Excellent Product Support but lacking finer details
Vivantio offers a ITIL service desk software that we use for software support. In general I have found the solution not very user friendly and in the last 3 years of using it, I found that little has changed to the basic user functionality to improve this despite many feature requests to aid this. A key example of this is that, in 2017, it is still not possible for all emails in the system to show the pictures that are embedded.
In the past, we have found that the quality of the software updates to the system lacking basic QA process and it has become quite simple to find bugs in the new features.
I would say that the support team is very good at getting back to you within half a business day and providing us with workarounds of problems that we have highlighted.
Pros
User Support, Workflow module
Cons
GUI, speed of page loads, lack of updates to key functionality

Excellent product and customer service
Pros
The software is easily customisable and changed pre and post-launch of the system, meaning that you can launch, get it wrong and change it. The capabilities seem endless and offers all requirements that we need.
Cons
The difference in the admin area to the technician portal is a little bit confusing at times. I believe that the back end admin area needs upgrading to the FLEX environment.

Viviantio makes Service Easy(ier)!
Excellent tool for keeping all communication with the client and technician in the ticket in case we need to go back and look at responses or timelines.
Pros
Ease to create a ticket or respond to a clients service request.
Cons
There are still some features we are working with Viviantio on to see if they can help solve tracking issues for service contracts. Also trying to see if we can get necessary reports from the platform.

Good features, but Interface could be improved
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 section of the screen, eg the list of incidents, that would be useful, instead of refreshing the whole page
If the site could remember the section are user is on, so when they return to site they go straight to the same section. many users will only be interested in open incidents that are assigned to their team
Finally the search could be improved. If you search for an incident by keyword, often, no results are found, even when that keyword exists in an incident. We raised this as a support call, and the response was that we should filter by dates in order to narrow the search. This would be fine if the system displayed a message to use dates to narrow the search, but the system simply says "No items to display", which is inadequate from a user experience point of view, and simply wrong from a logic point of view

4/5 - Pretty good product.
Lacking some features - Would be nice to copy over Dashboard configuration over from one system area to another (Dashboards set up to show call closures in one system area (IT team) has to be set up a fresh when setting up new system areas (L&D team). Would be nice for these to be able to be copied over.
Search feature is very temperamental, when searching free text in subject line / content / title it does pick up some calls even if you copy and paste the title. As a workaround its easier to so a search in the deleted item folder in outlook where email to ticket has been set up from.
Other than that the product is easy to use and generally good quality apart from performance issues here and there. These are generally picked up with the Vivantio helpdesk who are normally very prompt in providing status updates.

Excellent Software for Global IT use
Our company has been using Vivantio for over 10 years and have found it to be a very powerful tool for our global IT departments. All of our sites are able to coordinate helpdesk tasks, workflow tasks and infrastructure deployments in a very organized fashion. It allows us to communicate with one another and stay on top of frequent IT problems and issues. We have the ability to collaborate on issues and work on solutions together. The tools are very powerful and helpful in our day to day use. The software has many features that we haven't started using yet, but I'm sure we'll get around to them eventually.
Pros
Easy to use and lots of features

Great value for money
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.

I use Vivantio everday. This is probably the 8th or 9th IT ticketing software that I have...
All of my tickets are in one place. Also there are pre made templates for cab changes which really comes in handy.
Pros
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.
Cons
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.

Reliable company used for years
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.
Pros
adhering to ITIL standards, the fact that it now works in most web browsers as a SAAS service
Cons
Sometimes a bit slow in responding but never constant.

I use vivantio every day as ticketing software
I used servicenow before Vivantio, and the difference is like night and day with Vivantio being the better choice.
Pros
I like the filters the best. With the filters I can usually find what I am looking for easily. The sorting option works well too.
Cons
It can be very laggy at times and I have verified that this is not a network issue. This often occurs when updating , submitting, or closing a ticket.

Powerful, enjoyable and great service, but...
I'm the admin for Vivantio ITSM in our business. I've also been admin for a handful of other ticket logging tools over the years and this one has some serious benefits which I'll be sad to miss out on if I move company in the future. It has a good amount of configuration options that make the tool extremely flexible and most things you'd like to achieve can be, one way or another. It's this aspect which is so enjoyable - their business rule builder, report builder etc. allow for creative logic to get things done.
However, my love/hate opinion on the system comes from their customer support. They're great in that they're responsive, I've never had to wait more than a few hours for a response to a query I've made. They almost always come up with an answer that is suitable, or fix my issue by passing onto their (very active) developers. And here's the but... sometimes they can be a bit too accommodating. I have been known to ask for some pretty elaborate changes to the tool, to do things that really would only be of benefit to my company for example, and their answer is always that they've added it to their future development schedule. I think I'd rather a 'no' in these cases, because I'm left wondering when I'm going to get these changes. And they're numerous. Oh well, maybe one day I'll be pleasantly surprised, until then I'll wait in anticipation.

Brilliant Product! Would certainly recommend
I use this in my day to day role as a PMO. Support tickets are logged through this and I also use this to keep a track of change requests using CMDB. It's quick to use and easy. I have logged a couple of tickets for feedback to Vivantio, and they were really quick to get back to me, very helpful company and a great product.
Pros
Ease of use
Cons
Can be a little slow
