Find out in this report how the two Project Management Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We have a centralized view that we can have in our delivery and business organizations."
"We are able to track budgets, and with timesheets, actuals against budgets."
"Visibility to where we are on projects. It tells someone where we are; if we're in trouble or not."
"We have flexible scrum teams, developers that will serve on one scrum team for a few sprints or for a project. Being able to track where people go with the resource management features, and making sure that our teams are fully staffed, is important."
"Being able to look at the data across team members, resources, projects and coming up with the algorithms and resources."
"We just put all the data into one place and hopefully, after we have accurate data, we can make more decisions based on real data rather than gut feeling."
"It allows me to keep track of the projects, residual location, it gives me the ease of getting status reports out, and checking risks and issues."
"Transparency and just having the ability to procure information that is pertinent."
"We use it for capacity planning. We need to gauge and assess whatever is coming to our pipeline and then everything comes to the pipeline, appears as a pic, and then based on that, we create the story points and we take it from there."
"The dynamic communication and the ability to customize it the way we want are the most valuable features."
"It is a complete solution. It has more features as compared to other tools, especially the open-source one that we use. It is also easy to administer."
"The burndown charts help track projects."
"The task management aspect of Jira is pretty pure. They have a lot of great plugins that really expand your options."
"The features that we find most valuable are the Workflow, Scrum workflow, and Dashboards."
"The UI is good. It's simple and not very complicated. It's very good for tracking."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is that it is a quite powerful user tracking system."
"The classic UI is very cumbersome. It can do everything but it's hard to use. It's easy to use once you understand it, but it's intimidating at first for somebody to see the solution."
"The forms (e.g., project properties page) need to be more attractive, colorful, and field more flexibility for validations."
"Build more capability and unification into the reporting."
"I would like to see more team-based management, and less people-based management; as far as the resource management goes, to do it per team and not per person."
"Maybe we need to bring some financial executive reports to our directors and executives. Maybe we can improve the use of Jaspersoft."
"Setup could be made easier."
"Portfolio Management Solution for Project Strategizing" What is our primary use case? It is mainly used for project management, developing the portfolio of the project and the budget process of all projects. What is most valuable? For a very long time, Broadcom Clarity had not developed the old interface that Broadcom no and we were not able to see any new features on the system because of the older UEX. We switched to the new UX at the end of March and it needs some time for the user to react to the new features. But if overall main features are being talked about, the financial part of Clarity is really appreciated. What needs improvement? Among things to be improved, Clarity can really work on its SAP interface. The current interface lacks out-of-the-box connectors for different applicators in the system. Therefore, this requires external support, which is beyond our expertise. In-house development is done for the interface, but as the system becomes complex, there is a building need to maintain the necessity of updates. If the updates aren’t maintained, then the system might be compatible. Additionally, the report generation process using a different software poses difficulties, leading to the need for external consultancy to create specific reports. Certain features, also face compatibility issues with our existing system. Despite these limitations, we find the system satisfactory overall, although a learning curve exists, especially for those unfamiliar with its particularities."
"In the timesheet UX, you can't do things like splitting time, managing overtime versus regular time, very easily. That would be helpful."
"It should be connected to ServiceNow."
"Integration with some of the automation tools could be improved."
"Jira could improve the workflow, screen, and field configurability. They are lagging behind other solutions, such as Allegra in work system configurability."
"A lot of the user interface could be updated."
"The solution's stability could be improved, and it could be made more robust."
"Out-of-the-box reporting is limited. It would be helpful if more customisation was possible."
"There could be some improvements in the project management and portfolio level features."
"Could be more stable with more integrations."
