Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The in-service catalog is quite useful.""The fact that it aligns very well with ITIL. I think that's probably one of my favorite things about it, because it's following up a general best practice for service management.""It has allowed us to be more efficient in our problem and change management processes and procedures.""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.""Modules of integrated ITIL managers.""It improves our service delivery process. We're more efficient. We're leveraging the ticketing system, which is always more efficient, so we can measure and improve.""Scalability is very good. We have scaled to more users and more functionality.""When users have a problem, they report using Service Desk and it is very useful for this."

"This is a premier product and it has been around for a long time.""I like that you can do all the things with it. You can patch, and you can run the scheduled tasks. You can remote in, upload files, and download files. You can log onto a computer PowerShell, or command prompt, without having to log into RDP. I also like its ease of use.""I am impressed with the tool's integration with our mail system."

More Serviceaide ChangeGear Pros →

Cons
"If I had to choose, it would be more around the user interface than the mobile experience.""The monitoring tool is in need of improvement.""We need a mobile solution. We are not using any mobile functionality for the product, but we think that this necessary.""The interface for the users is a bit old-fashioned and not user-friendly.""The product needs to have a better user experience in the interface and mobile functionality.​""There are some issues regarding the knowledge base and the configuration manager.""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.""​Compared to some of the other products, I think we are bit behind​.​"

More Clarity SM Cons →

"The tool needs to improve its customization of the user interface.""Its reporting is lousy and bad. It is not as good as it should be. There is too much work involved to get what you want. Most times, you have to call them to customize some stuff. I just don't like that part. They need to work on their reporting. They have a way to go.""What I would like to see is a simplified solution that is packaged better, where you can easily implement or turn on the functionality that you need."

More N-able MSP Manager Cons →

"The solution needs to improve its reporting features. The user interface needs a lot of improvements."

  • More Clarity SM Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Don't get scared of the price tag because it's definitely worth it."
  • "I don't know the exact cost, but I know it's reasonable. Its cost of entry is not bad. I've had other organizations sign up for it. I don't know how much they paid, but it wasn't bad. You charge for every object. You charge for AV, and you charge for servers. There is a charge for everything or every object in that. I know we make money from it, but I don't know what it is."
  • "I would rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten since it's not the cheapest one in the market."
