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.

Detects incidents quickly, improves our SLA performance and solves issues faster
We mainly use it for incident logging. We'd like to add service request functionality, but we don't have the knowledge to configure the requests and the workflows properly. We'd like to integrate our workflows with the incident management, so we use it to manage our work better. We'd like to implement the service request feature. Right now, we just record everything as incidents. Some activities can take a long time, maybe one or two weeks. This makes it hard to maintain a good SLA, even if we work hard. So, response speed and workflow improvements.

"Everything in Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is excellent, and they are doing their best."

"It is easy to set up."

Cons

"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."
"There's a lack of integration with other products. This needs to be improved."
"I believe that short videos should be created and uploaded for newcomers to learn quickly since time can be limited."
"They could provide product integration with popular platforms."
"There could be an improvement in the ability to easily integrate other systems without extensive development."
"Support needs improvement in terms of responsiveness and timeliness."
"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."
"The system shuts down about once a month which is frustrating."
"The setting up process is not quite easy. It's quite difficult."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is affordable for small businesses."
"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."
"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."
"It is expensive."
