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,…
Sunny Nair - PeerSpot reviewer
Has improved project tracking accuracy and simplified team collaboration through flexible task workflows
On a scale of 1-10, I rate ClickUp a 10 out of 10. The best advantage with ClickUp is that it's easy to use, without much of a learning curve, and it's easy to understand the UI and interface, which makes it easier to consume the product compared to others in the market. I use the time tracking feature in ClickUp. The time tracking feature helps manage my deadlines effectively, and it is much more detailed compared to any other product available. One of the primary things I really appreciate about ClickUp is the summary of the project; once the project ends, I can export the summary into a PDF, so I don't have to write the document manually. Regarding analytic reports provided by ClickUp, it provides specific metrics, and while I need more time to understand how efficiently it manages the metrics, it can cater to both basic and advanced tasks. I have not seen any disadvantages or areas for improvement with ClickUp, and the updates they bring in are quite fast and efficient, so I'm quite satisfied with the product currently. I have not encountered any particular challenges or complexities. I cannot think of any features they could add in the future. They have AI integration available with their product line today, which is not offered by other products, and while Microsoft Project Manager's AI integration is complex, ClickUp already has all the components in place. I only work with Einstein Analytics, which we use as an internal tool.

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 feature is the portfolio functionality because we have the ability to work with different scenarios and many kinds of financial management. We can integrate with ERP, and with other solutions from third-party vendors. The financial model in Broadcom Clarity PPM, it's the most valuable aspect."
"The solution is technically fine and user friendly."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is the XFlow, that interface is pretty cool."
"Every customer has achieved a return on investment within the first six months of implementation with Broadcom Clarity."
"We are able to track budgets, and with timesheets, actuals against budgets."
"It has best-in-class capacity planning and demand management, role-based, individual-based, team-based, and location-based."
"I would rate the scalability of the solution as eight out of ten."
"It has highlighted areas in our company that were deficient in resources. It has allowed us to hire, then realize more benefits regarding the number of projects we can get done.​"
"ClickUp offers a relatively user-friendly experience, especially when it comes to its fundamental features."
"It is great for visualization and project task assignments to team members."
"It gives reminders for important project dates and when a particular task is about to close."
"We found it very simple and intuitive to use...The initial setup is straightforward."
"ClickUp optimizes task assignments with its user-friendly interface and plethora of options."
"The most interesting feature is the ability to share what you are working on with an external entity. The customer has direct visibility on what is being done on a particular project and this provides a lot of transparency."
"Everything in one place is the biggest benefit. I also like the diagramming tools, where you can create DFDs, structure charts, and more. That makes things easier."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"​CA Communities need a lot of improvement."
"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.​"
"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."
"Broadcom Clarity could improve by adding artificial intelligence and reporting capabilities, which they are already working on."
"Reporting is not good as they keep on changing reporting environment."
"The user interface (UI) needs to be improved. Right now, it's not the best."
"The only real improvement from my side - I'm spoiled by things like Trello, with the very easy user interface, things like Basecamp - it's very much a static software project. If I was to focus on something it would be that user interface; making that something that is a joy to use, instead of something that feels like data entry."
"I think there's still a little bit of opportunity that we can do some stuff better in relation to the financial part of it; just that easier integration, that look and feel. Our project managers, and obviously finance people, love to interface and use of Excel. The more we can get CA PPM to behave in a similar way, which we're already starting to gain in that path, will be absolutely fantastic."
"Introducing automation and AI would greatly benefit ClickUp by reducing manual work."
"More automation features must be added."
"One area that requires improvement would be the integration with existing systems, such as legacy systems and other project management software, where having the capability to import previously run projects into ClickUp would be beneficial."
"There is a need for significant improvement in the user interface to make it more intuitive and less time-consuming to become familiar with."
"ClickUp doesn't have a roadmap vision and a proper way of planning."
"They should explain better how costs and licensing are distributed."
"It would be good if the solution facilitated voice calls or an option to chat directly with a person on ClickUp."
"ClickUp could improve by streamlining its functions and organizing them better for easier access."
 

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 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."
"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."
"Pricing is flexible, depending on the customer and the region."
"Better understanding of requirements and how it will be implemented (with number of licenses for a given budget) would help."
"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 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."
"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."
"The product has good pricing."
"The product is expensive."
"The product’s cost is high."
"ClickUp is affordable."
"The price of ClickUp is reasonable. The price is approximately eight dollars per month per person."
"It's very affordable."
"ClickUp’s pricing is better than Jira Align’s."
"I use the free version."
