We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""Being able to look at the data across team members, resources, projects and coming up with the algorithms and resources.""The ability to have all of the data in one place from risks and issues to resource capacity and actual utilization.""This product is good for resource management and project management. I have managed detailed schedules with great success.""Project Management features that are excellent in managing the Project Management Life-cycle, along with other related details like Financials, Resources and flexibility to customize, as per requirement.""Right now, it's the PPM piece of it, the scheduling, the Gantt, the task view.""The performance is really good.""Upgrades were pretty straightforward. CA took care of everything, we just did the testing."

"Micro Focus PPM is flexible and easy to use. It's simple to customize and configure workflows.""The portfolio management and the resource management are the key features.""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.""Resource management: The resource management module is very complete and covers most of the time all needs of customers.""There are so many different pieces of functionality, and we use almost every single piece from deployment to demand, project, resource, and time management.""Recent Program Management lifecycle, Program Management aggregation views due to interactive UI (selection of risks, issues, and changes in Program Overview) and “flash look & feel" of this functional chunk, which is different in comparison to other parts of HPE PPM.""The data provided by PPM is trusted and is available almost immediately; without trusted data there is very less scope of any tool to be successful.""Micro Focus Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) has a very strong workflow engine."

More OpenText Project and portfolio Management Pros →

"The most valuable feature of Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management is accuracy.""The solution's tech support is good.""Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management is a well-engineered product from an IT perspective.""I like Primavera's planning capabilities.""The ability to streamline the process of obtaining signatures from our contractors is valuable."

Cons
"They need something so that if we, say, send some sheets to users, or for the scenario where not everybody has access to Clarity, but are part of planning; those people should be able to upload data directly to Clarity.""I think there's still a little bit of opportunity that we can do some stuff better in relation to the financial part of it; just that easier integration, that look and feel. Our project managers, and obviously finance people, love to interface and use of Excel. The more we can get CA PPM to behave in a similar way, which we're already starting to gain in that path, will be absolutely fantastic.""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.""​Maybe we need to bring some financial executive reports to our directors and executives. Maybe we can improve the use of Jaspersoft.​""Broadcom Clarity PPM should improve how the reports are being generated and contracts management.""The integration needs to be improved with Jaspersoft and Microsoft Project.​""A little bit better financial management. Right now it is more accountant-related, the financial management - of course, it's finance, it has to be financial. But it should be a little bit easier for project managers.""In the timesheet UX, you can't do things like splitting time, managing overtime versus regular time, very easily. That would be helpful."

More Broadcom Clarity Cons →

"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.""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.""They can make its UI better. Currently, the UI is a bit clunky.""Currently, HPE PPM does not allow “Project” approval, but only simple “Demand Request” approval (mobility).""Reporting; need to be able to provide fancy reporting out of PPM, way it is done in OBIEE etc.""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.""The solution can sometimes be a little inflexible and a bit caustic.""The user interface is very, very old and is missing some functions, such as, for example, re-do, follow, and share functions. The UI is not good."

More OpenText Project and portfolio Management Cons →

"The reporting could improve project management. We need multiple source reports. If someone is new to the support it has a steep learning curve.""Primavera could be better integrated with other products, and it needs more cost management features.""They should work on integrating the solution with ERP.""The solution's user interface is an area with shortcomings that need improvement.""The scalability 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 →

  • "Support and license management are two hurdles for us. Every time we purchase new licenses, it has taken us half a year to implement those."
  • "It is SaaS without a base fee."
  • "HPE PPM SaaS model is comprehensive, however, the base fee component has customer resistance to its recurring setup,"
  • "Now, we also received an increase in the support license prices, without any advanced notice. At this point, switching to unify all our licensing under HPE and customer support has been poor."
  • "We have an annual license, and it is fairly priced in comparison to that of other solutions."
  • "A large organization will find Micro Focus PPM affordable, but it may be a bit costly for a small or medium-sized company. The license is based on the number of users."

  • "The solution is highly priced compared to one of its competitors."
  • "Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management is an expensive solution. There is an upfront cost to purchase the solution and then there are annual fees to use the solution."
  • "The solution itself is cost-effective."
  • "My company has made an annual payment towards the costs of the solution. Price-wise, the solution is okay."
