Pros
"The most valuable features of the Ivanti Service Desk are service requests and incident management.""Incident management and service request management features are the most valuable.""It is highly configurable with PinkVERIFY status.""The tool supports a lot of standard reporting KPIs.""Ivanti offers us the flexibility to transform it from purely an internal IT tool to something we can use across multiple departments. There's now a queue of departments waiting to onboard and get their processes built. The flexibility within the workflow is excellent.""The best feature is that SLAs are automatically tracked, so when we breach something, we can set up email escalations as well.""Incident management is a valuable feature.""The initial setup was quite simple; installing just took a few minutes."

"It doesn't take long to develop an automation blueprint. You need about half an hour, and then you can install or deploy it on several systems. That was our first great advantage in the project because we urgently needed to deploy across many different systems.""The tool helps us to monitor the services provided to customers as a cloud provider. The product is a monitoring solution that helps customers pay for their utilization of services.""This solution has made us aware that we are over-provisioning our virtual machines.""The most valuable feature is that it has a very easy and adaptive look and feel, compared with some other cloud solutions.""The way the dashboard works with the main orchestrator to combine different types of cloud providers is helpful.""The product provides excellent daily reports.""The most valuable feature is that it allows us to compare the billing between the clouds.""The flexibility is the product's most valuable feature."

Cons
"When we need to implement changes, it usually takes two to three days to happen, making it a very time-consuming process.""The administrative side of it could be a little more intuitive. This is the side that you use to do customizations. It is very customizable, but it could be a bit more intuitive and user-friendly. Their support can also be better in terms of response time. Currently, their response time is a little slow.""The mobile service is minimal and doesn't provide sufficient capabilities.""You must be very technical to configure it.""The interface can be improved. It can be made more interactive for self-service users.""You have limited ability to customize how Ivanti renders. It's a fairly strict design that doesn't offer you much freedom to alter the rigid, two-column layout on the screen. You can choose between one column or two, but that's about it. The presentation is probably the biggest weakness.""The documentation for migration which includes migration from one version to another or cloud to on-premises is not available in detail. There is no proper planning on metadata updates. I am not able to do the data movement with the package push.""Ivanti Service Desk could improve the GUI because it is not as good as other solutions, such as BMC or ServiceNow. If Ivanti Service Desk works on the GUI and makes it more user-friendly, and its content more attractive it might help the solution in the long run."

More Ivanti Service Desk [EOL] Cons →

"It's not always easy to find the information you need. You must have a lot of technical experience to find the right location for what you're implementing within the program.""The knowledge base is not available for the engineers, which is something that needs to be improved.""The product needs some investment in configuration. I would like to see better and more optimized configuration in the tool's future releases.""The pricing model is complicated and would be more predictable if it were simplified.""If you haven't established a vSphere cluster and you only have a single server to integrate, you can't deploy any service.""The solution's private cloud is much too expensive.""I would like to have an easy way of modifying the reference data that is used for the purposes of estimating the total billing.""I would like it if they could provide their customers with more qualified support."
