Efficient project management with roadmap and hierarchy features

A powerful tool for managing subscriptions within the organization
It's undoubtedly more complex compared to the initial part. It depends on the requirements. You can't categorically say that HubSpot is only suitable for smaller devices; it's adaptable to various needs. Depending on the requirements, you can have a project completed within as little as six months or as long as a few years. It's a flexible solution that can cater to your specific needs. However, it's essential to start from the beginning, designing the screens and pages within HubSpot. It's somewhat similar to building a website but generally more straightforward to use. You need to input the necessary information based on your specific requirements, and it's not limited to a predefined structure. The team initiates the process with what we term as solution design, but it's more appropriately labeled as enterprise design. This initial phase involves understanding the integration points with other systems and commencing the configuration process. It's essentially the starting point for our analysis. The analysis covers several aspects, including the language requirements, integration tools for interfacing with Java server solutions, and how to effectively use these tools. All these components must seamlessly complement each other. Once the team has everything in place and confirms the tools, they can proceed to elaborate on the specific requirements. The deployment timeline typically ranges from four to six months, specifically for straightforward or standard requirements. However, in the case of a large enterprise organization with numerous legal entities across different countries, each requiring unique interfaces for various purposes, the implementation duration is highly dependent on the specific requirements. It's not feasible to provide a fixed period for such a solution.

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."
"It is technically fine, is very user friendly, and is a good tool, and we get pretty good support from Broadcom as well."
"The most valuable solutions for us are being able to share data across the organization to help use technology to drive our processes."
"We just put all the data into one place and hopefully, after we have accurate data, we can make more decisions based on real data rather than gut feeling."
"The dynamism of the application where you can modify it to fit your needs is valuable. For example, you can create fields, metrics, and measures on the fly. You don't have to be limited to what the out-of-the-box format would be. It allows you to generate fields, metrics, and reports off of that with relative ease."
"The ability to provide transparency through your investment portfolios at the top-level financial all the way down to the work that drives delivery."
"It is a scalable, easy-to-deploy, and user-friendly solution for enterprise businesses."
"It has highlighted areas in our company that were deficient in resources, allowed us to hire, and helped us realize more benefits regarding the number of projects we can get done."
"One notable feature is the "improvement training," which allows you to define groups, facilitate information sharing, enable participant rating, and establish rankings. This enables you to identify which participants are actively engaged and sharing information and which ones are less active."
"SAP JAM has lots of possibilities and my client is using it for very specific matters, like social collaboration."
"Properly done, this software can be a great resource for your employees to stay engaged and connected to each other and to your organization."
"It connects to SAP C4C (Cloud for Customer) and is a very useful collaboration tool for the sales, services, and marketing teams."
"All employees, from the CEO to the warehouse personnel, have access to Jam and contribute to the news feeds and consume content."
 

Cons

"I give the solution an eight out of 10 because I think the classic UX is a little bit clunky."
"Our environment is fairly stable, but it is not as fast as what we'd like."
"It would be good for them to work on the user interface to make it more interactive."
"I think that the solution's usage has been decreased because the solution has a lot of competition right now. For example, ServiceNow is improving the end user interface and the final digital interaction and I think Clarity Service Management is not."
"Needs Gantt to MS Project link."
"You need to get to the right person and that can be challenging."
"​​I would really like a modern UI. I do not want to get on a user interface and feel like I am in the 1990's.​"
"The user interface is a little outdated."
"I'm hopeful for more integrations with SAP JAM in the future."
"Built-in integrations with other SAP products could be better. We use a SAP HCM product as well, but synching data is a tremendous issue."
"Sometimes it's a bit confusing with so many options."
"Both layout and branding could be improved."
"The user interface is still quite rigid."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"There are different licensing models with Broadcom Clarity PPM. With the software as a service model, you pay as you go, and if you are on-premises, you can buy a perpetual license and an annual fee for maintenance."
"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 a little bit costly compared to others, but it is mature. Customer should understand this product is geared towards project management, not financial management."
"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."
"Better understanding of requirements and how it will be implemented (with number of licenses for a given budget) would help."
"Pricing is flexible, depending on the customer and the region."
"The price of Broadcom Clarity PPM is reasonable. My customers pay a license to use this solution on an annual basis."
"You need to pay for additional languages. It is somewhat expensive and the payment frequency can be annual or monthly, depending on the choice. There are no extra costs beyond the standard license and implementation fees."
