Efficient project management with roadmap and hierarchy features
I use Broadcom Clarity for end-to-end project and program portfolio management Every customer has achieved a return on investment within the first six months of implementation with Broadcom Clarity. The most valuable features of Broadcom Clarity are the roadmap feature and the hierarchy feature,…

IT Manager at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Good reporting, quick configurations, and helpful support
It's a cloud-based setup, so there's no challenge in getting everything up and running. The downtime should be minimal. I'd rate the process nine out of ten in terms of ease of deployment. There is a three-month implementation exercise that we control. We have five people who were part of the implementation and maintenance process. They are admins and web developers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's an integrated product, so we can do project management, strategic management, and resource management all in the same place, helping us make decisions faster and removing the need to maintain the systems ourselves."
"We went with CA because it's so easy, and everything is easy to do."
"The most valuable features are its compatibility with other programs, easy to use and the report generating feature."
"You should really look at the tool itself because it's a really powerful tool, it can do a lot of things, cover a lot of ground quickly and it can easily be picked up, as far as skill sets go."
"The ability to provide transparency through your investment portfolios at the top-level financial all the way down to the work that drives delivery."
"Broadcom Clarity PPM is better than Planisware because they have the multi-road mapping feature."
"The most valuable features are resource management and portfolio management."
"Visibility is the number one feature, as they can see where the bottlenecks are, they can see what their project statuses are, why things are being held up, and have tangible financial specifics for accurate cost recovery and client billing."
"The reporting part is very good."
 

Cons

"Clarity PPM would be improved by developing better support for the Agile framework."
"The look and the feel of 14.4 is a bit antiquated."
"An improvement would be location tracking to see where employees are."
"The install packages are the worst I’ve ever seen."
"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."
"The user interface (UI) needs to be improved. Right now, it's not the best."
"We see a lot of performance impacts, particularly in the newer versions with Jaspersoft and things like that, so that part has been pretty disappointing."
"In the next release, I would like to have a little bit more functionality on chatbots in Clarity PPM, especially for support requests, such as for the most commonly used support tickets that people could resolve themselves."
"Some of the reports could be automated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The price of Broadcom Clarity PPM is reasonable. My customers pay a license to use this solution on an annual basis."
"The subscription is not that 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."
"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."
