Pros:
“Giva's integration with OpenAI, aptly named "Giva Copilot," is helping the IT Service Desk and about 500 IT staff harness the power of artificial intelligence to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of our healthcare organization. The integration significantly boosts productivity, allowing Agents and Managers to understand complex tickets more effectively, ultimately leading to increased customer satisfaction. By utilizing Microsoft Azure, Giva Copilot ensures that all customer data remains private and HIPAA compliant, offering a secure AI solution for sensitive environments like ours. Our Managers particularly like Giva Copilot's innovative ticket summary feature which simplifies the understanding of complex issues by generating concise summaries, which include customer sentiment and proposed next steps. The ease of use is evident as anybody can quickly generate these summaries with a simple click on the 'Summarize Ticket' button, making the integration very user-friendly.”
Cons:
Not able to move tickets from one Service Desk to another and not able to copy NOR questionnaires.

Reasons for choosing Giva

It was less expensive and made our Service Desk more efficient.

Reasons for switching to Giva

We had HEAT, which is not listed in your dropdown. Our version was no longer supported by the vendor.

Replaced BMC Track-It! & Increased Customer Satisfaction 50% with Giva

5

The help desk team has been able to identify where additional end user training is required and they’re able to work through help desk tickets much more quickly. Previously, they were using BMC Track-It! and Giva is an enormous improvement in so many ways. With Giva, it is easier to create and track tickets, focus on VIPs, and automate workflows. They love Giva! It's very simple and easy to use. I don't think I can say that enough. In my department, using Giva, we have increased customer satisfaction by 50% because nothing is getting missed. We can respond faster and none of the requests ever fall through the cracks. My productivity has increased about 30%, because of the dashboard where I can see everything in one place and delegate tasks quickly. Giva helps us prioritize requests, and we can easily manage tasks that have to be done immediately and others that are long term projects. Giva tech support has been exceptional. The turnaround times are very fast. The SLA says 2 or 3 days, but they often answer my question within hours, so I am very happy about that.

Pros:
Overall, I rate Giva an eight or nine on a scale of 1 to 10. They are an exceptional company! I work at a large law firm and manage the library/knowledge management department. We receive a steady flow of requests to do research. We’ve been using Giva for two years in three other departments as well: Information Technology, Facilities, and eDiscovery. Our IT Director did the research and selected Giva. The IT help desk team was busy, so I did the initial set-up for the 3 different service desks. It was very easy to get up and running. I've been through other software deployments, and they have been very painful. I love Giva’s step-by-step administration. We could start with the basic features and then do customizations as needed. The interface is very friendly and simple to use. I've never experienced an easier application to deploy. Giva people were also there anytime we needed assistance. We did LDAP and SSO integrations and they went smoothly.
Cons:
There are not any aspects of Giva that we don't like right now. They keep on releasing new features almost every month.

Reasons for choosing Giva

The Giva reports are excellent as I can quickly generate granular metrics for my manager so quick action can be taken, if necessary. The IT helpdesk team has done a lot of custom reporting that’s amazing and I’ve leveraged off their work. Giva’s been very helpful, and we now have 70% better visibility to what's going on in the organization. I love the dashboard as it allows me to see all tickets open, closed, whatever with red, yellow, and green indicating age and priority. Giva’ best selling point is their easy-to-use interface.

Reasons for switching to Giva

Before Giva, the Facilities department just received a lot of emails without any way to prioritize. Now we know exactly what’s going on and can address the most urgent matters first. We were able to identify some HVAC issues since Giva helped spot specific reoccurring requests, so it enabled us to be proactive. The Facilities as well as the eDiscovery teams have been able to increase customer satisfaction about 20%.

Love the Giva dashboard! It makes my job so much easier.

5

Giva is very intuitive and I never get stuck like with other systems I used in the past. Giva is a breath of fresh air! It was easy to set up Giva since it came with the most commonly used defaults and it also had draft severity levels, etc. to allow us to quickly evaluate it. We use the self-service portal to manage 40 vendors and it’s helped us to more efficiently manage 3rd parties. Now we receive well documented cases since we configured Giva to ask different questions for each item in the self-service category menu. This eliminates a ton of back and forth with customers.

