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."Easy to use, visually. The new UX is intuitive."
"The dynamism of the application where you can modify it to fit your needs is valuable. For example, you can create fields, metrics, and measures on the fly. You don't have to be limited to what the out-of-the-box format would be. It allows you to generate fields, metrics, and reports off of that with relative ease."
"Right now, it's the PPM piece of it, the scheduling, the Gantt, the task view."
"Provides transparency through your investment portfolios at the top-level financial all the way down to the work that drives delivery."
"Within the SaaS environment (since CA is supporting it), it has been extremely stable and reliable."
"I enjoy the Risks/Issues section.I use that to raise things before they happen."
"It makes the whole lifecycle of project management a lot easier than using the legacy systems, which we are retiring every few months because of PPM."
"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."
"We use Microsoft Project Server for project management."
"Microsoft Project Server is simple to use."
"This is a scalable solution. It is easy to set up and to add clusters to your environment."
"Technical support is good."
"The solution is stable."
"One notable positive aspect is its effective project-tracking capabilities."
"It is well-established, reliable, and compatible."
"The technical support for Microsoft Project Server and the support is very good. Microsoft support is working very well."
"Whenever that second instance of Clarity came about, it was overwhelming even to people who were accustomed to working with program management tools."
"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."
"There is a lack of seamless integration with industry standard products."
"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."
"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 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."
"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."
"The deployment aspect of the product is a bit tedious."
"There are certain shortcomings in the documentation part where improvements are required."
"The price of the product must be improved."
"It should be more agile and more flexible when it comes to customization."
"Project Server could be improved by simplifying how tasks are assigned and reviewed on a daily basis."
"The price of the solution could be reduced."
"The solution could have more compact dashboards, such as one finds with Planview."
"The reporting aspects can be improved, which is one of the reasons why I'm using Qlik Sense. In the older on-prem versions, reporting was lackluster, to say the least. Project Online has a better handle on that. However, we will still be using Qlik Sense. We're also looking at an add-on app from a company called OnePlan that adds some additional functionality where Microsoft is not as clean in its approach for things such as portfolio management and some of the trends analysis."
