ChangeGear review
A structured change-management module for teams coordinating approvals, impact, and schedules.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
ChangeGear is SunView Software’s IT service management platform, with a web-based change-management module for teams that need a defined process for requests for change (RFCs). Staff can create, submit, review, approve, implement, and close requests, while end users can submit requests through a browser-accessible self-service portal. Its stated fit includes mid-market and enterprise organizations, and deployment options include cloud and self-hosted. The broader platform also includes incident, problem, service request, knowledge base, reporting, and CMDB modules.
The change workflow is the central strength for teams coordinating multiple planned changes. Configurable lifecycles cover review and approval, with options to request information or escalate requests. Teams can assess risk and resource impact, plan dates, duration, effort, and analysis requirements, and manage configuration items and dependencies in a CMDB. Those capabilities suit organizations that want change decisions and implementation planning handled within a structured process rather than relying only on a shared calendar or informal approvals.
Calendar planning adds visibility into change windows, blackout periods, and scheduled changes, but these are documented as Advanced Change Management features; availability can depend on edition, permissions, and licensing. ChangeGear is available on web and Windows, and supports cloud or self-hosted deployment. Pricing is contact-sales, so buyers should discuss the appropriate edition and licensing alongside the required planning features. Teams looking for lifecycle control, impact assessment, and scheduling in one service-management platform should consider it; organizations seeking a simple standalone calendar or transparent published pricing may prefer to compare alternatives.
