We performed a comparison between Broadcom Clarity and Microsoft Project Server based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Project Portfolio Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It has improved communication vertically, with some amount of data to be able to show that more resources are necessary, or why projects aren't moving as fast as management would like. That sort of communication makes my job a lot easier."
"Transparency and just having the ability to procure information that is pertinent."
"I love the fact that it is very flexible. I am the lead engineer with enhancements, development, developing new portlets, anything that has to be added on, and integrating data, such as ETL processing."
"Broadcom Clarity PPM is robust and flexible, and all the functionality sets are in one place."
"The dynamism of the application where you can modify it to fit your needs is valuable. For example, you can create fields, metrics, and measures on the fly. You don't have to be limited to what the out-of-the-box format would be. It allows you to generate fields, metrics, and reports off of that with relative ease."
"It's very good out of the box, without configurations required."
"It's definitely improving our ability to make better decisions, and improving the quality of data that we have, to make the decisions for the strategic good of the company."
"It has been able to collect all the data, and in some ways, provide dashboards of aggregated data. "
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that the tool's reporting is very good."
"Capacity management and task baselining are the most valuable features of Microsoft Project Server."
"A single place for all our organisation's project records."
"The most valuable features are the gantt charts. It's easy to use for me."
"I like being able to manage the capacity in terms of the resources. I also like being able to share documents and information between teams. It's the best solution for collaboration."
"This is a scalable solution. It is easy to set up and to add clusters to your environment."
"The solution's ease of use is its most valuable aspect."
"The solution is stable."
"In the next release, I would like to have a little bit more functionality on chatbots in Clarity PPM, especially for support requests, such as for the most commonly used support tickets that people could resolve themselves."
"I wish patches would be quicker since we're a SaaS customer, and just be a non-event, so we don't have to go through a whole - essentially - upgrade cycle, just to do a patch. As a SaaS customer, I'd like the patch to just happen."
"Needs Gantt to MS Project link."
"Look and feel of the user experience."
"We use Service Desk Manager as well. We have a custom tool to integrate the two. One of the reasons why PPM was chosen was because, "Well, it must integrate with SDM, because they're the same company." But that was not the case."
"they could improve the mobile app. I think right now it only offers time sheet. If they can integrate a lot of other components into it I think that would be helpful for the users."
"We use a product called TFS and we would definitely like to see integration with that. It's not there right now. Agile Central is the one that is integrated with."
"As far as a tool that communicates with resources, with individuals - what they're supposed to do next or what action items came out of what meeting - it's not really used that way. Probably I could envision a way that it would be used that way. Until it's as easy as sending an email, it probably won't be utilized by the resources in that manner."
"Improvements are needed in the technical support process, aiming for a better user experience."
"This solution could improve by adding integration with Primavera schedules to allow the reading and management of them."
"It appears that Microsoft's primary goal is to migrate as much functionality as possible from the legacy on-premises Microsoft Project Server to the new cloud-based Power Apps solution."
"Permission management needs improvement."
"Microsoft Project Server could improve by making the solution more user-friendly."
"Microsoft Project Server's user interface is pretty average, and sometimes it can have bugs."
"It would be better if the solution had some more training or resources available for a person who is new to Microsoft Project Server."
"We want to expand to the local level where we lack strong IT expertise, we are considering making it more user-friendly."
