It is best for handling daily incidents and change records in the organization. And also provide features like which incident will have higher priority, and which have less and on the basis of that developer do their daily activities to resolve them. It also helps in managing our compliance change logs, which help the compliance team.

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

Halo Service Solutions
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.

HaloITSM offered the highest level of functionality, available as standard, at our price level. Halo support during our trial period was second to none and unrestricted. We had a list of deciding factors covering the most important areas of functionality and HaloITSM covered all of these.

The main reason for choosing Symphony Summit is the customization. We wanted to have a separate tool for our business unit. Compared to ServiceNow, which requires a license to approve a request, Symphony does not require a license. In addition, it is much easier to customize and scale.

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.
