Featured Reviews

Sanjay Mukhopadhyay - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"This is an excellent alternative to ServiceNow for smaller companies."
"It is relatively cost-effective compared to other options like ServiceNow. Additionally, it is highly stable."
"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 solution's technical support is excellent. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"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"
"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 solution's installation depends on its customization. It is easy."
"This is a flexible tool for logging and tracking issues efficiently."
"The centralized feature allows us to track test cases and integrate with automation and bug fixing."
"The SLA, speed, the comments from agents' side, and the dashboard for agents are the most valuable features."
"JIRA helps integrate Kanban Board features and for this reason what it does it does well."
"The solution offers lots of information on the website to assist with technical queries. There are also many community sites to help you troubleshoot any problems."
"Easy to use and user-friendly."
"There are two things that I value very much about this product. One is the service levels management – the SLA agreement management part of it – and knowledge management."
"The automations will really help the company by delegating work the way your company operates."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in terms of response time. The support team takes a long time to respond."
"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."
"They could provide product integration with popular platforms."
"Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is not a user-friendly tool when compared to ServiceNow."
"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's a lack of integration with other products. This needs to be improved."
"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."
"It should be easier to log in."
"The platform should be more user-friendly. JIRA's user interface needs training to understand and utilize."
"The customizations in Jira could be improved by being simplified. They are currently very complex."
"What needs to be added in Jira Service Management is the user screen. You'll find it very weird if this is your first time using the solution. The user-friendliness of its interface needs improvement."
"JIRA protects the end-user, but for the configuration, more rules could be added to improve the workflow."
"Currently lacks an asset management module that can affect deployment."
"Jira Service Management is expensive and not worth the money compared to monday.com."
"JIRA Service Management should make reporting easier. I would like something integrated with DevOps tools."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is affordable for small businesses."
"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."
"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 price of the solution is becoming expensive and it should be reduced."
"JIRA Service Management's pricing is pretty decent compared to competitors. I rate the pricing an eight to nine on a scale of one to ten."
"The pricing is very competitive and I think that it is okay."
"I price of JIRA Service Management is reasonable."
"We have an annual license with JIRA Service Management, but it is billed monthly."
"Right now, there are only two of us who are both agents on the help desk and developers. We might be on the free version because we're less than three agents or users. I'm looking at Zephyr tests, which have a $10 a month flat rate, so right now, it is $10 a month. There are lots of add-ons. They do a free version, a standard version, and a premium version. In the last company, we started on $50 a month. By the time I left, we were paying $4,500 a month. That was mainly because we had 100 users on Confluence. I bought an add-on for Jira software for which we had 10 users, and that was $5 per user per month. It was costing me $500 a month, whereas it should only be $50 a month. I don't know if licensing fee has changed. I'd like our whole company to use it, but the big problem is the licensing because the Confluence side is what is really useful, but if I add 30 users to Confluence and then buy an extension for Jira software, I've got to pay for 30 licenses, even though I've only got two users in Jira software. It is the one big disadvantage of cloud software. You always have to pay for the number of seats regardless of which product you are on. This will probably severely limit how many people would use it because I'm not going to start paying $10 per user per month for a Jira software add-on when there are only two people using it."
"The cost has recently increased. It might be around $20 to $25 per user license."
"I am using the free version, but my clients are paying for it. When they start, they evaluate it for 30 days, and after seeing the value, they move to its paid version."
