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 makes it easier to compare different opportunities, and to track the metrics though the process. It helps us make better choices of which opportunities to go after and not go after."

"Project Management features that are excellent in managing the Project Management Life-cycle, along with other related details like Financials, Resources and flexibility to customize, as per requirement."

"We are able to track budgets, and with timesheets, actuals against budgets."

"Just the capability of it is really blowing my mind so far."

"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."

"It helps all the portfolio managers and the program managers to take stock of the financial situation at the program and portfolio level, because it rolls up all the financials at the product level."

"It puts the right resource at the right place at the right time."

"Provides an overall picture, it gives you the ability to store your capex, capital and expense budgets, on projects."

More Broadcom Clarity pros

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

"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."

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

"The timekeeping features are great and very helpful."

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

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

More Planview Daptiv pros

Cons

"A little bit better financial management. Right now it is more accountant-related, the financial management - of course, it's finance, it has to be financial. But it should be a little bit easier for project managers."

"Our environment is fairly stable, but it is not as fast as what we'd like."

"Some people have expressed interest in how we are doing the time tracking stuff because we have a separate time tracking system, and then within TFS we also track hours and our effort levels there."

"The interface needs improvement."

"Maybe we need to bring some financial executive reports to our directors and executives. Maybe we can improve the use of Jaspersoft."

"I think it needs better reporting. The reports should be more user-friendly as they're currently hard to understand."

"As far as a tool that communicates with resources, with individuals - what they're supposed to do next or what action items came out of what meeting - it's not really used that way. Probably I could envision a way that it would be used that way. Until it's as easy as sending an email, it probably won't be utilized by the resources in that manner."

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

More Broadcom Clarity cons

"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."

"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."

"Limited unless you purchase additional support hours."

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

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

"The user interface is quirky and does not always conform to the expected Microsoft UI standards."

"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."

"This solution needs more standard connectors to other solutions."

More Planview Daptiv cons

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."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

More Broadcom Clarity pricing and cost advice

"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."
