We performed a comparison between Broadcom Clarity and Jira based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Project Management Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is allowing us to keep track of what our projects are doing, and the idea module, what projects are coming into the pipeline."
"Broadcom Clarity PPM is robust and flexible, and all the functionality sets are in one place."
"It has improved communication vertically, with some amount of data to be able to show that more resources are necessary, or why projects aren't moving as fast as management would like. That sort of communication makes my job a lot easier."
"Provides an overall picture, it gives you the ability to store your capex, capital and expense budgets, on projects."
"Project Management features that are excellent in managing the Project Management Life-cycle, along with other related details like Financials, Resources and flexibility to customize, as per requirement."
"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."
"Being able to look at the data across team members, resources, projects and coming up with the algorithms and resources."
"This product is good for resource management and project management. I have managed detailed schedules with great success."
"The layout, workflow, automation, and metrics are helpful in Jira."
"The user story map is excellent. The features can be composed into stories and they can be allocated to each of the sprints in a program increment. It allows you to see all that in the user story map, and you have various dashboards to see the stories in various views. You can see them as a backlog view, for example, or you can see as an actual sprint view."
"This tool can be used anywhere and on any device."
"The most valuable feature is that it has different APIs available, with good services, and it is completely by the books."
"Internally we use Jira for our own implementations and capturing requirements and our customers are using the whole tool for the whole software development life cycle. They're using it for the full life cycle of the product."
"I have experience with Jira's bulk tracking and issue management. We use it to add new features to our product, fix bugs, and address customer feedback."
"The most valuable feature of Jira is the project package for development."
"Offers a common language set so we can bring people into projects and get them up and running almost immediately."
"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."
"The Latin American support could be better due to the language barrier."
"they could improve the mobile app. I think right now it only offers time sheet. If they can integrate a lot of other components into it I think that would be helpful for the users."
"We see it as overhead. Let us collect all the data in one place. Which, it is always nice to have everything in one place, but it does cause that overhead."
"There are some tool limitations. We had to create some of our own summary competencies to create more of an agile tool concept, or an agile team concept, that they did not really have."
"In the next release, I would like to have a little bit more functionality on chatbots in Clarity PPM, especially for support requests, such as for the most commonly used support tickets that people could resolve themselves."
"In the timesheet UX, you can't do things like splitting time, managing overtime versus regular time, very easily. That would be helpful."
"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."
"Having more seamless integration with Confluence would really help us track our product management activity and other product details in one place."
"In general, although we use JIRA, we never really learned how to use it properly. The learning curve of the solution is high. It has a lot of power, and yet we don't understand its capabilities."
"If Jira would be interested in offering a SharePoint version, it would be beneficial."
"The next-generation software projects lack a lot, and I found quite a few bugs. There are some really basic things that you still cannot do. For instance, to put a mandatory due date for a task that you create in one of these projects is still not available. That's a bit of a block because people, especially those who are not technical, are not going to add anything if it's not mandatory. It's going to be difficult to teach them that they should do it anyway."
"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."
"If I'm comparing it to ALM Octane, the documentation is not as robust as ALM Octane's documentation. So, they can improve on the documentation side."
"I want Jira to have more plug-ins, which will allow for more free plug-ins that help with the area of reporting."
