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

"Overall, the platform, in its abilities, is really powerful, especially now with AI as a part of hyper-automation."
"The solution's technical support is excellent. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"Ivanti Neurons allows me to adjust our workflow according to our needs."
"The integrations are quite simple and clear."
"This is an excellent alternative to ServiceNow for smaller companies."
"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."
"It is easy to set up."
"The solution's installation depends on its customization. It is easy."
"The customer portal with connection with our knowledge base has been most valuable."
"Its integration is most valuable. It is pretty open for integration."
"What I really like about this solution, is how it manages the queues, the tickets and the routing."
"This is a flexible tool for logging and tracking issues efficiently."
"Great to be able to create customized forms."
"The most valuable features are the flexibility of defining your own workflows and automation around the workflows, and the integration with the gate or any repository."
"Easily integrates with other tools."
"One of the best features is that I can share tickets with team members, at which point any team member is able to pick one up and work on it."
 

Cons

"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."
"They could provide product integration with popular platforms."
"Perhaps one area that could see enhancement is at the hardware level, particularly regarding endpoint control."
"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."
"I believe that short videos should be created and uploaded for newcomers to learn quickly since time can be limited."
"Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is not a user-friendly tool when compared to ServiceNow."
"Sometimes I can't get the reports that I want until I go to the manager. They need to put more into the new reports. The standard reports are great, but there do not communicate as much."
"Lacks an interface where the customer can report issues."
"It would be beneficial if we could turn comments into subtasks or other JIRA tickets directly."
"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."
"We have tried exporting some of the test cases into Jira from Excel. The interface for that isn't very user-friendly."
"We faced challenges with integration for different frameworks like TestComplete."
"In-built chat is missing in JIRA Service Management."
"It is difficult to navigate if you don't have any prior knowledge."
"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."
"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."
"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 price is on the higher side. The support is included in the standard licensing fees."
"It's not really expensive, especially when you compare to ServiceNow or other solutions, and it's not expensive to maintain."
"It costs around $150 to $200 per user."
"Actually in Iran we don't have copyright or intellectual property, so we can use JIRA for free."
"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."
"The price for JIRA Service Management is reasonable and cheaper than other ITSM solutions, but the licensing model is different, so you cannot compare it with other solutions. Overall, the pricing for the solution is acceptable."
"It is one of the premium products on the market, but it is very costly, especially in the Indian market."
"The pricing is very competitive and I think that it is okay."
"This is pricey solution. Should we move to using all cloud solutions in our business, we may move to different tools that have multiple functionality versus having a solution for each area. This would be too pricey and we would need to replace Jira with a different solution that also offers other features."
