflow, and dashboards are powerful and easy to manage for tracking KPIs and sharing strategies with our customers."
"They allow us to automate ticketing processes and create requests more efficiently, improving our overall support operations."
"Ivanti Neurons allows me to adjust our workflow according to our needs."
"Simplicity is a key aspect. It is not hard to use."
"Jira lets us customize the workflow to meet our requirements. The email and alert features are also handy."
"The SLA, speed, the comments from agents' side, and the dashboard for agents are the most valuable features."
"What I really like about this solution, is how it manages the queues, the tickets and the routing."
"JIRA Service Management provides real-time updates to all the stakeholders, and offers the opportunity to create customized communication and track services, enabling more precise real-time changes and a customized version."
"One of the best things about JIRA is that it searches for answers while questions are being typed so some tickets do not need to be submitted."
"Everyone knows how to use it, so there's no need to teach new members."
"The solution offers lots of information on the website to assist with technical queries. There are also many community sites to help you troubleshoot any problems."
 

Cons

"Perhaps one area that could see enhancement is at the hardware level, particularly regarding endpoint control."
"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."
"There's a lack of integration with other products. This needs to be improved."
"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."
"The user interface must be made simpler and more effective."
"We'd like more integration with solutions like SolarWinds."
"I have had to open a few support tickets with the HEAT Service Management. They are very good but there are some areas that they could improve on."
"The initial setup of JIRA Service Management can be complex for new users. There is a lot of configuration."
"The solution needs to be integrated better with Office X5."
"The licensing model could be improved. There needs to be a different licensing model for large numbers of employees, as it remains one of the main barriers to using JIRA Service Management across our entire company."
"The solution should be more formalized. It could be more user-friendly."
"It has change management and incident management, but CMDB is not there. It's also not as user-friendly as ServiceNow."
"It is pretty complex to move between the test environment and the production environment. There is potential for improvement."
"As a consultant, I have used the support. Some of the support I have received has been good and other times it could improve."
"JSD has some analytics, but it's pretty much basic and simple dashboards. There's no mobile application for JSD. It really would benefit from better implementation with other vendors. We're heavily reliant on some external marketplace applications."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is affordable for small businesses."
"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 price is on the higher side. The support is included in the standard licensing fees."
"The pricing is very competitive and I think that it is okay."
"It depends on the number of users but it starts at $20 per month per user. I would rate them a three out of five for pricing."
"Licensing can become quite expensive."
"The price of the solution is becoming expensive and it should be reduced."
"Jira Service Management has affordable license fees. It's $12 a month per person."
"We may upgrade the license that we have. The license that we currently have is good for 500 agents, and it's not full yet."
"JIRA Service Desk has different pricing as it is based on agents. On average, the price is about $300 per agent."
"The pricing is free for us because we are an associate partner for the product."
