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

"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 solution's installation depends on its customization. It is easy."
"The solution is easy to use and has a user-friendly interface"
"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."
"It is relatively cost-effective compared to other options like ServiceNow. Additionally, it is highly stable."
"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."
"Very good incident management, chain management and problem management features."
"The solution has very good automation tools."
"I really like ServiceNow and all of the features. The way incident management is built is very helpful. You have a lot of options to optimize it, customize it, and automate it. You also have a lot of options for reporting. There are plenty of possibilities to do preference management within your customer CMDB file. These are very useful features, which I missed in BMC Remedy ITSM. ServiceNow is the best ticketing tool I have used so far."
"ServiceNow is easy to use and has a user-friendly interface."
"The solution is stable, scalable and easy to use."
"It has more extensive features as compared to the other competitors."
"Great that it's knowledge-based and you can use the flows in ServiceNow."
"Your time-to-market, or TTM, becomes faster when you use ServiceNow. Even individuals that are not tech savvy can quickly change processes and workflows in it. This can make the organization as a whole more agile."
 

Cons

"The patching for non-Windows OSes such as Linux is poor."
"There is room for improvement in terms of response time. The support team takes a long time to respond."
"The user interface must be made simpler and more effective."
"They could provide product integration with popular platforms."
"Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is not a user-friendly tool when compared to ServiceNow."
"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 could be an improvement in the ability to easily integrate other systems without extensive development."
"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."
"For healthcare, which is a pretty audited environment, there are no concrete solutions for digital signatures, apart from our license with Adobe, so it requires orchestration."
"For me, there's a real opportunity, especially within the IT Service Management suite, to give a much better overall view of the workflow that individuals have across the different applications. At the moment, a lot of information is quite siloed in the different tables in ServiceNow."
"I have a problem with the way the solution's price is calculated."
"I would like to see more functionality in terms of custom workflows, not impacting the overall platform health."
"There are a few things that it needs to improve, like automation of most things out-of-the-box. For example, when it comes to cloud management, we are still going with manual intervention. Instead of that, if we had an out-of-the-box feature available, that would be great."
"We find it good in general. Obviously, there are areas of improvement for every capability. As they evolve more, if they keep on adding more intelligence into the capabilities, it will improve. The improvement areas are more integration across the landscape and more intelligence for the overall capability of the solution."
"ServiceNow claims to help a lot, but once you sell the product, it's as if you're on your own."
"The scalability needs improvement."
 

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."
"We know that ServiceNow is not cheap, it's more expensive than other solutions. But we are trying to increase our ability to handle tickets so that the cost per ticket is less."
"We are happy with the pricing."
"Initially, the licensing model ServiceNow came up with was very good. But now, from a licensing perspective, they are changing their model day by day. It is becoming a bit expensive for customers."
"The price of the solution is comparable to industry standards. For the features that we received, it is reasonable."
"It is an expensive platform."
"They could be more competitive with their licensing."
"The mandatory minimum is US$ 20,000 for licensing."
"There is an annual subscription to use this solution."
