Likelihood to Recommend
From a technician's point of view, it is extremely easy to create new work orders or tickets. It's also very simple to enter in data and keep track of the state of the ticket without taking too much time to keep it updated. I would love to see a cloud instance available to be able to make it a global installation as our company grows.

I think for a remote IT company, this is a great inventory and remote access program.

Pros
  • The software is simple to use. There doesn't seem to be a lot of bells and whistles which could be attractive to some users.
  • It includes email notifications where users are able to respond to an email and it updates the ticket.
  • The system gives you the ability to customize your view so that you only need to see that tickets that are relevant to you or your group.

Cons
  • Care must be taken when configuring automatic replies otherwise you can end up in an endless loop of emails if response goes to another auto-responder. This will cause tickets to automatically be generated with every reply and then it takes a while to clean up the unwanted tickets.
  • The support model is prohibitively expensive if you let support lapse and then need support once again. This is because they expect you to pay for all of the previous versions/years between when you last paid for support and their current version. This means that if there have been 3 versions of the software since you last had support, they expect you to pay for the 3 versions even if you did not use them. This is a primary reason why we are looking at alternative ticketing systems currently.
  • It would be nice to have the ability to selectively kick a user our of a ticket without having to kick them entirely out of the application.

  • Licensing can be complex and is fairly expensive. I did not research other ITAM solutions as we use the entire Ivanti suite to see how pricing compares, but it does seem expensive.
  • Be careful when you are building you CMDB module in the Ivanti Service Desk tool, we found the hard way that create custom CI processes requires an ITAM license.
  • We have submitted a few bugs and the resolution from support seems slow. I find this is common with many vendors, but was hoping for better resolution times with Ivanti.

Support Rating
I only gave it this rating for the fact that we did not really use their support for much of the time we used the product. The support documentation in the actual program seemed to be lacking, so finding the information via the web or the vendor's site provided more helpful, from a support standpoint. I did notice that the vendor does have a portal where you can manage support cases and also has live phone support and an email option. All of these options are good for any customer that needs good support while using the product

Alternatives Considered
ConnectWise was far more robust with a lot more customization, project management features, templates, and documentation. It tied into other software that we needed to do our jobs. The interface was cleaner, the software was faster, and users had an easier time. Oversight was also much better. That said, it was also far more expensive, and it was developed more for managed service providers and large companies than smaller enterprises like ours.

We brought the CA suite of ITAM tools in previously and the project failed. We selected Ivanti because of a previous relationship and we already owned the Service Desk product. It was an easy decisions and we needed specific integration with the CMDB module of Service Desk, which the IT Asset Mgmt Suite provided us.

Return on Investment
  • The configuration is a bit daunting. We had the software for two years and never got it configured quite right.
  • Spent a lot of wasted time trying to get the software to do what we wanted.
  • We paid for licensing for two years and spent quite a few hours mailing back and forth with support. Overall, a loss.

  • We have seen tremendous ROI with custom processes set up to manage the lifecycle of our assets. This was a huge void for us previously and now we can see when assets are coming/going and when they should be retired.
  • Integration with other apps via API has allowed us to automate manual tasks and streamline processes.
  • Tie-ins with the CMDB function of Service Desk have allowed us to create dynamic workflows to manage the lifecycle of assets and other related assets. Very powerful use case.
