"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 is a very good solution. It has a good interface and is easy to use. On top of that, it is very reliable in terms of distribution as well as getting the report."
"The product is very stable compared to older versions."
"The solution is user-friendly and easy to learn."
"The scalability to deploy the package."
"Technical support was helpful and responsive."
"You can remote control or RDP. That has been the most valuable because we can go into one console and can get to anything we want. Instead of going to all these different consoles, we centralized everything."
"This has made the management of our environment easier."
"The solution is highly 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 solution can be improved by speeding up the synchronizing of the policies on the devices."
"Initial setup was complex. There's a lot that goes into it."
"The tool's deployment is complex and depends on the architecture you want to implement."
"Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager can improve by allowing us to schedule the scripts, we don't have a script scheduling option and have to do it manually."
"Not everything is readily available, and there are a lot of commands that are only executable via PowerShell."
"The deployment process is lengthy and should be quicker to complete."
"Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager could improve the integration."
"It needs to be able to load faster during deployment."
