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.

Implement service management changes while addressing UI improvements
Topdesk's user interface makes it easy to handle requests and escalate them to other groups or reassign them when working on a single ticket. Additionally, the service management tool in HR allows for a change in delivering services, replacing email communication with ticket raising. The knowledge library enables the local HR to store and share relevant information and frequently asked cases, enhancing collaboration. The ticket system also facilitates escalating cases to other involved departments. IT, HR, and some other teams primarily use this system.

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."
"They allow us to automate ticketing processes and create requests more efficiently, improving our overall support operations."
"What I appreciate about Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is its comprehensive change request management system, which we utilize for server patching, workstation patching, BIOS updates, and driver updates, enabling us to have CAB meetings to discuss changes and approve them before implementation."
"Primarily, I believe the focus lies on discovery, workflow configuration, and automation."
"Overall, the platform, in its abilities, is really powerful, especially now with AI as a part of hyper-automation."
"Everything in Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is excellent, and they are doing their best."
"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."
"This solution has provided me with a well-defined process and interaction, compared to my previous tool, GLPI."
"It is an easy-to-use solution."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the incident management module."
"TOPdesk is overall very stable."
"The most valuable feature of TOPdesk is its ease of use if you have implemented it in the right way. If you're not implementing it in the right way, then it's very difficult."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the ticketing feature."
"When it comes to implementing new features, they listen to what their customers want via a suggestion forum that they have."
"The most valuable feature of TOPdesk is the reports."
 

Cons

"The patching for non-Windows OSes such as Linux is poor."
"I believe that short videos should be created and uploaded for newcomers to learn quickly since time can be limited."
"There could be an improvement in the ability to easily integrate other systems without extensive development."
"The user interface must be made simpler and more effective."
"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."
"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."
"The solution's change management could be better."
"All companies have processes that need to be adjusted. When you have a change, you need to name it, and many companies have a set of changes you can use. It would be helpful if there were more space in TOPdesk to name the change or use metadata to record the kinds of changes."
"Change management implementation, facility management, and making reservations on assets can be improved."
"This solution is modular so you only buy what you need, but I prefer what some companies are doing where they include everything in the package."
"From a UI perspective, there is room for improvement. It sometimes takes many steps to do something simple, like creating or moving a knowledge item."
"If I open a ticket on the infrastructure team, I can't move it to the financial team for them to manage the ticket."
"An operator is also a user but requires creating two different records."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"The solution is inexpensive compared to competitors."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable and not expensive."
"Compared to other products in this segment, I think that they are priced well and not too expensive."
"The cost of the solution on a yearly basis is $20,000. Technical support is not extra. It's included in the yearly cost. Updates are also included. The solution is good at keeping its product up to date."
"There are three fee options to choose from for a company and these options compared to market prices are very high. For example, if I use one of the first options for 10 assets, then it costs 20,000 Euros. If you went to competitors, then you pay less."
"TOPdesk's pricing is cheaper than Jira's."
