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.""The solution's technical support is excellent. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten.""HEAT Service Management is good for asset and service desk management. It is the focal point for this solution.""The integrations are quite simple and clear.""The main feature for us is incident management, as it assists me in knowing my assignments, because we have group assignments. When we go to the group assignment they can assign it to me there.""Overall, the platform, in its abilities, is really powerful, especially now with AI as a part of hyper-automation.""This is an excellent alternative to ServiceNow for smaller companies.""It is relatively cost-effective compared to other options like ServiceNow. Additionally, it is highly stable."

"The most recent addition of SAM Premium is a game changer for many organizations.""Change management is most valuable.""It is robust and very user-friendly.""The subsequent chain of tasks, I believe, is valuable.""I like the ease of use.""I don't have to look through a whole bunch of other incidents that aren't relevant to me. It's very useful in that sense.""I like the reporting aspect of it. It helps us know where we stand regarding the types of issues we're receiving... It also shows us trends. That enables us to possibly predict an issue that might come up in the future as well as what is happening right now. We will like that feature. With it, we can either avoid certain issues or know where we need to focus more regarding the service we provide.""The solution integrates well with other products."

More ServiceNow Pros →

Cons
"The user interface must be made simpler and more effective.""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.""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.""Support needs improvement in terms of responsiveness and timeliness.""There is room for improvement in terms of response time. The support team takes a long time to respond.""Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is not a user-friendly tool when compared to ServiceNow.""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."

More Ivanti Neurons for ITSM Cons →

"Creating service catalog forms could be made easier.""The pricing of the solution could be better. It's a bit high.""They can maybe improve the area of agile project management. They do have user storyboards and other things, but we kind of lean on Jira for that work. This is perhaps an area that could be looked at a little more.""The asset management application could be improved. They have a lot of the infrastructure built, but it does not come with already made compatibility with some of the most popular vendors, such as Cisco and Microsoft. You have to fix it yourself.""I do not like the user interface.""It should enhance its offerings by providing the chance to obtain course certifications at an affordable fee.""It's not user-friendly by default, but it can be customized to be customer-friendly.""A new user does need training or time to learn the solution before jumping in. It was very hard in the beginning to understand everything. I couldn't find the models I needed at the time."

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."
  • "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."
  • More Ivanti Neurons for ITSM Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The first impact for the customer is that it is expensive, but do not forget that it is a solution that includes infrastructure; a single cost, easy to justify."
  • "It has a higher cost compared to local/regional solutions."
  • "We know that ServiceNow is not cheap, it's more expensive than other solutions. But we are trying to increase our ability to handle tickets so that the cost per ticket is less."
  • "It's sold as a less expensive solution, but it has to be highly modified. That's where you get into the cost."
  • "ServiceNow pricing is an art, not a science. The deal depends on how commercially savvy you are, which does make it something that is quite difficult to get right. It is most definitely an opportunity area for ServiceNow to improve and have more visibility around pricing of the different products within the platform."
  • "ServiceNow is a leader and its pricing is quite good, quite competitive... Sometimes some plugins are not priced reasonably but, generally, the platform itself, its modules, are priced reasonably."
  • "Isn't pricing always too much? We really do chafe at the ITIL licensing. ITOM is also pretty expensive."
  • "Initially, the licensing model ServiceNow came up with was very good. But now, from a licensing perspective, they are changing their model day by day. It is becoming a bit expensive for customers."
