Executive SummaryUpdated on Nov 4, 2024

Broadcom Clarity and Planview Daptiv compete in the project management software category. Broadcom Clarity has the upper hand with its comprehensive solution for managing complex project portfolios, offering enhanced features and capabilities.

Features: Broadcom Clarity provides extensive functionalities in project management, resource management, portfolio management, financial integration, and robust reporting capabilities. Planview Daptiv focuses on effective project planning and task management with notable strengths in these areas.

Room for Improvement: Broadcom Clarity could enhance its reporting, improve third-party tool integration, and offer a more user-friendly interface. Performance issues at peak times have been noted. Planview Daptiv needs to improve its project planning tools and offer better report customization, along with adding standout features in specific areas for competitive advantage.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Broadcom Clarity's availability in both on-premises and cloud options provides deployment flexibility, though technical support feedback is mixed. Planview Daptiv offers easier scalability with its cloud-based deployment. Customer service is praised, although technical support experiences vary.

Pricing and ROI: Broadcom Clarity's higher pricing aligns with its comprehensive features, suitable for large-scale implementations where ROI becomes clearer. Licensing complexities can affect costs for enterprises needing full functionality. Planview Daptiv offers a flexible pricing model, cost-effective for simpler needs; however, role-based licensing might lead to higher costs for full permissions.

Broad perspective on strategic management exists but integration challenges hinder efficiency

The product execution part, such as planning and executing, is done through Atlassian tools, specifically Jira. We wanted to upgrade our ability to understand how all these products and teams are working against strategic goals, tracking expenses and time, but the integration between Broadcom Clarity and Atlassian Jira is very cumbersome and not straightforward. Their integration, even with ConnectALL, is just adequate, but it's never going to be great because they are actively trying to sell Rally. To make Broadcom Clarity a perfect product, I think with Jira, nothing can be done. To be fair, I don't know exactly how Rally integration works as I've only read about it, but I know that in marketing papers, it seems amazing with full-on integration, whereas with Jira, it just doesn't work that effectively.

Useful project management capabilities, beneficial dashboards, but project planning could improve

The areas that should be improved in Planview Daptiv are a subject that can be viewed differently depending on who you ask. I feel they should focus on excelling in one specific area rather than providing average capabilities in many areas. For example, their project planning software is satisfactory but not as advanced as Microsoft Projects. The same goes for the capacity planning tool and reporting capabilities, which can be improved upon by using custom Excel spreadsheets or by hiring a business analyst for additional support. In short, the biggest weakness of Daptiv is that it does not excel in any one area and only provides average performance. In a future release, it would be beneficial to have a undo button.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is very intuitive. Even if you do not have training documents or anything, you can start feeling your way around pretty easily."

"Perfect for centralized planning and viewing the capacity of work of each group which is developing applications"

"Easy to use, visually. The new UX is intuitive."

"CA PPM just outshines all other products in the Project Portfolio Management space in terms of capabilities, what it can do, and how it works."

"We just put all the data in one place and hopefully, after we have accurate data, we can make more decisions based on real data rather than gut feeling."

"These features are useful in better organizing projects and resources for the PMO in our organization, and reporting is helpful in seeing a clear picture of project health at the project and portfolio level so that practitioners make informed decisions."

"The support is good and the supporters skilled."

"It has improved communication vertically, with some amount of data to be able to show that more resources are necessary, or why projects aren't moving as fast as management would like. That sort of communication makes my job a lot easier."

More Broadcom Clarity pros

"Consequently, it is the single point of truth for both our project managers and our senior leadership."

"It's difficult to pinpoint just one most valuable feature, as there are many features that can be beneficial. For the specific use case of my client's project management office, they found the project management features of the application to be particularly valuable, such as project boards, reporting, and the ability to customize views. Additionally, task management and project scheduling were also highly utilized. However, capacity planning was not used as much as the others, as there was a lack of support from executives to invest in training and implementing it due to a lack of processes in place. The project planning features, dashboard, and reporting capabilities were considered the most valuable."

