Executive SummaryUpdated on Nov 4, 2024

Broadcom Clarity and Planview Daptiv compete in the project management software category. Broadcom Clarity has the upper hand with its comprehensive solution for managing complex project portfolios, offering enhanced features and capabilities.

Features: Broadcom Clarity provides extensive functionalities in project management, resource management, portfolio management, financial integration, and robust reporting capabilities. Planview Daptiv focuses on effective project planning and task management with notable strengths in these areas.

Room for Improvement: Broadcom Clarity could enhance its reporting, improve third-party tool integration, and offer a more user-friendly interface. Performance issues at peak times have been noted. Planview Daptiv needs to improve its project planning tools and offer better report customization, along with adding standout features in specific areas for competitive advantage.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Broadcom Clarity's availability in both on-premises and cloud options provides deployment flexibility, though technical support feedback is mixed. Planview Daptiv offers easier scalability with its cloud-based deployment. Customer service is praised, although technical support experiences vary.

Pricing and ROI: Broadcom Clarity's higher pricing aligns with its comprehensive features, suitable for large-scale implementations where ROI becomes clearer. Licensing complexities can affect costs for enterprises needing full functionality. Planview Daptiv offers a flexible pricing model, cost-effective for simpler needs; however, role-based licensing might lead to higher costs for full permissions.

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.

Useful project management capabilities, beneficial dashboards, but project planning could improve

The areas that should be improved in Planview Daptiv are a subject that can be viewed differently depending on who you ask. I feel they should focus on excelling in one specific area rather than providing average capabilities in many areas. For example, their project planning software is satisfactory but not as advanced as Microsoft Projects. The same goes for the capacity planning tool and reporting capabilities, which can be improved upon by using custom Excel spreadsheets or by hiring a business analyst for additional support. In short, the biggest weakness of Daptiv is that it does not excel in any one area and only provides average performance. In a future release, it would be beneficial to have a undo button.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It puts the right resource at the right place at the right time."

"This product is good for resource management and project management, and I have managed detailed schedules with great success."

"The most valuable features is the broad spectrum ability to pull in all of our portfolio information and drive that down to where the end result outputs to our financials."

"The best feature is the ability to control the demands of both big and small projects."

"Upgrades were pretty straightforward. CA took care of everything, we just did the testing."

"It's a kind of one-stop shop repository of all of our project statuses and what everybody is doing."

"Basically, it keeps us on track financially."

"As a Project and Portfolio management tool, it allows the company to allocate costs based on projects, goals, or strategies, and you can break down costs a lot easier because of the amount of detail you can put into the project."

More Broadcom Clarity pros

"The experience with Changepoint has been great considering that most organizations won't use 90% of the application's features."

"Changepoint gives us a view of the project status and needs very clearly, which are things that we used to miss with MS Project and Excel."

"I like the reporting engine, IBM Cognos, especially the analytics. That's a good tool. It's quite strong on the ideation and capacity-planning side, which is a huge plus."

"The most valuable features are resource allocation and capacity planning."

"Consequently, it is the single point of truth for both our project managers and our senior leadership."

"The powerful collaboration is definitely the most valuable and the fact that you can adjust flexibility to almost any methodology, and the easy creation of complete new functionalities without programming code."

"Reporting of IT capacity available for first time, time sheets available for first time."

"It's difficult to pinpoint just one most valuable feature, as there are many features that can be beneficial. For the specific use case of my client's project management office, they found the project management features of the application to be particularly valuable, such as project boards, reporting, and the ability to customize views. Additionally, task management and project scheduling were also highly utilized. However, capacity planning was not used as much as the others, as there was a lack of support from executives to invest in training and implementing it due to a lack of processes in place. The project planning features, dashboard, and reporting capabilities were considered the most valuable."

More Planview Daptiv pros

Cons

"In terms of what could be improved, the end user interface could be improved to be more intuitive, because we sometimes have issues with customization. Sometimes we are not able to customize everything for the end user's interface, and they require more customization. We should be able to perform a deeper customization here."

"While Clarity is highly customizable, it could be better delivered as an agile solution out of the box."

"The user interface (UI) needs to be improved. Right now, it's not the best."

"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."

"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."

"I wish patches would be quicker since we're a SaaS customer, and just be a non-event, so we don't have to go through a whole - essentially - upgrade cycle, just to do a patch. As a SaaS customer, I'd like the patch to just happen."

"CA Communities need a lot of improvement."

"The Work Breakdown Structure in the Tasks: I should be able to drag and drop to a level three instead of just stuck at level two."

More Broadcom Clarity cons

"I would say there is too much work that has to go into the configuration up front and for the first 6 months to 1 year after, which costs time, money, and resources, and it is not a very advanced tool and seems interface-wise to be behind the times."

"The areas that should be improved in Planview Daptiv are a subject that can be viewed differently depending on who you ask. I feel they should focus on excelling in one specific area rather than providing average capabilities in many areas. For example, their project planning software is satisfactory but not as advanced as Microsoft Projects. The same goes for the capacity planning tool and reporting capabilities, which can be improved upon by using custom Excel spreadsheets or by hiring a business analyst for additional support. In short, the biggest weakness of Daptiv is that it does not excel in any one area and only provides average performance."

"The user interface is quirky and does not always conform to the expected Microsoft UI standards."

"I find the solution has an excessive amount of features. Many aren't even kept current."

"It would also be nice to see some improvements on the IBM Cognos Analytics. There's still work to be done on the analytics side of things, like your condition formality."

"This solution needs more standard connectors to other solutions i.e. to Infor ERP, Confluence, ..."

"The previous solution that we were using was Projector PSA; it was overall a superior product."

"Accessing some functions is a bit obscure and requires some knowledge of how the product works, but the upgrade from v2012 to 2014 improved that situation and I expect the upcoming upgrade to 2017 to further streamline operations."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

More Broadcom Clarity pricing and cost advice

"The licensing is pretty complex. Each kind of user is a different price. It's approximately $300 per year. They charge additional fees for technical support and other additional services."

"It's a yearly license, but it's not an open license. It's based on users and their roles. So your administrator is priced differently from your timesheet user."
