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.

Good for reporting, but a little rigorous in its methodology and not conducive to real project management
It is a little rigorous in its methodology and is cumbersome. For example, I have a hard stop date and I would like a project to end by a specific date, but this is not how this solution works. It sorts of spits out the project date based on your resource availability, dependencies, and so on. This sort of project planning works in theory, but that's not always the case. It also relies heavily on resources entering their time into the system, that is, how much time they worked on each of the tasks so that it can sort of consistently update the project. I know that in a lot of organizations, including ours, it is almost impossible to get them to track the time. In terms of additional features, they can include more integration with Microsoft because integration is going to be a key functionality.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most useful feature for me as an implementer of Broadcom Clarity PPM is its extensibility. The tool is pretty extensible, and I haven't had any issues with it in terms of it getting used for multiple scenarios and for multiple clients where there's a need for high customization. Broadcom Clarity PPM is a very, very customizable tool, so you can pretty much implement any business process on it with no issues."
"It is a scalable, easy-to-deploy, and user-friendly solution for enterprise businesses."
"This product is good for resource management and project management. I have managed detailed schedules with great success."
"The ability to have all of the data in one place from risks and issues to resource capacity and actual utilization."
"It allows us to manage everything, and in terms of business value, its best features are about managing money and financials."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Broadcom Clarity PPM are demand, project, and product management."
"The app style of the new UI is absolutely fantastic. It's the right way to go. Our users will love it."
"The entire organisation is now on the same page, with one source of truth."
"Its dashboards and reports are the most valuable. We are able to share these reports and other information with our leadership."
"LiquidPlanner is a great tool for Getting Things Done enthusiasts and project managers in general."
 

Cons

"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."
"We use JIRA, so I'd definitely want PPM integrated with that."
"Clarity PPM would be improved by developing better support for the Agile framework."
"While Clarity is highly customizable, it could be better delivered as an agile solution out of the box."
"I think the user interface could be more user friendly."
"I'd like to see blueprints. I'd also like to see the user interface simplified, and to have a lot of templates available on each blueprint."
"Could be using more updated technologies."
"There is a lack of seamless integration with industry standard products."
"Perhaps my only comment is that it is not cheap but in saying that, it is worth every penny."
"I'd like to see more power and triggers in the iOS app."
"It is a little rigorous in its methodology and is cumbersome. For example, I have a hard stop date and I would like a project to end by a specific date, but this is not how this solution works. It sorts of spits out the project date based on your resource availability, dependencies, and so on. This sort of project planning works in theory, but that's not always the case.

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"Pricing is flexible, depending on the customer and the region."
"Better understanding of requirements and how it will be implemented (with number of licenses for a given budget) would help."
"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."
"The subscription is not that expensive."
"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."
"The price of Broadcom Clarity PPM is reasonable. My customers pay a license to use this solution on an annual basis."
