Avanqi vs Giva ChangeManager

Avanqi is a cloud-based change management platform that brings impact assessments, stakeholders, readiness, communications, approvals, evidence, and executive reporting together. Its portfolio view presents initiatives and programs alongside delivery posture, risks, and change load. Teams can map stakeholder influence and readiness, plan engagement actions, and score complexity, change saturation, and operational impact. Versioned documents, approvals, and delivery evidence connect to change records, retaining lineage and approval history. A permission-scoped AI assistant summarizes visible work, suggests next actions, cites source pages, and prepares drafts. AI starts disabled for each organization; an administrator must accept its terms to enable it, and drafts require confirmation before records change. Business includes Jira connector controls, while Outcomes Control Tower evidence ingestion is available only to explicitly approved pilot organizations. Security features include project and organization permissions, authenticator apps, passkeys, configurable single sign-on, and role-restricted audit history. Avanqi uses HTTPS for data in transit; it does not currently have ISO 27001 certification or a SOC 2 report. Free includes one active project and one member; Team is $49 a month and Business is $149 a month, with yearly billing listed at $490 and $1,490 respectively.

Giva ChangeManager is a standalone, ITIL-aligned system for logging, reviewing, approving, and tracking Requests for Change. It includes configurable request, approval, and change-control workflows, with ITIL-aligned defaults. Teams can coordinate work using an interactive RFC calendar, a weekly calendar view, real-time dashboards, and notifications; hardware and software assets tracked in Giva can link directly to change requests. ChangeManager can run independently or as a module in Giva Help Desk and ITSM products. Pricing starts at $76 a year, billed annually, and a free 30-day trial is available without a credit card. Professional and Enterprise plans each require a minimum of five licenses. All plans include unlimited routine technical support, setup assistance, and storage. Mobile access is browser-based for iOS and Android and requires no app download. Giva says it supports HIPAA/HITECH, GDPR, PIPEDA, and SOX compliance, and offers a BAA where needed. Change request entries do not have an AI Copilot, while the Knowledge Management module includes a Knowledge Copilot.
