Allows for customization of the service desk manager

They should enhance the service desk manager's service point function to be more customizable. Presently, there are so many limitations in this particular UI. Thus, similar to the existing UI, they should provide a customization source for this new UI. It could turn out to be very good for the end-user experience.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Utilization of change management features allowed us to effectively implement both group- and department-level change advisory boards and coordinate the interaction between the disparate management levels."

"The new xFlow interface that was introduced for Level 1 analysts really helps the them to achieve the best and fastest result for their users/customers."

"Before Service Desk, we were kind of flying a bit blind internally, but with it, we're still in the honeymoon phase and it has provided us many, if not all, of the tools that we're looking to use and implement in our system."

"This solution has helped align our overall IT and organization strategy because it got rid of shadow systems."

"The most valuable features of this solution are reporting, configuration monitoring, and the Request and Incidents workflow."

"The most valuable feature is the usability of the search when you want to find other tickets that relate to the incident you're working on."

"The most valuable features are the service catalog and process automation; in deployment, the ICT automation and self-service."

"Customizability. You can easily make your own tables and add fields."

More Clarity SM pros

"Vision Helpdesk has a very small price but has many functions, and compared with others their price is 3-5x lower for similar functionality."

"Customer service has been one of the best for any software provider we have seen; any issue we had was solved quickly."

"If you are looking for an affordable solution for your business but want all the features of something you would expect to pay highly for, choose Vision Helpdesk! Trust me - you won't look back!"

Cons

"I am not able to see tickets on a bigger scale. I can't see the overall bigger picture."

"We would like the CMDB to be populated automatically. At the moment, everything is manually created."

"Maileater is the biggest issue we’ve had recently."

"They really want user names in the document owner and subject expert fields, and that is just not practical."

"The setup was complex. Out-of-the-box was definitely a difficult configuration because a lot of manual configuration needs to be done."

"One area that this product can improve is in the mobile user aspect."

"The upgrade was pretty complex."

"I encountered issues with scalability. The solution is 32-bit."

More Clarity SM cons

"Their live-chat support needs work."

"I think I'd like to see a more user-friendly interface in the user-ticket view."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is based on a subscription model."

"Pricing is simple, as it’s per concurrent analysts."

"I don't see anyone other than large companies being able to afford this system."

"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."

"I think pricing of this model is suitable for growing corporations."

"It is a bit expensive, but you definitely get what you pay for. It is worth it!"

"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."
