Featured Reviews

Sanjay Mukhopadhyay - PeerSpot reviewer
The solution comes with a host of features for hyper-automation
The initial setup is a mix of complex and straightforward because it depends on which modules you are implementing for ITSM. There are a lot of complex workflows and SLAs around the workflow. We have to configure much more complex things than just Patch Management and Endpoint. For example, it might not take even two weeks to roll out APM for 10,000 assets, but it will take three months to roll out ITSM for 10,000 assets and an equal number of users. That's because the modules you were implementing require much more knowledge, and there are a lot of complexities and nitty-gritties inside the tool which need to be understood. ITSM skill sets are in demand because reaching an L3 certification is not easy. We have those certified skill sets. That's why we're able to roll out at a fast pace. With standard documentation available, it's very clear for a certified resource to understand step-wise implementation. For every step, there is a "build and test" approach. It's a continuous integration. You follow this process, so you don't suddenly realize there are many issues at the end of setup. You have to keep testing each module and process as you roll out. It's not complex, but you need to know the product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This is an excellent alternative to ServiceNow for smaller companies."
"It is easy to set up."
"HEAT Service Management is good for asset and service desk management. It is the focal point for this solution."
"I like Cloud Neurons. Since it's a cloud version, it's much easier to enhance productivity because it collects all the information automatically."
"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."
"It is relatively cost-effective compared to other options like ServiceNow. Additionally, it is highly stable."
"Ivanti Neurons allows me to adjust our workflow according to our needs."
"The integrations are quite simple and clear."
"The most valuable features of this solution are Incident and Request Management."
"The centralized feature allows us to track test cases and integrate with automation and bug fixing."
"Confluence is a great tool for documentation and tracking."
"Everyone knows how to use it, so there's no need to teach new members."
"We can track, monitor, and get all the details we need from the end-user's point of view for any service request."
"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 solution offers lots of information on the website to assist with technical queries. There are also many community sites to help you troubleshoot any problems."
"Jira Service Management is flexible. It is easy to navigate without requiring extra learning. The user experience has been good."
 

Cons

"They could provide product integration with popular platforms."
"There is room for improvement in terms of response time. The support team takes a long time to respond."
"Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is not a user-friendly tool when compared to ServiceNow."
"The user interface must be made simpler and more effective."
"We'd like more integration with solutions like SolarWinds."
"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."
"There could be an improvement in the ability to easily integrate other systems without extensive development."
"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."
"I'd like to update the dashboard so that more features are available."
"JIRA protects the end-user, but for the configuration, more rules could be added to improve the workflow."
"It has change management and incident management, but CMDB is not there. It's also not as user-friendly as ServiceNow."
"There should be better connections with access management. They should improve the connectivity."
"It would be useful to be ale to link tickets across different gantt charts in Jira and Confluence."
"An AI feature that enables automation and alerts for users can be an improvement."
"Usability needs improvement. To configure it, you need to be well versed in Jira administration. It's not very intuitive."
"Jira Service Management is expensive and not worth the money compared to monday.com."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is affordable for small businesses."
"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 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 pricing is free for us because we are an associate partner for the product."
"Right now, there are only two of us who are both agents on the help desk and developers. We might be on the free version because we're less than three agents or users. I'm looking at Zephyr tests, which have a $10 a month flat rate, so right now, it is $10 a month. There are lots of add-ons. They do a free version, a standard version, and a premium version. In the last company, we started on $50 a month. By the time I left, we were paying $4,500 a month. That was mainly because we had 100 users on Confluence. I bought an add-on for Jira software for which we had 10 users, and that was $5 per user per month. It was costing me $500 a month, whereas it should only be $50 a month. I don't know if licensing fee has changed. I'd like our whole company to use it, but the big problem is the licensing because the Confluence side is what is really useful, but if I add 30 users to Confluence and then buy an extension for Jira software, I've got to pay for 30 licenses, even though I've only got two users in Jira software. It is the one big disadvantage of cloud software. You always have to pay for the number of seats regardless of which product you are on. This will probably severely limit how many people would use it because I'm not going to start paying $10 per user per month for a Jira software add-on when there are only two people using it."
"Licensing can become quite expensive."
"On a scale of one to five, with one being really high and five being good, I would rate the price of this solution as a four."
"Buying a software solution is only a half part of the solution (or even less). You need to optimize usage of the software by hiring professionals who will help you to make the most of the software, especially in the beginning."
"I would suggest to always buy licenses through an Atlassian partner, so you can also rely on their expertise."
"The cost has recently increased. It might be around $20 to $25 per user license."
"On a scale of one to five, where five is a good price and one is high, I would rate this solution as a three. It isn't cheap but it's not ridiculous."
