The user interface is easy to use, and the product performs well, but the dashboard and the monitoring features are limited

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

"Development of forms and flows."
"Bonitasoft helped us automate complicated and labor intensive processes"
"The solution is stable. Even the older versions are stable."
"Bonita is user-friendly, and the features are useful."
"One of the most valuable features is you can create without coding, it is a low code platform."
"Our lead generation system involves both automated and human tasks. By centralizing the workflow to our internal Bonita BPM system, we have improved the conversion rate (leads to customers) and lowered the number of leads dropped."
"I think Bizagi is a powerful software or tool for organization, but Bonita is user-friendly and easy-to-use — easier to use for development."
"When there is heavy customization in the process Bonita is the best compare to other products in the market."
"Ivanti Automation significantly simplifies IT infrastructure processes, handling access requests and facilitating various employee requests."
"Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is a key tool and is very important to my service delivery efficiency."
"HEAT Service Management is a great tool for assets, service desk, and customer service management."
"The most valuable feature of Ivanti Automation is the opportunity to use more or less any kind of scripting software."
"Everything in Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is excellent, and they are doing their best."
"The solution's technical support is excellent. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"Ivanti Neurons allows me to adjust our workflow according to our needs."
"Primarily, I believe the focus lies on discovery, workflow configuration, and automation."
 

Cons

"There is a considerable learning curve."
"The solution is stable. However, we have experienced a few bugs."
"It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone."
"So Bonita is easy to use but it seems to be missing some powerful features that competing products have."
"Scalability of the Bonita BPM Community version is low."
"We are struggling a bit with integrations."
"Bonita must add a rule engine. We are a 360-degree partner of Bonita. We can integrate with any kind of rule engine. We have a dashboard related to engine performance, but getting a configurable dashboard for the Buildium or transactional data will add value."
"The menus likely would be more intuitive if read in French. Things seem to be under strange headings at times."
"The user interface could be more futuristic and modernized in terms of styling and colors."
"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."
"There's a lack of integration with other products. This needs to be improved."
"There is room for improvement in terms of response time. The support team takes a long time to respond."
"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."
"Because it is so new, the really valuable processes like Release, Availability, and Financial Management are just bare bones."
"The process to add fields is time consuming and requires the system to be offline while you apply an Edit Set."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."
"Licensing cost for the Enterprise edition comes out to be around 40,000 a year. There is also a Community edition, which is free. Some customers can go for the Community edition, but some of them require the Enterprise edition. Big companies go for the Enterprise edition, which comes with a lot of additional features such as a mobile app."
"I am using the free version of Bonita."
"have installed the image of Bonita BPM on Amazon AWS and there is just one option to use and pay for."
"The Community Edition comes free of charge."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."
"I believe this is a very good financial choice."
"My customers do direct sales with Ivanti, and they complain that Ivanti Automation is more expensive than other solutions."
"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 product is affordable for small businesses."
"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."
