Manager - Technical Support at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
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."
"HEAT Service Management is good for asset and service desk management. It is the focal point for this solution."
"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."
"Everything in Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is excellent, and they are doing their best."
"Primarily, I believe the focus lies on discovery, workflow configuration, and automation."
"It is easy to set up."
"The interface, workflow, and dashboards are powerful and easy to manage for tracking KPIs and sharing strategies with our customers."
"The query language and the ability to create views of the data are very useful."
"It makes the IT department more transparent and helps the employees."
"We use JIRA Service Management for tracking purposes, planning, and execution."
"Jira gets the basics right in terms of the product backlog and a scrum board teams can use to manage sprint backlogs."
"The centralized feature allows us to track test cases and integrate with automation and bug fixing."
"It is 100% stable."
"What I really like about this solution, is how it manages the queues, the tickets and the routing."
"The links between the help desk and Jira issues and between Confluence and Jira issues are most valuable. I can write requirements in Confluence and link them to user stories in Jira and test cases. I can see my test coverage and all that kind of stuff. The integration between these three is very useful. It is pretty customizable, and it integrates well. There are a lot of add-ins and a lot of connectors to third-party products. In my last company, we used Test Royal for managing all the tests, and it integrated perfectly with that. For any issue or bug, we could see what tests have been run and the complete history of the tests."
 

Cons

"Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is not a user-friendly tool when compared to ServiceNow."
"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 is room for improvement in terms of response time. The support team takes a long time to respond."
"The user interface must be made simpler and more effective."
"The patching for non-Windows OSes such as Linux is poor."
"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."
"We'd like more integration with solutions like SolarWinds."
"Generally requires the purchase of additional plugins."
"The initial setup is very complex."
"The price is a point of contention for me. It does overall work out as a significant amount of money that will be spent over a shorter period of time."
"The reporting function of this solution, particularly the filters in the portal, could be improved."
"The way it handles subtasks can be improved. We would really like the ability to have different types of subtasks. If we have a user story for a feature, we would like to have a subtask for documentation, a subtask for requirements, a subtask for development, and a subtask for testing. Right now, we just make four subtasks, but there is no way to specify their type, so we have to add a custom field to specify what type of work is this. It just means you've got to look at more data. For logging time or time tracking, we would like to have something using which we can define the work type we're doing. We would like to log whether we're working on a bug, a new development, scope change, or rework. We've got a user story for which we do the dev, and then we have to do more dev. It is the same story, but some of it could have been a scope change, and some of it could be a rework because we either screwed up the first time or missed something obvious. Currently, we have to have a custom field and track that separately. It would be nice to have some kind of work type for logging time."
"Integration could be improved."
"If I need a new feature, JIRA requires me to pay for all users when only specific people use that add-on. I should not have to pay for everyone, so this is an area for improvement."
"It would be better if it had capabilities to connect to mobile applications (e.g., Whatsapp)"
 

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 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."
"On a scale of one to five, with one being really high and five being good, I would rate the price of this solution as a four."
"I would suggest to always buy licenses through an Atlassian partner, so you can also rely on their expertise."
"The cost has recently increased. It might be around $20 to $25 per user license."
"We have paid $20,000 recently for a one-year license for our on-prem server."
"I price of JIRA Service Management is reasonable."
"We need a license because we have a higher number than the free part."
"Licensing can become quite expensive."
"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."
