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 are the requests and incident tracking.""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.""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.""You can customize it and make it work to the client's needs.""As of late, I really like the BI functions.""We centralized our knowledge from various sources into one source of truth that is continually updated.""Logging every action in Service Desk Manager (SDM).""The most valuable features of this solution are reporting, configuration monitoring, and the Request and Incidents workflow."

Cons
"Nowadays every person is used to an interface that is more user-friendly and this one is not so user-friendly maybe due to the fact that, if you need to let people customize everything, sometimes you lose out on a clean user experience.""Right now, you have to create the Scoreboards individually for roles or users. If they could separate that functionality, and create the scoreboards separately, and then just link scoreboards to roles and users - that way you could reuse the same ones - that would be a huge benefit. I know, because they're a nightmare to manage at times.""There are some issues regarding the knowledge base and the configuration manager.""The interface is pretty straightforward, but I think for some end-users a little more simplified user interface would help.""We talk a lot about the idea that Service Desk Manager should be more "service" oriented, not just ticket oriented.""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.""Improvements would include simplification in the user interface, being more expandable, better documentation. The user interface is fairly cluttered, and we can update it the way we need to, but it just seems dated.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I don't see anyone other than large companies being able to afford this system."

  • "Pricing is simple, as it’s per concurrent analysts."
  • "I think pricing of this model is suitable for growing corporations."

  • "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."
  • "The pricing is based on a subscription model."
  • "The solution is quite reasonable compared to other solutions in the market."
