Broadcom Clarity Reviews

Product management and time management are the most valuable features for us, as it’s far superior to Microsoft Project, and the others are worse.

It's helped us with holding the staff who use it accountable. If we are tracking time, for example, you can determine whether employees are over/under loaded, etc.

An improvement would be location tracking to see where employees are.

I’ve heard a lot of good things, and for me it’s been fine.

We're small so we've had no problems.

We've never had to use them.

We previously used Microsoft Project, but this is better because our clients are using it as well.

I wasn't involved in the setup.

We were looking for a solution that had good testing space and SOA, and compared it to Microsoft Project.

Check other CA technologies, and see if you can integrate the technologies as they work well together.

Capacity and demand management allows me to know if I have enough resources for all the projects that I have to do. It helps to drive the whole budget of the department.

It allows me to easily keep track of and report costs for the company in order to reach our profit and loss objectives. It’s a good tool to manage capacity and demand which ultimately impacts the profit and loss.

This is the first time I’m using a partition (one installation for the holding company which includes a partition for my company and our sister company). It would be nice to have more configuration options at the partition level. Resources are at the system level and for an administrator, which can become confusing when troubleshooting issues.

We started the implementation last year, and are still doing this.

I have used CA PPM in three separate companies. I have never had an issue with stability. However, I have always used on premise and not SaaS. In general, I’m not a fan of SaaS. If there are stability issues, I know it’s on our end.

I do not have any scalability issues.

Currently, my implementation partner (R2) has only used technical support when we ran into an issue during implementation.

I've always been using this and I wanted to continue. I implemented a Microsoft Project Server at a prior company, and it was not as good. Where I am now, I got to pick so I chose this.

I am currently using a CA Partner (R2) to assist with the implementation.

I look at usability. As a resource, I want to do the least amount of clicks and streamline processes. I have looked at other products, however, CA PPM is the only solution that will keep a managed service provider plan in sync with timesheets when a Project Manager deletes a task that has actuals on it. This was the best feature and a huge selling point for me.

Let your employees understand the benefits of CA PPM and show them how much it will help them to do their work. A tool should be used to make their lives easier and not treated as an annoyance.

It gives us complete visibility of resource allocation on a global team.

It forced the organization to implement standard project management practices.

Make transitions easier to implement, e.g. if a new portfolio comes along, it should be easy to integrate to the existing portfolios.

I've used it for three years.

It's good.

No previous solution was used.

We used a vendor team.

We've not measured it.

We also looked at SAP PPM.

Plan, plan, plan. Make sure you understand your organizational needs and you know the process forward and backwards. The software is just a tool, if you do not understand what you're fixing, there is no way the software will help
