Broadcom Clarity Scalability

Lowell Wetzel - PeerSpot reviewer
Systems Administrator at Cambia Health Solutions

It is incredibly scalable. It is deployed on-prem. I ran into a little bit of a complication trying to move to the cloud, and then I saw someone offer a solution to that problem. Basically, the application needs to be able to communicate with itself, and we set up multiple instances. In a cloud environment, you can basically set up a super large instance of a cloud environment and have all the instances on that same cloud server. We had the opportunity to move to a cloud, and I just didn't do that because I didn't have a solution to that simulcast issue where the application needed that to work, but the cloud didn't offer it. In a cloud environment, because it doesn't allow multicast, you'd have to expand just one cloud server, but you can re-instantiate a cloud server with a larger environment, but with the on-prem solution, you can just add another server and add instances and some items. You can just keep expanding. It is very expandable.

In terms of usage, in my organization, they're using it for project and portfolio management, but not as much for time or resource tracking as they used to. Its usage changes with the business environment. So, it is rather unpredictable.

I believe there are 2,000 users at the moment. We were at a high of 10,000 for a while, but then they scaled back a bit. We have all of our contractors entering time via the Clarity system, and then I have an interface with an external company called Beeline, where we export timesheets there, and that is for a contractor payment processing center. The system is very dynamic where you can generate exports and transfers like that. They create projects within Clarity, and this is where portfolio management comes into play. I transfer the assignments and the project information to Workday. The resources enter their time in Workday, but the project design and tracking are kept track of in Clarity because Workday, I guess, doesn't allow the same level of detail that Clarity does. I know it sounds a little complicated, but that's the way companies work.

I would rate this solution a nine-point-five out of ten since it's highly scalable. We have some customers who have close to 45,000 users already, but larger clients can have between 8,000 to 9,000 users on average. Our clients are enterprise businesses.

It is very scalable. Currently, we have around 350 users, the majority of whom are from various governmental services. Though some smaller organisations, such as the tax service, use the software for their projects, their numbers are limited. Despite offering a variety of services, there is an underutilization of its features. We have the capacity to activate more choices to improve the information flow between the system and SAP, particularly in the financial area. Previously, node two was the option, but we're now lobbying for modifications that may need changes to the system's financial structure. Furthermore, we have forthcoming services that are interested in using the product, and thankfully, supporting them will not need large setup modifications.

I will reference my last job where when I first started, nine years ago, working with PPM (Clarity), we started out with a PMO of about 20 people, and keeping track of IT resources in the couple hundreds. Over those eight years, we scaled to a PMO of 250 people and thousands of users. 

So, I have seen it scale up. I have also, unfortunately, seen it scale back down, which is why that is where I used to work. So, it is definitely a scalable system.

There are some performance issues in our financial areas, but we are not using the out-of-the-box financials. We are using our own. So, we have to kind of rip that out and put ours in. In that specific area, we have been asking and we are trying to get some stuff optimized, because it just takes a long time to get data.

It's nice that we have the options. We try to tell our customers not to "drink from the fire hose." It's important that they start off and have some discipline before they take on more. They come to CA World, they see all the exciting things and features, and they come back and say, "I want it all." So it's kind of my being the "pacemaker" for them. I have to say, "Let's start here and build off that," while building their disciplines. They're getting their PMs engaged because everybody adopts change a little bit differently. So we want to make sure we're doing it smoothly.

RR
Experienced Analyst at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees

At my organization, in my last couple of assignments, I worked inside IT. It's the global IT organization. Inside of that organization, there, of course, are subgroups. One of which was our program management office. There were also areas within the IT organization that tracked things other than projects. They tracked applications. For example, on a worldwide basis, we had about 1,500 applications worldwide approximately.

At its peak, I don't believe it exceeded 500 users. I don't know what the actual licensure arrangement or agreement or contract was with Broadcom CA, but what I do know is that as time went by, the number of users declined. There were trade-offs, and decisions were made. Some of the biggest complainers about doing the data entry were the most senior managers.

