Broad perspective on strategic management exists but integration challenges hinder efficiency
The product execution part, such as planning and executing, is done through Atlassian tools, specifically Jira. We wanted to upgrade our ability to understand how all these products and teams are working against strategic goals, tracking expenses and time, but the integration between Broadcom Clarity and Atlassian Jira is very cumbersome and not straightforward. Their integration, even with ConnectALL, is just adequate, but it's never going to be great because they are actively trying to sell Rally. To make Broadcom Clarity a perfect product, I think with Jira, nothing can be done. To be fair, I don't know exactly how Rally integration works as I've only read about it, but I know that in marketing papers, it seems amazing with full-on integration, whereas with Jira, it just doesn't work that effectively.

A highly scalable tool that offers users the ability to use it for international projects
The most valuable feature of the solution is the functionality that it offers since the performance part is not so critical as you only use it to upload or download documents and create tasks. Celoxis is not used for very high transaction requirements. My company did not face any issues with Celoxis's performance. Celoxis was quite quick, and its functionality was rich, prompting my company to integrate it with many other project management features for which we previously used several other systems. Celoxis replaced and offered a product that was an integration of Excel and Microsoft Project into a single suite.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features are the resource management, project management, and tracking time for our employees."
"Just the capability of it is really blowing my mind so far."
"This solution has brought our groups a lot closer together and allowed them to communicate much easier rather than using emails and spreadsheets."
"Overall it’s a very good, powerful product."
"We really like being able to use the SaaS solution so that CA is managing everything except the actual data capture and generating reports."
"I love the fact that it is very flexible. I am the lead engineer with enhancements, development, developing new portlets, anything that has to be added on, and integrating data, such as ETL processing."
"Support and the transition from our old system to this, they made it go very smoothly."
"It has highlighted areas in our company that were deficient in resources, allowed us to hire, and helped us realize more benefits regarding the number of projects we can get done."
"Celoxis is scalable in terms of the number of users or the number of projects that the product can handle. Even the storage that is available for a project is scalable in Celoxis."
 

Cons

"Some people have expressed interest in how we are doing the time tracking stuff because we have a separate time tracking system, and then within TFS we also track hours and our effort levels there."
"One of the major pain points for me when it comes to Broadcom Clarity PPM is the new UI."
"Setup could be made easier."
"The provided reporting tool is inadequate. Structured reports are too difficult."
"Another major concern I see is usability. Many users I've worked with, including myself, feel that the application could improve in terms of user-friendliness."
"Sometimes we want to do something but we are stuck because Clarity doesn't allow you to do it."
"Build more capability and unification into the reporting.​"
"The architecture must be improved."
"One feature in Celoxis that is quite hard to understand and set up is its access management part."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The subscription is not that expensive."
"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."
"We're also moving to the latest version for less than $20,000 for a major corporate system. It's just amazing."
"The price of Broadcom Clarity PPM is reasonable. My customers pay a license to use this solution on an annual basis."
"The licensing costs are a little bit high, and unfortunately, it has been a while since I've had that paperwork in front of me. I don't remember how much it was, but it seemed like it was fairly high. It is probably comparable to some of the other solutions because I do know that, for example, on a lot of the AWS stuff, they found that the costs wound up being higher than having some on-prem solution. Comparatively, Clarity is within the price range of other solutions."
"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."
"Better understanding of requirements and how it will be implemented (with number of licenses for a given budget) would help."
"Cost-wise, the tool is very expensive and some tools might be able to cater to 80% of the functionality provided by Broadcom Clarity PPM but are not as expensive."
"Though I am unsure, I guess that my company pays around 20 to 25 USD every month for every user."
