Between Broadcom Clarity PPM, Microsoft Project Server, and Micro Focus PPM, which do PeerSpot users prefer, and why?
In this PPM reviews face-off, IT Project Leaders and Solutions Architects share what their favorite features are in their PPM tool of choice, as well as where they see room for future improvement.
Broadcom Clarity PPM (formerly known as CA PPM)
Valuable Features
Portfolio Functionality
"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."
-- Sergio C., Service Delivery Manager at Syntech
Room for Improvement
Integrations and Updatedness
“The solution is lacking in certain integrations but that's generally the way because each organization has different preferences. I feel like they could be using more updated technology, like EPA and things like that. I think those are the aspects that they might improve because we need to keep up with the times in order to be relevant with the current technology, and with what is happening in the world of technology.”
-- R.U., Software Engineer at a retailer
Microsoft Project Server
Valuable Features
Project Schedule Management
"Project schedule management is very good. Basically, it sits on SharePoint. So, every time we create a project, a new project site is created within that SharePoint environment, which is a very good document repository. It allows us to create issues and risks lists and additional functionality tokeep track of what's going on with projects."
-- David T., Project Manager at a computer software company
Room for Improvement
Visibility
"I'd like it if we could divide out the project calendars. On one project server, we might follow five projects or more at one time, and we'd like to see all of the items at once so that it becomes a long loop, but one where we can identify different projects in tandem and then focus on which we need to at the time. While I only have visibility into one, I'd like to see several at a time."
-- P.K., SAP FI Consultant; Project Management Consultant at a tech services company
Micro Focus Project and Portfolio Management (formerly known as HPE PPM)
Valuable Features
Powerful Workflow
“PPM really has a powerful workflow and form engine that allows us to create workflow complexities and processes. There's a good balance between flexibility and best practice and it generally allows us to implement any kind of requirements a customer might have. It's a good balance of flexibility and functionality for configuration. It's a really powerful tool. I saw the other tools bending, compared to them it's really good."
-- PPM Services Director at a tech services company
Room for Improvement
Strategic and Portfolio Functionality
“On the strategic and portfolio functionality can be a bit more balanced and improved interactions with the other modules.”
-- PPM Services Director at a tech services company
