"The dashboard is the most valuable feature."
"The ability to have all of the data in one place from risks and issues to resource capacity and actual utilization."
"Easy to use, visually. The new UX is intuitive."
"The reporting tools are superior to what was there before, which was someone crunching through an Excel spreadsheet. I've been able to do status reports through the projects, which has given visibility to my manager, and that's an improvement."
"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."
"It is a scalable, easy-to-deploy, and user-friendly solution for enterprise businesses."
"We have a centralized view that we can have in our delivery and business organizations."
"Being able to look at the data across team members, resources, projects and coming up with the algorithms and resources."
"It has highlighted areas in our company that were deficient in resources. It has allowed us to hire, then realize more benefits regarding the number of projects we can get done."
"Has a powerful workflow engine that allows creation of workflow complexities and processes."
"It's a very detailed tool. As far as an enterprise is concerned, it gives you the flexibility to manage everything: portfolios, projects, finances, proposals, resources, and time... It takes care of even the minor details that need to be captured. The project management functionality is configured really well within the tool. That stands out."
"I like the automated calculations, especially on the resource side. When project managers enter their resource requirements into their staffing profiles, they are automatically translated into labor forecast calculations. PPM automates a significant portion of the forecast calculations. Timesheets are also built-in. We automatically process time sheets and bill them accordingly."
"Micro Focus Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) has a very strong workflow engine."
"There are so many different pieces of functionality, and we use almost every single piece from deployment to demand, project, resource, and time management."
"Resource management: The resource management module is very complete and covers most of the time all needs of customers."
"Micro Focus PPM is flexible and easy to use. It's simple to customize and configure workflows."
"It is very important that the platform gives us a single place where we can measure progress toward goals, as we have weekly meetings with the CTO. We present these consolidated overviews and dashboards to him so that he has an overview of all the projects and can see the status of all the problems that we have and we are working on."
"The user-experience, enhanced performance, and in-hand governance can be improved."
"They won't let me put a button on the UI."
"It would be good for them to work on the user interface to make it more interactive."
"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."
"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."
"When you are going to a more collaborative based approach, PPM does not support that."
"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."
"The architecture must be improved."
"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."
"I would also like to see improvement in PPM's reporting and alerts. PPM has reporting capabilities, including HTML reports and portlets. But a majority of clients will build their own reporting platforms, or they will use external reporting platforms like Tableau and QlikView."
"We constantly put in requests for some of the things we need. One of those is being able to export just our standard request type to PDF."
"Reporting; need to be able to provide fancy reporting out of PPM, way it is done in OBIEE etc."
"There are some limitations when it comes to attaching receipts. For example, if we are going to buy some non-labor-related assets such as hardware, we are not able to attach the receipts in the Financial Management module in version 9.41."
"Micro Focus PPM should be less dependent on coding. It could also benefit from some updates to the software architecture. These have been on the roadmap for years now, but they haven't been released."
"The solution can sometimes be a little inflexible and a bit caustic."
"User interface continues to be poor. The product does not have a similar view in the different modules, e.g., staffing vs financial management, it looks like you are working with a different product and it is not easy to use or intuitive."
"We had a couple of issues with stability or performance degradation about a year ago, around the time of the initial rollout. Since then, we've only had two unexpected outages that were quickly resolved."
