Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I’ve evaluated the other PPM tools and competitors and found that CA PPM is heads and shoulders above the rest."
"We also have integration with CA Agile Central. So we get all the project-related data and the user stories-related data into it and we report on to that: How much funding is there, and how much are the actuals between these two tools?"
"Value streams, investment cases, road mapping, and fast destinations. These are the ones we use to manage stuff."
"The near-immediate benefit was having all projects in one place."
"I would rate the scalability of the solution as eight out of ten."
"Broadcom Clarity PPM's most valuable feature is the plenty of modules, such as portfolio, project, resource, and time."
"Right now, it is the project management module; it is allowing us to keep track of what our projects are doing, and the idea module, what projects are coming into the pipeline."
"Just the capability of it is really blowing my mind so far."
"The primary uses for this tool are task delegation, generating reports, and on-time invoices."
"Real-time collaboration, invoice generation, task delegation, and file management features have become valuable features for our organization."
"It increased productivity and timely delivery of projects within a set budget."
 

Cons

"It could be a real improvement to change the UI behavior, to work more in the foreground."
"Their online documentation is okay. It is not great. It is hard to get to some of the answers to the things that we may be running into, such as use cases that we are trying to fix. So, frequently we have to put in tickets."
"The product's stability needs improvement."
"I'm looking forward to the addition of the Jaspersoft reporting feature. We don't have that right now."
"There were some bugs in the old version that were supposed to be fixed but are not. Some features that needed to be added have never been added."
"I struggle also from a maintenance and support perspective. Now, I am going to be maintaining both new UX screens, which the blueprints make look like it is going to be really easy, but we would still have to be maintaining new UX screens as well as classic views for those functionalities that are not yet available in the new UX."
"One of the areas that we would improve upon is not necessarily with the tool, but having more tips/tricks on adoption. How to get people outside of the PMO to use the tool and get the information."
"Broadcom Clarity PPM has some areas for improvement, particularly its dashboard, because it's too slow."
"The timely reminders could be reduced from one mail a day to three mails in a week. This tends to fill up our inboxes a lot."
 

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