Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It also provides the front end for the employees too. It's pretty basic, but it gives them the means to reach out to IT so they don't have to pick up the phones.""When users have a problem, they report using Service Desk and it is very useful for this.""The tool itself is valuable as a result of all its features combined. Therefore, I have found that there is no feature more valuable than another.""The solution's back-end architecture is very good for end users.""Logging every action in Service Desk Manager (SDM).""Being able to specify event rules and SLAs that can help to automate some of the processes that people are doing manually is valuable.""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.""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."

Cons
"They need to improve the High Availability, and the native integration between CA Service Desk Manager, CA Process Automation, CA Service Catalog and CA Unified Self-Service.""It doesn't yet have the ability to integrate with other products.""We just upgraded about a year and half ago and it was painful. We had the testing of the dev environment, and then testing of the production environment, so it was two weekends out of my life. And stuff broke.""The SDM administration and customisation needS deep information about architecture and vendor support continuously.""We went from 12.1 to 14, so there was a lot involved in it. The issues we had were migration issues, getting our information from one place to the next and making sure everything was as everyone needed.""The interface is pretty straightforward, but I think for some end-users a little more simplified user interface would help.""If I had to choose, it would be more around the user interface than the mobile experience.""More user experience in the look and feel of the application. ​"
