Find out what your peers are saying about monday.com, Microsoft, Asana and others in Project Management Software."The ability to network informally is great for communicating with colleagues."
"The ease of use is valuable."
"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."
"Within the SaaS environment (since CA is supporting it), it has been extremely stable and reliable."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is the XFlow, that interface is pretty cool."
"The new UI makes it easier for people to go in there and know what to do. To train people, it's faster, more intuitive."
"Upgrades were pretty straightforward. CA took care of everything, we just did the testing."
"It has improved communication vertically, with some amount of data to be able to show that more resources are necessary, or why projects aren't moving as fast as management would like. That sort of communication makes my job a lot easier."
"It is allowing us to keep track of what our projects are doing, and the idea module, what projects are coming into the pipeline."
"What has been valuable are the workflows that are there today in order to keep our executive staff informed as well as our program managers and department managers."
"The burndown charts help track projects."
"The ability to change and rewrite tasks is valuable. You can add a lot of columns, change the owners and the change the components."
"We use Jira mostly for task coordination and assignment. Additionally, scrum methodologies defined work items and bug issues. If we create any bugs all of them are fixed."
"Overall, it is very intuitive. It is so lightweight and easy to use. It is easy to manage our product backlog and user stories, and it produces great reports."
"This solution assists us with being able to quickly and easily start sprints and keep accurate track of them, including billing using a time-tracking add-on."
"Overall, the solution is very nice and has a variety of great features."
"The user interface is simple."
"We have found the structure, functionality, and how Jira handles the tickets most valuable."
"The product isn't easy to use. It's not very intuitive."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"One of the major pain points for me when it comes to Broadcom Clarity PPM is the new UI. The new UI is very good in terms of functionality and the drag and draw features, but it's not very responsive. When I say that it's not very responsive, what I mean is that sometimes, the tool is not very user-friendly. For example, a user saves a value on the form, but the tool doesn't give any indication to the user that the value has been saved. Some users are moving from the classic UI to the new UI, and end up getting confused because on the classic UI, when you click "Save", it'll save the information and you'll get an indication that it was saved. With the new UI, it auto saves the information, but it doesn't give an indication in the form of a popup box that "this form has been saved", or any type of message indicating that the information was successfully saved. It's been confusing for users who move to the new UI because of that. The users don't understand when the values are being saved or not being saved, even if there's an auto-save feature in the new UI."
"The look and the feel of 14.4 is a bit antiquated."
"Build more capability and unification into the reporting."
"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."
"Maybe we need to bring some financial executive reports to our directors and executives. Maybe we can improve the use of Jaspersoft."
"We use Service Desk Manager as well. We have a custom tool to integrate the two. One of the reasons why PPM was chosen was because, "Well, it must integrate with SDM, because they're the same company." But that was not the case."
"I would like to be able to do time submission and time approvals on mobile rather than have to go in the system."
"Look and feel of the user experience."
"It can have a more high-level view of portfolios. It has quite detailed views, but I would like a high-level view of portfolios. We want to integrate Jira with Microsoft Active Directory, and I don't know how easy or hard it is going to be. I don't know if Jira supports this. We are starting that integration in the last quarter of this year. I hope to find all the required tools for this integration."
"In terms of improvement, I think Jira (Jira Agile, specifically) can be made more user-friendly. Most of the time, when people are somewhat used to the process, they find it easy to work with. But the thing is, if I want to create a sprint, I'd like the ability for it to come out like a kind of board or something like that. For example, they could offer something like a wizard for users who want to quickly create a sprint on the spot with a few clicks. I think that could be useful."
"In terms of the general Jira software, one element that is missing is budget management. Perhaps such functionality exists in add-ons, however."
"The filtration could be better."
"It should be less expensive."
"Having more seamless integration with Confluence would really help us track our product management activity and other product details in one place."
"There is a difficulty viewing all the attachments because they are shown in one place. I would like attachments to be shown at the comment level."
"The solution could improve by having its own tool for quality lifecycle management."
