"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."
"It has greatly reduced the number and duration of outages as support teams are notified immediately when something goes wrong or even before something breaks."
"The event correlation is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"It has the capability to display overall health of the infrastructure and is very useful for executive reports on the health of the infrastructure."
"You can create an application topology that shows relationships between different components."
"From our monitoring perspective or from a visibility perspective, HPE UCMDB is a must have. It's an amazing piece of software."
"It's a very good product overall."
"The integration with the ticketing tool makes sure that there is a record for every issue."
"I've found the solution to be very scalable."
"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 service takes a very long time to start and it requires a lot of resources."
"Our issues are largely support related due to where we are and the knowledge base that we have here. This issue relates both HPE in general and to the technical products."
"The pricing is a bit expensive for smaller companies."
"The initial setup of this tool is complex for people who lack experience with it."
"The pricing could be improved."
"We are waiting for quicker release cycles. Also containerized upgrade, so that you don't have to bring a system entirely down to make a minor upgrade, in fact, or a minor patch."
"I'm not aware of areas that need improvement."
"The setup process can get a little bit complex."