"The powerful collaboration is definitely the most valuable and the fact that you can adjust flexibility to almost any methodology, and the easy creation of complete new functionalities without programming code."

"Daptiv templates give you a world of possibilities, no matter the PMI maturity level the company has."

"The experience with Changepoint has been great considering that most organizations won't use 90% of the application's features."

"Reporting of IT capacity available for first time, time sheets available for first time."

"The most valuable features are resource allocation and capacity planning."

"Changepoint allowed us to model resource request/assignment workflow in our large PS organization."

More Planview Daptiv pros

Cons

"It could be a real improvement to change the UI behavior, to work more in the foreground."

"Ease of use, the user experience has been our biggest obstacle to overcome."

"The solution could improve the way the workflow is developed. I think they could be more dynamic because they are in a way static."

"I rate it a seven out of 10 overall because they are still using SOAP functionalities."

"We use JIRA, so I'd definitely want PPM integrated with that."

"Currently the Data Warehouse does not store or archive historical data; anytime you run the Full Load to load it with data, the table is truncated and reloaded with a specific time interval of data."

"Financials are okay, but there's a lot of room for improvement in financials.Financial plans, if those could be made so that you're not always grouping your financial data by predefined attributes, that would be helpful for us."

"I wish patches would be quicker since we're a SaaS customer, and just be a non-event, so we don't have to go through a whole - essentially - upgrade cycle, just to do a patch. As a SaaS customer, I'd like the patch to just happen."

More Broadcom Clarity cons

"I find the solution has an excessive amount of features. Many aren't even kept current."

"The areas that should be improved in Planview Daptiv are a subject that can be viewed differently depending on who you ask. I feel they should focus on excelling in one specific area rather than providing average capabilities in many areas. For example, their project planning software is satisfactory but not as advanced as Microsoft Projects. The same goes for the capacity planning tool and reporting capabilities, which can be improved upon by using custom Excel spreadsheets or by hiring a business analyst for additional support. In short, the biggest weakness of Daptiv is that it does not excel in any one area and only provides average performance."

"Accessing some functions is a bit obscure and requires some knowledge of how the product works, but the upgrade from v2012 to 2014 improved that situation and I expect the upcoming upgrade to 2017 to further streamline operations."

"It would also be nice to see some improvements on the IBM Cognos Analytics. There's still work to be done on the analytics side of things, like your condition formality."

"Expense management, simulation scenarios, and budget control could be great and useful features to include."

"I find the solution has an excessive amount of features. Many aren't even kept current. Some aren't useful at all. There's an overall lack of coherence within the solution. It can make the execution difficult. Many features can easily be eliminated and it would help streamline the solution. They should get rid of 80% of the features and then really focus on the leftover 20% to make it a really great product."

"I would say there is too much work that has to go into the configuration up front and for the first 6 months to 1 year after, which costs time, money, and resources, and it is not a very advanced tool and seems interface-wise to be behind the times."

"This solution needs more standard connectors to other solutions i.e. to Infor ERP, Confluence, ..."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"The licensing costs are a little bit high, and unfortunately, it has been a while since I've had that paperwork in front of me. I don't remember how much it was, but it seemed like it was fairly high. It is probably comparable to some of the other solutions because I do know that, for example, on a lot of the AWS stuff, they found that the costs wound up being higher than having some on-prem solution. Comparatively, Clarity is within the price range of other solutions."

"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."

"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."

"Better understanding of requirements and how it will be implemented (with number of licenses for a given budget) would help."

"The price of Broadcom Clarity PPM is reasonable. My customers pay a license to use this solution on an annual basis."

"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."

More Broadcom Clarity pricing and cost advice

"It's a yearly license, but it's not an open license. It's based on users and their roles. So your administrator is priced differently from your timesheet user."

"The licensing is pretty complex. Each kind of user is a different price. It's approximately $300 per year. They charge additional fees for technical support and other additional services."
