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."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."
"The ability to have all of the data in one place from risks and issues to resource capacity and actual utilization."
"We have a centralized view that we can have in our delivery and business organizations."
"The solution is technically fine and user friendly."
"it creates visibility across our whole organization. People that were often left in the dark wondering what was happening with projects. Now have an easy solution to see all the information they want to see across the whole portfolio."
"This product is good for resource management and project management. I have managed detailed schedules with great success."
"The performance is really good."
"The product is flexible."
"It is my favorite project management tool. The reason for that is that it is very flexible. It is much easier to use than Microsoft Project in terms of creating custom fields. It is very similar to Excel. So, people understand it, which makes it a little bit easier to use for most users."
"The fact that you can have different access groups is definitely a pro for Smartsheet. It also has the ability to integrate with a lot of tools."
"Smartsheet is easy to use."
"Smartsheet is stable."
"The product is easy to use."
"This solution provides easy collaboration and allows non-building users to use the system without requiring a license."
"The ability to update in real-time before meetings is great."
"The solution is straightforward. Whenever a requirement arises, we create three things in Smartsheet: a project plan, a dashboard, and internal documents. It is done through the form and Smartsheet's automation services. This process shortens the time to market from seven days to less than 12 hours."
"In the future, I would like to see integrated Agile features and better integration with Agile tools."
"Look and feel of the user experience."
"The look and the feel of 14.4 is a bit antiquated."
"The forms (e.g., project properties page) need to be more attractive, colorful, and field more flexibility for validations."
"One of the areas that we would improve upon is not necessarily with the tool, but having more tips/tricks on adoption. How to get people outside of the PMO to use the tool and get the information."
"Could be using more updated technologies."
"I would like to be able to do time submission and time approvals on mobile rather than have to go in the system."
"It would be good for them to work on the user interface to make it more interactive."
"It would be beneficial to enhance user-friendliness and make it less complex while maintaining its overall excellence as a product."
"Smartsheet should continue to expand the spreadsheet-type functionality because it's limited currently. Most business users are familiar with Excel and Office, so Smartsheet should adopt a similar way of navigating the program."
"Maybe the solution could be a little bit more flexible."
"There are some pain points for me. Other people use it a little differently, but I would like to be able to do a little more with it. I would like database functionality with it wherein if I bring in several Excel spreadsheets of data and load them into Smartsheets, I should be able to make a correlation between an index field and run a report against those two. I can do it, but it's a little clunky. So, I need a little more experience to feel comfortable doing that."
"They should improve the solution's integration with API."
"A room for improvement I found in Smartsheet is the view, as it's currently row-wise. I should have the opportunity to view a full scale, top down list instead of just a column driven list. I shouldn't have to go just left or right. I should be able to view it top down."
"The integration with Microsoft products should be improved."
"We have to manually put in every dependency in Smartsheet."
