We performed a comparison between Asana and Broadcom Clarity based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Project Management Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I really enjoy the portfolios in Asana. One of the ways Asana stands out to me is with portfolios. You can have all your different projects, and you can have those assigned to different teams. If you want to customize a grouping of projects, you can use portfolios. For instance, one of the things that we do is we can assign a portfolio to a specific strategic objective we have, and we can put all those projects that are related to that strategic objective in that portfolio. We then know exactly what people are working on to help us achieve our goals. So, I really like portfolios."
"The only thing I love about the product is that it is beautiful."
"The tool has a lot of integrations."
"The most valuable feature of Asana is the ease of navigation."
"It is pretty comprehensive when it comes to the different views that it gives you. It gives you a Gantt chart view, calendar view, board view, and list view. It is kind of helpful to have different types of views and see how it views your different tasks. I appreciate being able to do that. The biggest thing is that it is extremely user friendly. Asana is pretty intuitive. Someone who is not tech-savvy can kind of catch on quickly. It is better than other tools like Smartsheet. Some of the other tools like Microsoft Project and Excel are great tools, but you have to invest a lot of time to learn them, which is not the case with Asana."
"The general UI shows progress and data analytics for all projects in progress."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its project management tracking systems."
"It is very good for managing the timeline. I'm a quality manager, and I have different testing projects running with different work breakdown structures. Asana makes it very easy to implement and monitor the plans. It is easy to move the tasks and complete them, break them down, and assign them to people."
"Broadcom Clarity PPM's most valuable feature is the plenty of modules, such as portfolio, project, resource, and time."
"Right now, it's the PPM piece of it, the scheduling, the Gantt, the task view."
"Having information all together in one single source."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is the XFlow, that interface is pretty cool."
"The interfaces for project management, portfolio management, and reporting services are always helpful."
"it creates visibility across our whole organization. People that were often left in the dark wondering what was happening with projects. Now have an easy solution to see all the information they want to see across the whole portfolio."
"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."
"Allows us to track all of a project's elements in one database."
"More features can be added."
"We'd like the capability to be able to set up weekly reminders."
"It's hard to integrate Asana into other parts of the company workflow, so integration is an area for improvement."
"On the development side for technical project management, Asana is missing features. We only use it for discussing tasks and strategies, and we use it for customer to-do lists. It doesn't have the source code integration that Jira and Jira Service Desk both have."
"The documentation could be enhanced by incorporating more visually informative videos that demonstrate how to accomplish specific tasks. While Asana's community support is valuable for answering questions, finding precise answers often requires sifting through multiple posts. Having concise and explanatory videos would greatly improve the user experience. When searching on platforms like Google, there are many individuals sharing their approaches to using Asana. However, the information provided is often not directly applicable to one's specific needs. Therefore, it would be advantageous to have comprehensive video tutorials that address common user queries. This would provide a more efficient and intuitive way of accessing information, especially when it comes to learning how to navigate and utilize Asana's features effectively."
"We have not used Asana on our private server. We have been using the cloud solution. We need an on premise solution for government agencies."
"We don't get enough notifications."
"A user should be able to identify an assignee for specific tasks or task types while applying the template, or at a minimum, allow for a default assignee. As it is, the template gets created with the just task dates driven by the project start and end dates inputted by the user. In my current situation, I'm assigning myself to many tasks, so I have to do that manually every time. Even if I eventually start adding other people to assign tasks, there won't be more than a handful to do. However, those few people will have multiple tasks. It would be nice to be able to select those individuals during the setup rather than having to do so manually once the project has been created."
"The Work Breakdown Structure in the Tasks: I should be able to drag and drop to a level three instead of just stuck at level two."
"They won't let me put a button on the UI."
"Broadcom Clarity PPM should improve how the reports are being generated and contracts management."
"We're looking at adding the Agile piece to it. I want to make sure that that integration is very smooth."
"As far as a tool that communicates with resources, with individuals - what they're supposed to do next or what action items came out of what meeting - it's not really used that way. Probably I could envision a way that it would be used that way. Until it's as easy as sending an email, it probably won't be utilized by the resources in that manner."
"Build more capability and unification into the reporting."
"I am going to be maintaining both new UX screens, which the blueprints make look like it is going to be really easy, but we would still have to be maintaining new UX screens as well as classic views for those functionalities that are not yet available in the new UX."
"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."
