We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""Absolutely, the most active community I have ever been on.""Allows us to track all of a project's elements in one database.""Transparency and just having the ability to procure information that is pertinent.""You can identify resources by roles.""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.""Broadcom Clarity PPM is robust and flexible, and all the functionality sets are in one place.""it creates visibility across our whole organization. People that were often left in the dark wondering what was happening with projects. Now have an easy solution to see all the information they want to see across the whole portfolio."

"I am currently exploring ClickUp AI, which I think is very good.""It is a scalable solution. I would rate it a ten out of ten.""The most interesting feature is the ability to share what you are working on with an external entity. The customer has direct visibility on what is being done on a particular project and this provides a lot of transparency.""Everything in one place is the biggest benefit. I also like the diagramming tools, where you can create DFDs, structure charts, and more. That makes things easier.""ClickUp offers a relatively user-friendly experience, especially when it comes to its fundamental features.""The product has an efficient design.""We found it very simple and intuitive to use...The initial setup is straightforward.""ClickUp has helped me to increase my productivity and to better manage my time."

Cons
"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.""It should be integrated with CA Service Desk Manager so that, when you have time for a ticket or when someone gets assigned a ticket, in PPM it automatically shows that they have to account for that: that they would both enter time in the past and, also, that this is going to take them time in the future.""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.​""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.""They won't let me put a button on the UI.""As far as a tool that communicates with resources, with individuals - what they're supposed to do next or what action items came out of what meeting - it's not really used that way. Probably I could envision a way that it would be used that way. Until it's as easy as sending an email, it probably won't be utilized by the resources in that manner.""Look and feel of the user experience.""Could be using more updated technologies."

More Broadcom Clarity Cons →

"It would be good if the solution facilitated voice calls or an option to chat directly with a person on ClickUp.""It can be improved by making it more user-friendly.""The cloud-based solution can get bugs in it occasionally, causing latency and loading issues.""ClickUp's user interface could be made more user-friendly.""The product is not user-friendly.""ClickUp can improve the UI for mobile devices. For example, they are lacking some features in the Android version, such as Gantt charts.""The tool is not user-friendly.""ClickUp doesn't have a roadmap vision and a proper way of planning."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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."
  • "Better understanding of requirements and how it will be implemented (with number of licenses for a given budget) would help."
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "We're also moving to the latest version for less than $20,000 for a major corporate system. It's just amazing."
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • More Broadcom Clarity Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The price of ClickUp is reasonable. The price is approximately eight dollars per month per person."
  • "This solution costs $20 per user per month. If you have 20 users, you would pay $400 per month. There are no hidden fees that we are aware of."
  • "I don't have a lot of information about the pricing, but I know that it is fairly inexpensive."
  • "It's very affordable."
  • "The product’s cost is high."
  • "The product has good pricing."
  • "ClickUp’s pricing is better than Jira Align’s."
  • "The product is expensive."
