We performed a comparison between Broadcom Clarity and Jira based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The interfaces for project management, portfolio management, and reporting services are always helpful."
"Broadcom Clarity PPM is a high-value product that helps users become productive. It's a very stable, scalable, and fast platform, even from a self management perspective."
"It helps all the portfolio managers and the program managers to take stock of the financial situation at the program and portfolio level, because it rolls up all the financials at the product level."
"I appreciate the report that shows how utilized a person is set to be within the coming months. I use that feature a good bit."
"Absolutely, the most active community I have ever been on."
"The performance is really good."
"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."
"Demand, Resource, Project Portfolio Management, for my business consulting services, PMO services to other clients."
"It's easy to understand, and easy to navigate."
"The user story map is excellent. The features can be composed into stories and they can be allocated to each of the sprints in a program increment. It allows you to see all that in the user story map, and you have various dashboards to see the stories in various views. You can see them as a backlog view, for example, or you can see as an actual sprint view."
"Kanban boards are most valuable"
"Jira's collaborative features, such as comments, notifications, and real-time updates, facilitate better communication."
"The most valuable feature is the feature of assigning. Whenever I have an issue, Jira doesn't stop at just letting me describe the issue. I can also assign the issue to a developer, and the developer gets notified about it. After he is able to work on it, he can update the status and revert back to me through the same platform. It really avoids a lot of communication over email and phone. This the feature that I really like about Jira. I always use Jira with my team."
"I feel the strongest feature of Jira is its workflow engine. It helps us automate our workflows within our organization. It's the one characteristic of Jira which I think can help any organization, be it in any domain."
"The dashboards are useful."
"With the help of Jira, tasks are less likely to remain stagnant for a long time. We always see them somewhere on the board."
"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."
"I am going to be maintaining both new UX screens, which the blueprints make look like it is going to be really easy, but we would still have to be maintaining new UX screens as well as classic views for those functionalities that are not yet available in the new UX."
"When you are going to a more collaborative based approach, PPM does not support that."
"Maybe we need to bring some financial executive reports to our directors and executives. Maybe we can improve the use of Jaspersoft."
"The only real improvement from my side - I'm spoiled by things like Trello, with the very easy user interface, things like Basecamp - it's very much a static software project. If I was to focus on something it would be that user interface; making that something that is a joy to use, instead of something that feels like data entry."
"In the community, I do not see a lot of answers. A lot of people asking lots of questions, but I am not seeing a lot of answers come through."
"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."
"Look and feel of the user experience."
"If you're not a technical person, it might not be very user-friendly."
"Although it covers the overall requirements and measurements, it'll help if they had their own test execution feature."
"I'd like the solution to be more secure."
"For me, the solution is too complicated as it has too many features. It would be nice if they could streamline things."
"Whenever you edit a story, whatever you have changed takes a bit of time to save."
"If they want Jira to be the one-stop shop of the view of all of your deliverables, not just from a defect tracking perspective, but also from a requirement perspective, a code perspective, and a testing perspective, it needs to pull out more data and work better as an integration tool."
"The only thing that JIRA doesn't for us is release management in a way that I can create a list of versions easily."
"There is always a bit of a performance problem. It's a bit slow to load the whole data."
