Pros
"The app style of the new UI is absolutely fantastic. It's the right way to go. Our users will love it.""Broadcom Clarity PPM is a high-value product that helps users become productive. It's a very stable, scalable, and fast platform, even from a self management perspective.""It is allowing us to keep track of what our projects are doing, and the idea module, what projects are coming into the pipeline.""Visibility is the number one feature. They can see where the bottlenecks are, they can see what their project statuses are, why are things being held up, etc.""Being able to track all of the projects with all of the details of those projects, and being able to move projects along from a process perspective, that is really beneficial.""It is a scalable, easy-to-deploy, and user-friendly solution for enterprise businesses.""The new UX is great because it has helped remove some of those barriers, so that people who are not classically trained project managers can easily get up to speed in using the tool without having to learn a whole other tool set. It's very intuitive, and very collaborative, and very easy to adapt to their existing work styles.""We are able to track budgets, and with timesheets, actuals against budgets."

"We can easily write down the tasks and reorganize them as well as have a progression index. Wrike offers several views including a kanban view and Gantt chart view.""The product is intuitive. It is easy to learn and update. You can follow the project from the beginning till the end with the help of the solution. The tool helps to update the project in seconds.""The most valuable feature of Wrike is the tag functionality.""It's a very easy-to-use and flexible tool. We can easily write and create queues for different themes. It's very user-friendly.""In our company, we heavily rely on Wrike. Wrike has helped in communication, managing all sorts of projects and tasks, and having a history of all our correspondence items.""This is a good tool for project progress tracking and sharing tasks with internal and external parties.""Visibility and organization are the most valuable features of Wrike.""We utilize time tracking and reports most often."

Cons
"They won't let me put a button on the UI.""Build more capability and unification into the reporting.​""​​I would really like a modern UI. I do not want to get on a user interface and feel like I am in the 1990's.​""Their online documentation is okay. It is not great. It is hard to get to some of the answers to the things that we may be running into, such as use cases that we are trying to fix. So, frequently we have to put in tickets.""There are some tool limitations. We had to create some of our own summary competencies to create more of an agile tool concept, or an agile team concept, that they did not really have.​""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.""Look and feel of the user experience.""The architecture must be improved."

More Broadcom Clarity Cons →

"We feel that the actual project reports and roll-ups could be a lot different. We are seeking something more for the dashboard. We would like a high-level dashboard that can be broken down into individual product roll-ups and tasks that are assigned. If you assign someone to a task, it assigns them all of the tasks under that. We want to be able to break those down so that a person doesn't have an 800 task list, for example. We want more separation with that and a higher-level dashboard experience.""Wrike needs to be more responsive to community requests for new features.""It would be great if they could develop more reporting.""This solution could be improved if we were able to better analyze how the application consumes cloud resources as this can cause a delay in performance.""We faced an issue with the Wrike outlook add-on; it is only available for Microsoft Office 365, and not the on-premise version.""What annoys me with Wrike and things that I would like to improve is that you need to have a very organized workflow that everyone in the company follows, and only then will Wrike work.""The product needs to send direct emails to customers updating the latest aspects since it is better to hear directly.""The response from the website is a little bit slow, and the tool is too expensive for a small team."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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."
  • More Broadcom Clarity Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Wrike is not so expensive, but I don't know exactly how it compares with other tools. Wrike might not be so cheap when we are using it for a lot of users."
  • "From a pricing perspective, I would rate Wrike a four out of five."
  • "Wrike is expensive."
  • "Wrike is very expensive, and its price is almost $1,400."
