Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is highly configurable with PinkVERIFY status.""The best feature is that SLAs are automatically tracked, so when we breach something, we can set up email escalations as well.""The most valuable features of the Ivanti Service Desk are service requests and incident management.""The tool supports a lot of standard reporting KPIs.""Incident management and service request management features are the most valuable.""Incident management is a valuable feature.""The initial setup was quite simple; installing just took a few minutes.""Ivanti offers us the flexibility to transform it from purely an internal IT tool to something we can use across multiple departments.

"The most valuable feature of the solution is the traceability of actions.""I don't have the specific details, but I'm aware that Salesforce is used for campaigns, decision-making processes, and order submissions. I'm currently in the learning phase and not familiar with all the details.""The strength lies in its ability to work cohesively with other systems, creating a centralized hub that enhances efficiency and collaboration across various functionalities within our organization.""It’s feasible to configure the platform according to the specific processes utilised. Customization of the platform could be carried out based on the techniques we employ.""Salesforce Service Cloud offers several notable features. It includes robust case routing, escalation capabilities, entitlement mapping, and entanglement rules. Additionally, it supports Computer Telephone Integration (CTI), which allows for automatic case generation when a call is made to a designated number.""There is an out-of-the-box feature for reporting and analytics""We use Salesforce Service Cloud for lead management and opportunity management.""The plug-ins that work with other standard systems have made the product industry-ready."

Cons
"The documentation for migration which includes migration from one version to another or cloud to on-premises is not available in detail. There is no proper planning on metadata updates. I am not able to do the data movement with the package push.""Ivanti Service Desk could improve the GUI because it is not as good as other solutions, such as BMC or ServiceNow. If Ivanti Service Desk works on the GUI and makes it more user-friendly, and its content more attractive it might help the solution in the long run.""The administrative side of it could be a little more intuitive. This is the side that you use to do customizations. It is very customizable, but it could be a bit more intuitive and user-friendly. Their support can also be better in terms of response time. Currently, their response time is a little slow.""The interface can be improved. It can be made more interactive for self-service users.""You have limited ability to customize how Ivanti renders. It's a fairly strict design that doesn't offer you much freedom to alter the rigid, two-column layout on the screen. You can choose between one column or two, but that's about it. The presentation is probably the biggest weakness.""When we need to implement changes, it usually takes two to three days to happen, making it a very time-consuming process.""The mobile service is minimal and doesn't provide sufficient capabilities.""You must be very technical to configure it."

More Ivanti Service Desk [EOL] Cons →

"Salesforce Service Cloud's report functionality could be improved.""The governor limits are a troubling feature of Salesforce""The product should be capable of delivering complex reports as per company requirements without the need for a Tableau license.""The documentation could be improved.""There is room for improvement in pricing.""The integrations with other solutions can be improved.""Knowledge Management platform could use some intelligence improvements. Data mining techniques for recommending the most relevant knowledge articles would be beneficial. Currently, that selection process is more administrative. AI could be used here.""The main concern for me revolves around the speed of certain integrations."
