Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution's installation depends on its customization. It is easy.""The solution's technical support is excellent. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten.""I like Cloud Neurons. Since it's a cloud version, it's much easier to enhance productivity because it collects all the information automatically.""The integrations are quite simple and clear.""The solution is easy to use and has a user-friendly interface""This is an excellent alternative to ServiceNow for smaller companies.""HEAT Service Management is good for asset and service desk management. It is the focal point for this solution.""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 one of the most stable solutions in the market.""We use SCSM to manage all of our IT operations, including incident and service requests and problem management.""The support from Microsoft is good and we also have local support on the ground in Nigeria.""SCSM is easy to learn because all of the material, including training videos, can be found online.""For our cloud-based deployment of SCSM, the Autopilot is the best feature.""The reporting is very good.""A very convenient package like an all-in-one tool but it is actually five or six products acting well together.""The call logging is the solution's most valuable feature. It's very easy to use."

Cons
"Support needs improvement in terms of responsiveness and timeliness.""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.""We'd like more integration with solutions like SolarWinds.""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.""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.""The patching for non-Windows OSes such as Linux is poor.""Configuration requirements are extensive, even in basic Service Desk processes."

"They need more integration with open-source products.""We would like to see a web-based interface that works on mobile devices.""The solution could be more simple. For example, it takes a lot of work to create reports. It runs on Microsoft SQL queries. Creating custom reports on ManageEngine takes less work from the administrator.""The price of this solution is high and it needs to be cheaper.""There is no development with this product, and we had to go and buy additional ITSM solutions to sit on top of it. We had to buy products from companies like Cireson and Cased Dimensions in order to get the functionality that we need out of it. So, we're using Service Manager as an engine, rather than as a full-blown product. It is the engine, but we have other products sitting on top of it to make it work properly.""My company had planned a few months ago to apply SCSM over the cloud in order to provide updates, like regular updates, but it had to be put through a few tools from Microsoft on the cloud, which was not easy.""It would be good if Microsoft added custom attributes or tagging like in Jamf.""Better integration with other services in Azure is needed because everything is moving from on-premises to the cloud, and as an integrator, we have to help our clients with the migration."

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."
  • More Ivanti Neurons for ITSM Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It is a lower price vs. other things on the market."
  • "It is an expensive solution."
  • "Licensing can be complex and confusing."
  • "The price should be lower."
  • "The price of the solution could be better. My organization has an enterprise annual license with Microsoft which provides us support."
  • "It comes free with the enterprise agreement that we have, but the expense really is in having to buy another product to sit on top of it to make it work properly. You wind up having to buy additional support and additional product with their own support and maintenance costs on top of that."
  • "The license for SCSM is cheap."
  • "I would rate the pricing as two out of five."
