Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""It is easy to set up.""The solution's installation depends on its customization. It is easy.""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 integrations are quite simple and clear.""Primarily, I believe the focus lies on discovery, workflow configuration, and automation.""Overall, the platform, in its abilities, is really powerful, especially now with AI as a part of hyper-automation."

More Ivanti Neurons for ITSM Pros →

"The solution is a highly mature product. Because of this, it can stand up to any other product on the market."

More Serviceaide ChangeGear Pros →

"It is easily configurable and has a good developer society online, available for any issues from the backend.""Everything about the schema, including the design of ServiceNow, is great.""ServiceNow offers a range of ITSM, IT incident management, and PRCPs.""It can scale well if you are managing IT assets.""We have found change management and CMDB to be very useful.""Makes ticket information easy to access.""It uses a common base of data and allows different types of records to pull from that same base of data.""There are many expansions available."

More ServiceNow Pros →

Cons
"There's a lack of integration with other products. This needs to be improved.""Support needs improvement in terms of responsiveness and timeliness.""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.""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.""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.""Configuration requirements are extensive, even in basic Service Desk processes."

More Ivanti Neurons for ITSM Cons →

"The solution needs to improve its reporting features. The user interface needs a lot of improvements."

More Serviceaide ChangeGear Cons →

"I would like to see more functionality in terms of custom workflows, not impacting the overall platform health.""Where it could be improved is Discovery. This may sound odd since I just praised the value of ServiceNow Discovery, but improvements to its automatic detection, the breadth of devices, and the depth of devices covered, as well as keeping up with new technologies, are all essential.""A new user does need training or time to learn the solution before jumping in. It was very hard in the beginning to understand everything. I couldn't find the models I needed at the time.""The solution could be made cheaper. Machine learning and artificial intelligence should be introduced in the next release.""The standard UI is very restricted. It doesn't look as good, compared to Remedy. Building your own UI requires some additional coding...""There are a few things that it needs to improve, like automation of most things out-of-the-box. For example, when it comes to cloud management, we are still going with manual intervention. Instead of that, if we had an out-of-the-box feature available, that would be great.""They can maybe improve the area of agile project management. They do have user storyboards and other things, but we kind of lean on Jira for that work. This is perhaps an area that could be looked at a little more.""When it comes to changing some of the features, I would like a little more leeway."

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."
  • "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."

    Information Not Available
  • "The first impact for the customer is that it is expensive, but do not forget that it is a solution that includes infrastructure; a single cost, easy to justify."
  • "It has a higher cost compared to local/regional solutions."
  • "We know that ServiceNow is not cheap, it's more expensive than other solutions. But we are trying to increase our ability to handle tickets so that the cost per ticket is less."
  • "It's sold as a less expensive solution, but it has to be highly modified. That's where you get into the cost."
  • "ServiceNow pricing is an art, not a science. The deal depends on how commercially savvy you are, which does make it something that is quite difficult to get right. It is most definitely an opportunity area for ServiceNow to improve and have more visibility around pricing of the different products within the platform."
  • "ServiceNow is a leader and its pricing is quite good, quite competitive... Sometimes some plugins are not priced reasonably but, generally, the platform itself, its modules, are priced reasonably."
  • "Isn't pricing always too much? We really do chafe at the ITIL licensing. ITOM is also pretty expensive."
  • "Initially, the licensing model ServiceNow came up with was very good. But now, from a licensing perspective, they are changing their model day by day. It is becoming a bit expensive for customers."
