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.

Horrible support for a product that can be improved in every way possible
This solution could be improved in every way possible. First, support is horrible at its best, and non-existent at its worst. Stencil updates, for example, can take up to one year before you even see anything. The vendor is all supportive when you are looking to purchase the product. However, once you have the software, they make ghosts even look real. The core product was last updated in 2013. It uses a cobbled together Excel spreadsheet as a database, mixed in with poorly developed and outdated Visio layouts and stencils. Don't expect it to work well with anything that's not Internet Explorer, not to mention the hesitations and IE crashes that come from the horrible coding.

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 I have found are the report and remote desktop features."
"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 only features that we have found valuable are related to rack elevation and layout, where it has the ability to build rack elevations."
 

Cons

"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."
