Having everything in one location has significantly improved our efficiency and reporting
We use the solution for IT service management, it's the key process for recording incidents or problems, and change management. We are customers of Cherwell and I'm an enterprise architect.  Previously, the processes we now use Service Management for, were done manually. Implementing CSM has made…

The solution comes with a host of features for hyper-automation
The initial setup is a mix of complex and straightforward because it depends on which modules you are implementing for ITSM. There are a lot of complex workflows and SLAs around the workflow. We have to configure much more complex things than just Patch Management and Endpoint. For example, it might not take even two weeks to roll out APM for 10,000 assets, but it will take three months to roll out ITSM for 10,000 assets and an equal number of users. That's because the modules you were implementing require much more knowledge, and there are a lot of complexities and nitty-gritties inside the tool which need to be understood. ITSM skill sets are in demand because reaching an L3 certification is not easy. We have those certified skill sets. That's why we're able to roll out at a fast pace. With standard documentation available, it's very clear for a certified resource to understand step-wise implementation. For every step, there is a "build and test" approach. It's a continuous integration. You follow this process, so you don't suddenly realize there are many issues at the end of setup. You have to keep testing each module and process as you roll out. It's not complex, but you need to know the product.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"All our activities are carried out in the one place."
"The most valuable features are problem management and change management."
"The dashboard and the reporting functionality are the solution's most valuable features."
"Clear processes with transparent responsibilities led to more efficiencies within the teams."
"The dashboard is very useful to get a quick overview of current tasks."
"Its integration features, orchestration features, and discovery tools are the most valuable. It is also pretty stable, and it can be as scalable as you want."
"The solution's technical support is excellent. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"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 relatively cost-effective compared to other options like ServiceNow. Additionally, it is highly stable."
"They allow us to automate ticketing processes and create requests more efficiently, improving our overall support operations."
"HEAT Service Management is good for asset and service desk management. It is the focal point for this solution."
"The solution is easy to use and has a user-friendly interface"
"This is an excellent alternative to ServiceNow for smaller companies."
"Primarily, I believe the focus lies on discovery, workflow configuration, and automation."
 

Cons

"Application service mapping, GRC, SecOps, and things like that need improvement."
"Access is only available if we're on VPN."
"The stability, specifically in the on-premises deployment model, could be improved."
"Areas for improvement would be the service catalog and customer catalog, which is not very user-friendly. The shopping cart experience is also terrible - you submit and go straight to the cart, you can't continue shopping or see your overall cost."
"Perhaps one area that could see enhancement is at the hardware level, particularly regarding endpoint control."
"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."
"There's a lack of integration with other products. This needs to be improved."
"Support needs improvement in terms of responsiveness and timeliness."
"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."
"They could provide product integration with popular platforms."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For an ITIL user, the cost is probably about 50 bucks a month."
"The product is affordable for small businesses."
"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."
"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."
"The price is on the higher side. The support is included in the standard licensing fees."
