Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable features of this solution are reporting, configuration monitoring, and the Request and Incidents workflow.""Right now, we are starting to be dependent on the CMDB a lot.""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.""It gives us one central location to know, not only who is contacting us, but what they're contacting us for, what application they're contacting us for.""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.""The flexibility and being able to connect to multiple products are valuable. It allows to use it the way we want to use it versus the way it came out of the box.""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 most valuable fractures of Clarity SM are its ease of use and security. I have been highly satisfied. We've been able to integrate it with email and an SMS gateway for the purposes of notifications. That works very well."

Cons
"There are some issues regarding the knowledge base and the configuration manager.""It doesn't yet have the ability to integrate with other products.""More user experience in the look and feel of the application. ​""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 upgrade was pretty complex.""I am not able to see tickets on a bigger scale. I can't see the overall bigger picture.""The product needs to have a better user experience in the interface and mobile functionality.​""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."
