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.

Comprehensive workflows and data views have supported complex teams but still need cost improvements
JIRA Service Management is costly. The pricing structure needs improvement. When I add some plugins, I have to pay the cost for every user whether they are using it or not. For smaller companies, the detailed workflow editing and the kind of details that JIRA Service Management provides would be complex. For startups and smaller companies, JIRA Service Management would be complex. The cloud offering is easier because I don't have to manage the infrastructure. There are two templates of the project: company-managed and team-managed. Team-managed is a newer feature, which is good for startup-kind companies where they don't need control over data from multiple projects displaying in one dashboard. For startups, JIRA Service Management is somewhat complex with its schemes and everything. Capacity management should be improved in terms of additional features in the next release of JIRA Service Management.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's installation depends on its customization. It is easy."
"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."
"They allow us to automate ticketing processes and create requests more efficiently, improving our overall support operations."
"This is an excellent alternative to ServiceNow for smaller companies."
"HEAT Service Management is a great tool for assets, service desk, and customer service management."
"The interface, workflow, and dashboards are powerful and easy to manage for tracking KPIs and sharing strategies with our customers."
"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."
"Understand that this product is a great investment."
"I find the Kanban chart where we put each story in to be the most valuable feature. We use the Kanban chart to revise the project every morning in our five-minute meeting."
"It has improved our work in a number of ways. First, it has made everything much faster. Before Jira Service Management, it could take weeks to resolve a ticket."
"The most valuable features of this solution are Incident and Request Management."
"The solution is easy, even if you want to dock on something, it's easy to add the documentation and it easily integrates with other tools."
"This solution has helped us a great deal in project management tracking and forecasting."
"The solution has improved company functioning by providing more transparency, in my opinion."
"We previously used ITAM, BMC Remedy and some other tools, and JIRA Service Management is comparatively better."
"Jira is becoming quite popular and is well supported."
 

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."
"There could be an improvement in the ability to easily integrate other systems without extensive development."
"We'd like more integration with solutions like SolarWinds."
"Support needs improvement in terms of responsiveness and timeliness."
"There is room for improvement in terms of response time. The support team takes a long time to respond."
"I believe that short videos should be created and uploaded for newcomers to learn quickly since time can be limited."
"The support that we're currently getting is just not there."
"The initial setup is very complex."
"The product could improve its asset management."
"JSM's ability to handle large volumes of emails isn't great."
"In general, JIRA has no relation to customers or financials. Therefore, marketplace add-ons are needed to make it work for customer-facing systems."
"The user interface becomes sluggish when there are many items in the database, especially large Product Backlogs. I've had page-load times of more than 30 seconds on modern clients, and that's just unacceptable."
"If JIRA were more of a substantial stand-alone product that covered more needs for project management, we wouldn't be using a suite of products."
"The product does not allow customization of reports."
"The product could improve its asset management."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Do not forget to calculate add-on costs. These cost a percentage of the JIRA purchasing costs and are based on the number of JIRA users."
"Actually in Iran we don't have copyright or intellectual property, so we can use JIRA for free."
"The pricing is very competitive and I think that it is okay."
"JIRA Service Desk has different pricing as it is based on agents. On average, the price is about $300 per agent."
"We need a license because we have a higher number than the free part."
"It is a cheaply priced product."
"It's not really expensive, especially when you compare to ServiceNow or other solutions, and it's not expensive to maintain."
"The price of JIRA Service Management could be reduced."
