Tight integration with systems like SAP, Oracle Financials and Siebel
* Tight integration with systems like SAP, Oracle Financials and Siebel * Demand management: It helps in planning methodology used to forecast or predict, plan for and manage the demand for products and services. * Finance planning & analysis: It helps accelerate planning cycles and make decisions based on real-time financial insights. It supports budgeting, forecasting, financial analysis, performance management, and more. These features can help you track and control costs, and tightly align operations with business strategy, and control the allocated or budgeted costs vs. actual and forecasted cost. * Portfolio management: It is one of the very important functions in this space because in my view it is the function that ensures that the portfolio of IT projects, applications and infrastructure are providing cost-effective benefits to the organization. It is the centralized management of the processes, methods, and technologies used by project managers and project management offices to analyze and manage projects.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I believe that the BMC ITBM solution provides valuable information to CIOs and other business heads, and helps them take quick business decisions about how to manage and utilize their resources."
"It's definitely met and exceeded all our expectations with regards to the tool."
"We just put all the data into one place and hopefully, after we have accurate data, we can make more decisions based on real data rather than gut feeling."
"Right now, it is the project management module; 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 most valuable features of Broadcom Clarity PPM are demand, project, and product management."
"Currently, it is one of the best solutions out there and it has a lot of functionality."
"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 support is excellent and very easy to work with."
"You can find the statistics of the products, share reports, and open boxes. Additionally, its ease of use helps with project management."
 

Cons

"Better integration with other corporate finance systems would be an advantage."
"In the future, I would like to see integrated Agile features and better integration with Agile tools."
"Personally, I think there are some things that could be a little better, particularly regarding response times."
"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."
"​​I would really like a modern UI. I do not want to get on a user interface and feel like I am in the 1990's.​"
"A huge pain-point is the Jaspersoft reporting. Jaspersoft is extremely cumbersome and our end users dislike it, and are frustrated when using the criteria filter because many times the results returned do not match the results in the main system when using the inbuilt searches."
"Stability is fine, but it's not good."
"The solution could improve the way the workflow is developed. I think they could be more dynamic because they are in a way static. They're very powerful, but they don't have any interaction with end-users."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"The price point of Broadcom Clarity PPM is less than Planisware. If a customer comes to me, and the cost is the main parameter for the selection of a tool, then I'll recommend Broadcom because cost-wise, they are less than other solutions."
"Better understanding of requirements and how it will be implemented (with number of licenses for a given budget) would help."
"Pricing is flexible, depending on the customer and the region."
"There are different licensing models with Broadcom Clarity PPM. With the software as a service model, you pay as you go, and if you are on-premises, you can buy a perpetual license and an annual fee for maintenance."
"It is a little bit costly compared to others, but it is mature. Customer should understand this product is geared towards project management, not financial management."
"For all the functionalities of the solution, the price is in the market range, since it is a product which offers governance issues and supports the digital transformation, which is where we will go in the next year."
"It is hard for them to say, "I have a person on my team who is going to be available, I am going to move that task to them". That requires a project management license, it doesn't require a team member license, so the licensing model does not sometimes support the way the business world is going."
