We performed a comparison between Adobe Workfront, Broadcom Clarity , and Jira based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about monday.com, Microsoft, Asana and others in Project Management Software."I can say it is a powerful tool. We have everything in-house in that tool, like, creating reports, dashboards, creating various workflows, and everything we have inside one application."
"I also like Workfront's integration. The solution integrates natively with other systems. It's easy to connect Workfront to any product that has a customer service database, such as a CRM or service ticket management solution."
"The tool is very user-friendly."
"Feature-wise, I would say that its overall ability to be infinitely customizable is valuable...My experience with the support team has been amazing."
"The solution is stable."
"The intake feature is the most valuable in Workfront."
"Workfront is innovative and these were plenty of features that I found valuable while working at Logitech. Workfront had this feature of Project Schedule Templatization. This saves time and effort and even leads to the standardization of processes that are well-assorted. The Intelligent Graphical Interfaces of Workfront allow one to look at a specific type of resource and a specific phase for a specific family of products. You can get quite granular with the data and even zoom in or out of the timeline. It also categorizes projects according to classes and portfolios so that over time, you can more easily understand what are the various metrics involved in producing a specific portfolio Another important feature is Workfront allowing you to validate milestones and investigate the project. This also helped me to understand which projects are performing well and whether it was beneficial to invest in the same. The IT and the app configuration is quite secure and it is one of the benefits. One more valuable feature is the integration of communication systems inside Workfront. This helps you differentiate between normal business emails and project-specific conversations. This is also known as ‘queues’ and I absolutely find this feature extremely powerful."
"Monitoring the progress of projects and tasks is very effective."
"It is allowing us to keep track of what our projects are doing, and the idea module, what projects are coming into the pipeline."
"The solution is technically fine and user friendly."
"Broadcom Clarity PPM's most valuable feature is the plenty of modules, such as portfolio, project, resource, and time."
"The product is flexible."
"We have a centralized view that we can have in our delivery and business organizations."
"Broadcom Clarity PPM is robust and flexible, and all the functionality sets are in one place."
"Right now, it's the PPM piece of it, the scheduling, the Gantt, the task view."
"Having information all together in one single source."
"This solution assists us with being able to quickly and easily start sprints and keep accurate track of them, including billing using a time-tracking add-on."
"Transparency of development projects, as well as approval processes for some business projects, has improved massively."
"It's easy to escalate the issues to the product development team."
"The monitoring, flexibility and tracking are really good in Jira."
"It's flexible and it can provide a lot of different options, such as dashboards, that you can create and manage."
"Its integration with Bitbucket, Confluence, and other things is most valuable."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"The UI is good. It's simple and not very complicated. It's very good for tracking."
"We were having some difficulties creating different kinds of reports and dashboards."
"The interface can also be customized to fit and accept many tools for better performance and customer service improvement."
"Sometimes there are glitches when we are reviewing an interactive proof."
"Workfront's reporting capabilities must be improved."
"The solution's visualization feature could be user-friendly."
"I have used the product and instantiated it, almost seven years back. The process was fairly complex, however, I don't know if they have changed the same now. But this is something I think, if not addressed can be improved. Another area that needs a little attention, is the change of implementation lead. Back when we had Workfront instantiated, we often had our timeline delayed due to the change in the implementation lead. Now Workfront is under Adobe and, in case, this issue, isn't fixed it should be given due attention. Also, Workfront is a universal tool, which can pose a difficulty for small businesses and companies, who don't have the required time, effort, and knowledge to configure it periodically."
"I would say that the stability, honestly, has gone down since the Adobe acquisition, and the quality when they roll out their updates."
"Our product and graphic designers are working with various Adobe products, but Workfront has a no-frills interface. It's a useful tool with everything we need, but it could be a little more attractive and present information in a polished way. It's a web interface, so it's accessible, but the appearance could be a little slicker."
"Broadcom Clarity PPM could improve by adding advanced reporting in the tool. There are a lot of out-of-the-box reports, but I would like to see more advanced reporting."
"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."
"I would like to see more team-based management, and less people-based management; as far as the resource management goes, to do it per team and not per person."
"I'd like to see blueprints. I'd also like to see the user interface simplified, and to have a lot of templates available on each blueprint."
"I think there's still a little bit of opportunity that we can do some stuff better in relation to the financial part of it; just that easier integration, that look and feel. Our project managers, and obviously finance people, love to interface and use of Excel. The more we can get CA PPM to behave in a similar way, which we're already starting to gain in that path, will be absolutely fantastic."
"There is a lack of seamless integration with industry standard products."
"The architecture must be improved."
"When we upgraded to 15.1, we had some challenges around Jaspersoft, and also some issues with supporting some of the complex process work flows that we had designed internally, that were affected by some changes in the process engine."
"The tool should improve its pricing."
"I am not sure if Jira can be integrated with our ERP. We have our ERP for the cost estimates or measurements. It would be nice if we can check or view a plan with the real cost. Currently, we have to do a double check of costs. It would be better to be able to integrate it with Jira."
"The solution needs more integrations with Azure DevOps OnPrem."
"In JIRA, it's a bit complex in terms of what advanced search queries we use. Sharing them is also a problem. Because TFS is on the cloud, we can easily save that query and share it with our team members."
"If they want Jira to be the one-stop shop of the view of all of your deliverables, not just from a defect tracking perspective, but also from a requirement perspective, a code perspective, and a testing perspective, it needs to pull out more data and work better as an integration tool."
"I do know the initial setup was pretty complicated. The user interface could be better organized and easier. "
"In Jira Cloud, integration with Excel is missing. Previously, I could import our Excel files into Jira, and I could also download a big Jira report in the Excel format, but now, it needs to be manipulated after that, which is not good. It looks like they've done that on purpose, but I don't understand the reason for it."
"If CI/CD is integrated with it, it would be better. I've used Azure DevOps before, and it's nice to have everything, such as CI/CD Repos and other things, integrated. Jira has fewer integrations. Azure DevOps has an easier interface, and it has got everything in one spot. I don't have to jump around in different applications."
