Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Feature-wise, I would say that its overall ability to be infinitely customizable is valuable...My experience with the support team has been amazing.""Workfront is innovative and these were plenty of features that I found valuable while working at Logitech. Workfront had this feature of Project Schedule Templatization. This saves time and effort and even leads to the standardization of processes that are well-assorted. The Intelligent Graphical Interfaces of Workfront allow one to look at a specific type of resource and a specific phase for a specific family of products. You can get quite granular with the data and even zoom in or out of the timeline. It also categorizes projects according to classes and portfolios so that over time, you can more easily understand what are the various metrics involved in producing a specific portfolio Another important feature is Workfront allowing you to validate milestones and investigate the project. This also helped me to understand which projects are performing well and whether it was beneficial to invest in the same. The IT and the app configuration is quite secure and it is one of the benefits. One more valuable feature is the integration of communication systems inside Workfront. This helps you differentiate between normal business emails and project-specific conversations. This is also known as ‘queues’ and I absolutely find this feature extremely powerful.""The tool is very user-friendly.""I also like Workfront's integration. The solution integrates natively with other systems. It's easy to connect Workfront to any product that has a customer service database, such as a CRM or service ticket management solution.""The intake feature is the most valuable in Workfront.""The solution is stable.""I can say it is a powerful tool. We have everything in-house in that tool, like, creating reports, dashboards, creating various workflows, and everything we have inside one application.""Monitoring the progress of projects and tasks is very effective."

"Broadcom Clarity PPM's most valuable feature is the plenty of modules, such as portfolio, project, resource, and time.""Upgrades were pretty straightforward. CA took care of everything, we just did the testing.""This product is good for resource management and project management. I have managed detailed schedules with great success.""It is very stable. We are on demand. With on demand, those guys keep it running.""The solution is technically fine and user friendly.""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.""Easy to use, visually. The new UX is intuitive.""The most valuable feature is the portfolio functionality because we have the ability to work with different scenarios and many kinds of financial management. We can integrate with ERP, and with other solutions from third-party vendors. The financial model in Broadcom Clarity PPM, it's the most valuable aspect."

More Broadcom Clarity Pros →

"It makes it more fun to work with a modern designed and easy-to-use solution as a team and not add or analyze data alone. Internal, external, home office, remote work, desktop, mobile (available on iOS and Android), are always connected to One2Team.""I find Sciforma's customizability valuable.""The integrated portfolio and project management approach is the most valuable feature of Sciforma."

Cons
"Sometimes there are glitches when we are reviewing an interactive proof.""Workfront's reporting capabilities must be improved.""We were having some difficulties creating different kinds of reports and dashboards.""The solution's visualization feature could be user-friendly.""I have used the product and instantiated it, almost seven years back. The process was fairly complex, however, I don't know if they have changed the same now. But this is something I think, if not addressed can be improved. Another area that needs a little attention, is the change of implementation lead. Back when we had Workfront instantiated, we often had our timeline delayed due to the change in the implementation lead. Now Workfront is under Adobe and, in case, this issue, isn't fixed it should be given due attention. Also, Workfront is a universal tool, which can pose a difficulty for small businesses and companies, who don't have the required time, effort, and knowledge to configure it periodically.""I would say that the stability, honestly, has gone down since the Adobe acquisition, and the quality when they roll out their updates.""Our product and graphic designers are working with various Adobe products, but Workfront has a no-frills interface. It's a useful tool with everything we need, but it could be a little more attractive and present information in a polished way. It's a web interface, so it's accessible, but the appearance could be a little slicker.""The interface can also be customized to fit and accept many tools for better performance and customer service improvement."

More Adobe Workfront Cons →

"They won't let me put a button on the UI.""Look and feel of the user experience.""I'd like to see blueprints. I'd also like to see the user interface simplified, and to have a lot of templates available on each blueprint.""The architecture must be improved.""Their online documentation is okay. It is not great. It is hard to get to some of the answers to the things that we may be running into, such as use cases that we are trying to fix. So, frequently we have to put in tickets.""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​.""​CA Communities need a lot of improvement.""Needs Gantt to MS Project link."

More Broadcom Clarity Cons →

"For the future AI (Artificial intelligence) must be part of a modern solution. AI is with its unique ability to monitor patterns, is a capable assistant for project managers. Artificial intelligence is being used to help with project organization on a collection of different data from multi-data sources.""The solution's graphical user interface (GUI) is a bit old and could be improved.""The report developer needs a bit of streamlining."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The pricing of Workfront is completely license based."
  • "Adobe purchased Workfront in the past year, and they're putting work into developing the platform, so I expect the price to rise. It isn't cheap, but it's reasonable for the value it provides. It isn't Monday.com where you pick a license with a set price, and you've got a project manager."
  • "We are partners with Adobe, so we get the licensing at a cheaper rate."
  • "Speaking about pricing, I wouldn't recommend it to a smaller company because I do think the price point is higher than other solutions that can work."
  • "The pricing is a barrier to implementation. It is expensive compared to other competitors. Speaking about licensing, they have a private manager license for $1000, which you can use for administration as well. Then they offer a worker license for $500, and then a reviewer or contributor license which is free."
  • More Adobe Workfront 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 →

  • "I rate the pricing a four out of ten because Sciforma's rates are good."
  • "The solution's pricing is neither too expensive nor too cheap."
