Featured Reviews

Manager - Technical Support at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
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.

Implement service management changes while addressing UI improvements
Topdesk's user interface makes it easy to handle requests and escalate them to other groups or reassign them when working on a single ticket. Additionally, the service management tool in HR allows for a change in delivering services, replacing email communication with ticket raising. The knowledge library enables the local HR to store and share relevant information and frequently asked cases, enhancing collaboration. The ticket system also facilitates escalating cases to other involved departments. IT, HR, and some other teams primarily use this system.

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."
"There's a lack of integration with other products. This needs to be improved."
"They could provide product integration with popular platforms."
"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."
"Perhaps one area that could see enhancement is at the hardware level, particularly regarding endpoint control."
"The process to add fields is time consuming and requires the system to be offline while you apply an Edit Set."
"Support needs improvement in terms of responsiveness and timeliness."
"The user interface must be made simpler and more effective."
"The solution's change management could be better."
"It is time-consuming to add new users."

"This solution is modular so you only buy what you need, but I prefer what some companies are doing where they include everything in the package."
"If I open a ticket on the infrastructure team, I can't move it to the financial team for them to manage the ticket."
"Change management implementation, facility management, and making reservations on assets can be improved."
"An operator is also a user but requires creating two different records."
 

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 price is on the higher side. The support is included in the standard licensing fees."
"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."
"The cost of the solution on a yearly basis is $20,000. Technical support is not extra. It's included in the yearly cost. Updates are also included. The solution is good at keeping its product up to date."
"There are three fee options to choose from for a company and these options compared to market prices are very high. For example, if I use one of the first options for 10 assets, then it costs 20,000 Euros. If you went to competitors, then you pay less."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable and not expensive."
"Compared to other products in this segment, I think that they are priced well and not too expensive."
"The solution is inexpensive compared to competitors."
"TOPdesk's pricing is cheaper than Jira's."