Pros:
I’ve increased my productivity by 30% using Giva. The KPIs widgets on the dashboard allow me to quickly see where issue are at. It’s a great visual warning system. It helps all of us plan our workload and prioritize with little effort. Giva is very simple to learn and use. We all use the tools offered in Giva to stop “reinventing the wheel” by easily leveraging and reusing information in cases. There are lots of warnings and visuals to make sure we are using the system correctly.
Cons:

Giva Took Top Prize Over ZenDesk, Zoho Desk, FreshDesk and Sysaid. Easy to Use & Excellent Reports.

5

Because it is so intuitive, the self-help portal is used about 80% of the time to open issues and emails are sent approximately 20%. By integrating with Giva’s Single Sign On (SSO) function, our end users do not need username and password to login, so it's easy for them to quickly access. We have increased our customer satisfaction rating to 4.5 out of 5 from 2.0 out of 5 so that is over a 100% increase in customer satisfaction which is an amazing accomplishment. We used to have so many end user complaints, but now with Giva we are delivering exceptional customer satisfaction. The senior executive committee has seen the turn around and they're very pleased. The reporting analytics allows us to easily measure our respond and resolve times (i.e. SLA performance) as well as so many other key metrics. I only spend 1 hour or less each month to do all my report analytics for management, but with other products it use to take me about 4 hours. Now, I also have higher quality information. This is a tremendous savings and really helps increase my productivity.

Pros:
I am the head of IT & ISEC at a company that develops, constructs, owns, and manages a portfolio of industrial, office and retail real estate property throughout the country of Mexico. Our portfolio consists of 236 industrial and 17 retail properties located in 20 cities in Mexico with approximately 3.2 million square meters of leasable area. We are a publicly traded company. Using Giva IT ticketing system, we have achieved outstanding business results. We now resolve our IT help tickets 60% to 70% faster because it’s easy to use and provides tools to help speed resolution. We now meet our service level agreements (SLAs) 95% of the time, but before Giva only 70% of the time. The Dashboards provide a real broad scope of what is happening with each ticket. We can quickly speak with department directors to get the proper people involved. My team’s productivity has also increased by approximately 50%. Giva helped us eliminate a lot of manual processes and gave us excellent tools and features to automate. We have been populating the knowledge base as we go to leverage solutions. The custom forms associated with each category helps us capture additional specific information for each request.
Cons:
My team does not have any feedback or complaints.

Reasons for choosing Giva

When looking to replace Zendesk, I evaluated Zoho Desk, FreshDesk, SysAid Help Desk, and Jira Service Management. We selected Giva because it was so easy to configure and launch by following the simple steps in the administration. The detailed and step-by-step video tutorials were especially helpful. We quickly imported our assets, and it only took us 40 minutes to do the LDAP and SSO integrations. It was like “boom” and it was done. Giva support is excellent, and they always help us with any questions. We often hear back in less than 30 minutes. They always quickly provide answers even on low priority questions/issues.

Reasons for switching to Giva

Before Giva we were using Zendesk. It was very difficult to configure and customize. It never really worked correctly. Also, it took two many clicks to open a ticket whereas with Giva tickets can be opened up in just three clicks. It was very painful to use ZenDesk and our employees never fully embraced it like they have with Giva’s support ticketing system. Using Giva, I’ve reduced our total cost of ownership of our IT ticketing system by over 50% vs. ZenDesk. Giva is less expensive, we get extra security with HIPAA compliance, and it requires fewer labor hours to maintain, and less time to create my monthly reporting analytics. All of our hardware and software is tracked in the asset management app which is highly integrated with the IT ticketing system. We can report on our assets and vendors thereby providing better end user support and it helps with our future purchase decisions with data driven decision making. Giva has been a great success for IT, so we are launching a new service desk for our marketing department. It’s going to help prepare properties for renting, selling, events for customers, and maintenance tasks such as painting. We also plan to launch additional service desks for human resources and risk management departments.

Giva’s intuitive ticket management system allows our team to efficiently track and resolve customer issues across multiple healthcare applications while serving more than 200 employees.

Pros:
What truly sets Giva apart from other solutions we've used is their exceptional responsiveness to enhancement requests. Unlike competing platforms that either charge premium prices for customization or place requests in never-ending backlogs, Giva actively collaborates with us to implement needed improvements. When we identified a reporting gap related to resolution versus closure timing, Giva quickly worked with us to develop a solution that met our exact requirements. Giva's agile development approach with new monthly product releases provides tremendous value compared to other vendors who might only deploy critical security updates monthly. This continuous improvement model ensures we consistently benefit from new features and enhancements without additional cost or lengthy implementation delays.
