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."I especially like the reporting tools, which are visual tools and offer visual reports."
"They have begun to improve with the new cloud integration."
"The most valuable feature is probably the Kanban diagram. People are familiar with the Kanban tools. When they do their scrum meetings, they have that Kanban board where you can see the different tiles for all the queries and move them from left to right. IT is familiar with that because, for development, most of the tools have that capability. It could also be more graphical, like Asana."
"It is easy to check project costs in the solution."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Project are the availability of being online and within Teams. My entire team can use it and see it, versus the full Microsoft Projects, such as Project Professional, you need to have a license."
"It's a scalable product, especially the online version."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"One of the best features is that it is easy to use."
"I like the project management solution. It's really nice."
"Clarizen Slide Publisher has helped increase transparency and communication with project stakeholders for us."
"The feature that has improved our project planning the most is the ability to create custom workflows, which allows us to automate manual tasks that project managers need to perform. The collaboration feature enhances our team's productivity by allowing individuals to see the impact of their decisions on projects owned and managed by other teams."
"Clarizen's strength is reporting. Aside from reporting, I also like the ability to create customized workflow and custom actions. The workflow rules are handy. For example, you can create custom fields and dependent picklists."
"The licensing cost is expensive and has room for improvement."
"The full suite would be pretty expensive."
"The solution is a basic tool that does not give you analytical insights. It does not have any AI capabilities which can also help to plan."
"The new version has made it a bit more complicated."
"They should assist with tedious tasks."
"It would be better if the solution is integrated with other communication platforms like Microsoft Teams."
"The setup and scalability can be somewhat difficult for new users until they gain knowledge."
"The solution could be more flexible when it comes to integration."
"One specific area for improvement could be implementing a development environment to test workflows with live production data."
"It could be more user-friendly. I think it is too overwhelming, initially, in terms of possibilities and so on."
"If I start customizing too many things, Clarizen tends to get really slow in our environment and especially if I'm tunneled in an environment, like if I'm connected to my VPN."
"I felt like the slide publisher isn't that user-friendly. I think it wasn't that easy to use or to figure out because of formatting constraints, or maybe we need to get better at understanding some of its limitations."
