Overall Satisfaction with Ivanti Service Manager (powered by Heat)

We are using [Ivanti Service Manager (powered by Heat)] to facilitate all of our MSP style functions including ticketing, knowledge base, asset tracking, project planning and budgeting. We use this internally across our entire customer base. My main job functions are dealing with the project management and budgeting systems.

Pros

  • Issue Tracking
  • CI management
  • Alerting

Cons

  • Implementation can be cumbersome and you really need someone who understands the system to customize it to your business
  • The update process has been buggy and introduced new issues with each update.
  • It has help us consolidate down to one system to asset and issue tracking
  • it links items together well so its easier to see the full history of issues with CIs
I am not in the position to evaluate the competitors, that happened with people above me in the organization. Before this we used custom programs and were reliant upon developers.

If you were a MSP looking to integrate your systems into a single system I would recommend [Ivanti Service Manager (powered by Heat)]. You really need someone who is strong with databases and integration to get the most out of the system, so either expect to pay an implementation specialist or employ your own as there is a lot of customization that needs to take place. We have had to add many custom fields and setup alerting on them to make this work for our business, but once it has been setup it was worked very well.
