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

"Transparency and just having the ability to procure information that is pertinent."
"The best thing is one single source to capture all our IT project information."
"It helps a lot with the automation and manual processes to go faster."
"We are able to track budgets, and with timesheets, actuals against budgets."
"Visibility is the number one feature, as they can see where the bottlenecks are, they can see what their project statuses are, why things are being held up, and have tangible financial specifics for accurate cost recovery and client billing."
"We have a centralized view that we can have in our delivery and business organizations.​"
"Every customer has achieved a return on investment within the first six months of implementation with Broadcom Clarity."
"The main benefit of the SaaS version is the cost; also, I'm not responsible for any server maintenance, which is nice, because if their servers go down, it's somebody else that gets a call at 3 a.m., not me."
"Daptiv templates give you a world of possibilities, no matter the PMI maturity level the company has."
"The timekeeping features are great and very helpful."
"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 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."
"I implemented for a large client of mine and saw them quickly get up and running and leverage Daptiv to help them manage their IT demand from their internal customers."
"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."
"Reporting of IT capacity available for first time, time sheets available for first time."
"Consequently, it is the single point of truth for both our project managers and our senior leadership."
 

Cons

"I don't know if it's missing or not, but I'm anxious to learn more about Agile and using the tool with Agile."
"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."
"​Maybe we need to bring some financial executive reports to our directors and executives. Maybe we can improve the use of Jaspersoft.​"
"The solution is lacking in certain integrations but that's generally the way because each organization has different preferences."
"The solution could improve the way the workflow is developed. I think they could be more dynamic because they are in a way static. They're very powerful, but they don't have any interaction with end-users."
"Additional enhancements to portfolios with the new user experience."
"There were some bugs in the old version that were supposed to be fixed but are not. Some features that needed to be added have never been added."
"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."
"Limited unless you purchase additional support hours."
"This solution needs more standard connectors to other solutions i.e. to Infor ERP, Confluence, ..."
"The previous solution that we were using was Projector PSA; it was overall a superior product."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Expense management, simulation scenarios, and budget control could be great and useful features to include."
"The user interface is quirky and does not always conform to the expected Microsoft UI standards."
 

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