Anoir LOUHICHI - PeerSpot reviewer
Integration flexibility and informative dashboards enable effective workflow management
Ivanti Neurons allows me to adjust our workflow according to our needs. It offers flexibility, integration with our solution, sends alerts, and provides information about service availability. The tool also allows me to manage partners and deal with recurrent incidents and errors. The interface, workflow, and dashboards are powerful and easy to manage for tracking KPIs and sharing strategies with our customers.
MARIA PILAR CANDA - PeerSpot reviewer
Improved customer service and post-sales support saves time
The solution could be more affordable as it's quite expensive for some organizations, particularly middle-sized companies. Additionally, finding technical talent for improving the solution is challenging. Configuring Flows in Salesforce Service Cloud is very difficult. There are very few technical people in the market capable of implementing all the flows that clients need at this moment. It's primarily a matter of talent limitation, and flow is the technical mechanism of Salesforce Service Cloud for process automation. In general, while they have the knowledge and help solve problems, finding the right person to address specific issues is very challenging.

Quotes from Members

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

"The solution's technical support is excellent. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The solution is easy to use and has a user-friendly interface"
"The integrations are quite simple and clear."
"HEAT Service Management is good for asset and service desk management. It is the focal point for this solution."
"They allow us to automate ticketing processes and create requests more efficiently, improving our overall support operations."
"We use Salesforce Service Cloud for lead management and opportunity management."
"I don't have the specific details, but I'm aware that Salesforce is used for campaigns, decision-making processes, and order submissions. I'm currently in the learning phase and not familiar with all the details."
"It’s feasible to configure the platform according to the specific processes utilised. Customization of the platform could be carried out based on the techniques we employ."
"It is a stable product."
"In terms of visibility to my boss and the team, it does help a lot."
"The solution is a great product. It's hosted on a platform that offers various features, such as email, social media, phone calls, and chatbots. You can connect with customers through any of these channels."
"The instant input of feedback into the CRM systems by case management is one of the impactful features"
"Salesforce accelerates time to market and streamlines workflows through automation. Integrating with other software systems, such as HR or ERP platforms, allows for seamless data exchange and enhances efficiency."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in terms of response time. The support team takes a long time to respond."
"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."
"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."
"Support needs improvement in terms of responsiveness and timeliness."
"Configuration requirements are extensive, even in basic Service Desk processes."
"There could be an improvement in the ability to easily integrate other systems without extensive development."
"The patching for non-Windows OSes such as Linux is poor."
"We'd like more integration with solutions like SolarWinds."
"The solution's integration with the main ERP is a little cumbersome."
"There is room for improvement in pricing."
"The pricing of Salesforce Service Cloud is expensive compared to other solutions like our current SAP CRM, which is much cheaper."
"I would like to add some bot features."
"The product should be capable of delivering complex reports as per company requirements without the need for a Tableau license."
"I'm not deeply engaged with this team, so I don't have extensive experience with it. As you mentioned, I haven't used it much yet, so my experience is limited."
"Salesforce Service Cloud should work more on the resolution side. Once a case is raised and activities are tracked, at the time of closure, they could make it more simple."
"The main concern for me revolves around the speed of certain integrations."
 

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 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."
"The product is affordable for small businesses."
"The licensing is flexible. Companies pay for what they use. However, a company with very small needs might find it difficult to justify the cost. Overall, it's in the medium price range."
"Salesforce Service Cloud is a highly expensive solution"
"Salesforce is very cost-effective."
"Salesforce Service Cloud is a bit expensive."
"The price is too expensive."
"Salesforce is not a cheap product. It can be expensive."
"The price of the solution depends on how many users need access to it"
"Only enterprise businesses can afford the solution, and small companies cannot afford it."
