Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The integrations are quite simple and clear.""The solution is easy to use and has a user-friendly interface""It is easy to set up.""The solution's installation depends on its customization. It is easy.""This is an excellent alternative to ServiceNow for smaller companies.""Overall, the platform, in its abilities, is really powerful, especially now with AI as a part of hyper-automation.""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 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 most valuable features are the inventory and personalization.""Spiceworks' dashboard allows you to drill down to the notes, where I can take an inventory of the network and see the devices I need to monitor.""If you're in the market for a low-cost service desk system, Spiceworks is a good software solution to start out with, especially when it comes to startups and those organizations that don't currently have any existing service desk software in place.""The nice thing about Spiceworks is always it's free. Monitoring of printers for low toner. Finding machines that have low memory or low hard disk space.""The solution can find all asset details automatically, whether it's a Mac address, computer name, IP address, models, etc. It's very helpful.""The solution is very stable. It's reliable and efficient.""It shows the users that are currently logged in, which is not something that Active Directory by default will ever let you know up front.""Tickets by e-mail, with actions by hastag."

Cons
"We'd like more integration with solutions like SolarWinds.""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.""There is room for improvement in terms of response time. The support team takes a long time to respond.""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.""Configuration requirements are extensive, even in basic Service Desk processes."

More Ivanti Neurons for ITSM Cons →

"There are a lot of disadvantages to Spiceworks because it's not an agent-based solution.""Sometimes, it can be difficult to integrate what you need.""The GUI must be improved.""The network mapping could be improved. Putting together an actual bonafide network map would be really nice.""I would like the solution to allow for more direct interaction with computers. I can open tickets and I can see their status, but I can't interact directly with the computers themselves.""Once a device was recognized on the network, Spiceworks never got rid of it even after you took it off the network. You had to go in and manually remove it.""They've also tried to integrate it with social logins, like Twitter and LinkedIn, and that type of login authentication has no place in a corporate application.""It would be nice to have remote access to the solution via a tablet. They also need remote control from a PC. Right now, to complete the technical support process, you have to have a tool to access the PC, and check the problems."

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."

  • "The product is free! Get it now."
  • "It's free."
  • "It might be about $300 annually for a bigger company. If you pay annually, it's better and cheaper."
  • "Seeing that it is a low-cost solution, I would advise you to go ahead with Spiceworks and experiment with it to see if you can get things working properly, especially if you currently don't have any existing service desk software in place."
  • "The tool is cheap."

    I have researched a quite a few network monitoring tools which can be used for various monitoring purposes of not only the servers, but the intermediate routers as well. There are majorly three types of these softwares. Ones which are completely open-source, you can do almost anything you want using these, but they require quite some expertise before you can use them. Then there are the ones that are not open source, the enterprise softwares and cost you some money, but on the other hand, they are extremely easy to set-up and learn. You can have them up and running in a matter of minutes. And then there are those which are completely cloud based. They can be free of cost or charge some money depending on the software. The good thing about these is that you don’t have to install any extra software, and it can be managed completely online but then again these have limited features and you cannot exploit them to the full extent as you can do with the open-source and to some extent the enterprise software, so I won’t suggest you to use these, because these are generally not the complete solutions and require other support software to achieve the same. Below I have listed the outstanding pros and cons of the various Network analyzers that you can look into Nagios Pros: Nagios offers an extensive set of collector plug-ins that allows users to gather performance and availability data from a broad range of operating systems, including  Windows and Netware Nagios… Read more →
