Comparison Buyer's Guide

Executive Summary

Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
4.8
Broadcom Clarity enhances planning and financial management, showing noticeable ROI improvements in six months despite integration challenges.
Sentiment score
1.0
Planisware is highly valued in pharma for project management, though opinions differ on its financial benefits and effectiveness.
Sentiment score
7.3
Organizations report significant financial gains and improved project management efficiency with Planview PPM Pro, despite ongoing optimization efforts.
It is primarily used for the pharma vertical and related fields, and since we were running a full ERP digital transformation project in the life sciences domain, it suited that requirement very well.
Sometimes I feel that the ROI is not optimal because we are totally dependent on Planisware's system stability.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.7
Broadcom Clarity's customer service is praised for escalation and support but criticized for slow response and inconsistent documentation.
Sentiment score
2.8
Planisware's customer service is enthusiastic yet dependent on costly advanced support, with some feedback noting varied response accuracy.
Sentiment score
7.3
Planview PPM Pro's customer service is generally helpful, but experiences vary with responsiveness, offshore support, and complex issue resolution.
Customers receive 24/7 support as long as they have a license.
The support was good, but there's more space for collaboration that we can do internally through Planisware, which was not the case.
We experienced a couple of issues, and they responded and resolved the issues and bugs promptly.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.7
Broadcom Clarity adapts well to varying user scales, though some experience challenges with specific versions and complex integrations.
Sentiment score
4.9
Planisware offers stable scalability on resourceful servers, with customization on-premises and strategic modifications for extensive user environments.
Sentiment score
7.0
Planview PPM Pro offers scalability, effective mostly for SMEs, but faces challenges with large organizations and real-time global usage.
We have customers ranging from 50 users to 100 to 200,000 users.
The scalability of Planisware is good, as when you want to implement changes, you need to manage the process with your collaborators.
We experienced crashes in the upcoming year, but these mostly occurred on weekends, which minimized the impact on our users.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.5
Broadcom Clarity offers high availability and reliability, though occasional performance issues occur, particularly during peak times and setup complexities.
Sentiment score
6.4
Planisware, especially in SaaS, is stable and reliable, with minor bugs, and praised by companies like Pepsico and Ford.
Sentiment score
7.7
Planview PPM Pro is stable but faces occasional update disruptions, with most users praising its reliability and customer support.
They have made significant improvements, but still, there is a long way to go in terms of their flexibility, adaptability, and usability.
Sometimes the ROI is affected because we are totally dependent on Planisware's system stability.
 

Room For Improvement

Broadcom Clarity requires UI, mobile improvements, simpler reporting, better integrations, resource efficiency, and enhanced analytics and training.
Planisware needs enhancements in integration, UI/UX, reporting, accessibility, stability, collaboration, flexibility, and third-party system integration.
Planview PPM Pro requires improvements in reporting, integration, interface, resource management, and lacks efficient "What If" planning capabilities.
We are having difficulty using the Broadcom mobile application, which is not compatible with our network and inflow settings.
Broadcom Clarity could improve by adding artificial intelligence and reporting capabilities.
The integrations to Agile are essential; we had to do a full build to accomplish that.
We have experienced crashes in Planisware and system slowdowns.
The reports should be improved because all companies now need reporting, and with tools such as Grafana or Tableau, Planisware needs to add interfaces for data lakes since all companies require this.
 

Setup Cost

Broadcom Clarity's pricing is high yet competitive, with varied licenses, bulk discounts, and justified costs for its capabilities.
Planisware is a costly tool with licensing, setup, support, and training expenses, requiring strategic management commitment.
Planview PPM Pro's flexible licensing offers value for large organizations, though costs can be high for smaller entities.
The least price works out to about fifty dollars per month per user.
 

Valuable Features

Broadcom Clarity boosts transparency, efficiency, and flexibility in project management, enhancing decision-making with user-friendly design and comprehensive features.
Planisware provides robust project management with resource planning, data integration, Agile support, and built-in BI tools for enhanced decision-making.
Planview PPM Pro excels in reporting, customization, integration, and resource management, enhancing visibility, planning, and decision-making capabilities.
The most valuable features of Broadcom Clarity are the roadmap feature and the hierarchy feature, which allow rolling up all the projects into programs and portfolios.
The valuable feature is the portfolio management, which includes project management and status reporting, managing the projects and programs at a portfolio level.
The tools communicate with other tools, making it effective, and when we have a new resource, we can add it and send it to the resource management team, who can view it in Planisware.

Efficient project management and resource allocation, but agile capabilities need improvement
One drawback with Planisware is that it doesn't have good features for test management or agile; it lacks many concepts in agile such as retrospective, velocity planning, and backlog view. Some features are still missing because they have introduced these agile modules only in version seven and are still improving that product, so I see a good roadmap on those modules from Planisware's end. I find Planisware's collaboration tools to be good but not great as they still have certain restrictions. It can interact with Jira, it can interact with ADO, and you can have APIs created to interact with your internal HR systems or other systems for data flow. However, the error messages or fail scenarios don't provide good visibility of what is happening, why errors occur, or why something is not working. Regarding scenario planning, I haven't explored much on that side. We have the strategic module, strategic planning module, but we haven't explored much on the other side, so I don't have much experience or exposure to scenario planning.

Needs to improve roadmap, scalability and communication
The product feels like a toy. The tool needs to improve its roadmap. It needs to improve things on a project management level which includes communication as well.  I am working with the product for two to three years.  The product is not scalable. We have around 15-20 users for the product.  My…
