Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It makes it easier to compare different opportunities, and to track the metrics though the process. It helps us make better choices of which opportunities to go after and not go after.""It is allowing us to keep track of what our projects are doing, and the idea module, what projects are coming into the pipeline.""We also have integration with CA Agile Central. So we get all the project-related data and the user stories-related data into it and we report on to that: How much funding is there, and how much are the actuals between these two tools?""Clarity PPM's strongest features are project and resource management.""The interfaces for project management, portfolio management, and reporting services are always helpful.""We have a centralized view that we can have in our delivery and business organizations.​""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.""Having information all together in one single source."

"ClickUp offers a relatively user-friendly experience, especially when it comes to its fundamental features.""We can update tasks and track projects.""Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""It gives reminders for important project dates and when a particular task is about to close.""The most valuable feature of ClickUp is its AI recommendation.""The product has an efficient design.""Everything in one place is the biggest benefit. I also like the diagramming tools, where you can create DFDs, structure charts, and more. That makes things easier.""The most interesting feature is the ability to share what you are working on with an external entity. The customer has direct visibility on what is being done on a particular project and this provides a lot of transparency."

Cons
"I want to see integration for SMS functionality.""One of the major pain points for me when it comes to Broadcom Clarity PPM is the new UI. The new UI is very good in terms of functionality and the drag and draw features, but it's not very responsive. When I say that it's not very responsive, what I mean is that sometimes, the tool is not very user-friendly. For example, a user saves a value on the form, but the tool doesn't give any indication to the user that the value has been saved. Some users are moving from the classic UI to the new UI, and end up getting confused because on the classic UI, when you click "Save", it'll save the information and you'll get an indication that it was saved. With the new UI, it auto saves the information, but it doesn't give an indication in the form of a popup box that "this form has been saved", or any type of message indicating that the information was successfully saved. It's been confusing for users who move to the new UI because of that. The users don't understand when the values are being saved or not being saved, even if there's an auto-save feature in the new UI.""In the timesheet UX, you can't do things like splitting time, managing overtime versus regular time, very easily. That would be helpful.""Broadcom Clarity PPM should improve how the reports are being generated and contracts management.""​​I would really like a modern UI. I do not want to get on a user interface and feel like I am in the 1990's.​""One of the things that have always been a bit painful is the integration with reporting utilities. The current integration is with Jaspersoft, and there are a number of difficulties with that. If you're using out-of-the-box fields and everything, it is a bit slow and clunky. It has a drag-and-drop interface for the users. On the backend side, there is a report designer. They haven't given or allowed me any training on it yet. So, it has been a bit limited in its features. On one of the earlier report utilities, they had one called Actuate, which had VBA as its base programming language, and you could do quite dynamic things behind the scenes, whereas the Jaspersoft interface seems rather locked. So, you're limited in your options. Being a programmer, you like to have room to be able to invent and create rather than just being limited to a few selection boxes.""​CA Communities need a lot of improvement.""There are some tool limitations. We had to create some of our own summary competencies to create more of an agile tool concept, or an agile team concept, that they did not really have.​"

More Broadcom Clarity Cons →

"It would be good if the solution facilitated voice calls or an option to chat directly with a person on ClickUp.""The email portion, specifically the email automation, where you can add attachments, has room for improvement.""ClickUp could improve by streamlining its functions and organizing them better for easier access.""ClickUp can improve the UI for mobile devices. For example, they are lacking some features in the Android version, such as Gantt charts.""I would love to see ClickUp integrated with more tools, possibly like Microsoft Loop.""ClickUp doesn't have a roadmap vision and a proper way of planning.""Introducing automation and AI would greatly benefit ClickUp by reducing manual work.""The cloud-based solution can get bugs in it occasionally, causing latency and loading issues."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "For all the functionalities of the solution, the price is in the market range, since it is a product which offers governance issues and supports the digital transformation, which is where we will go in the next year."
  • "Better understanding of requirements and how it will be implemented (with number of licenses for a given budget) would help."
  • "It is a little bit costly compared to others, but it is mature. Customer should understand this product is geared towards project management, not financial management."
  • "It is hard for them to say, "I have a person on my team who is going to be available, I am going to move that task to them". That requires a project management license, it doesn't require a team member license, so the licensing model does not sometimes support the way the business world is going."
  • "We're also moving to the latest version for less than $20,000 for a major corporate system. It's just amazing."
  • "Broadcom Clarity PPM costs us $500K, and that's only for the installation and kick off within the first year. For each succeeding year, it could cost $200K."
  • "There are different licensing models with Broadcom Clarity PPM. With the software as a service model, you pay as you go, and if you are on-premises, you can buy a perpetual license and an annual fee for maintenance."
  • "Cost-wise, the tool is very expensive and some tools might be able to cater to 80% of the functionality provided by Broadcom Clarity PPM but are not as expensive."
  • More Broadcom Clarity Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The price of ClickUp is reasonable. The price is approximately eight dollars per month per person."
  • "This solution costs $20 per user per month. If you have 20 users, you would pay $400 per month. There are no hidden fees that we are aware of."
  • "I don't have a lot of information about the pricing, but I know that it is fairly inexpensive."
  • "It's very affordable."
  • "The product’s cost is high."
  • "The product has good pricing."
  • "ClickUp’s pricing is better than Jira Align’s."
  • "The product is expensive."
