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 solution's installation depends on its customization. It is easy."
"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."
"Primarily, I believe the focus lies on discovery, workflow configuration, and automation."
"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."
"The interface, workflow, and dashboards are powerful and easy to manage for tracking KPIs and sharing strategies with our customers."
"HEAT Service Management is good for asset and service desk management. It is the focal point for this solution."
"Overall, the platform, in its abilities, is really powerful, especially now with AI as a part of hyper-automation."
"Easily integrates with other tools."
"We have an Agile environment and using Jira makes it easy to adhere to Agile best practices."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The product is not lacking anything that a QA will want to use."
"​Allows customized processes for our service contracts."
"The query language and the ability to create views of the data are very useful."
"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."
"Compared to other solutions, Jira Service Management is really reasonable regarding price and speed."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in terms of response time. The support team takes a long time to respond."
"I believe that short videos should be created and uploaded for newcomers to learn quickly since time can be limited."
"Support needs improvement in terms of responsiveness and timeliness."
"There could be an improvement in the ability to easily integrate other systems without extensive development."
"Perhaps one area that could see enhancement is at the hardware level, particularly regarding endpoint control."
"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."
"We'd like more integration with solutions like SolarWinds."
"I feel that Atlassian isn't really interested in fixing everything because if they did, the partners that are developing the fixes and features would not have a place in the market."
"It has change management and incident management, but CMDB is not there. It's also not as user-friendly as ServiceNow."
"Currently lacks an asset management module that can affect deployment."
"The documentation needs improving, it's difficult to find specific procedures."
"Usability needs improvement. To configure it, you need to be well versed in Jira administration. It's not very intuitive."
"The platform should be more user-friendly. JIRA's user interface needs training to understand and utilize."
"We have a lot of add-ons, however, instead of the add-ons, for example, cloning could be better."
"It is difficult to navigate if you don't have any prior knowledge."
 

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."
"The product is affordable for small businesses."
"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."
"It depends on the number of users but it starts at $20 per month per user. I would rate them a three out of five for pricing."
"The price of the solution is becoming expensive and it should be reduced."
"JSM's pricing is one of the best, starting at around $10 per user, per month, with volume discounts available."
"Actually in Iran we don't have copyright or intellectual property, so we can use JIRA for free."
"I would suggest to always buy licenses through an Atlassian partner, so you can also rely on their expertise."
"I am using the free version, but my clients are paying for it. When they start, they evaluate it for 30 days, and after seeing the value, they move to its paid version."
"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."
"Jira Service Management has affordable license fees. It's $12 a month per person."