In time, the more like mid-level managers would say, "Well, if our bosses don't have to make their time entries, why should we? All we really care about are the worker bees." Eventually, things became more diluted.

Getting back to our ability to track applications within the corporation, to this day, it is still the official source of record for tracking the number of applications. There's a constant need to simplify our business and start making greater and greater use of better technology, et cetera. I know from that standpoint, the tool is still being used for that. They're still using it for program management, to understand and track project management costs, et cetera. That said, right now, I just don't know how many people are actually logging into the tool.

There were rumors that they were going to stop requiring people to enter their time into the tool. Unless of course, you are actually working on a project. If you're a resource that's assigned to project management, then you're obligated to track your time. For people who have nothing to do with project management, and you're just pure overhead, that's where things began kind of winding down, especially towards year-end last year. I know it's come down substantially since its peak of 500.

I think scalability is a big thing, especially around being on SaaS and on a cloud arrangement. That scale really sits with the CA side of things, so as we grow, CA are going to have to grow with us as far as that relationship. Of course, they can do that, considering some of their larger clients that they have in the US and other areas around the world. We're very comfortable that it leads into the future.

When we started off - it's been almost eight, nine years now with CA PPM - at that time our user base was a lot more. But now with CA Agile Central coming into the picture, I think a lot of companies are making a shift of moving a lot of their user base from CA PPM to CA Agile Central. So it is cutting across various tools. It does not concentrate on a single tool.

In terms of scalability, it is a little bit slow.

We've created a support ticket, and hopefully they'll respond. I think for regular day-to-day operations, it's okay. But when you get into Jaspersoft reporting, it is slow. And nowadays, people don't have patience, I don't have patience.

Broadcom Clarity PPM's scalability is okay. Obviously, it could be better. But now we have great scalability with Service Management.

Our clients are medium and large enterprises. For example, I implemented for a company in Columbia which had about 3000 users.

I think that the solution's usage has been decreased because the solution has a lot of competition right now. For example, Service Now is improving the end user interface and the final digital interaction and I think Clarity Service Management is not. I feel that Service Management is not developing more functionality to cover the end user's demands.

Scalability is fine. We run anywhere. We do not have the time sheet problem where everybody logs in on Monday. We have lots of users, about 300, not a lot but they are not timesheet users. They are all financial contract managers and PMs. We do not have the traditional " I have to do my time." 

We have what I will say is a different level of user, meaning they are in there to see if their projects are on, the date is up-to-date, and they are extracting stuff to feed the downstream processes. It is a different user type.

Senior Developer at a tech services company with 1,001-5,000 employees

On-demand implementations are more scalable as compared to on-premise implementations. As with number of users added, licenses can be increased and infrastructure requirements are taken care of by CA itself.

Project Controls at a energy/utilities company with 1,001-5,000 employees

From what I've seen at a recent conference, I'm quite impressed. You can do a lot with it and there is lot of room for growth.

CA PPM (Clarity) Architect at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees

It's scalable, but not great. We're a pretty large implementation. We have 120,000 active resources in the tool. We see a lot of performance impacts, particularly in the newer versions with Jaspersoft and things like that, so that part has been pretty disappointing. But, you know, it still gets the job done. It's just a little slow.

In terms of scalability, it has adapted well. We use it for both small projects and very large projects. I think it’s great that it handles both kinds of projects with equal power.

Sr Developer at a aerospace/defense firm with 1,001-5,000 employees

I know it as being used for two-server system.

We intend to get into the thousands of users. We haven't reached that point. It's not driving the hardware resources that we would expect to see as something that's taxing the system.

As far as the features that we've planned to use, there's Jaspersoft, which allows you to move from Business Objects, and of course we have an upgrade being planned.

Director of Operations at a tech services company with 1,001-5,000 employees

The scalability is a bit complex. It's hard to modify things on the product, which affects the ability to expand.

I'm not sure of how many users are on the solution.
