We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The linking of PI Objectives with different features was one of the cool things. It had features, epics, and stories out of the box."

More AgileCraft Pros →

"The reporting tools are superior to what was there before, which was someone crunching through an Excel spreadsheet. I've been able to do status reports through the projects, which has given visibility to my manager, and that's an improvement.""The app style of the new UI is absolutely fantastic. It's the right way to go. Our users will love it.""The interfaces for project management, portfolio management, and reporting services are always helpful.""The ability to have all of the data in one place from risks and issues to resource capacity and actual utilization.""Allows us to track all of a project's elements in one database.""Provides transparency through your investment portfolios at the top-level financial all the way down to the work that drives delivery.""You can identify resources by roles.""Provides an overall picture, it gives you the ability to store your capex, capital and expense budgets, on projects."

Cons
"It should just have the integration with Jira. We haven't looked at it since Atlassian bought the product."

More AgileCraft Cons →

"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.""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.""Needs Gantt to MS Project link.""​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 could improve by adding advanced reporting in the tool. There are a lot of out-of-the-box reports, but I would like to see more advanced reporting.""One of the things that have always been a bit painful is the integration with reporting utilities. The current integration is with Jaspersoft, and there are a number of difficulties with that. If you're using out-of-the-box fields and everything, it is a bit slow and clunky. It has a drag-and-drop interface for the users. On the backend side, there is a report designer. They haven't given or allowed me any training on it yet. So, it has been a bit limited in its features. On one of the earlier report utilities, they had one called Actuate, which had VBA as its base programming language, and you could do quite dynamic things behind the scenes, whereas the Jaspersoft interface seems rather locked. So, you're limited in your options. Being a programmer, you like to have room to be able to invent and create rather than just being limited to a few selection boxes.""In the next release, I would like to have a little bit more functionality on chatbots in Clarity PPM, especially for support requests, such as for the most commonly used support tickets that people could resolve themselves.""One of the areas that we would improve upon is not necessarily with the tool, but having more tips/tricks on adoption. How to get people outside of the PMO to use the tool and get the information."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "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."
