Find out in this report how the two Project Portfolio Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."You can identify resources by roles."
"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."
"Broadcom Clarity PPM is robust and flexible, and all the functionality sets are in one place."
"Demand, Resource, Project Portfolio Management, for my business consulting services, PMO services to other clients."
"Right now, it's the PPM piece of it, the scheduling, the Gantt, the task view."
"It's pretty much the source of "the truth." Everything is together, everyone can see all the resources, financial projects, how long a project's going to take. Anybody can go in there and see any information they need about the organization as a whole."
"It's very good out of the box, without configurations required."
"The product is flexible."
"The solution is scalable and easy to expand."
"The key things are managing interactions, resource allocation, resource-leveling (enterprise) and as a collaborative tool, because we use it across multiple projects at a time."
"I like the way you can build the schedule by the Don't Start Before or Don't Start After values. You can use it to build your schedule based on how you change your dates. This is how it actually builds the schedule."
"We are able to know what we are doing, how much we have spent, how much time we've taken, and it tells us how much money is left for the project. It also tells us whether we are below or above our expenditures, whether we are below or above our budget."
"The solution, overall, is excellent for project planning."
"The most valuable features are the gantt charts. It's easy to use for me."
"Technical support is good."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is stable to use, especially since I work with Microsoft for an extended period."
"they could improve the mobile app. I think right now it only offers time sheet. If they can integrate a lot of other components into it I think that would be helpful for the users."
"The only real improvement from my side - I'm spoiled by things like Trello, with the very easy user interface, things like Basecamp - it's very much a static software project. If I was to focus on something it would be that user interface; making that something that is a joy to use, instead of something that feels like data entry."
"I wish patches would be quicker since we're a SaaS customer, and just be a non-event, so we don't have to go through a whole - essentially - upgrade cycle, just to do a patch. As a SaaS customer, I'd like the patch to just happen."
"I think user-friendliness is the key. Right now it's really clunky. We're also looking to upgrade, but an upgrade is not going to fix everything. The new UX is good, but there are still a lot of limitations. Once they work through those kinks and get those limitations removed, we'll be able to upgrade."
"We see it as overhead. Let us collect all the data in one place. Which, it is always nice to have everything in one place, but it does cause that overhead."
"The Broadcom Clarity PPM dashboard needs improvement , because it's too slow. The look and feel of the platform, including its UX, also need some enhancement."
"The architecture must be improved."
"Maybe we need to bring some financial executive reports to our directors and executives. Maybe we can improve the use of Jaspersoft."
"The cost could be lower."
"The price of the product must be improved."
"The solution could have more compact dashboards, such as one finds with Planview."
"The product is difficult to use for complex projects."
"Project Server could be improved by simplifying how tasks are assigned and reviewed on a daily basis."
"Work needs to be done on collaboration with SharePoint."
"When a lot of users logged onto the site, it took a big toll on the service. Therefore, there is a scalability issue."
"This is a good product but we have struggled with stability from time to time. The service has stopped intermittently and it has been difficult to find a reason why."
