Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 1, 2024

Salesforce Service Cloud and Ivanti Neurons for ITSM compete in the IT service management category. Salesforce holds an advantage due to its integration capabilities and rapid implementation, while Ivanti stands out with its automation and workflow efficiency.

Features: Salesforce Service Cloud focuses on comprehensive case management, seamless omni-channel support, and integration with marketing platforms like Marketo. Its automated updates enhance ease of onboarding. Ivanti Neurons offers robust incident management, extensive self-service options, and a flexible platform for custom service requests without deep technical skills. Its integrated automation elevates productivity by reducing manual tasks.

Room for Improvement: Salesforce Service Cloud users seek better performance in mobile apps, enhanced email integration with Outlook, more advanced reporting, and a refined UI. Ivanti Neurons needs improvements in its user interface to compete effectively with ServiceNow, better integration with platforms like WhatsApp, enhanced self-service portal customization, and expanded localization choices.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Salesforce predominantly offers public cloud deployment with positive feedback for accessibility and extensive community resources. Premium support is occasionally needed for complex queries. Ivanti supports hybrid and on-premises solutions, attracting organizations needing customized deployment. However, Ivanti's support could improve, particularly in response times and community interaction.

Pricing and ROI: Salesforce Service Cloud is recognized for high costs, justified by its extensive features and integration. It is ideal for large enterprises seeking significant efficiency gains. Ivanti Neurons follows a subscription model beneficial for budget-minded small and medium enterprises. Though perceived as costly, Ivanti's ROI is realized through automation and decreased operational expenses.

Manager - Technical Support at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees

Has helped streamline ticketing and change management while offering clear documentation support

Documentation and learning materials are available for Ivanti Neurons for ITSM, and if you check the vendor sites, you will find documents for each feature. I believe that short videos should be created and uploaded for newcomers to learn quickly since time can be limited. If a user believes in Ivanti, they should also believe in all its products including Ivanti Neurons for ITSM and Neurons because they are genuinely putting in hard work. This is reflected in the documentation, though I suggest they work on creating more videos. Other than that, you will find everything you need in the community site and documentation site. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Ivanti Neurons for ITSM an 8 out of 10.

Lead Solutions Architect at a financial services firm with 11-50 employees

Leverage top-tier automation capabilities while streamlining complex naming conventions

Salesforce Service Cloud offers pre-built packages that are best in class. The automation capabilities have evolved over time, consolidating previous features into Salesforce flows. However, these work best when everything is within Salesforce Service Cloud and everyone has a license. Without an enterprise MuleSoft license, external interactions complicate automation significantly.

Cons

"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."

"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."

"We'd like more integration with solutions like SolarWinds."

"I believe that short videos should be created and uploaded for newcomers to learn quickly since time can be limited."

"There could be an improvement in the ability to easily integrate other systems without extensive development."

"I believe that short videos should be created and uploaded for newcomers to learn quickly since time can be limited."

"The patching for non-Windows OSes such as Linux is poor."

More Salesforce Service Cloud cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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 product is affordable for small businesses."

"Salesforce Service Cloud is a bit expensive."

"The licensing is flexible. Companies pay for what they use. However, a company with very small needs might find it difficult to justify the cost. Overall, it's in the medium price range."

"The price of the solution depends on how many users need access to it"

"The price is too expensive."

"The product is expensive. There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the product."

"Only enterprise businesses can afford the solution, and small companies cannot afford it."

"The solution is priced at 50 dollars a month per user."

"The tool is pretty expensive."
