Having worked in IT support for a number of years across different industry sectors, I have used a number of different Helpdesk ticketing/service management products. Vivantio is easy to modify which makes it easy to give a better quality environment and ensure good adoption rates from your users. The customer portal we set up has been very well received. It's quick, responsive and overall the best product I've used! Highly recommended!
Easy and quick to modify and use. Ability to monitor a raft of IT Services such as change management, service desk tickets, problem management. Aligns to ITIL best practices.
Web views can sometimes be slow to update and cannot switch easily between windows if you need to go back and check something.

I have not used customer support and do not know whether this is value for money as I am not involved in procurement. I am an analyst and our team use it to manage our workload. I have to say I don't find it very easy to use when I have to add a customer's service request retrospectively (ie. they have not requested reports via Viva desk but by email for example). Then finding the service request afterwards can be tricky once added. If you save without populating all the fields, just the 'red' compulsory ones, then the case does not save but simply disappears but it doesn't prompt you to fill anything else.
If customer's use it its a good way of tracking service requests
see previous comments, regarding adding retrospective requests. Also you do not have an Industry for Housing or Property Development on your list. I have previously worked in investment banking and also venture banking but now work for a charitable housing association (wanted to be part of a business with social objectives). Have therefore had to select 'real estate' as this is the nearest but as one of southern England's largest housing associations, we provide homes for more than 67,000 people.

we have been using Vivantio for the past 4 years. To date we have been pleased with the product. From an end user perspective it is simple and easy to use. From a tech perspective, since i administer the system, has been easy to configure. I am very pleased with the Support that we receive, Andrew Stevens has been awesome. He has worked very hard to ensure that the system meets our business needs. Whenever we have requirement he is constantly finding ways to be able to implement them. There still are areas where there can be some improvements, would like to see better dashboards and reporting.

Are are taking more than full advantage of the ITSM offering from Vivantio. We have a LARGE number of advanced features being used. Although sometimes we suffer some performance slumps for a good percentage of the time the system does what we need. The Vivantio ITSM software doesn't have some of the customisation skills that other offerings out there, but because of this any issues we do experience are fixed quickly by there support team.

First thing I would like to convey is about the easy options in Vivantio. It is very easy to understand, to raised ant kind of tickets, to report and to maintain a Knowledge base. I have raised some of the issues with Vivantio Support especially working on reports, the support was quick and is persistent till it get resolved.
- I don't see any slowness in terms of performance - I don't see any major outages which can interrupts business - User friendly and is easy to administer - Good support
- The report Builder which is used for reporting could be enabled with advanced features of reporting.

We are an IBM business that used an ageing system for both our customers and internally. ofter seveal other products being tested prior to Vivantio. After testing the product first hand and now implementing it accross our organisation I can firmly say that we made the right decision choosing Vivantio. the product itself is easy to use for my employees and customers alike. Its also great value for moey which is generally quite hard to find now a days.

ticket system used to provide our time log on the work which we done
Very very user friendly. every category is provided very clearly and easy to handle by every one. No need of technical knowlege
Description area to be Increased. And not to edit the comment once done. If that has been modified it will be the best tool ever In the market.

All of my tickets are in one place. Also there are pre made templates for cab changes which really comes in handy.
My favorite feature is the filters. I can cover multiple sites and check all of my team mates ticket queues with one click of a button. This really comes in handy during holidays when I am covering multiple sites.
Vivantio needs to be able to open and check more than one ticket at a time. When I have multiple tickets, it takes me an absurd amount of time to check them and put them on hold. The entire time that I am going from ticket to ticket, the sla clock is ticking, and this is time that I could be working to resolve the issues in the tickets.

First used as a on site hosted ServiceDesk, no using Vivantios' SAAS service. Good response time and able to listen to clients needs which are later implemented in updates.
adhering to ITIL standards, the fact that it now works in most web browsers as a SAAS service
Sometimes a bit slow in responding but never constant.

Improved SLA tracking, on the fly ticket monitoring.
Excellent process for tracking tickets and monitoring SLA. Intuitive workflow, highly customizable.
DB engine can lag at times when running larger saved searches. Not an issue, just refresh and away you go!

Nice basic feature set, but customizing comes with a price. Could be a little more flexible, but overall has a good workflow. Significant improvement over the previous generation client. Very rare outages, and quite fast for a web based client.
Web based, and fast if you have a fast internet connection.
Could be more flexible in conforming to our workflow. Some options are not customizable, and some are, at a price.

There are some issues. It needs looking at. Rather than making us change passwords suddenly, you should notify us in advance. I one day had an emergency and needed to log in, but I had to change the password which wasted a little bit of critical time.

So far.. it's been a pleasure to use to track/monitor all our incidences, either open or pending. It also is a great tool for workflow and asset management. We have been able to assign incident tickets effortlessly to other members of the team. Creation of new user/company etc was a breeze. Thanks!

