Giva ChangeManager vs The Change Compass

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.

The Change Compass is a cloud platform for enterprise leaders managing portfolios of organizational change. It analyzes impact, readiness, adoption, and sequencing to show how initiatives affect teams over time. Dashboards display cumulative impact by team and week, helping leaders identify initiative collisions and workload overload. Short pulse surveys and one-tap leader ratings feed readiness and adoption scores into dashboards. The platform analyzes live plans, team workload, and readiness to flag adoption risks and recommend prioritized actions. Users can ask portfolio questions in natural language and upload project scope or requirements documents to draft change artefacts. The maker says it supports HR, project management, and digital workflow systems, with API hooks that may accommodate less common tools. The service is hosted in Microsoft Azure; the maker states it is ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certified and receives annual security audits and ongoing vulnerability assessments. The SMB plan costs $995 a month for three users, with data input and reporting, a dashboard, basic support, and limited integrations. AI Analytics+ is optional.
