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."
"Scalability is great, especially with cloud-based solutions, because it makes the product very portable and users can access it on tablets, smartphones, and whatever device they have."
"The most valuable features are the resource management, project management, and tracking time for our employees."
"​It is very intuitive. Even if you do not have training documents or anything, you can start feeling your way around pretty easily."
"The app style of the new UI is absolutely fantastic. It's the right way to go. Our users will love it."
"The benefit is using the Capacity Demand Model. We can use it to forecast and see the future trends for resource allocations and demands."
"Basically, it keeps us on track financially."
"For this price and for our use of the tool, this is an effective enterprise solution."
"It definitely gives us a way to group and manage our projects across the entire organization, as well as track time of resources so we can use that within our capitalization efforts."
 

Cons

"Better integration with other corporate finance systems would be an advantage."
"The product's stability needs improvement."
"​Maybe we need to bring some financial executive reports to our directors and executives. Maybe we can improve the use of Jaspersoft.​"
"Reporting has been an issue for us, so what I would consider a fundamental report that links financials to actuals."
"The Latin American support could be better due to the language barrier."
"Ease of use, the user experience has been our biggest obstacle to overcome."
"It should be integrated with CA Service Desk Manager so that, when you have time for a ticket or when someone gets assigned a ticket, in PPM it automatically shows that they have to account for that: that they would both enter time in the past and, also, that this is going to take them time in the future."
"Up to version 12.x the GUI was still Web 1.0, and although it has been redesigned with release 13.x-14.x it is bit behind other solutions."
"As far as a tool that communicates with resources, with individuals - what they're supposed to do next or what action items came out of what meeting - it's not really used that way. Probably I could envision a way that it would be used that way. Until it's as easy as sending an email, it probably won't be utilized by the resources in that manner."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"The price of Broadcom Clarity PPM is reasonable. My customers pay a license to use this solution on an annual basis."
"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."
"Pricing is flexible, depending on the customer and the region."
"The subscription is not that expensive."
"Better understanding of requirements and how it will be implemented (with number of licenses for a given budget) would help."
"In recent times, I have been involved in the purchase of the license for this solution. However, the process of procurement changed and the option to buy individual licenses was no more available. The new subscription model was introduced, as a followed-up trend in the industry. The subscription costs put us in shock because it was double what we paid in the past as the yearly maintenance. We negotiated and the price was dropped. But this incident made me observe a lack of transparency from Broadcom in terms of licensing expenses. This isn't unique to Broadcom but seems to be a broader industry issue."
"We're also moving to the latest version for less than $20,000 for a major corporate system. It's just amazing."
