    Chose HaloITSM
    This sits head and shoulders above anything I've used before. The degree of customization (whilst sometimes challenging to realize) is second to none. We have encountered relatively few issues/faults with Halo and the support for any such problems is generally excellent.

    [HalolTSM is] easier to configure, [more flexible] with workflows, [has] APIs and customizable fields, [and] additional licenses [do] not require system file updates and service restarts.

    Chose HaloITSM
    Spiceworks has a limited feature set compared to Halo and we also had issues with ticket creation. Sometimes tickets would get missed or emails wouldn't send/recieve. ConnectWise was very clunky and slow at times. Instead of using a web interface it uses a software interface. …

    Based on our requirements, this is how we scored them. Halo - 78, ServiceNow - 77, Ivanti - 67, Jira - 57, Freshservice - 41. This was based purely on our requirements and whether additional modules required additional licences.

    Chose HaloITSM
    LANDesk was quite a large, non-cloud system that was basically too big for our trust. It offered lots of functionality, but we would have just never used it all. It also required an on-site server which does not fit into our future plans and portfolio. Therefore HALO was the …

    If you want a value for money full system, which you could use out of the box then this is the one for you. If you want a system that can take care of tasks then this is the one for you. [HaloITSM] is easily scalable with very competitive pricing. New features are added regularly based on best practices and customer requirements.

    Pros
    Halo Service Solutions
    • The Self Service Portal is very easy to configure and the end-users have commented on how easy it is to log and manage their own calls.
    • Asset and User Management works very well and it is simple to link them to tickets. Looking up ticket history for particular Users or Assets is also very useful.
    • The ability [to] use different ticket types and templates is fantastic. The added ability to merge and clone tickets is also a great benefit.

    Cons
    Halo Service Solutions
    • Support for M365 \ Power Platform, Power Bi reporting in particular
    • Feel the asset management side of the product is not as good as the ticket management
    • Support is excellent but maybe an old school user forum where other admins can share and discuss ideas

    I've made overall positive experiences with the Halo support. The only thing to increase would be some follow ups on feature requests. If someone would reach out to me, telling me wheter or not my feature request will be considered in future updates or not.

    Return on Investment
    Halo Service Solutions
    • It enabled us to allow our Service Desk Staff to work from home during COVID and this has continued ever since.
    • We have halved our average resolution time.
    • Some of the automation processes, when implemented alongside the MS Power Platform, have saved approximately 30 hours a month. This includes times when customers were unable to access the system until they had been trained. This is now automated via Halo and they get sent to on-demand training, instead of waiting up to 3 weeks for the next scheduled session.
