Valuable Features

Broadcom Clarity's most valuable features include comprehensive resource management, project management, and portfolio management. Users value its financial planning, risk management, and integration capabilities. The platform's flexibility and configurability allow organizations to adapt it to their unique needs. Its reporting and dashboard functionalities provide clear insights into project health and resource allocation. Clarity's time tracking and capacity planning features enhance efficiency, offering a unified tool for global teams to manage complex projects effectively.

"Every customer has achieved a return on investment within the first six months of implementation with Broadcom Clarity."
"It has best-in-class capacity planning and demand management, role-based, individual-based, team-based, and location-based."
"I would rate the scalability of the solution as eight out of ten."

Room for Improvement

Broadcom Clarity needs improvements in user interface, reporting capabilities, and mobile compatibility. Users seek enhanced intuitiveness and responsiveness in the UI. Reporting limitations with Jaspersoft are a concern. Integration with tools like Jira and SAP proves challenging. Users desire more flexibility and automation in managing data, better educational resources, and advanced features like artificial intelligence for analytics. There is interest in strengthening agile capabilities and making portfolio features more comprehensive and interactive.

"The integration between Broadcom Clarity and Atlassian Jira is very cumbersome and not straightforward."
"Broadcom Clarity could improve by adding artificial intelligence and reporting capabilities, which they are already working on."
"Stability is fine, but it's not good."

ROI

Customers noted significant business value delivery and cost tracking with Broadcom Clarity, although some expressed difficulties in real-time tracking and manual checks due to faulty Jira integration. Reports indicated achieving measurable returns within six months of implementation and observed improvements in financial planning and project management. Some found usage inefficient at a smaller scale, while others did not assess ROI formally despite its availability. Users are generally progressing well but remain cautious in estimating their returns.

Pricing

Broadcom Clarity pricing is perceived as high, particularly for full licenses essential to maximize system capabilities. Licensing complexity exists, with various models impacting costs based on organizational size and functionality required. Buying in bulk is more cost-effective than individual licensing. While it is more expensive than some competitors, it remains competitive with key market players like SAP PS and Planisware. Customer feedback highlights the value Clarity offers if properly implemented and aligned with organizational needs.

"The subscription is not that expensive."
"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."
"Pricing is flexible, depending on the customer and the region."
