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

"I like Cloud Neurons. Since it's a cloud version, it's much easier to enhance productivity because it collects all the information automatically."
"Overall, the platform, in its abilities, is really powerful, especially now with AI as a part of hyper-automation."
"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."
"The solution's installation depends on its customization. It is easy."
"This is an excellent alternative to ServiceNow for smaller companies."
"The solution's technical support is excellent. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"Everything in Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is excellent, and they are doing their best."
"Jira Service Management has a workflow feature you can configure for your specific requirements. It also lets you efficiently manage service requests with team members."
"Jira Service Management is flexible. It is easy to navigate without requiring extra learning. The user experience has been good."
"JIRA helps integrate Kanban Board features and for this reason what it does it does well."
"Everyone knows how to use it, so there's no need to teach new members."
"It scales well."
"The automations will really help the company by delegating work the way your company operates."
"I'm mainly working in the ITSM module of JIRA Service Management, and the integration between the system incident and how you can link all the records to the change makes it quite powerful."
"The dashboards in Jira have been the most useful feature."
 

Cons

"Support needs improvement in terms of responsiveness and timeliness."
"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."
"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."
"The patching for non-Windows OSes such as Linux is poor."
"Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is not a user-friendly tool when compared to ServiceNow."
"Its UI is a bit overwhelming for new users. That has been the problem with Jira for a long time. If they could put some fields that we could use to simplify the UI, it would be good."
"It would be useful to be ale to link tickets across different gantt charts in Jira and Confluence."
"Jira Service Management should be more user-friendly."
"The queries are weak and lack advanced functionality. You can do rudimentary queries, but you can't aggregate. You can't filter for a lot of things that would be useful, so you need to use plugins to write writing advanced queries. I run into problems when working with different organizations because they always have restrictions on what kind of plugins they allow."
"Every time there's a problem with JIRA Service Management, you have to have a look at how to solve it, and there's always a feature request or the feature request on the solution is too large and the development cycles are too slow."
"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."
"An AI feature that enables automation and alerts for users can be an improvement."
"At times you will need add-ons or additional software, so built-in features would be helpful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I would suggest to always buy licenses through an Atlassian partner, so you can also rely on their expertise."
"Actually in Iran we don't have copyright or intellectual property, so we can use JIRA for free."
"The pricing is free for us because we are an associate partner for the product."
"I price of JIRA Service Management is reasonable."
"Jira Service Management has affordable license fees. It's $12 a month per person."
"The pricing is very competitive and I think that it is okay."
"It is a cheaply priced product."
"Right now, there are only two of us who are both agents on the help desk and developers. We might be on the free version because we're less than three agents or users. I'm looking at Zephyr tests, which have a $10 a month flat rate, so right now, it is $10 a month. There are lots of add-ons. They do a free version, a standard version, and a premium version. In the last company, we started on $50 a month. By the time I left, we were paying $4,500 a month. That was mainly because we had 100 users on Confluence. I bought an add-on for Jira software for which we had 10 users, and that was $5 per user per month. It was costing me $500 a month, whereas it should only be $50 a month. I don't know if licensing fee has changed. I'd like our whole company to use it, but the big problem is the licensing because the Confluence side is what is really useful, but if I add 30 users to Confluence and then buy an extension for Jira software, I've got to pay for 30 licenses, even though I've only got two users in Jira software. It is the one big disadvantage of cloud software. You always have to pay for the number of seats regardless of which product you are on. This will probably severely limit how many people would use it because I'm not going to start paying $10 per user per month for a Jira software add-on when there are only two people using it."
