Featured Reviews

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

"The interface, workflow, and dashboards are powerful and easy to manage for tracking KPIs and sharing strategies with our customers."
"The solution's installation depends on its customization. It is easy."
"It is easy to set up."
"The solution's technical support is excellent. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"It is relatively cost-effective compared to other options like ServiceNow. Additionally, it is highly stable."
"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."
"This is an excellent alternative to ServiceNow for smaller companies."
"I like Cloud Neurons. Since it's a cloud version, it's much easier to enhance productivity because it collects all the information automatically."
"With Jira Service Desk, the simplicity of setting up a quick form and getting the service desk running quickly is very helpful."
"The SLA, speed, the comments from agents' side, and the dashboard for agents are the most valuable features."
"Using JIRA simplifies tracking issues and updates."
"The query language and the ability to create views of the data are very useful."
"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."
"Two features I like about Jira are its ticketing system and its compatibility with Confluence. Also, the Knowledge Base is one of the more valuable features that would really benefit us."
"The most valuable feature of JIRA Service Management is a plugin we are using for the front end for simple user forms."
"It's easy to set up the solution."
 

Cons

"We'd like more integration with solutions like SolarWinds."
"There could be an improvement in the ability to easily integrate other systems without extensive development."
"Configuration requirements are extensive, even in basic Service Desk processes."
"There could be an improvement in the ability to easily integrate other systems without extensive development."
"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."
"There's a lack of integration with other products. This needs to be improved."
"I believe that short videos should be created and uploaded for newcomers to learn quickly since time can be limited."
"Initially, as a completely new user, the interface was not very user-friendly, with many cluttered options."
"Instability happens sometimes - although not frequently."
"With Jira, we were unable to implement time-based automation in its ticketing system. We would like a feature where we can define tickets based on severity, then tickets are automatically escalated to the next level after a set period of time if they go unanswered."
"A lot of users have said that they want a feature that was on the on-prem version of Jira and the vendor can't deliver. They're either unwilling or unable to give feature parity."
"They need to work on the speed of Jira."
"We faced challenges with integration for different frameworks like TestComplete."
"I would like to see the user interface changed, it is not very user-friendly, and it transitions workflows."
"JIRA Service could benefit from improvements to its voice support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The product is affordable for small businesses."
"Actually in Iran we don't have copyright or intellectual property, so we can use JIRA for free."
"We need a license because we have a higher number than the free part."
"The pricing is free for us because we are an associate partner for the product."
"Do not forget to calculate add-on costs. These cost a percentage of the JIRA purchasing costs and are based on the number of JIRA users."
"Costs are about $50 per user per year. JIRA is sold in user tiers of 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 2000, 10,000, and unlimited users. It is bad when you have 51 users then the price is based on that 100 user tier. Users at 100 will be the most cost effective."
"Buying a software solution is only a half part of the solution (or even less). You need to optimize usage of the software by hiring professionals who will help you to make the most of the software, especially in the beginning."
"JIRA Service Desk has different pricing as it is based on agents. On average, the price is about $300 per agent."
"It costs around $150 to $200 per user."
