Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable features are the project, resource, and portfolio management processes are combined in one solution. The data is possible to use either in the one or the other process, and we do not need to enter the data multiple times.""it creates visibility across our whole organization. People that were often left in the dark wondering what was happening with projects. Now have an easy solution to see all the information they want to see across the whole portfolio.""Upgrades were pretty straightforward. CA took care of everything, we just did the testing.""The ability to have all of the data in one place from risks and issues to resource capacity and actual utilization.""It is allowing us to keep track of what our projects are doing, and the idea module, what projects are coming into the pipeline.""It makes the whole lifecycle of project management a lot easier than using the legacy systems, which we are retiring every few months because of PPM.""I enjoy the Risks/Issues section.I use that to raise things before they happen.""It has improved communication vertically, with some amount of data to be able to show that more resources are necessary, or why projects aren't moving as fast as management would like. That sort of communication makes my job a lot easier."

More Broadcom Clarity Pros →

"It increased productivity and timely delivery of projects within a set budget.""The primary uses for this tool are task delegation, generating reports, and on-time invoices."

More ProProfs Project Pros →

"What I like the most about Trello is how engaging and efficient it is. I like that it allows me to monitor which tasks have been completed and which ones haven't by removing a particular card away from the board, stating that the task has been done.""It has a very modern-looking interface.""The user interface is great. I find it very easy to create cards.""The product has a lot of integrations.""It offers a very solid service alongside its innovative features and capabilities.""Trello's most valuable feature is its visuals. You can customize your board with covers and pictures. There are no restrictions in workflow columns as in Jira. It is a powerful solution to organize work. Jira is process-oriented and restrictive.""The usability of this solution is its most valuable feature. It offers a great flow of creating a business rule that allows you to just add identifiers and qualifiers.""I think task management, prioritization, rankings, and collaboration features are useful."

Cons
"A little bit better financial management. Right now it is more accountant-related, the financial management - of course, it's finance, it has to be financial. But it should be a little bit easier for project managers.""The Broadcom Clarity PPM dashboard needs improvement , because it's too slow. The look and feel of the platform, including its UX, also need some enhancement.""Broadcom Clarity PPM could improve by adding advanced reporting in the tool. There are a lot of out-of-the-box reports, but I would like to see more advanced reporting.""The integration needs to be improved with Jaspersoft and Microsoft Project.​""We're looking at adding the Agile piece to it. I want to make sure that that integration is very smooth.""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.""Clarity PPM would be improved by developing better support for the Agile framework.""Whenever that second instance of Clarity came about, it was overwhelming even to people who were accustomed to working with program management tools."

More Broadcom Clarity Cons →

"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."

More ProProfs Project Cons →

"Although it has many useful features, the one thing I don't like about Trello is that it constantly sends out unimportant notifications.""Users should be able to log their time against the tasks and visual reports should be available in Trello for time spent.""We cannot link tasks that are dependent on each other.""Sometimes, I find it challenging to manage the checklists.""In terms of improvements, adding more artificial intelligence and making it more user-friendly in terms of design could be beneficial.""Having more integration with third party tools is an area for improvement in Trello. It would also be nice if it has a voice messaging functionality similar to what you have in WhatsApp, for quicker communication with colleagues.""If there are pre-done templates or suggested templates for various fields, they would be helpful for me as a coach.""The tool should be able to predict the task completion dates based on the date assigned and sprint dates. It is also not commercial compared to competitors."

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

    Information Not Available
  • "Maybe it would be better if they offered some extra tiers, so you don't have to go all the way up to the pro level."
  • "I use the free version of Trello, which is sufficient for my day to day use."
  • "I am tinkering with the free version."
  • "The free version of Trello covers all of the bases and all of our needs, so there's no cost involved for us. This is surprising for such a quality platform with no limitations on the key functionalities, though it also has a paid version."
  • "Its pricing is good. It is about $6 per license for what we use, but then there are other plans as well, such as $12 a month. I would rate it a nine out of ten in terms of pricing."
  • "The pricing for this solution is reasonable."
  • "We are currently using the open-source option."
  • "Paying for the solution's license is worth it only if our enterprise or organization can use Trello, integrated with some other solution, and we can have good reports."
