Anoir LOUHICHI - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Nikhil Gohil - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables effective incident management and seamless workflow automation with valuable mobile accessibility
I haven't thought deeply about improvements for ServiceNow or what might be missing right now. There are so many modules and features in ServiceNow that I haven't explored them all, so it's hard to say what might be missing or should be improved. I suggest making the cost more affordable for smaller companies.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The integrations are quite simple and clear."
"It is relatively cost-effective compared to other options like ServiceNow. Additionally, it is highly stable."
"Ivanti Neurons allows me to adjust our workflow according to our needs."
"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."
"The interface, workflow, and dashboards are powerful and easy to manage for tracking KPIs and sharing strategies with our customers."
"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."
"The solution's technical support is excellent. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"ServiceNow is one of the few easiest platforms you can integrate with products like Ansible to automate your workflows."
"ServiceNow is very easy to set up."
"I like the incident module, which is useful for tracking your incidents and other things. It is a reliable solution."
"The Workflow feature is the most valuable."
"The subsequent chain of tasks, I believe, is valuable."
"What I like the most is that it's a common service data model and the fact that everything is available on one platform."
"It uses a common base of data and allows different types of records to pull from that same base of data."
"It's great to do statuses or to review tasks."
 

Cons

"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."
"There could be an improvement in the ability to easily integrate other systems without extensive development."
"Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is not a user-friendly tool when compared to ServiceNow."
"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."
"The patching for non-Windows OSes such as Linux is poor."
"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."
"Perhaps one area that could see enhancement is at the hardware level, particularly regarding endpoint control."
"Time to respond from support could definitely be better, as the global support timing sometimes causes delays in interactions."
"It became kind of complex to set it up without a general lack of knowledge of the particular feature-function capabilities. Features and capabilities could have been explained better to the end-users."
"The interface can be a bit more intuitive."
"It's not user-friendly by default, but it can be customized to be customer-friendly."
"The solution should offer better security when it comes to storing data."
"Some enhancements to the self-service platform would be helpful. That part is still a little barebone... Also, the mobile app is not bad, but it's limited."
"The standard UI is very restricted. It doesn't look as good, compared to Remedy. Building your own UI requires some additional coding..."
"The Software Asset Management feature can be improved. We would like to see more features for the Software Asset Management functionality. Its price can also be better. It is currently more expensive than other solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is affordable for small businesses."
"The price is on the higher side. The support is included in the standard licensing fees."
"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."
"It is an expensive platform."
"The pricing is reasonable and affordable, making it suitable for businesses ranging from small to large scale."
"They could be more competitive with their licensing."
"It's sold as a less expensive solution, but it has to be highly modified. That's where you get into the cost."
"There are licensing fees."
"ServiceNow is an expensive solution."
"I have found the solution very expensive."
"I would say it is moderately expensive, ranging from six to seven on a scale of ten."
