Cohentis vs Giva ChangeManager

Cohentis connects strategic plans, expected benefits, initiatives, and evidence of whether teams adopt changes. It has three apps: Change portfolio for organisation-wide initiatives, Change plan for change managers, and Change mission for change agents. The portfolio maps benefits to initiatives and records each benefit's starting point, target, and latest measurement. Users set leading indicators, target values, and measurement rhythms; the app schedules measurements and flags due or overdue items. Change plans include a risk register and a timeline with sub-plans, milestones, measurement points, and dependencies. Change agents can open mission files without an account, capture what people say on a device, and send findings back as a file. The product links actions to risks, insights to conversations, and decisions to what prompted them. For Free and Pro, project data is stored as a file on the user's device, with no account or server holding the change project. The Free plan is free for one person and one project; Pro is $20 a month per change manager.

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.
