Developers gain flexibility to build custom controls with numerous integration options
Looking forward, IBM WebSphere BPMS could add more adapters to integrate with SAP or Salesforce integrator in upcoming releases. Regarding AI-driven process optimizations, we have not implemented these features with IBM WebSphere BPMS. In recent versions, IBM has introduced some generative AI features, and we plan to migrate to the newer versions within approximately one year.

Unified endpoint control has improved patch workflows and streamlined remote device management
I like the patch management side of things in this solution. You can set deployment rings so patches are rolled out in phases rather than hitting everyone at once, which reduces risk. I quite like that feature. I also appreciate the endpoint visibility when you're in the dashboard. You can see device health, the compliance status, software inventory, and other information all in one place without jumping between tools. Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is a key tool and is very important to my service delivery efficiency. Since implementing it and having used it for two years, the ease of use is a significant advantage because it covers Windows, Mac OS, iOS, and Android, so I can operate and manage devices all from the same console. This is good in a mixed device environment. From a Windows perspective, the BitLocker key retrieval feature is very helpful. The analytics and reporting tools in this product are helpful. I can see device health and out-of-warranty status. This is crucial in keeping our environment up to date and secure.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"IBM WebSphere BPMS provides significant return on investments, especially in the BAW component."

"It's a good product."
"The most valuable feature of IBM WebSphere BPMS is the systematic framework it provides for building different systems."
"It has allowed the companies that I work for to expose their services outside of their own network."
"We like the feature in which we can trace back instances."
"The UI capabilities of the solution are great. The speed of delivery is good."
"The UI capabilities of the solution are great, and the speed of delivery is good, with everything delivered quickly and seamlessly in order to bring things to the market in an efficient manner."
"The solution's technical support is excellent. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"There is a very good approval hierarchy in place."
"My advice to others considering Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is that it is a good platform to obtain comprehensive help in one location, and users can utilize this platform comfortably."
"HEAT Service Management is a great tool for assets, service desk, and customer service management."
"They allow us to automate ticketing processes and create requests more efficiently, improving our overall support operations."
"Primarily, I believe the focus lies on discovery, workflow configuration, and automation."
"The main feature for us is incident management, as it assists me in knowing my assignments because we have group assignments and when we go to the group assignment they can assign it to me there."
"It's easy for the IT admins at the company to use. It isn't hard to understand and there are lots of features you can use out of the box. If a feature isn't available in Ivanti Automation, you can always script it."
 

Cons

"They need more monitoring capability."
"The user interface could be improved, because you can say it is not the best on the market."
"Sometimes there are tasks that failed without any reason."
"We've experienced a lot of glitches on the product."
"There is a need for more capabilities in low-code and no-code development to increase efficiency and make implementation simpler."
"Looking forward, IBM WebSphere BPMS could add more adapters to integrate with SAP or Salesforce integrator in upcoming releases."
"The user interface could be improved, and although integration opportunities are good, they could be improved further."
"The solution lacks acceptable stability."
"Currently, the solution only supports SOAP web services, but a REST interface is on the roadmap and has been confirmed for mid-next year."
"Their cloud relay feature needs to improve to compete with other products in cloud solutions like Azure and AWS. It should be easier to deploy or provision images in the cloud with Ivanti Automation. Better Azure integration would also help."
"I rate Ivanti Neurons for ITSM an eight out of ten because it has many features but needs some improvements."
"Areas that have room for improvement with Ivanti Neurons for ITSM might include some of the reliability with Mac devices."
"There's a lack of integration with other products. This needs to be improved."
"I believe that short videos should be created and uploaded for newcomers to learn quickly since time can be limited."
"There could be an improvement in the ability to easily integrate other systems without extensive development."
"There is room for improvement in terms of response time. The support team takes a long time to respond."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"My customers do direct sales with Ivanti, and they complain that Ivanti Automation is more expensive than other solutions."
"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."
"The price is on the higher side. The support is included in the standard licensing fees."
"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."
