Overall Satisfaction with Ivanti Service Manager (powered by Heat)

Ivanti Service Manager (powered by Heat) is completely customizable and can be process driven. Excellent product for multiple departments (IT, HR, etc.) to use service requests. A lot of work at the front will pay off at the end. Since it can do so much, it is hard to decide what you want it to do at the start. If you are implementing it, take your time to decide which of the modules you need (Incident, Service, Problem, Change, etc.) and implement those. Get used to them and then expand. Gives too many notifications out of the box but those can be turned off or removed.
  • Customized service requests
  • Customized dashboards
  • Customized processes
  • Too many notifications out of the box
  • Automation of our phishing button in Incident saves about 70 hours of work per year
  • Tracking of tasks shows the true amount of work
  • Started departments outside of IT on tracking requests

Relationship with Ivanti

Very knowledgeable but expensive. Balancing their time on the implementation was a challenge. Try to develop the expertise in house through training after implementation to reduce costs.
