Quite good back-end architecture for end users but the API is very, very bad
Our company uses the solution for system, program, service request, change, and knowledge-based management.  We perform CMD authorizations and use a lot of integrations for our in-house or third-party applications. We also use Salesforce automations and Microsoft orchestrations.  We have about…

Generates comprehensive system status updates for trend analysis, but the customization features need enhancement
The adoption of Kaseya has significantly enhanced our IT service and delivery management compared to our previous reliance on Excel-based processes. The transition has provided us with essential reports on resource utilization. Additionally, the platform generates comprehensive status updates on open tickets and allows for trend analysis. The product does not provide automation features. We have to integrate third-party tools for automatic ticketing. Its reporting capabilities could be enhanced as well. I rate it a six out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The view it provides into who's doing the work."
"It is easy to tell what needs fixing and the priority of things."
"It has helped us to organize a lot of our assets, so we have configuration items to attach to our change management. We can have tickets for change management and set them aside for an approval process."
"Clarity is flexible to implement and integrate. It gives the developer or consultant a broad space to work and customize based on what the customers want."
"The most valuable features of this solution are reporting, configuration monitoring, and the Request and Incidents workflow."
"As of late, I really like the BI functions."
"The use, from administrative stance, is pretty simple; and even from an analyst and employee's stances. It's an easy to use system, as far as ticketing systems go, because some of them can be really inundating and complex."
"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."
"The platform's most valuable feature is the ability to produce daily summary reports."
 

Cons

"The methodology introduced for Level 1 analysts needs to be taken to Change Management Process. It would be useful to be able to look in Change Management and see the current status of the process."
"I would like to see the API cleaned up."
"Diversifying notification methods with pop-ups or ready-made WhatsApp or Skype integration packages would be welcome."
"Needs custom dashboards, without them it takes too long to view some information (though xFlow is an improvement)."
"One area that this product can improve is in the mobile user aspect."
"We would like to see them integrate more of a service catalog, which is more of an Amazon-type fill in your bucket, then sign in, once you decide what you want."
"I would also like to see a simpler reporting tool. They went from one fairly robust, very complex, reporting tool - it was great - and then they went to another one that was also fairly complex and robust. That's a great tool for people who are report writers, but for the average person who just wants to get a quick little report, it's like handing somebody a chainsaw because they have to break some toothpicks in half."
"More user experience in the look and feel of the application. ​"
"Kaseya Vorex's customization features could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a subscripted needed to use Clarity SM. The price of the solution could be less expensive. ServiceNow is less expensive and BMC Helix is priced similar to Clarity SM."
"I think pricing of this model is suitable for growing corporations."
"I don't see anyone other than large companies being able to afford this system."
"It is a bit expensive, but you definitely get what you pay for. It is worth it!"
"The pricing is based on a subscription model."
"Clarity offers a perpetual license. Customers purchase the license once and then pay for maintenance. CA provides a subscription model as well. Both models are available for our customers."
"The solution is quite reasonable compared to other solutions in the market."
"Pricing is simple, as it’s per concurrent analysts."
