Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I enjoy the Risks/Issues section.I use that to raise things before they happen.""Transparency and just having the ability to procure information that is pertinent.""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.""Demand, Resource, Project Portfolio Management, for my business consulting services, PMO services to other clients.""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.""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.""There were probably about five or six metrics that we used. As a result, the groups that I supported were consistently ranked at the absolute top of the organization, as we were leveraging these built-in tools for tracking.""This product is good for resource management and project management. I have managed detailed schedules with great success."

"So when I take a note, I have the ability to highlight text and have it transform into a specific part of the note as a task.""Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""The most valuable feature of ClickUp is the UI scheduling tool. It is the best and most convenient and attractive.""ClickUp offers a relatively user-friendly experience, especially when it comes to its fundamental features.""It gives reminders for important project dates and when a particular task is about to close.""We found it very simple and intuitive to use...The initial setup is straightforward.""ClickUp optimizes task assignments with its user-friendly interface and plethora of options.""The simplicity of the tool is valuable because it has categories and subcategories."

Cons
"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.""Financials are okay, but there's a lot of room for improvement in financials.​Financial plans, if those could be made so that you're not always grouping your financial data by predefined attributes, that would be helpful for us.""The user interface (UI) needs to be improved. Right now, it's not the best.""In the future, I would like to see integrated Agile features and better integration with Agile tools.""Broadcom Clarity PPM could improve by adding advanced reporting in the tool. There are a lot of out-of-the-box reports, but I would like to see more advanced reporting.""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.""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.""I think user-friendliness is the key. Right now it's really clunky. We're also looking to upgrade, but an upgrade is not going to fix everything. The new UX is good, but there are still a lot of limitations. Once they work through those kinks and get those limitations removed, we'll be able to upgrade."

"It can be improved by making it more user-friendly.""ClickUp could improve its documentation section.""ClickUp could improve by being customised to the development industry. We would like to have bug trackers and an agile approach built into the solution.""ClickUp's interface needs improvement.""ClickUp could improve by streamlining its functions and organizing them better for easier access.""The product is not user-friendly.""I would love to see ClickUp integrated with more tools, possibly like Microsoft Loop.""The email portion, specifically the email automation, where you can add attachments, has room for improvement."

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."

    Questions from the Community
    Top Answer:The solution can be used for strategic planning. It is also used for portfolio and project management.
