Room for Improvement: Broadcom Clarity could enhance its reporting, improve third-party tool integration, and offer a more user-friendly interface. Performance issues at peak times have been noted. Planview Daptiv needs to improve its project planning tools and offer better report customization, along with adding standout features in specific areas for competitive advantage.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Broadcom Clarity's availability in both on-premises and cloud options provides deployment flexibility, though technical support feedback is mixed.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 solution is technically fine and user friendly."

"It has highlighted areas in our company that were deficient in resources. It has allowed us to hire, then realize more benefits regarding the number of projects we can get done."

"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."

"The product is flexible."

"You can identify resources by roles."

"Allows us to track all of a project's elements in one database."

"Broadcom Clarity PPM is robust and flexible, and all the functionality sets are in one place."

More Broadcom Clarity pros

"I like the reporting engine, IBM Cognos, especially the analytics. That's a good tool. It's quite strong on the ideation and capacity-planning side, which is a huge plus."

"Changepoint gives us a view of the project status and needs very clearly, which are things that we used to miss with MS Project and Excel."

"The timekeeping features are great and very helpful."

"The powerful collaboration is definitely the most valuable and the fact that you can adjust flexibility to almost any methodology, and the easy creation of complete new functionalities without programming code."

"It's difficult to pinpoint just one most valuable feature, as there are many features that can be beneficial. For the specific use case of my client's project management office, they found the project management features of the application to be particularly valuable, such as project boards, reporting, and the ability to customize views. Additionally, task management and project scheduling were also highly utilized. However, capacity planning was not used as much as the others, as there was a lack of support from executives to invest in training and implementing it due to a lack of processes in place. The project planning features, dashboard, and reporting capabilities were considered the most valuable."

Cons

"Another major concern I see is usability. Many users I've worked with, including myself, feel that the application could improve in terms of user-friendliness."

"I think user-friendliness is the key. Right now it's really clunky. We're also looking to upgrade, but an upgrade is not going to fix everything. The new UX is good, but there are still a lot of limitations. Once they work through those kinks and get those limitations removed, we'll be able to upgrade."

"They need something so that if we, say, send some sheets to users, or for the scenario where not everybody has access to Clarity, but are part of planning; those people should be able to upload data directly to Clarity."

"I'd like to see blueprints. I'd also like to see the user interface simplified, and to have a lot of templates available on each blueprint."

"Stability is fine, but it's not good."

"The Work Breakdown Structure in the Tasks: I should be able to drag and drop to a level three instead of just stuck at level two."

"Setup could be made easier."

"Needs Gantt to MS Project link."

More Broadcom Clarity cons

"The areas that should be improved in Planview Daptiv are a subject that can be viewed differently depending on who you ask. I feel they should focus on excelling in one specific area rather than providing average capabilities in many areas. For example, their project planning software is satisfactory but not as advanced as Microsoft Projects. The same goes for the capacity planning tool and reporting capabilities, which can be improved upon by using custom Excel spreadsheets or by hiring a business analyst for additional support. In short, the biggest weakness of Daptiv is that it does not excel in any one area and only provides average performance."

"It would also be nice to see some improvements on the IBM Cognos Analytics. There's still work to be done on the analytics side of things, like your condition formality."

"I find the solution has an excessive amount of features. Many aren't even kept current. Some aren't useful at all. There's an overall lack of coherence within the solution. It can make the execution difficult. Many features can easily be eliminated and it would help streamline the solution. They should get rid of 80% of the features and then really focus on the leftover 20% to make it a really great product."

"This solution needs more standard connectors to other solutions."

"Expense management, simulation scenarios, and budget control could be great and useful features to include."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"Better understanding of requirements and how it will be implemented (with number of licenses for a given budget) would help."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"The subscription is not that expensive."

"We're also moving to the latest version for less than $20,000 for a major corporate system. It's just amazing."

More Broadcom Clarity pricing and cost advice

"The licensing is pretty complex. Each kind of user is a different price. It's approximately $300 per year. They charge additional fees for technical support and other additional services."

"It's a yearly license, but it's not an open license. It's based on users and their roles. So your administrator is priced differently from your timesheet user."
