Efficient project management with roadmap and hierarchy features
I use Broadcom Clarity for end-to-end project and program portfolio management Every customer has achieved a return on investment within the first six months of implementation with Broadcom Clarity. The most valuable features of Broadcom Clarity are the roadmap feature and the hierarchy feature,…

User-friendly, offers a wide range of functions, and enhances collaboration within teams
We use ClickUp's pro solution for team project management. We divide our projects into multiple sprints and organize tasks accordingly. I have created a personal space within ClickUp where I oversee the development and design teams, each with its sections for tasks and stages of progress. This setup helps keep everything organized and ensures smooth collaboration across departments. ClickUp can optimize workflow by integrating with developer tools like Git, allowing seamless access to modules and enhancing collaboration. While I primarily use it for tracking team progress and roadmaps, integration with Git would greatly benefit developers who spend more time within ClickUp. Overall, I would rate ClickUp as a nine out of ten. I would recommend it to others.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"What has been valuable are the workflows that are there today in order to keep our executive staff informed as well as our program managers and department managers."
"The most valuable feature is the portfolio functionality because we have the ability to work with different scenarios and many kinds of financial management. We can integrate with ERP, and with other solutions from third-party vendors. The financial model in Broadcom Clarity PPM, it's the most valuable aspect."
"The interfaces for project management, portfolio management, and reporting services are always helpful."
"It is very stable. We are on demand. With on demand, those guys keep it running."
"Transparency and just having the ability to procure information that is pertinent."
"The initial setup was easy."
"It is allowing us to keep track of what our projects are doing, and the idea module, what projects are coming into the pipeline."
"It has improved communication vertically, with some amount of data to be able to show that more resources are necessary, or why projects aren't moving as fast as management would like. That sort of communication makes my job a lot easier."
"It is a scalable solution. I would rate it a ten out of ten."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"We found it very simple and intuitive to use...The initial setup is straightforward."
"The tool is pretty intuitive."
"ClickUp optimizes task assignments with its user-friendly interface and plethora of options."
"ClickUp offers a relatively user-friendly experience, especially when it comes to its fundamental features."
"The product has an efficient design."
"We can update tasks and track projects."
 

Cons

"We use a product called TFS and we would definitely like to see integration with that. It's not there right now. Agile Central is the one that is integrated with."
"The look and the feel of 14.4 is a bit antiquated."
"A little bit better financial management. Right now it is more accountant-related, the financial management - of course, it's finance, it has to be financial. But it should be a little bit easier for project managers."
"The forms (e.g., project properties page) need to be more attractive, colorful, and field more flexibility for validations."
"The classic UI is very cumbersome. It can do everything but it's hard to use. It's easy to use once you understand it, but it's intimidating at first for somebody to see the solution."
"​Maybe we need to bring some financial executive reports to our directors and executives. Maybe we can improve the use of Jaspersoft.​"
"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 would like to see more team-based management, and less people-based management; as far as the resource management goes, to do it per team and not per person."
"ClickUp could improve by streamlining its functions and organizing them better for easier access."
"The cloud-based solution can get bugs in it occasionally, causing latency and loading issues."
"It would be good if the solution facilitated voice calls or an option to chat directly with a person on ClickUp."
"There is a need for significant improvement in the user interface to make it more intuitive and less time-consuming to become familiar with."
"ClickUp can improve the UI for mobile devices. For example, they are lacking some features in the Android version, such as Gantt charts."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"Introducing automation and AI would greatly benefit ClickUp by reducing manual work."
"More automation features must be added."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"The subscription is not that expensive."
"The price of Broadcom Clarity PPM is reasonable. My customers pay a license to use this solution on an annual basis."
"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."
"The licensing costs are a little bit high, and unfortunately, it has been a while since I've had that paperwork in front of me. I don't remember how much it was, but it seemed like it was fairly high. It is probably comparable to some of the other solutions because I do know that, for example, on a lot of the AWS stuff, they found that the costs wound up being higher than having some on-prem solution. Comparatively, Clarity is within the price range of other solutions."
"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."
"ClickUp’s pricing is better than Jira Align’s."
"The price of ClickUp is reasonable. The price is approximately eight dollars per month per person."
"This solution costs $20 per user per month. If you have 20 users, you would pay $400 per month. There are no hidden fees that we are aware of."
"It's very affordable."
"The product is expensive."
"The product’s cost is high."
"ClickUp is affordable."
"I use the free version."
