Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It helps all the portfolio managers and the program managers to take stock of the financial situation at the program and portfolio level, because it rolls up all the financials at the product level."
"As a Project and Portfolio management tool, it allows the company to allocate costs based on projects, goals, or strategies, and you can break down costs a lot easier because of the amount of detail you can put into the project."
"Clarity PPM's strongest features are project and resource management."
"They should look at the tool itself because it's a powerful tool, it can do a lot of things, cover a lot of ground quickly, and it can easily be picked up as far as skill sets go."
"It is an improvement over using various Microsoft tools, like just spreadsheets and other things, as it is standardizing and expanding its use for the features that help our company."
"The most valuable part is related to portfolio management in the home menu, where we can add attributes in new and existing pages from the administration section, and in comparison to other PPM tools, these features are clearer in this solution."
"It has been able to collect all the data, and in some ways, provide dashboards of aggregated data. ​"
"It allows us to manage everything, and in terms of business value, its best features are about managing money and financials."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that its workflows are really impressive."
 

Cons

"Broadcom Clarity PPM has some areas for improvement, particularly its dashboard, because it's too slow."
"Overall, technical support has been a challenge."
"They need something so that if we, say, send some sheets to users, or for the scenario where not everybody has access to Clarity, but are part of planning; those people should be able to upload data directly to Clarity."
"Scheduling needs improvement."
"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."
"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."
"The Work Breakdown Structure in the Tasks: I should be able to drag and drop to a level three instead of just stuck at level two."
"The designs provided by Bubble Innovator have certain shortcomings that need improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Broadcom Clarity PPM is reasonable. My customers pay a license to use this solution on an annual basis."
"Better understanding of requirements and how it will be implemented (with number of licenses for a given budget) would help."
"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."
"Broadcom Clarity PPM costs us $500K, and that's only for the installation and kick off within the first year. For each succeeding year, it could cost $200K."
"The subscription is not that expensive."
"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."
"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."
"Since I use Bubble Innovator to create applications for my company's clients, I feel the pricing part of the product is fair."
