"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."
"We can scale the solution as needed."
"I like vMotion because it manages fault tolerance."
"vCenter Configuration Manager is pretty simple."
"My primary use case is for migration"
"The most valuable features of vCenter Configuration Manager are highly mature technology."
"The product's deployment phase was easy."
"My experience managing virtual environments using vCenter Configuration Manager has been quite smooth. Over time, I've observed that there's been a significant local competency built around the product, especially in India, where ESXi and VMware dominate the market. It's evident that vCenter Configuration Center is the preferred management tool in this context, and it's relatively easy to find expertise in the market."
"The online configuration, especially in the latest version, is very good."
"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 dashboards in vCenter Configuration Manager are an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The solution could be more integrated with the Microsoft environment."
"There are some complexities within the system center. For example, we use two different applications for updates and the deployment of the machine. We also have another third party solution."
"The customer service and support are not as good as that of other solutions. It is not very fast."
"The interface itself is not very user-friendly."
"The technical support is not as responsive as it could be. They are slow to respond to our issues with a resolution. There should be online chat support added."
"The technical support could be faster."
"The price could be reduced."
