We performed a comparison between Broadcom Clarity and Jira 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."With the new UI, CA is heading in the right direction, and fast. They're adding features, I would say major features, two times a year, which is fast. They're adding features, I would say major features, two times a year, which is fast."
"It is very intuitive. Even if you do not have training documents or anything, you can start feeling your way around pretty easily."
"Visibility to where we are on projects. It tells someone where we are; if we're in trouble or not."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the project, resource, and portfolio management processes are combined in one solution. The data is possible to use either in the one or the other process, and we do not need to enter the data multiple times."
"We just put all the data into one place and hopefully, after we have accurate data, we can make more decisions based on real data rather than gut feeling."
"Provides an overall picture, it gives you the ability to store your capex, capital and expense budgets, on projects."
"Clarity PPM's strongest features are project and resource management."
"The monitoring, flexibility and tracking are really good in Jira."
"The most valuable features are that it is good for tracking the issues and it provides for the usage of Confluence."
"It is very flexible, so we can do pretty much what we want with it."
"I enjoy working with (and can recommend) Jira for a number of reasons. The best features are that it is friendly and provides good visibility. It's to the point and very effective."
"You no longer need to email people. You can mention them right in Jira and have conversations there."
"It's easy to deploy."
"The burndown chart is also helpful when it comes to reporting and allows us to know where we are going, especially during development."
"We use it for capacity planning. We need to gauge and assess whatever is coming to our pipeline and then everything comes to the pipeline, appears as a pic, and then based on that, we create the story points and we take it from there."
"The solution could improve the way the workflow is developed. I think they could be more dynamic because they are in a way static. They're very powerful, but they don't have any interaction with end-users."
"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."
"In the timesheet UX, you can't do things like splitting time, managing overtime versus regular time, very easily. That would be helpful."
"The user interface (UI) needs to be improved. Right now, it's not the best."
"It would be good for them to work on the user interface to make it more interactive."
"The integration needs to be improved with Jaspersoft and Microsoft Project."
"The architecture must be improved."
"The risks issues and changes are not in the new UX yet."
"One major issue that I, and even our business stakeholders, have noticed is related to Epic Link. When Epic Link's background color is a dark color, it effectively becomes unreadable. I wish there was a way for us to change the text color of Epic Link in the Issue Navigator view."
"The user interface is very detailed right now. It could be simplified if they consider targeting the user experience."
"I want the tool to integrate connectors."
"Sometimes the solution doesn't communicate well with other platforms. It's quite difficult to integrate things and make the data flow from A to B, to Jira, and then back to other areas."
"Users can be confused about how to use this tool as it's very complex."
"Out-of-the-box reporting is limited. It would be helpful if more customisation was possible."
"The part when it comes to the testing area is a bit hard to handle. The screen is too small, you can't really read what you're typing in, and it's only for the testing area. It looks like they have pressed in more than the UI system could handle to display it properly."
"The reporting capabilities, specifically customized reports, should be improved. The out-of-box reports don't meet our needs. We are big into customizing our reports, and being able to do ad hoc reporting would be good."
