Tight integration with systems like SAP, Oracle Financials and Siebel
* Tight integration with systems like SAP, Oracle Financials and Siebel * Demand management: It helps in planning methodology used to forecast or predict, plan for and manage the demand for products and services. * Finance planning & analysis: It helps accelerate planning cycles and make decisions based on real-time financial insights. It supports budgeting, forecasting, financial analysis, performance management, and more. These features can help you track and control costs, and tightly align operations with business strategy, and control the allocated or budgeted costs vs. actual and forecasted cost. * Portfolio management: It is one of the very important functions in this space because in my view it is the function that ensures that the portfolio of IT projects, applications and infrastructure are providing cost-effective benefits to the organization. It is the centralized management of the processes, methods, and technologies used by project managers and project management offices to analyze and manage projects.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I believe that the BMC ITBM solution provides valuable information to CIOs and other business heads, and helps them take quick business decisions about how to manage and utilize their resources."
"Provides an overall picture, it gives you the ability to store your capex, capital and expense budgets, on projects."
"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 has best-in-class capacity planning and demand management, role-based, individual-based, team-based, and location-based."
"It allows me to keep track of the projects, residual location, it gives me the ease of getting status reports out, and checking risks and issues."
"Having information altogether in one single source, being able to look at the data across team members, resources, projects and coming up with the algorithms and resources."
"The organization that we contract for, they have centralized visibility into a lot of the different things that they were doing manually before, or on spreadsheets."
"It gives us complete visibility of resource allocation on a global team."
"We have used CA support and they are perfect."
 

Cons

"Better integration with other corporate finance systems would be an advantage."
"We do not have a great level of adoption or voluntary adoption; it seems very much as a top down enforcement type of thing."
"We're looking at adding the Agile piece to it. I want to make sure that that integration is very smooth."
"Intake and demand management functionality could be better."
"Broadcom Clarity PPM has some areas for improvement, particularly its dashboard, because it's too slow."
"The product's stability needs improvement."
"We want to get to know the CR functionality. We want to get a better picture of how to incorporate CR into our regular functionality."
"While I know it is coming in the roadmap, the risks issues and changes on the new UX would be amazing. However, the risks issues and changes are not in the new UX yet."
"Look and feel of the user experience."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"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."
"Pricing is flexible, depending on the customer and the region."
"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."
"The price of Broadcom Clarity PPM is reasonable. My customers pay a license to use this solution on an annual basis."
"The price point of Broadcom Clarity PPM is less than Planisware. If a customer comes to me, and the cost is the main parameter for the selection of a tool, then I'll recommend Broadcom because cost-wise, they are less than other solutions."
"The subscription is not that expensive."
"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."
