Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The fact that it aligns very well with ITIL. I think that's probably one of my favorite things about it, because it's following up a general best practice for service management.""Self-service interface means people can check their own tickets.""Clarity is flexible to implement and integrate. It gives the developer or consultant a broad space to work and customize based on what the customers want.""The most valuable fractures of Clarity SM are its ease of use and security. I have been highly satisfied. We've been able to integrate it with email and an SMS gateway for the purposes of notifications. That works very well.""The tool itself is valuable as a result of all its features combined. Therefore, I have found that there is no feature more valuable than another.""We especially like the look of xFlow. That looks very personal, so they can keep track of how things are going with their ticket, if it has been worked on, what the status of it is. It seems to be a little more user friendly. The user can see more from a distance right away.""The in-service catalog is quite useful.""It's fairly easy to use, from a UI standpoint."

"It is relatively cost-effective compared to other options like ServiceNow. Additionally, it is highly stable.""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.""It is easy to set up.""The solution is easy to use and has a user-friendly interface""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.""Primarily, I believe the focus lies on discovery, workflow configuration, and automation.""This is an excellent alternative to ServiceNow for smaller companies."

Cons
"The SDM administration and customisation needS deep information about architecture and vendor support continuously.""If I had to choose, it would be more around the user interface than the mobile experience.""The user interface is just boring. I'd like to see a more interactive UI, from the end-user perspective, and from the analyst's perspective. I would like a product that looks like it was developed maybe in 2015, or at least 2012.""Report solutions are a little short.""The product needs to have a better user experience in the interface and mobile functionality.​""​We would like to see them revamp, or rework, a lot of their configuration management database structures. We hear that is on the horizon.""One area that this product can improve is in the mobile user aspect.""More user experience in the look and feel of the application. ​"

More Clarity SM 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.""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.""We'd like more integration with solutions like SolarWinds.""The user interface must be made simpler and more effective.""Perhaps one area that could see enhancement is at the hardware level, particularly regarding endpoint control.""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."

  • More Clarity SM 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."
