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.

A project management solution that can be automated to suit your needs
I rate the initial setup a seven out of ten because it's easy. We had to really understand the solution because it's huge, and we had to know which sections to bite off first. I might even rate the initial setup a nine out of ten if you know what you've got. Once we had all our data and our migration plan, it was quite easy. The challenge lies more with the organization than the system itself. Sciforma is one of the easiest tools to get going with from a technical point of view, but knowledge is key. Deploying the solution takes from six months to a year, depending on the level of data wanted. While deploying the solution, we have to first compile the user's requirements. Then we have to drop a baseline specification in parallel with a concept rollout. Based on what's in the concept, we pick from what the client understands to be the relevant portions, the minimum requirements. Then I convert it into a project execution plan and then execute the plan. After that, we have initial data collection for configuration and then final live data. Then we have the sign-off processes of different departments. There's a lot of upfront work to get the data prepared for transmission, and that is a big challenge. We did almost a thousand projects per year, so there were quite a lot of decisions to speed up the deployment process. The biggest challenge was to get our internal data organized and map it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is easier to use than most other products that are out there, and it will provide us the transparency we need in our organization to see how work is being managed and moving along."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is the XFlow, that interface is pretty cool."
"Support and the transition from our old system to this, they made it go very smoothly."
"Broadcom Clarity PPM is the only tool that provides that kind of capability to agile as waterfall project management."
"It definitely gives us a way to group and manage our projects across the entire organization, as well as track time of resources so we can use that within our capitalization efforts."
"The most valuable features are the resource management, project management, and tracking time for our employees."
"For resource management, it's a very strong tool, has all the features that you would desire in a resource management tool, so we're very happy with that."
"Allows us to track all of a project's elements in one database."
"ONE2TEAM revolutionizes the way of working: The cloud based solution for project and portfolio management with very strong collaboration functionality lets executives and team members access their work environment anytime, anywhere to monitor program status, act, and complete a personalized checklist of tasks without the need to send emails or create presentations, simply working together in a dashboard."
"The integrated portfolio and project management approach is the most valuable feature of Sciforma."
"It makes it more fun to work with a modern designed and easy-to-use solution as a team and not add or analyze data alone. Internal, external, home office, remote work, desktop, mobile (available on iOS and Android), are always connected to One2Team."
"I find Sciforma's customizability valuable."
 

Cons

"I think the user interface could be more user friendly."
"CA PPM is a mature product. We have used it for years, but we have had some challenges."
"I think that the solution's usage has been decreased because the solution has a lot of competition right now. For example, ServiceNow is improving the end user interface and the final digital interaction and I think Clarity Service Management is not."
"We just upgraded to 14.2, and when we went from 13.1 to 13.3, we were very buggy."
"We have contact with a CA company in Brazil, and simple questions are solved in time, but we have old questions that we couldn’t solve until now and it’s difficult to discuss as some issues are more complex with them."
"I would like to see better dashboards within the tool and better integration with SAP BusinessObjects."
"At times it is good but it is not always the best. Response time is a bit slow in some cases."
"The user interface seems a bit outdated in some modules, while the most frequent modules have already been updated to a modern look and feel."
"The report developer needs a bit of streamlining."
"For the future AI (Artificial intelligence) must be part of a modern solution. AI is with its unique ability to monitor patterns, is a capable assistant for project managers. Artificial intelligence is being used to help with project organization on a collection of different data from multi-data sources."
"For the future AI (Artificial intelligence) must be part of a modern solution."
"The solution's graphical user interface (GUI) is a bit old and could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The price of Broadcom Clarity PPM is reasonable. My customers pay a license to use this solution on an annual basis."
"I rate the pricing a four out of ten because Sciforma's rates are good."
"The solution's pricing is neither too expensive nor too cheap."