Our company uses this software internally. So our employees are our customers, so to speak. I was able to configure the workflows to assign tasks to other employees to provide approval for things such as hardware/software purchases, access to our software systems, new employees, etc. Regular employees do not require a license to perform these approval tasks, which was not the case in the competing software. Also, the Self Service portal turned out so beautiful and useful to our employees. We get really good feedback from users. Customer representatives are very hands on and helpful. I have admin'd other software and while other, more popular software has more documentation, their reps are non-existent.
The set up is very dependent on the Vivantio reps, and the self-help for configuration is not very useful. The reps do a fantastic job of leading the new user through configuration but some people like to do that themselves. I have admin'd other software and while other more popular software has more documentation, their reps are non-existent.

I have had limited experience with Vivantio technical support and after sales however the interactions that I had were pleasant and prompt. I have attended a handful of user groups over the years with former colleagues and the owners and developers that I talked to were very open and receptive to user feedback and seemed genuinely interested in their users. Vivantio are a small enough organisation to have a relatively personal interaction level to their user base which is nice as it makes you feel more valued and appreciated as opposed to larger corporations which have a far more clinical approach.
I used Vivantio daily for 6 years and whilst the Organisation that I worked for did not take full advantage of all it had to offer the main features within the software that we did use were great. The user interface is simple and straightforward and doesn't take a lot of time to pick up, it is reasonably configurable to your specific organisation however the main layout is entirely ITIL based split...
There is nothing that I particularly disliked about the software itself.

This software offers lot's of functionality, the client management features allows interaction with external and internal clients, calls can be managed easily and end users can track their own updates and call status.

some features don't allow multiple close on calls, so if there are lots of tasks closing them in one go can't be done.

Vivantio does what it says on the tin, and for a small organisation it does a fine job. The weaknesses only become apparent when the numbers of users passes around 20, tickets pass 100 per week and customers pass around 20. Then you start to realise that there are too many manual steps in the use of the system. A good example is SLA (service level agreement) reporting; how have we performed this month...
Ease of use; easy to set up and configure; helpful support staff; cloud-based and so can be used from anywhere; configurable change workflow; self-service portal; auto-update of changes via email; Licencing by concurrent users, meaning that many users can be set up, but there is a limit on how many can access the system at once. This is very useful for users raining changes who do not need to access the system often, and keeps the cost down.
Functionality quite basic; No accurate way to measure SLA; not enough automation - it needs to be able to automatically change statuses, assignees, etc., based on user actions

Keeps the users in the loop with updates on incidents, being able to assign tasks to one incident for different team members
when a users out of office is on and closing a call the out of office response reopens the call so the IT analyst has to remember to uncheck inform user to prevent the automated email informing them that the call was closed avoiding the out of office reopening the call.

It provides customer service optimization and solutions. With Vivantio, businesses can achieve unparalleled service excellence by combining enterprise-level software with scalable, flexible and intuitive cloud-based solutions.
You can do everything you need with it and it has a lot of features. A good feature is the ability to edit emails in rich text with company branding, and users can be given granular permissions. In addition, the ITSM package offers several automation options. It has been a pleasure working with Vivantio's support team. System configuration can be as simple or as complex as you like. You may want high-level information in some areas without getting distracted by details that other systems require. It's suitable for that. In general the pros are: A user-friendly interface that can be easily adapted. Specifically, queue management and task ownership. I never encountered any outage due to stable performance and availability. The level of technical support
There is not a lot to dislike about Viviantio. Maybe adding more simplicity to the software
Thank you so much for your fantastic feedback Chrysanthos, it's great to hear that your business needs are being fulfilled by continual automation and functionality that our ITSM subscription offers. We continually strive to meet customer expectations and it's always lovely to hear such great feedback. We really appreciate your constructive comments on setting up more simplicity to the software. It would be great to set up a call to discuss this further, this is to ensure we feedback details to our Product team as we continually strive for product excellence. Please do contact myself on Sophie.stephens@vivantio.com for any further feedback or assistance.

I am using the Vivantio ticketing tool since 2015 and it's user friendly tool. We can extract the reports in a simply way without any hassles. While view of current tickets status and customer information (for adding or removing), I am happy with Vivantio. However, I found some issues with checking view of last update on ticket as the frame of last update area is very small and it's not possible...
mainly the Vivantio ticketing tool is user friendly and easy to understand for all kind industries.
Lat update view frames were very small and it's not possible to expand where most of the engineers will have problem to view the updates.

There are some good improvements over the old Vivantio platform. However, the lack of a good mobile experience holds the product back, it is simply unusable on a mobile phone, and I do not know of an app at this point Also, it would be better if each user had a dashboard as standard that would list all items assigned to the user, (incidents, calls, tasks ) Also, if we could simply refresh a...

We use vivantio on a daily basis, and find it to be an exceptional and versatile tool, it makes tracking and linking of assets to " users" an easy task, the reports and dashboards which are in the system and can easily be created are also very versatile and provide a wealth of information, to such an extent that other areas of the business are now potentially looking at using vivantio as their ticketing...
it's easy to use once configured correctly the information you can get out of the system is very user friendly and easily accessible
If linked to active directory, if a user entry is removed from ad it is very hard to locate any previously raised incidents for the person.
