Find out what your peers are saying about monday.com, Microsoft, Asana and others in Project Management Software."The ability to have all of the data in one place from risks and issues to resource capacity and actual utilization."
"It has highlighted areas in our company that were deficient in resources. It has allowed us to hire, then realize more benefits regarding the number of projects we can get done."
"Visibility is the number one feature. They can see where the bottlenecks are, they can see what their project statuses are, why are things being held up, etc."
"There were probably about five or six metrics that we used. As a result, the groups that I supported were consistently ranked at the absolute top of the organization, as we were leveraging these built-in tools for tracking."
"Right now, it's the PPM piece of it, the scheduling, the Gantt, the task view."
"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."
"This product is good for resource management and project management. I have managed detailed schedules with great success."
"The most valuable features are the project, resource, and portfolio management processes are combined in one solution. The data is possible to use either in the one or the other process, and we do not need to enter the data multiple times."
"The reporting part is very good."
"The timeline management is great."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is its ease of use. I don't need to train anyone to use it, I just give them access and they can use it to add comments, move their issues, change the status, monitor, read, and so on."
"Most of my work is keeping track of what's been going on and identifying what is blocking future work. What I like about this solution is you can create a consolidated customized dashboard out of your files to identify what's been going on and identify who has how much data assigned to them."
"Reports, analytics, and a ton of widgets, they are great and intuitive. Perfect for an agile team."
"One of the valuable features is traceability from requirements to test cases."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is its ability to connect everything together."
"The most valuable feature of Jira is the integration with all the different Atlassian tools. They all integrate very easily."
"We can create multiple boards for the same product backlogs."
"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."
"We use Service Desk Manager as well. We have a custom tool to integrate the two. One of the reasons why PPM was chosen was because, "Well, it must integrate with SDM, because they're the same company." But that was not the case."
"We use a product called TFS and we would definitely like to see integration with that. It's not there right now. Agile Central is the one that is integrated with."
"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."
"In the community, I do not see a lot of answers. A lot of people asking lots of questions, but I am not seeing a lot of answers come through."
"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."
"CA Communities need a lot of improvement."
"Some of the reports could be automated."
"The pricing is quite high."
"I'd like the solution to be more secure."
"An area for improvement in Jira is that it's not designed for test management. To use it for test management, you need an add-on or several add-ons, e.g. Xray or Zephyr."
"I find the dashboard to be Jira's most problematic feature."
"The way to configure it can definitely be improved. It is very difficult and complex to configure. Its configuration should be simplified."
"The solution can improve by including test management functionality in a native bundle without plugins."
"I want Jira to have more plug-ins, which will allow for more free plug-ins that help with the area of reporting."
"For our company, we're thinking about not only project management solutions but also collaboration solutions, and maybe if Jira had a chart or quick commenting option, it would be great."
