Our verdict on Giva ChangeManager
Giva ChangeManager is a cloud-based IT change management application for teams that need controlled Request for Change (RFC) processes. It centralizes configurable ITIL-aligned forms, approvals, risk assessment, scheduling, notifications, reporting, and audit history. Change teams can track successful, unsuccessful, backed-out, and induced-problem changes, while linking requests to hardware, software, and CMDB-related assets. It is aimed at organizations running formal CAB processes and structured change governance rather than teams seeking a lightweight task list.
Pricing is organized into two paid plans. Professional costs $76 USD per agent per month with annual billing and supports up to 10 agents, up to 1,500 end users or customers, 3 service desks, and 3 email inboxes. Enterprise costs $98 USD per agent per month with annual billing and removes those listed limits for agents, end users or customers, service desks, and email inboxes. A minimum of five licenses applies, and the 30-day offer is a trial rather than a free plan. The difference between tiers is therefore most relevant to organizations that need broader service-desk and user capacity.
Its strongest fit is an established IT service environment that needs approval controls, daily-to-monthly change calendars, urgent and emergency escalation to a CAB or Emergency Committee, automated alerts, KPI analytics, and a permanent RFC history. Ecosystem connections include LDAP/Active Directory, SAML SSO, Microsoft Azure/ADFS, Google Apps, Okta, REST API, Excel batch import, and Giva Help Desk and ITSM. Choose it when formal governance and traceability matter more than a low entry price. Smaller teams, organizations without CAB procedures, or buyers seeking a free plan may prefer a less structured alternative.
