The product helps users track their assets, but the user interface must be made simpler
Customers approach us to implement the solution. So, we collect the details of their processes and help them with the implementation The product helps our customers track their assets without hassle. They can easily recognize their assets by manual entries and make comparisons. The integrations…

Integrates well with existing network infrastructure and has a straightforward setup process
The use cases for the platform include managing servers, endpoints, and desktops to apply operating system updates and address the company's security requirements.  When I contact a customer using this tool, I don't receive requests to change it. Customers have a large ecosystem of Microsoft…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Overall, the platform, in its abilities, is really powerful, especially now with AI as a part of hyper-automation."
"Primarily, I believe the focus lies on discovery, workflow configuration, and automation."
"It is easy to set up."
"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."
"They allow us to automate ticketing processes and create requests more efficiently, improving our overall support operations."
"HEAT Service Management is good for asset and service desk management. It is the focal point for this solution."
"The solution's technical support is excellent. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The solution's installation depends on its customization. It is easy."
"Many more features than other comparable products."
"A very convenient package like an all-in-one tool but it is actually five or six products acting well together."
"The most valuable feature is the reporting of incidents."
"The support from Microsoft is good and we also have local support on the ground in Nigeria."
"The solution is quite easy to integrate with other Microsoft products."
"The call logging is the solution's most valuable feature. It's very easy to use."
"I've used SCSM a lot, and its features are valuable."
"It is one of the most stable solutions in the market."
 

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."
"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."
"They could provide product integration with popular platforms."
"We'd like more integration with solutions like SolarWinds."
"There is room for improvement in terms of response time. The support team takes a long time to respond."
"Support needs improvement in terms of responsiveness and timeliness."
"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."
"Better integration with other services in Azure is needed because everything is moving from on-premises to the cloud, and as an integrator, we have to help our clients with the migration."
"The logs and reporting-related features of the product have certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The price of this solution is high and it needs to be cheaper."
"It crashes our client's computers. Sometimes they get blue screens. It would be useful if SCSM could check the upgrades or patches before we implemented them to see if they are going to crash a client's system. Or, if it does install, and the client's system crashes, it would be good if the solution could revert back somehow."
"Resources for understanding compliance and relative compliance need to be made available."
"They might be looking for additional functionalities that SCSM could integrate."
"I have found SCSM not adequate enough to carry out some functions."
"It's not too hard to compile stuff but it is hard to manage the solution. Even the design itself makes it difficult for management."
 

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."
"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."
"I would rate the pricing as two out of five."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The price should be lower."
"It is a lower price vs. other things on the market."
"The platform is competitively priced."
"The license for SCSM is cheap."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The price of the solution could be better. My organization has an enterprise annual license with Microsoft which provides us support."
