Integration flexibility and informative dashboards enable effective workflow management
Ivanti Neurons allows me to adjust our workflow according to our needs. It offers flexibility, integration with our solution, sends alerts, and provides information about service availability. The tool also allows me to manage partners and deal with recurrent incidents and errors. The interface, workflow, and dashboards are powerful and easy to manage for tracking KPIs and sharing strategies with our customers.

"It is relatively cost-effective compared to other options like ServiceNow. Additionally, it is highly stable."
"It is easy to set up."
"The interface, workflow, and dashboards are powerful and easy to manage for tracking KPIs and sharing strategies with our customers."
"They allow us to automate ticketing processes and create requests more efficiently, improving our overall support operations."
"The solution is easy to use and has a user-friendly interface"
"I like Cloud Neurons. Since it's a cloud version, it's much easier to enhance productivity because it collects all the information automatically."
"HEAT Service Management is good for asset and service desk management. It is the focal point for this solution."
"The solution has a great filtering feature."
"The best part is the ability to keep records, especially incident records. It's easy to use the tool to store data and monitor it."
 

Cons

"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."
"There is room for improvement in terms of response time. The support team takes a long time to respond."
"There's a lack of integration with other products. This needs to be improved."
"There could be an improvement in the ability to easily integrate other systems without extensive development."
"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."
"Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is not a user-friendly tool when compared to ServiceNow."
"Perhaps one area that could see enhancement is at the hardware level, particularly regarding endpoint control."
"The setting up process is not quite easy. It's quite difficult."
"The system shuts down about once a month which is frustrating."
 

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