"The most valuable functionality is some of the policy pieces that are quite useful."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The GIS map feature needs to be enhanced and synced with topology views of containers and global collections."
"For my use case, incident coordination was an area of improvement. The internal software engine for coordinating outages could use improvement because sometimes, we used to get false alerts for unrelated devices. They did a really good job of trying to make sure that you got one major alert and any of the subsequent devices downstream were just additions to that, but occasionally, the engine wouldn't properly catch the right things, and we used to get a flood of alerts."
"I would like to see CA move Spectrum, Performance Manager, and some of their other tools moved to a SaaS based model. You see a lot of other manufacturers which are moving toward SaaS based models."
"A better integration with the UIM, as far as being able to do root cause analysis and that type of analytics."
"The solution's stability needs improvement."
"The upgrade process could be smoother. More of the steps around upgrading could be automated."
"The visual is a little archaic."
"I would like to see them eliminate the Java console. The user interface for this is a Java applet that runs on your desktop, and it is very problematic for us."
"What needs improvement in Versa Director is maturity because, from an operating point of view, it's not mature enough. You'll still need to do a lot of research on Versa Director, so if it could mature faster, that would be very good."
"Versa Director's deployment process is not the best."
"It requires some simplification."
"Versa could be more AI-oriented."
