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.

Senior Manager - Strategic Initiatives | Project Management | Reporting & Analytics at a hospitality company with 10,001+ employees
Scalable but interface can be improved
Basically, we use it for service management from the financial side of things I would say the simplicity of it. It's not very difficult and doesn't require strong technical skills to understand or implement. The interface can be improved. It can be made more interactive for self-service users.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Ivanti Neurons allows me to adjust our workflow according to our needs."
"Primarily, I believe the focus lies on discovery, workflow configuration, and automation."
"It is easy to set up."
"HEAT Service Management is good for asset and service desk management. It is the focal point for this solution."
"They allow us to automate ticketing processes and create requests more efficiently, improving our overall support operations."
"The solution's installation depends on its customization. It is easy."
"Everything in Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is excellent, and they are doing their best."
"The solution is easy to use and has a user-friendly interface"
"It is highly configurable with PinkVERIFY status."
"The best feature is that SLAs are automatically tracked, so when we breach something, we can set up email escalations as well."
"The tool supports a lot of standard reporting KPIs."
"Incident management is a valuable feature."
"The initial setup was quite simple; installing just took a few minutes."
"The most valuable features of the Ivanti Service Desk are service requests and incident management."
"Incident management and service request management features are the most valuable."
"Ivanti offers us the flexibility to transform it from purely an internal IT tool to something we can use across multiple departments. There's now a queue of departments waiting to onboard and get their processes built. The flexibility within the workflow is excellent."
 

Cons

"We'd like more integration with solutions like SolarWinds."
"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."
"They could provide product integration with popular platforms."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"You must be very technical to configure it."
"The administrative side of it could be a little more intuitive. This is the side that you use to do customizations. It is very customizable, but it could be a bit more intuitive and user-friendly. Their support can also be better in terms of response time. Currently, their response time is a little slow."
"When we need to implement changes, it usually takes two to three days to happen, making it a very time-consuming process."
"The mobile service is minimal and doesn't provide sufficient capabilities."
"Ivanti Service Desk could improve the GUI because it is not as good as other solutions, such as BMC or ServiceNow. If Ivanti Service Desk works on the GUI and makes it more user-friendly, and its content more attractive it might help the solution in the long run."
"The documentation for migration which includes migration from one version to another or cloud to on-premises is not available in detail. There is no proper planning on metadata updates. I am not able to do the data movement with the package push."
"You have limited ability to customize how Ivanti renders. It's a fairly strict design that doesn't offer you much freedom to alter the rigid, two-column layout on the screen. You can choose between one column or two, but that's about it. The presentation is probably the biggest weakness."
"The interface can be improved. It can be made more interactive for self-service users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
