HaloITSM offered the highest level of functionality, available as standard, at our price level. Halo support during our trial period was second to none and unrestricted. We had a list of deciding factors covering the most important areas of functionality and HaloITSM covered …
Halo just matched all our criterias like: provide knowledgebase articles with or without beeing logged in, assessing knowledgebase articles to user groups, sync users with Azure login via SSO customizable selfservice portal, disable modules which are not in use, provide …
Simply better. Each system has its merits, however, HaloITSM simply does everything in one neat package. no hidden costs fully sorted and without the constant frustrations of other systems. Simple, elegant, efficient, and maps to our processes NOT the other way around - the way …
This sits head and shoulders above anything I've used before. The degree of customization (whilst sometimes challenging to realize) is second to none. We have encountered relatively few issues/faults with Halo and the support for any such problems is generally excellent.
[HalolTSM is] easier to configure, [more flexible] with workflows, [has] APIs and customizable fields, [and] additional licenses [do] not require system file updates and service restarts.
Spiceworks has a limited feature set compared to Halo and we also had issues with ticket creation. Sometimes tickets would get missed or emails wouldn't send/recieve. ConnectWise was very clunky and slow at times. Instead of using a web interface it uses a software interface. …
Based on our requirements, this is how we scored them. Halo - 78, ServiceNow - 77, Ivanti - 67, Jira - 57, FreshService - 41. This was based purely on our requirements and whether additional modules required additional licences.
LANDesk was quite a large, non-cloud system that was basically too big for our trust. It offered lots of functionality, but we would have just never used it all. It also required an on-site server which does not fit into our future plans and portfolio. Therefore HALO was the …
Great visibility of asset assignment to user but not so good if you track also assignment of user rights through CI for users. It would be nice if you can group types of assets/configuration items to user not to show everything mixed up. There is great options to adopt product to your particular needs, there are options for adding some special fields in process automation to help to have tailored process from enduser fill in forms to complex workflow which utilises various specialists
HALO is very much suited to the IT Support Desk environment and works very well. It offers all the functionality that is required to run a service plus much more. I can't really comment on the other modules yet as we haven't really fully utilised them, but hopefully will in the future.
The ticketing structure (allowing us to add custom fields and tables) and the process are quick, clean, and easy to adapt to our changing needs. Change requests are processed within a few hours (complex ones take longer, purely for testing), however, the whole solution is geared to customization and the more you work with it the more you get out of it
SLA's
Detailed SLAs for each part of the business, with multiple tiers, time frames, reporting, and alerting options - a different config for every team configured with a few simple clicks
Time Management
Excellent granular reporting that lets you drill in, both from a business perspective as to how many hours are being spent on different activities and from a support perspective, where are your teams spending their team.
Reporting
Excellent set of customizable reports (hundreds of them) along with a reporting tool (For which a little SQL does go a long way) and for those fiddly reports, free support is only a call away.
Role Assignments
Simple role assignments that make updating changes to teams and departments the work of minutes rather than days. Easy to apply and each person can have multiple roles. Simple but powerful and very sleek.
It is easy to do first deployment in wrong direction - maybe there should be better guidance how to setup services/service instances to properly work at the end.
Reporting is based on predefined templates - to get most of them you have to properly implement services in IT - it is not an easy process
Integration with O365 for out of office would be helpfull
Tool has built-in automation module which helps to more precisely define user requests or workflow condition. This from one hand gives end-user easy and understandable forms to fill in, and from other had it ensure all needed information has been fulfilled for further steps in workflow. Once you follow service principle which is base for that tool it will help you to track in detail your business and your partners
I've made overall positive experiences with the Halo support. The only thing to increase would be some follow ups on feature requests. If someone would reach out to me, telling me wheter or not my feature request will be considered in future updates or not.
Based on our requirements, this is how we scored them. Halo - 78, ServiceNow - 77, Ivanti - 67, Jira - 57, Freshservice - 41. This was based purely on our requirements and whether additional modules required additional licences.
As we are finance institution we are strictly regulated so this product helps us in many fields to satisfy regulatory requests through easy workflow management setup.
Product is easy to implement, easy to adopt so we use it in different segments of business (central purchase department, security office, IT department) for tracking and standardising various processes in each niche.
It enabled us to allow our Service Desk Staff to work from home during COVID and this has continued ever since.
We have halved our average resolution time.
Some of the automation processes, when implemented alongside the MS Power Platform, have saved approximately 30 hours a month. This includes times when customers were unable to access the system until they had been trained. This is now automated via Halo and they get sent to on-demand training, instead of waiting up to 3 weeks for the next scheduled session.
