Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 1, 2024

Salesforce Service Cloud and Ivanti Neurons for ITSM compete in the IT service management category. Salesforce holds an advantage due to its integration capabilities and rapid implementation, while Ivanti stands out with its automation and workflow efficiency.

Features: Salesforce Service Cloud focuses on comprehensive case management, seamless omni-channel support, and integration with marketing platforms like Marketo. Its automated updates enhance ease of onboarding. Ivanti Neurons offers robust incident management, extensive self-service options, and a flexible platform for custom service requests without deep technical skills. Its integrated automation elevates productivity by reducing manual tasks.

Room for Improvement: Salesforce Service Cloud users seek better performance in mobile apps, enhanced email integration with Outlook, more advanced reporting, and a refined UI. Ivanti Neurons needs improvements in its user interface to compete effectively with ServiceNow, better integration with platforms like WhatsApp, enhanced self-service portal customization, and expanded localization choices.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Salesforce predominantly offers public cloud deployment with positive feedback for accessibility and extensive community resources. Premium support is occasionally needed for complex queries. Ivanti supports hybrid and on-premises solutions, attracting organizations needing customized deployment. However, Ivanti's support could improve, particularly in response times and community interaction.

Pricing and ROI: Salesforce Service Cloud is recognized for high costs, justified by its extensive features and integration. It is ideal for large enterprises seeking significant efficiency gains. Ivanti Neurons follows a subscription model beneficial for budget-minded small and medium enterprises. Though perceived as costly, Ivanti's ROI is realized through automation and decreased operational expenses.

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.

Improved customer service and post-sales support saves time

The solution could be more affordable as it's quite expensive for some organizations, particularly middle-sized companies. Additionally, finding technical talent for improving the solution is challenging. Configuring Flows in Salesforce Service Cloud is very difficult. There are very few technical people in the market capable of implementing all the flows that clients need at this moment. It's primarily a matter of talent limitation, and flow is the technical mechanism of Salesforce Service Cloud for process automation. In general, while they have the knowledge and help solve problems, finding the right person to address specific issues is very challenging.

Pros

"HEAT Service Management is good for asset and service desk management. It is the focal point for this solution."

"It is easy to set up."

"The solution's installation depends on its customization. It is easy."

"I like Cloud Neurons. Since it's a cloud version, it's much easier to enhance productivity because it collects all the information automatically."

"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."

"It is relatively cost-effective compared to other options like ServiceNow. Additionally, it is highly stable."

"This is an excellent alternative to ServiceNow for smaller companies."

"The solution is easy to use and has a user-friendly interface"

More Ivanti Neurons for ITSM pros

"The most valuable feature of the solution is the traceability of actions."

"We used Salesforce Service Cloud for CRM (customer relationship management) cases and general sales cases."

"Nobody can compete with Salesforce Service Cloud's scalability."

"Salesforce Service Cloud is a user-friendly and flexible CRM tool that provides good accessibility and security."

"It's a cloud tool, so it is easy to set up."

"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."

"The main benefit of Salesforce Service Cloud is that everything is in the cloud. We can track the entire customer journey from lead to account or opportunity. The CRM is in the cloud, while the financial transactions are in NetSuite. By integrating these applications, we get a complete view of the business. Some integrations are event-driven, while others are batch integrations that run at scheduled times. We also build reports using our in-house analytics tool to help leadership make decisions."

"The interface is quite user-friendly."

More Salesforce Service Cloud pros

Cons

"Configuration requirements are extensive, even in basic Service Desk processes."

"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."

"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."

"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."

More Ivanti Neurons for ITSM cons

"The product should be capable of delivering complex reports as per company requirements without the need for a Tableau license."

"One minor drawback is that its implementation requires some preparation. It's not something you can implement instantly; it takes time. The only issue I've encountered is that you need to ensure the implementation is done properly, which can be time-consuming. So, it requires some time and attention."

"I'm not deeply engaged with this team, so I don't have extensive experience with it. As you mentioned, I haven't used it much yet, so my experience is limited."

"The pricing of Salesforce Service Cloud is expensive compared to other solutions like our current SAP CRM, which is much cheaper."

"Reporting could be improved."

"Since customization can increase the cost from an implementation standpoint, we focus on showcasing Service Cloud's built-in features and possibilities."

"There are some issues with backend connectivity in Salesforce Service Cloud."

"I would like to add some bot features."

More Salesforce Service Cloud cons

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 price is on the higher side. The support is included in the standard licensing fees."

"The product is affordable for small businesses."

"The solution is priced at 50 dollars a month per user."

"The tool is pretty expensive."

"Only enterprise businesses can afford the solution, and small companies cannot afford it."

"The product is expensive. There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the product."

"I believe that in our country, Colombia, we utilize this platform for the Latin American region. In terms of expenses, it's somewhat higher compared to other products. I would rate it as expensive and nine out of ten."

"Salesforce Service Cloud is a bit expensive."

"Salesforce is very cost-effective."

"Salesforce Service Cloud is expensive. I worked with ExactTarget over five years ago, and it was quite pricey then. Not everyone could afford it. Salesforce has different tiers for different kinds of users. It's expensive considering their features and services, but they offer best-in-class solutions."
