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,…

End-to-end project management capabilities and offers seamless vendor and client contract alignment
The system is old, so there are several issues that arise when we fetch data from integrated systems. Sometimes the data gets stuck, and there are instances where we need to access multiple pieces of information simultaneously. This creates problems that I have personally experienced. Therefore, these aspects need to be much more free-flowing and seamless. If something gets stuck, it takes time to resolve, and during the contract phase, we have Service Level Agreements (SLAs). If those SLAs are breached, it becomes problematic. Given that there are approximately 3000 projects running concurrently worldwide, utilizing the system with a vast database and numerous activities taking place. It could benefit from decentralization. Currently, it operates as a central system, but if it could be centralized for specific subsidiaries, it would be easier for us to manage.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Overall it’s a very good, powerful product."
"CA PPM gave them the ability to automate approval processes, manage the project life-cycle in a central tool, fill time-sheets against the projects and provide reports to executives, helping them reduce their effort in terms of cost and time involved."
"These features are useful in better organizing projects and resources for the PMO in our organization, and reporting is helpful in seeing a clear picture of project health at the project and portfolio level so that practitioners make informed decisions."
"I love technical support; I love them, they're awesome."
"The most valuable features are time compliance, capacity and demand, and resource management; knowing who is allocated to what task, what projects, what activities, and if they're on track or not."
"The ability to have all of the data in one place from risks and issues to resource capacity and actual utilization is going to be really beneficial to our users."
"The benefit is using the Capacity Demand Model. We can use it to forecast and see the future trends for resource allocations and demands."
"​It is very intuitive. Even if you do not have training documents or anything, you can start feeling your way around pretty easily."
"It improves productivity, cash flow management, and inventory control for clients."
"With SAP Portfolio and Project Management we were able to have a full track of project progress and get useful insights about our projects."
"The integration portion with SAP models is valuable."
"The stability is good, and I have nothing bad to say about it."
"SAP is gradually introducing more flexibility and customization options to the system, allowing users to adapt it to their specific needs."
"The SAP PPM software is a very complete solution."
 

Cons

"There should be the improvement in their strategy to align the organization with the Portfolio Management section."
"The few times that we've tried putting it in production, it hasn't been that stable."
"In terms of what could be improved, the end user interface could be improved to be more intuitive, because we sometimes have issues with customization. Sometimes we are not able to customize everything for the end user's interface, and they require more customization. We should be able to perform a deeper customization here."
"In the future, I would like to see integrated Agile features and better integration with Agile tools."
"In terms of scalability, it is a little bit slow."
"They've really failed to innovate on the user-interface perspective."
"Overall portfolio management is something that we would like to improve on."
"While Clarity is highly customizable, it could be better delivered as an agile solution out of the box."
"It would be valuable if SAP integrated seamlessly with some products like Jira and Bitbucket."
"The system is old, so there are several issues that arise when we fetch data from integrated systems. Sometimes the data gets stuck, and there are instances where we need to access multiple pieces of information simultaneously."
"The platform's support structure needs improvement."
"The product itself could have an advanced analytics layer with an improved user interface that is adapted to the new digital era."
"The initial support package of version 5.0 has some setup difficulties."
 

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."
"The price of Broadcom Clarity PPM is reasonable. My customers pay a license to use this solution on an annual basis."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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 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."
"The product pricing varies based on whether the client is new or existing and the complexity of their business processes."
