Find out what your peers are saying about monday.com, Microsoft, Asana and others in Project Management Software."The ability to network informally is great for communicating with colleagues."
"The ease of use is valuable."
"It is allowing us to keep track of what our projects are doing, and the idea module, what projects are coming into the pipeline."
"For a very long time, Broadcom Clarity had not developed the old interface that Broadcom no and we were not able to see any new features on the system because of the older UEX. We switched to the new UX at the end of March and it needs some time for the user to react to the new features. But if overall main features are being talked about, the financial part of Clarity is really appreciated."
"The new UI makes it easier for people to go in there and know what to do. To train people, it's faster, more intuitive."
"Within the SaaS environment (since CA is supporting it), it has been extremely stable and reliable."
"It is easier to use than most other products that are out there."
"We are able to track budgets, and with timesheets, actuals against budgets."
"Provides an overall picture, it gives you the ability to store your capex, capital and expense budgets, on projects."
"It is very intuitive. Even if you do not have training documents or anything, you can start feeling your way around pretty easily."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"The product isn't easy to use. It's not very intuitive."
"Their online documentation is okay. It is not great. It is hard to get to some of the answers to the things that we may be running into, such as use cases that we are trying to fix. So, frequently we have to put in tickets."
"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."
"Needs Gantt to MS Project link."
"One of the limitations would be mapping our current agile processes in the same tool set without obviously integrating to a different type of tool set within the same portfolio."
"One of the major pain points for me when it comes to Broadcom Clarity PPM is the new UI. The new UI is very good in terms of functionality and the drag and draw features, but it's not very responsive. When I say that it's not very responsive, what I mean is that sometimes, the tool is not very user-friendly. For example, a user saves a value on the form, but the tool doesn't give any indication to the user that the value has been saved. Some users are moving from the classic UI to the new UI, and end up getting confused because on the classic UI, when you click "Save", it'll save the information and you'll get an indication that it was saved. With the new UI, it auto saves the information, but it doesn't give an indication in the form of a popup box that "this form has been saved", or any type of message indicating that the information was successfully saved. It's been confusing for users who move to the new UI because of that. The users don't understand when the values are being saved or not being saved, even if there's an auto-save feature in the new UI."
"In the timesheet UX, you can't do things like splitting time, managing overtime versus regular time, very easily. That would be helpful."
"Broadcom Clarity PPM should improve how the reports are being generated and contracts management."
"Maybe we need to bring some financial executive reports to our directors and executives. Maybe we can improve the use of Jaspersoft."
