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

Pros

"Ivanti Neurons allows me to adjust our workflow according to our needs."
"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."
"Primarily, I believe the focus lies on discovery, workflow configuration, and automation."
"It is relatively cost-effective compared to other options like ServiceNow. Additionally, it is highly stable."
"It is easy to set up."
"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 solution's technical support is excellent. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The solution has a great filtering feature."
"The best part is the ability to keep records, especially incident records. It's easy to use the tool to store data and monitor it."
 

Cons

"There could be an improvement in the ability to easily integrate other systems without extensive development."
"There is room for improvement in terms of response time. The support team takes a long time to respond."
"There could be an improvement in the ability to easily integrate other systems without extensive development."
"Configuration requirements are extensive, even in basic Service Desk processes."
"The user interface must be made simpler and more effective."
"The patching for non-Windows OSes such as Linux is poor."
"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."
"Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is not a user-friendly tool when compared to ServiceNow."
"The setting up process is not quite easy. It's quite difficult."
"The system shuts down about once a month which is frustrating."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It is expensive."
