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

"They allow us to automate ticketing processes and create requests more efficiently, improving our overall support operations."
"The solution's technical support is excellent. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"Primarily, I believe the focus lies on discovery, workflow configuration, and automation."
"Overall, the platform, in its abilities, is really powerful, especially now with AI as a part of hyper-automation."
"The integrations are quite simple and clear."
"This is an excellent alternative to ServiceNow for smaller companies."
"HEAT Service Management is good for asset and service desk management. It is the focal point for this solution."
"It is easy to set up."
"What I really like about this solution, is how it manages the queues, the tickets and the routing."
"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."
"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."
"Easy to use and user-friendly."
"The tool is scalable."
"It's easy to set up the solution."
"The stability of JIRA Service Management is good."
"Auditing team uses this solution to track audit findings and follow-up."
 

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."
"Support needs improvement in terms of responsiveness and timeliness."
"There's a lack of integration with other products. This needs to be improved."
"The user interface must be made simpler and more effective."
"The patching for non-Windows OSes such as Linux is poor."
"Perhaps one area that could see enhancement is at the hardware level, particularly regarding endpoint control."
"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."
"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."
"It would be beneficial if we could turn comments into subtasks or other JIRA tickets directly."
"The reporting function of this solution, particularly the filters in the portal, could be improved."
"There is no notification regarding language upgrades."
"The interface could be made easier to use."
"The performance in cloud service management could be improved."
"There is room for improvement in support."
"The platform should be more user-friendly. JIRA's user interface needs training to understand and utilize."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"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."
"But about the plugins, I found one plug-in — its name is Actionable Metric I think — and it is $3000. That is very expensive for users in Iran."
"The price of JIRA Service Management could be reduced."
"JIRA Service Management's pricing is pretty decent compared to competitors. I rate the pricing an eight to nine on a scale of one to ten."
"We have paid $20,000 recently for a one-year license for our on-prem server."
"It is a cheaply priced product."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, where one is low price, and ten is high price. It's competitively priced."
"For the people like us, the lower the price, the better. But when compared to other competitors, I think it's Jira's price is okay."
