Delivery Transformation Lead at Banca Transilvania

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.

Centralized planning has improved resource visibility and supports data‑driven financial decisions

The best features Planview Portfolios offers are visibility enhancement, robust system performance, and comprehensive resource management. This enhanced visibility in Planview Portfolios ensures that all users can easily track progress, identify bottlenecks, and make informed decisions to optimize workflow efficiency. When discussing robust system performance, the system's robust performance in meeting our various work requirements effectively and efficiently stands out. It is very stable and reliable, contributing to a seamless user experience, which enables users to focus on their tasks without disruptions. I also love the financial breakdown, planning and prioritization, and attribute collection on projects in Planview Portfolios. Planview Portfolios has positively impacted my organization since I started using it. It has enabled me to gain insights into the full scope of work consuming resources. I am able to know where the resources are being consumed more, especially which resources are consuming the most. I have been able to leverage resources management and resource time reporting, which enabled the generation of $90 million in annual revenue through labor billing to customers.

Excellent portfolio management SaaS - strategy, savings, visibility

I haven't used the product for over a year, so this could be out of date but entering information was somewhat cumbersome. PPM systems in general are a challenge to keep populated with current information. The business priority of portfolio visibility must be communicated to users and reinforced that the project doesn't exist unless it's updated in the system.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"Value streams, investment cases, road mapping, and fast destinations. These are the ones we use to manage stuff."

"Broadcom Clarity PPM is better than Planisware because they have the multi-road mapping feature."

"It gives us complete visibility of resource allocation on a global team."

"It definitely has met the use case of performing well."

"What has been valuable are the workflows that are there today in order to keep our executive staff informed as well as our program managers and department managers."

"The ability to provide transparency through your investment portfolios at the top-level financial all the way down to the work that drives delivery."

"The app style of the new UI is absolutely fantastic. It's the right way to go. Our users will love it."

More Broadcom Clarity pros

"The most valuable features are the resource planning and tracking."

"The biggest impact has been the visibility into our IT assets."

"We've brought our portfolio altogether. We have had multiple ways of reporting out what our portfolio is, whether it's in Excel, Word, or in different places. We brought all of our projects together in one place. That has worked out well for us. We've been able to manage the work on Gantt charts and our resources better. The big thing for us on research and development is around managing people's time, on which projects they are working on, and how much effort does it take to launch our projects."

"Enterprise One has improved my organization with the ability to look at the hours that people track, and as we grow within Enterprise One, we're able to pull reporting to see how much time it takes for each individual person or a team to perform a task to complete a project, so we can build estimation models that improve forecasting and reduce the amount of time project managers spend building project plans."

"The financial planning capabilities are very useful. We have integration for an SAP system, and so we load financial data from SAP into Planview for prior months. And then we use the forecasting capabilities to get a complete picture of the cost of a specific project. The financial management is very useful."

"The Kanban board has really helped us be more agile and we can keep track of everything that is ongoing."

"Enterprise One provides a variety of types of resource assignments for assigning work to people, and it also allows program managers to group work together and see the resource demands and cost at a consolidated level."

"It also helps to provide end-to-end work management for the full spectrum of types of work in one tool."

More Planview Portfolios pros

"Very configurable software; almost any stage-gate process can be mapped and defined in the software giving excellent visibility to your project portfolio."

Cons

"It could be a real improvement to change the UI behavior, to work more in the foreground."

"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."

"As far as a tool that communicates with resources, with individuals - what they're supposed to do next or what action items came out of what meeting - it's not really used that way. Probably I could envision a way that it would be used that way. Until it's as easy as sending an email, it probably won't be utilized by the resources in that manner."

"Clarity PPM would be improved by developing better support for the Agile framework."

"Additionally, there are some things that come with the product that are problematic."

"Could be using more updated technologies."

"Whenever that second instance of Clarity came about, it was overwhelming even to people who were accustomed to working with program management tools."

"Build more capability and unification into the reporting."

More Broadcom Clarity cons

"I think Enterprise One is great at being a source for data, but our company is still running reports externally."

"I would like to see more documentation pieces. I would like to see more out-of-the-box features with document repository capabilities."

"The biggest room for improvement are the scripted dialogues; the scripted dialogues are a logic that you set up to force a certain workflow or process to happen, and it's very old in respect that there are no clauses that you can apply to that logic."

"The scheduling's kind of clunky in terms of its ability for us to see what stage work is at. They could have done better with that."

"The configuration for the front-end user can be a little antiquated and it needs a facelift."

"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing reveals that the cost is a bit not affordable for a small organization, but for medium and large enterprises, I would say it is very cost-effective and affordable."

"Sometimes within the application, when you pull a report, it takes awhile performance-wise for the reports to pull up."

"Its support to legacy paying customers is something PlanView is not handling well. We were unable to implement due to lack of professional support by PlanView."

More Planview Portfolios cons

"Entering information was somewhat cumbersome."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"Pricing is flexible, depending on the customer and the region."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Better understanding of requirements and how it will be implemented (with number of licenses for a given budget) would help."

"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."

More Broadcom Clarity pricing and cost advice

"We have portfolio managers, resource managers, project managers, and time reporting licenses. These are the licenses that we have."

"Our licensing costs are probably $150,000 to $180,000 a year with 270 licenses total."

"I don't know about the actual pricing. I have not come across any costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."

"Our licensing costs are about a quarter of a million dollars per year."

"With the costs, they were very understanding. Knowing that we were an existing customer, they were very much willing to work with us to make sure that we were able to transition to Enterprise One from PPM Pro."

"When we went through that process, I believe it is competitive with others on the market. However, there are less expensive options available. It's a more premium offering at a higher price."

"We recently did a new bundle for all of Enterprise One. It includes some of the newer pieces, like Projectplace and LeanKit. It bundled our CTM in with it as well. I think the total came out to be about $900,000 a year. This is for unlimited licenses."

"In the time that I've used it, we've doubled up the amount of dollars on our intended projects."
