"To me, the most valuable feature of Clarity CA is the timesheet. It's the only feature I use because I just support the tool, and I just enter time on it. Others use Clarity CA for other purposes, such as resource management, project management, scheduling, and financials. The tool also has a fairly simple integration with other systems, so at the moment, it's working fine. I also like that you can write your own code in Clarity CA, and you can make changes to it based on your needs."
"The platform is straightforward and user friendly."
"The solution is very easy to manage."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the ability to manage all of our environments allowing us to have better functionality and high availability."
"vCenter Configuration Manager is a very good product, it works well."
"vCenter Configuration Manager is a mature solution with high quality."
"The tool's scalability is good and easy, especially when compared to Microsoft Hyper-V."

"Configuration Manager simplifies management. Cloning via live migration is a useful feature."
"What could be improved in Clarity CA is its UI, but I know the Clarity team is working on a new UI, so I'm expecting its UI to get better. The software also has too many functions, so it would be good if the functions or features could be split up, rather than needing to buy the whole Clarity CA package, when you'll only use a few of its functions. This increases the cost of the software, so that's another area for improvement. How Clarity CA is marketed could also be improved."
"The product's high price is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"It can take a long time for the first information to become available. On the other hand, that's normal. It has to collect a lot of information before it can predict future needs. But it would be nice if there was some kind of base level to get started."
"Some of the migrations are difficult to manage since the solution is not compatible with a few of the operating systems, which poses a challenge during the physical to virtual migration process."
"It should be easier to use alternate storage."
"The solution's pricing is very high and could be improved."
"The pricing and security could be improved."
"The product's price could be lesser."
"It lacks the capability to manage the other systems."
