Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"There were probably about five or six metrics that we used. As a result, the groups that I supported were consistently ranked at the absolute top of the organization, as we were leveraging these built-in tools for tracking.""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.""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.""Demand, Resource, Project Portfolio Management, for my business consulting services, PMO services to other clients.""The app style of the new UI is absolutely fantastic. It's the right way to go. Our users will love it.""The most valuable features of Broadcom Clarity PPM are demand, project, and product management.""It is very stable. We are on demand. With on demand, those guys keep it running.""Provides transparency through your investment portfolios at the top-level financial all the way down to the work that drives delivery."

"The primary uses for this tool are task delegation, generating reports, and on-time invoices.""It increased productivity and timely delivery of projects within a set budget."

More ProProfs Project Pros →

Cons
"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.""I think there's still a little bit of opportunity that we can do some stuff better in relation to the financial part of it; just that easier integration, that look and feel. Our project managers, and obviously finance people, love to interface and use of Excel. The more we can get CA PPM to behave in a similar way, which we're already starting to gain in that path, will be absolutely fantastic.""Setup could be made easier.""The user interface (UI) needs to be improved. Right now, it's not the best.""Reporting is not good as they keep on changing reporting environment.""When we upgraded to 15.1, we had some challenges around Jaspersoft, and also some issues with supporting some of the complex process work flows that we had designed internally, that were affected by some changes in the process engine.""​Maybe we need to bring some financial executive reports to our directors and executives. Maybe we can improve the use of Jaspersoft.​""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.​"

"The timely reminders could be reduced from one mail a day to three mails in a week. This tends to fill up our inboxes a lot."

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."
