Very useful for ticketing and billing purposes
In this case, we have the ability to fire on tasks. An email can be sent, and it is being received into the Kaseya tool or Autotask. Autotask then can parse the email appropriately and route it based on the rules that we set up. In that sense, it's very dynamic, and I can immediately identify which client is making a support request. It can route it to the appropriate queue and then send out the appropriate notifications. As work is done on the ticket, you can also notify the person requesting support or other pre-designated contacts so that they're kept in the loop. ConnectWise PSA is making its updates, and its integration with Office 365 has been really good. I like the fact that the solution integrates with IT Glue. ConnectWise PSA is making improvements, and it's a little bit more dynamic. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product has been pretty stable so far."
"Contact integration to customers faster way to update the ticket searching for tickets when it is needed."
"We like the way that ConnectWise is completely integrated. So you when you identify an opportunity, you can save it, and ConnectWise pushes it through to the whole invoicing process."
"We are able to use our ticket system to track any remediation of a device stored in our configurations."
"It's a pretty simple web interface. The rules engine was really easy to set up, and it ingests emails very well."
"It's a nice ticketing system."
"ConnectWise has changed the way our entire business works."
"All the features of ConnectWise Manage are valuable. However, ticketing, customer management, customer communication, technician efficiency, calendars, coding, billing, invoicing, and contract management are available. It's a complete solution. Additionally, the company is responsive with the ability to progress or make necessary changes happen."
"The solution is easy to use and has a user-friendly interface"
"Our First Call Close rate for the Service Desk was 70-80% once we got all the workflows and Notes and Question screens populated."
"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."
"The main feature for us is incident management, as it assists me in knowing my assignments because we have group assignments and when we go to the group assignment they can assign it to me there."
"This is an excellent alternative to ServiceNow for smaller companies."
"Understand that this product is a great investment."
"Primarily, I believe the focus lies on discovery, workflow configuration, and automation."
"The solution is easy to use and has a user-friendly interface."
 

Cons

"All other ticket systems can search previous tickets, whether they were homegrown in Oracle or something else. I'm talking about searching the actual contents of the discussions in the ticket. In ConnectWise, you can only search the summaries. It's ridiculous."
"Sometimes it is a little bit slow, which is the only complaint I have about it."
"The UX for general users can be improved as the UI is quite clunky and complicated."
"The login issues with the cache always needing to be cleared."
"Not a good ticketing system"
"The speed could be better, and the reporting could be a lot better."
"The technical support of ConnectWise PSA is not very good."
"ConnectWise Manage can improve third-party integrations and the UI. The UI is good but it could improve in the graphics."
"Support needs improvement in terms of responsiveness and timeliness."
"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."
"I believe that short videos should be created and uploaded for newcomers to learn quickly since time can be limited."
"Currently, the solution only supports SOAP web services, but a REST interface is on the roadmap and has been confirmed for mid-next year."
"Configuration requirements are extensive, even in basic Service Desk processes."
"There's a lack of integration with other products. This needs to be improved."
"Because it is so new, the really valuable processes like Release, Availability, and Financial Management are just bare bones."
"We'd like more integration with solutions like SolarWinds."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost can be the main barrier. It's not a solution for a three person company. It just isn't going to be cost effective. Because ConnectWise Manage does have everything there, the licensing is a little bit restrictive as far as how they want to granularly assign licenses rather than having more of an all-inclusive package."
"The pricing is not based on my clients so much as it is on how many people I have accessing the system, and I think it's pretty good."
"The pricing of ConnectWise Manage is reasonable."
"We're paying $940 a month for 14 users."
"There are some different add-ons and benefits that are optional and come at an additional cost."
"I have one monthly license for all of the ConnectWise products I use, and it's $85 per user."
"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."
