Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's fairly easy to use, from a UI standpoint.""Logging every action in Service Desk Manager (SDM).""Scalability is very good. We have scaled to more users and more functionality.""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.""Ability to write macros, which can in turn trigger some condition or could be conditioned to basically trigger notifications, the workflow desk, or web calls. It is huge benefit to customize it.""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.""Being able to specify event rules and SLAs that can help to automate some of the processes that people are doing manually is valuable.""The initial setup is pretty straightforward."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is helpdesk escalation.""The flexible schedule is the most valuable feature. It was very easy to set out a rotation.""Transmogrifier and automatic solution report gives me a report with the solution and the way to solve issues when an error occurred.""VictorOps has been good enough for us and it's effective for our needs in case of an on-call escalation process.""The alert calling feature is the best because notifications are delivered via phone messages."

Cons
"Improvements would include simplification in the user interface, being more expandable, better documentation. The user interface is fairly cluttered, and we can update it the way we need to, but it just seems dated.""The upgrade was pretty complex.""Ease of support and upgrades need much improvement.""Report solutions are a little short.""They really want user names in the document owner and subject expert fields, and that is just not practical.""Just little technical tweaks here and there. Like more options. For example "Organization." We wanted that to be available inside the change order, as well as the ticket and the request. And that's not available.""The interface is pretty straightforward, but I think for some end-users a little more simplified user interface would help.""​Compared to some of the other products, I think we are bit behind​.​"

More Clarity SM Cons →

"At that stage, all our needs are fulfilled, but at the beginning, we had some feature requests and they were deployed during their roadmap.""There could be improvements with communicating an incident or alert.""Should have more YouTube webinars.""The third-party configuration tool could be easier to use.""The solution can be improved by including a wider list of permissions."
