We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.

Pros
"There were probably about five or six metrics that we used. As a result, the groups that I supported were consistently ranked at the absolute top of the organization, as we were leveraging these built-in tools for tracking.""It is easier to use than most other products that are out there.""Broadcom Clarity PPM is a high-value product that helps users become productive. It's a very stable, scalable, and fast platform, even from a self management perspective.""​It is very intuitive. Even if you do not have training documents or anything, you can start feeling your way around pretty easily.""It allows me to keep track of the projects, residual location, it gives me the ease of getting status reports out, and checking risks and issues.""I enjoy the Risks/Issues section.I use that to raise things before they happen.""Right now, it's the PPM piece of it, the scheduling, the Gantt, the task view.""It is a scalable, easy-to-deploy, and user-friendly solution for enterprise businesses."

"We can customize the tool.""The most valuable feature of Zoho Projects is all integrated into one. We don't have to start using multiple tools, such as Projects, CRM, Marketing, Automation, Finance, and setting up Meetings. It's all in one solution. I don't have to go to multiple different platforms to have all the features I need.""Zoho Projects is very flexible and user-friendly.""The product is very easy to understand.""It integrates so well with other Zoho applications, and that really helps to extend the features of Zoho Projects.""Timesheets and the ability to add attachments are very valuable features to us.""It is a scalable solution.""While integrating a voice solution with Zoho Projects, the focus was on creating a unified interface for voice and customer engagement across various platforms like Facebook, social media, and emails. The primary goal was to seamlessly merge the two platforms into a single interface. To achieve this, we engaged in API integrations and worked on aspects such as initializing, authentication, and access control."

Cons
"Build more capability and unification into the reporting.​""We see it as overhead. Let us collect all the data in one place. Which, it is always nice to have everything in one place, but it does cause that overhead.""The user interface (UI) needs to be improved. Right now, it's not the best.""We use a product called TFS and we would definitely like to see integration with that. It's not there right now. Agile Central is the one that is integrated with.""The forms (e.g., project properties page) need to be more attractive, colorful, and field more flexibility for validations.""Could be using more updated technologies.""The architecture must be improved.""There are some tool limitations. We had to create some of our own summary competencies to create more of an agile tool concept, or an agile team concept, that they did not really have.​"

More Broadcom Clarity Cons →

"The tool should add live chat, live call, and live meeting features where clients can communicate.""Zoho Meeting definitely needs an improvement, because the quality is not as good as Zoom or Microsoft Teams, which I've used in the past.""The UI and UX must be improved.""If given the opportunity, I would focus on improving automation within Zoho Projects. While attempting to integrate with other platforms, users often encounter errors. The integration capabilities of Zoho Projects could be enhanced. Currently, the integration options are categorized as either easy or customized, with the latter requiring deluge code, which might pose challenges due to its lesser-known usage.""Sometimes the solution does not work.""The solution should improve on integration and customization.""We'd like to have milestone features.""The solution’s interface should be improved."

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."
  • More Broadcom Clarity Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The solution is cheap."
  • "The Enterprise version costs INR 630 per user per month."
  • "Zoho Projects is cost-effective."
  • "The product has different pricing models for different regions."
  • "The price for Zoho Projects is seven GBP per user per month."
  • "The product is fairly priced."
  • "Zoho Projects' costs are yearly and affordable."
