Report and remote desktop features come in handy; price could be lower

When it comes to improving XClarity, I'd like to be able to log in and have it all centralized instead of logging into a specified server and IP. I want to be able to log in and see all servers. I'd also like to improve the pricing as some of the features are quite expensive.

A Software Solution synchronizing information and activities to other systems that depend on accurate physical infrastructure information

Nylte is quite intricate to use. Training someone to navigate the platform would likely require a substantial investment, ranging from one to two months for basic proficiency, followed by an additional two to three months of consistent use to gain full proficiency. Despite its complexity, I believe there is room for simplification, making it more user-friendly. While there have been improvements, there is potential for further enhancements in this area.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The features that I have found the most useful are the reliability of the system and the simple way to upgrade. They're also moving to a more comfortable user interface."

"The most valuable features I have found are the report and remote desktop features."

"The power management aspect of nlyte provides a comprehensive overview of power consumption and forecasting capabilities. It allows for strategic planning, such as assessing the impact of adding new racks with specific power requirements. This feature facilitates considerations not only for power consumption but also for thermal aspects, including airflow dynamics between hot and cold aisles. In essence, the most advantageous feature of nlyte sfor us lies in its power management capabilities."

Cons

"When it comes to improving XClarity, I'd like to be able to log in and have it all centralized instead of logging into a specified server and IP. I want to be able to log in and see all servers."

"They can move to something even more simple for daily user management. The way to upgrade the framework is not so simple at the moment. They can make it better in the future. These changes would require a complete redesign of the infrastructure and rethinking of the interface."

"Nylte is quite intricate to use.

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are some services that need to be purchased in addition to the license."

"We currently hold a perpetual license, and our expenditure is limited to support costs. While I recall that the new license model follows a subscription-based SaaS approach, I don't have the precise cost details as we are not actively using it at the moment."
