It streamlined our project management and resource management process.
I think the functionality with the reporting capability can be improved and I know there's a new version of KeyedIn coming out. I haven't had the opportunity yet to look at the new version, but I would say that reporting is actually one are for improvement. The way their functionality is set could be improved because, basically, what it does is: you can pull a resourcing report and you can pull a financial report, and it seems like they pull from different databases. You're not always able to compile all the data into one report. You have to pull separate reports to look at different data. That's one thing that I found that has been kind of hard with KeyedIn, because you can't view all the data you want into one report. It's not that flexible. You have to work with two separate reports in order to come to look at the data that you want. I would say that's one area for improvement: You're just not able to filter all the same data into one report. I'm also looking for integration here. Integration with, for example, a BI platform. We're implementing a BI platform here. I know that in KeyedIn, there's no real data connector that connects straight – although you can still connect via API - but KeyedIn does not have a data connector right now. I talk to the rep each week and that's something that I think would be a big win for KeyedIn. If it had a data connector already, it would be easier to integrate with other platforms.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Clarity PPM is an open design tool that you can design the way you want."
"The most valuable feature is the portfolio functionality because we have the ability to work with different scenarios and many kinds of financial management, we can integrate with ERP, and with other solutions from third-party vendors, and the financial model in Broadcom Clarity PPM is the most valuable aspect."
"You can identify resources by roles."
"Provides an overall picture, it gives you the ability to store your capex, capital and expense budgets, on projects."
"CA Clarity, now called PPM, has met all our expectations."
"CA PPM provides an integrated view of the total set of projects in the organization."
"Every customer has achieved a return on investment within the first six months of implementation with Broadcom Clarity."
"We really like being able to use the SaaS solution so that CA is managing everything except the actual data capture and generating reports."
"It is a practical and useful tool which benefits both us and our clients."
"KeyedIn has been very valuable in helping us streamline our process here in terms of project management and resource management."
 

Cons

"The only real improvement from my side - I'm spoiled by things like Trello, with the very easy user interface, things like Basecamp - it's very much a static software project. If I was to focus on something it would be that user interface; making that something that is a joy to use, instead of something that feels like data entry."
"The few times that we've tried putting it in production, it hasn't been that stable."
"Setup could be made easier."
"We are having difficulty using the Broadcom mobile application, which is not compatible with our network and inflow settings."
"One of the things that have always been a bit painful is the integration with reporting utilities."
"The provided reporting tool is inadequate. Structured reports are too difficult."
"The support team actually broke our QA environment without telling us."
"We want to get to know the CR functionality. We want to get a better picture of how to incorporate CR into our regular functionality."
"I would say that reporting is actually one area for improvement. You're just not able to filter all the same data into one report."
"It was more complicated than it needed to be, but with a KeyedIn implementation manager it was not an issue."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The subscription is not that expensive."
"The price point of Broadcom Clarity PPM is less than Planisware. If a customer comes to me, and the cost is the main parameter for the selection of a tool, then I'll recommend Broadcom because cost-wise, they are less than other solutions."
"Better understanding of requirements and how it will be implemented (with number of licenses for a given budget) would help."
"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."
"Pricing is flexible, depending on the customer and the region."
"The price of Broadcom Clarity PPM is reasonable. My customers pay a license to use this solution on an annual basis."
