Farshad Farhadieh - PeerSpot reviewer
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 ability to have all of the data in one place from risks and issues to resource capacity and actual utilization."
"Transparency and just having the ability to procure information that is pertinent."
"Clarity is a strong project management and portfolio management product."
"What has been valuable are the workflows that are there today in order to keep our executive staff informed as well as our program managers and department managers."
"It is easier to use than most other products that are out there."
"Provides an overall picture, it gives you the ability to store your capex, capital and expense budgets, on projects."
"The solution is technically fine and user friendly."
"You can find the statistics of the products, share reports, and open boxes. Additionally, its ease of use helps with project management."
"It is a scalable solution. I would rate it a ten out of ten."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It is great for visualization and project task assignments to team members."
"The product has an efficient design."
"It gives reminders for important project dates and when a particular task is about to close."
"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."
"ClickUp optimizes task assignments with its user-friendly interface and plethora of options."
"The simplicity of the tool is valuable because it has categories and subcategories."
 

Cons

"In the timesheet UX, you can't do things like splitting time, managing overtime versus regular time, very easily. That would be helpful."
"​Maybe we need to bring some financial executive reports to our directors and executives. Maybe we can improve the use of Jaspersoft.​"
"I want to see integration for SMS functionality."
"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 architecture must be improved."
"One of the major pain points for me when it comes to Broadcom Clarity PPM is the new UI. The new UI is very good in terms of functionality and the drag and draw features, but it's not very responsive. When I say that it's not very responsive, what I mean is that sometimes, the tool is not very user-friendly. For example, a user saves a value on the form, but the tool doesn't give any indication to the user that the value has been saved. Some users are moving from the classic UI to the new UI, and end up getting confused because on the classic UI, when you click "Save", it'll save the information and you'll get an indication that it was saved. With the new UI, it auto saves the information, but it doesn't give an indication in the form of a popup box that "this form has been saved", or any type of message indicating that the information was successfully saved. It's been confusing for users who move to the new UI because of that. The users don't understand when the values are being saved or not being saved, even if there's an auto-save feature in the new UI."
"When you are going to a more collaborative based approach, PPM does not support that."
"I would like to see more team-based management, and less people-based management; as far as the resource management goes, to do it per team and not per person."
"The email portion, specifically the email automation, where you can add attachments, has room for improvement."
"ClickUp can improve the UI for mobile devices. For example, they are lacking some features in the Android version, such as Gantt charts."
"ClickUp's interface needs improvement."
"The cloud-based solution can get bugs in it occasionally, causing latency and loading issues."
"It would be good if the solution facilitated voice calls or an option to chat directly with a person on ClickUp."
"It can be improved by making it more user-friendly."
"ClickUp could improve its documentation section."
"ClickUp could improve by streamlining its functions and organizing them better for easier access."
 

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."
"The subscription is not that expensive."
"The price of Broadcom Clarity PPM is reasonable. My customers pay a license to use this solution on an annual basis."
"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."
"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."
"Better understanding of requirements and how it will be implemented (with number of licenses for a given budget) would help."
"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."
"Pricing is flexible, depending on the customer and the region."
"It's very affordable."
"The product’s cost is high."
"The product is expensive."
"This solution costs $20 per user per month. If you have 20 users, you would pay $400 per month. There are no hidden fees that we are aware of."
"I don't have a lot of information about the pricing, but I know that it is fairly inexpensive."
"The price of ClickUp is reasonable. The price is approximately eight dollars per month per person."
"I use the free version."
"The product has good pricing."
