We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The database and the power that is driven behind the database.""It gives us one central location to know, not only who is contacting us, but what they're contacting us for, what application they're contacting us for.""Scalability is very good. We have scaled to more users and more functionality.""Clarity is flexible to implement and integrate. It gives the developer or consultant a broad space to work and customize based on what the customers want.""XFlow (Temperature) and Service Point together provided an extremely user-friendly and collaborative experience to the point of making it easy for all users of the product, whether end-users or analysts.""It is the most stable product in the market.""The most valuable fractures of Clarity SM are its ease of use and security. I have been highly satisfied. We've been able to integrate it with email and an SMS gateway for the purposes of notifications. That works very well.""It has a good GUI interface."

"The product has the best features for ITSM.""The most valuable feature is remote access. People are working from home, and we can take remote access through it.""SummitAI IT Management Suite's chat box feature has reduced our service discount, and because it's intelligent, the responses that go out to the users have improved, and the resolutions are much faster.""It was easy to access and fast. Our experience using it solely as a ticketing tool. We used fetch reports from the tool, particularly with regard to SLA tracking for our partners."

Cons
"​We would like to see them revamp, or rework, a lot of their configuration management database structures. We hear that is on the horizon.""The product needs to have a better user experience in the interface and mobile functionality.​""We talk a lot about the idea that Service Desk Manager should be more "service" oriented, not just ticket oriented.""More user experience in the look and feel of the application. ​""The interface is pretty straightforward, but I think for some end-users a little more simplified user interface would help.""Although I wasn't involved in the initial setup I have been involved with upgrades. They have been fairly complex. We've had some issues with upgrades where we had to roll back and get some things fixed. Some things that we ended up tracking back to not following directions right, but then other things we've run into issues.""Ease of support and upgrades need much improvement.""If I had to choose, it would be more around the user interface than the mobile experience."

"Integration was a major limitation with SummitAI.""There could be flexibility in terms of customization.""I would like them to add software inventory in the next release. We don't have that right now.""SummitAI IT Management Suite's project management and operational management features could be improved."
