    It has customization features, lets you do network redirects via the DNS, and is stable and scalable
    An area for improvement in AppSense is pricing because it's much higher than Citrix and VMware solutions. It's one of the virtualization software that allows user profile virtualization, but you can also find that capability in the lower-priced VMware and Citrix software. AppSense has many features but is more expensive, so it would be better if it had a reduced cost or the solution had more enhanced capabilities. For example, in group policies, you can maintain the redirections and registry settings through the group policy via PolicyPak, another third-party product for managing the group policy. If AppSense could have a configuration similar to what PolicyPak has, then that would make AppSense better. AppSense is OS-based, so when my company purchased it in the past, it could run on Windows 7. Eventually, Ivanti told my company that it no longer supported Windows 7, so my company had to purchase AppSense for Windows 10. In the future, the new version of AppSense should work on different Windows versions.

    Unified endpoint control has improved patch workflows and streamlined remote device management
    I like the patch management side of things in this solution. You can set deployment rings so patches are rolled out in phases rather than hitting everyone at once, which reduces risk. I quite like that feature. I also appreciate the endpoint visibility when you're in the dashboard. You can see device health, the compliance status, software inventory, and other information all in one place without jumping between tools. Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is a key tool and is very important to my service delivery efficiency. Since implementing it and having used it for two years, the ease of use is a significant advantage because it covers Windows, Mac OS, iOS, and Android, so I can operate and manage devices all from the same console. This is good in a mixed device environment. From a Windows perspective, the BitLocker key retrieval feature is very helpful. The analytics and reporting tools in this product are helpful. I can see device health and out-of-warranty status. This is crucial in keeping our environment up to date and secure.

    We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
     

    Pros

    "Ivanti Neurons allows me to adjust our workflow according to our needs."
    "It is relatively cost-effective compared to other options like ServiceNow. Additionally, it is highly stable."

    "HEAT Service Management is a great tool for assets, service desk, and customer service management."

    Cons

    "An area for improvement in AppSense is pricing because it's much higher than Citrix and VMware solutions. In the future, the new version of AppSense should work on different Windows versions."
    "I rate Ivanti Neurons for ITSM an eight out of ten because it has many features but needs some improvements."
    "The support that we're currently getting is just not there."
    "The user interface must be made simpler and more effective."
    "Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is not a user-friendly tool when compared to ServiceNow."
    "Ivanti Automation should deliver more fixed templates for standard use cases or standard procedures."
    "Sometimes I can't get the reports that I want until I go to the manager. They need to put more into the new reports. The standard reports are great, but there do not communicate as much."
    "There is room for improvement in terms of response time. The support team takes a long time to respond."
    "The patching for non-Windows OSes such as Linux is poor."

    Pricing and Cost Advice

    "I would rate AppSense pricing as six out of ten because it's an expensive product, and the organization won't buy if it only requires limited configuration."
    "The product is affordable for small businesses."
    "The price is on the higher side. The support is included in the standard licensing fees."
    "My customers do direct sales with Ivanti, and they complain that Ivanti Automation is more expensive than other solutions."
    "If you want to add more users who can handle support there will be additional fees. What we call our extensions, we need to pay more for. They tell us that we need to acquire more licenses or something like that. I think it's very expensive, because in terms the pula, our local currency, it's about 20,000 per license for each user. It is an annual fee."
    "I came to know from my team members that my company used to operate ServiceNow but shifted to Ivanti Neurons for ITSM due to its low licensing prices."
