We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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 easier to use than most other products that are out there.""The most valuable features of Broadcom Clarity PPM are demand, project, and product management.""We also have integration with CA Agile Central. So we get all the project-related data and the user stories-related data into it and we report on to that: How much funding is there, and how much are the actuals between these two tools?""Broadcom Clarity PPM is robust and flexible, and all the functionality sets are in one place.""It is very stable. We are on demand. With on demand, those guys keep it running.""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 helps all the portfolio managers and the program managers to take stock of the financial situation at the program and portfolio level, because it rolls up all the financials at the product level."

"There is a huge community to help us with the issues we face while using the product.""We found that the solution was available on multiple devices, has a great user experience, is simple to use, and it is available on multiple channels.""The solution is very user-friendly, where you have everything you need.""The solution is great for project management.""I really enjoy the drag-and-drop feature.""I can see everything on one page, like sticky notes. It's very, very easy to use and very straightforward.""The most valuable feature of Trello stems from the fact of how easy it was with it to see large visual aspects, especially when people were getting their workflow in order.""The most valuable features of the solution are that it is easy to use and flexible while offering the ease of use of drag-and-drop functionality for each task."

Cons
"One of the limitations would be mapping our current agile processes in the same tool set without obviously integrating to a different type of tool set within the same portfolio.​""I would like to see more team-based management, and less people-based management; as far as the resource management goes, to do it per team and not per person.""Portfolio Management Solution for Project Strategizing" What is our primary use case? It is mainly used for project management, developing the portfolio of the project and the budget process of all projects. What is most valuable? For a very long time, Broadcom Clarity had not developed the old interface that Broadcom no and we were not able to see any new features on the system because of the older UEX. We switched to the new UX at the end of March and it needs some time for the user to react to the new features. But if overall main features are being talked about, the financial part of Clarity is really appreciated. What needs improvement? Among things to be improved, Clarity can really work on its SAP interface. The current interface lacks out-of-the-box connectors for different applicators in the system. Therefore, this requires external support, which is beyond our expertise. In-house development is done for the interface, but as the system becomes complex, there is a building need to maintain the necessity of updates. If the updates aren’t maintained, then the system might be compatible. Additionally, the report generation process using a different software poses difficulties, leading to the need for external consultancy to create specific reports. Certain features, also face compatibility issues with our existing system. Despite these limitations, we find the system satisfactory overall, although a learning curve exists, especially for those unfamiliar with its particularities.""​I would like to be able to do time submission and time approvals on mobile rather than have to go in the system.""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.""​​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.​""It would be good for them to work on the user interface to make it more interactive.""We're looking at adding the Agile piece to it. I want to make sure that that integration is very smooth."

More Broadcom Clarity Cons →

"Trello cannot be integrated with other tools like Jira and Google Workspace.""Being able to export reports from Trello, general reports, or board reports, would improve the solution for me as a manager.""Unstructured data cannot be directly used; it needs to be structured first.""It could have a bit more customization, especially for organizations that may want to integrate it into their own systems.""Many more categories could be enabled.""Pricing can be improved.""I would appreciate seeing how much time spend on each specific ticket.""The documentation is not readily accessible. It is difficult to connect with technical support. Additionally, their knowledge base seems limited."

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."

  • "Maybe it would be better if they offered some extra tiers, so you don't have to go all the way up to the pro level."
  • "I use the free version of Trello, which is sufficient for my day to day use."
  • "I am tinkering with the free version."
  • "The free version of Trello covers all of the bases and all of our needs, so there's no cost involved for us. This is surprising for such a quality platform with no limitations on the key functionalities, though it also has a paid version."
  • "Its pricing is good. It is about $6 per license for what we use, but then there are other plans as well, such as $12 a month. I would rate it a nine out of ten in terms of pricing."
  • "The pricing for this solution is reasonable."
  • "We are currently using the open-source option."
  • "Paying for the solution's license is worth it only if our enterprise or organization can use Trello, integrated with some other solution, and we can have good reports."

    Questions from the Community
    Top Answer:The solution can be used for strategic planning. It is also used for portfolio and project management.
    Top Answer:All the features are valuable but the data extraction is extremely helpful for automation.
    Top Answer:Unstructured data cannot be directly used; it needs to be structured first. The recording session works well, but introducing dynamic control can cause glitches and loss of control. To address this… more »
