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

"The new UI makes it easier for people to go in there and know what to do. To train people, it's faster, more intuitive."
"Based on my use of the tool, my ability to look at data in the interface itself, or to get data out of it, export data to do additional manipulations and digging, or what have you, I would say, to me, it was not difficult to use, it was straightforward, it was logical."
"It helps a lot with the automation and manual processes to go faster."
"Stability is awesome."
"The ability to have all of the data in one place from risks and issues to resource capacity and actual utilization is going to be really beneficial to our users."
"It allows us to manage everything, and in terms of business value, its best features are about managing money and financials."
"It is easier to use than most other products that are out there, and it will provide us the transparency we need in our organization to see how work is being managed and moving along."
"PPM provides the ability for staff (employees and contractors) in the entire IT organization to track time against specific investments and other work, and we can extract the data to analyze what our resources are working on."
"The experience with Changepoint has been great considering that most organizations won't use 90% of the application's features."
"The timekeeping features are great and very helpful."
"I like the reporting engine, IBM Cognos, especially the analytics. That's a good tool. It's quite strong on the ideation and capacity-planning side, which is a huge plus."
"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."
"The most valuable features are resource allocation and capacity planning."
"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."
"Changepoint gives us a view of the project status and needs very clearly, which are things that we used to miss with MS Project and Excel."
"The timekeeping features are great and very helpful."
 

Cons

"Tech support and customer service on the part of CA is very lacking."
"We have not deployed the latest version, but a problem we are seeing is the inability to get data out of the system and into Excel."
"I would like to see more features around the data warehouse analytics reporting. At the same time, I would like to see some more functionality on the UI side."
"​​I would really like a modern UI. I do not want to get on a user interface and feel like I am in the 1990's.​"
"I struggle also from a maintenance and support perspective. Now, I am going to be maintaining both new UX screens, which the blueprints make look like it is going to be really easy, but we would still have to be maintaining new UX screens as well as classic views for those functionalities that are not yet available in the new UX."
"We just upgraded to 14.2, and when we went from 13.1 to 13.3, we were very buggy."
"We want to get to know the CR functionality. We want to get a better picture of how to incorporate CR into our regular functionality."
"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."
"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."
"Limited unless you purchase additional support hours."
"The user interface is quirky and does not always conform to the expected Microsoft UI standards."
"This solution needs more standard connectors to other solutions i.e. to Infor ERP, Confluence, ..."
"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."
"The previous solution that we were using was Projector PSA; it was overall a superior 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."
"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."
 

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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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 subscription is not that expensive."
"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."
"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."
"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."
