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,…

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

"The competency and available support are quite good, therefore we do not have any issues with support. Every time that we have a case where we need support, it is clarified right away."
"It is technically fine, is very user friendly, and is a good tool, and we get pretty good support from Broadcom as well."
"If you talk about any other tool for PPM, I think CA PPM has the most potential."
"It's very good out of the box, without configurations required."
"Right now, it's the PPM piece of it, the scheduling, the Gantt, the task view."
"It's definitely met and exceeded all our expectations with regards to the tool."
"What we find valuable is the ability to bring all the different projects that we have into a central location."
"The project management part of it is definitely the most valuable part of it to us."
"The reporting part is very good."
 

Cons

"I give the solution an eight out of 10 because I think the classic UX is a little bit clunky."
"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."
"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."
"Personally, I think there are some things that could be a little better, particularly regarding response times."
"The development of third-party items such as Java JDK, Tomcat and browsers is usually so fast that the versions supported by CA PPM are not the most recent ones."
"The tool itself is comprehensive, but it's missing input from people like me."
"Stability is fine, but it's not good."
"In the timesheet UX, you can't do things like splitting time, managing overtime versus regular time, very easily. That would be helpful."
"Some of the reports could be automated."
 

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."
"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 price of Broadcom Clarity PPM is reasonable. My customers pay a license to use this solution on an annual basis."
"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."
"Pricing is flexible, depending on the customer and the region."
"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."
