Executive SummaryUpdated on Nov 3, 2024

SysAid and Ivanti Neurons for ITSM compete in the IT service management category. SysAid seems to have the upper hand due to its flexible deployment options, competitive pricing, and strong customer support.

Features: SysAid offers extensive customizability, allowing modifications from front-end to back-end integrations. Its BI Analytics module provides quick insights into operations, and a self-service portal simplifies user interactions. Ivanti Neurons for ITSM features powerful AI-driven hyper-automation, including self-healing capabilities and seamless cloud enhancements, with a robust ticketing system catering to ITSM & ITAM needs.

Room for Improvement: SysAid's knowledge base needs graphical and segmentation enhancements, while advanced role-based security and flexible reporting tools are also necessary.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: SysAid supports on-premises, private cloud, and public cloud deployments, alongside efficient technical and community support.

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.

A solution that streamlines ticket creation for the staff members of a business and enables efficient issue resolution by the IT team

SysAid is similar to Nintex AssureSign. Some of the back-end configurations of the solution are very difficult. So, we always need SysAid's help. Also, there are almost too many features that we are not taking advantage of in our company since we don't even know about them. A little bit of a streamlining or simplification of the main features would be a good improvement. I would like to see SysAid present its solution more easily. There is a lot in the solution, and it is more than what we need in our company.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"Everything in Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is excellent, and they are doing their best."

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

"Overall, the platform, in its abilities, is really powerful, especially now with AI as a part of hyper-automation."

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

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

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

"They allow us to automate ticketing processes and create requests more efficiently, improving our overall support operations."

More Ivanti Neurons for ITSM pros

"At our agency, people love SysAid."

"The only way we could have managed that growth was by having an application like SysAid."

"The solution provides us with multi-layered service management along with all our support pieces integrated in one system. Our entire system is run on SysAid, from Tier 1 to Tier 3. All the other IT department functionality is captured in SysAid, like development, warehousing, and application. So, it has vertical and horizontal coverage."

"SysAid is more user-friendly, and its configuration is easier than other tools."

"Overall the administrative side does save you costs in terms of resources and time."

"I would say the overall flexibility of the product is its most valuable feature."

"The SysAid team provided excellent service to implement the solution for us. From the very first day, we received a comp manager, and a project manager, to implement the product. They continued to inquire about our business needs and then finalized the best path for us."

"I really like the SysAid self-service portal; it's very customizable and we can customize it to fit our needs rather well."

More SysAid pros

Cons

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

"There's a lack of integration with other products. This needs to be improved."

"We'd like more integration with solutions like SolarWinds."

"There could be an improvement in the ability to easily integrate other systems without extensive development."

"Currently, the solution only supports SOAP web services, but a REST interface is on the roadmap and has been confirmed for mid-next year."

"The user interface must be made simpler and more effective."

"Perhaps one area that could see enhancement is at the hardware level, particularly regarding endpoint control."

"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."

More Ivanti Neurons for ITSM cons

"One of the features that I'm hoping comes at some point is that currently you can only have one Knowledge Base instance within it. For me, it would be beneficial to have multiple instances for different purposes. I'd like to have a completely separate one for customers and the only way I can achieve that right now, where I can tag articles to only be viewed by customers, would be if I use its portal function."

"SysAid has fewer AI features compared to other tools."

"The administrative side of the user interface could be a little more user-friendly."

"So far, we're very happy with the new integration. The only thing that I would like to see is for them to improve asset management so that it's more usable. We looked at it once and we didn't find it quite usable for us. That's why we didn't use it. We haven't looked into the new one yet but the asset management is something that can be improved even more and patch management is not as good as it could be."

"The automation needs improvement. The workflow has some improvements to do."

"The administrative side of the user interface could be a little more user-friendly. It is easier for me to export our reports into Excel, then do a server retrieval and get the information. Whereas, to do a report, you have to go through a configuration type of process, which is kind of difficult and complicated. I have been using this solution for two years now and I still haven't gotten the hang of the reports."

"From my perspective, it's a little bit of a legacy system in our IT landscape."

"Some of the back-end configurations of the solution are very difficult. So, we always need SysAid's help."

More SysAid cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"The product is affordable for small businesses."

"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."

"Overall, the price is good. It's all about what you get for the base amount. From my perspective, you want to look at what you're getting out-of-the-box. SysAid does a good job of putting key stuff in the box for you."

"We saw our investment back at the end of year one."

"Once you're interested, talk with SysAid. You can have them come in and look at your company and advise you on the best solution. They will tell you what comes with each separate package and also advise you what application to activate. If you want something that they don't have, they have a department that can design something based on your unique requests."

"The pricing of SysAid is less than its competitors."

"SysAid is a good solution, especially from a pricing perspective."

"Though I am not really sure about SysAid's prices, I know that it is competitive compared to some of the other products that our company looked at, like ConnectWise and ServiceNow."
