It has customization features, lets you do network redirects via the DNS, and is stable and scalable
An area for improvement in AppSense is pricing because it's much higher than Citrix and VMware solutions. It's one of the virtualization software that allows user profile virtualization, but you can also find that capability in the lower-priced VMware and Citrix software. AppSense has many features but is more expensive, so it would be better if it had a reduced cost or the solution had more enhanced capabilities. For example, in group policies, you can maintain the redirections and registry settings through the group policy via PolicyPak, another third-party product for managing the group policy. If AppSense could have a configuration similar to what PolicyPak has, then that would make AppSense better. AppSense is OS-based, so when my company purchased it in the past, it could run on Windows 7. Eventually, Ivanti told my company that it no longer supported Windows 7, so my company had to purchase AppSense for Windows 10. In the future, the new version of AppSense should work on different Windows versions.

Unified endpoint control has improved patch workflows and streamlined remote device management
I like the patch management side of things in this solution. You can set deployment rings so patches are rolled out in phases rather than hitting everyone at once, which reduces risk. I quite like that feature. I also appreciate the endpoint visibility when you're in the dashboard. You can see device health, the compliance status, software inventory, and other information all in one place without jumping between tools. Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is a key tool and is very important to my service delivery efficiency. Since implementing it and having used it for two years, the ease of use is a significant advantage because it covers Windows, Mac OS, iOS, and Android, so I can operate and manage devices all from the same console. This is good in a mixed device environment. From a Windows perspective, the BitLocker key retrieval feature is very helpful. The analytics and reporting tools in this product are helpful. I can see device health and out-of-warranty status. This is crucial in keeping our environment up to date and secure.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the customization features of AppSense. It also allows you to push DNS settings, so if you want to redirect a network using the DNS, you can do that from AppSense, which I find beneficial."
"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."
"The solution's installation depends on its customization. It is easy."
"The interface, workflow, and dashboards are powerful and easy to manage for tracking KPIs and sharing strategies with our customers."
"Understand that this product is a great investment."
"Overall, the platform, in its abilities, is really powerful, especially now with AI as a part of hyper-automation."
"The most valuable feature of Ivanti Automation is the opportunity to use more or less any kind of scripting software."
"This is an excellent alternative to ServiceNow for smaller companies."
"Our First Call Close rate for the Service Desk was 70-80% once we got all the workflows and Notes and Question screens populated."
 

Cons

"An area for improvement in AppSense is pricing because it's much higher than Citrix and VMware solutions. In the future, the new version of AppSense should work on different Windows versions."
"I believe that short videos should be created and uploaded for newcomers to learn quickly since time can be limited."
"Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is not a user-friendly tool when compared to ServiceNow."
"Their cloud relay feature needs to improve to compete with other products in cloud solutions like Azure and AWS. It should be easier to deploy or provision images in the cloud with Ivanti Automation. Better Azure integration would also help."
"The user interface could be more futuristic and modernized in terms of styling and colors."
"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."
"We'd like more integration with solutions like SolarWinds."
"The support that we're currently getting is just not there."
"There's a lack of integration with other products. This needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate AppSense pricing as six out of ten because it's an expensive product, and the organization won't buy if it only requires limited configuration."
"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."
"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."
"My customers do direct sales with Ivanti, and they complain that Ivanti Automation is more expensive than other solutions."
