The feature that has improved our project planning the most is the ability to create custom workflows, which allows us to automate manual tasks that project managers need to perform. The collaboration feature enhances our team's productivity by allowing individuals to see the impact of their decisions on projects owned and managed by other teams.

The solution supports our decision-making by providing various features that different teams can use. For example, we utilize the dashboard component to pull in key metrics or metadata presented visually and in table format.

Clarizen's strength is reporting. Aside from reporting, I also like the ability to create customized workflow and custom actions. The workflow rules are handy. For example, you can create custom fields and dependent picklists. It lets you create different views, which is helpful because we have multiple specialized teams and departments using Clarizen at Dell. All these factors work together well. But for my role, I deal primarily with the metrics and reporting. I keep track of just how much content we're making and how much is getting consumed. I spend a fair amount of time using the reporting module.

I think there's value to Clarizen's work configuration features as well. However, the team that I'm on right now doesn't necessarily need a tool to track the schedules of the projects we're kicking off. We're using Contently for some of those functions, like routing and reviewing. But that's because we tap into the resources on their side. Some of our content writers are on the receiving end, so it makes more sense, and we have a subscription to Contently. But it didn't make sense to us to use Clarizen for that. We're purely just looking for the finished product and tracking those assets and pieces of content that are completed.

Report customization is most valuable for us. The customized reports help us get an overview of how our portfolio is operating. We can customize a lot of the reports. 

Before we started using Clarizen, we didn't have a great overview because if you use visualizations with Power BI, for example, you have to take an extract from Clarizen, get that data into a format that Power BI would accept, and then put in that visualization. But I love the fact that Clarizen integrated this visualization within it.

With Clarizen Slide Publisher, we're able to extract PowerPoint presentations. We have a standard template that we share with our leadership team to give them an overview of the projects. This is very important for our organization and it saves us a lot of manual work.

Clarizen Slide Publisher has helped increase transparency and communication with project stakeholders for us. Before we started using it, we had to manually go into each of the projects and get some of those key metrics to see how we are doing. But with the Slide Publisher, we're able to get a single slide view of an entire project. We can pick and choose the elements that we need. In this way, we can identify which projects are on track and which are at risk. This gives us a sharper focus on the issues that we need to work on. Slide Publisher has been a lifesaver for us. It saves us five to 10 hours a week.

Provides visibility into employee utilization, progress on specific client projects and a portfolio view of all programs. Integration capabilities look valuable but not yet being used (Salesforce, Intacct) View full review »
