End-to-end project management capabilities and offers seamless vendor and client contract alignment
The system is old, so there are several issues that arise when we fetch data from integrated systems. Sometimes the data gets stuck, and there are instances where we need to access multiple pieces of information simultaneously. This creates problems that I have personally experienced. Therefore, these aspects need to be much more free-flowing and seamless. If something gets stuck, it takes time to resolve, and during the contract phase, we have Service Level Agreements (SLAs). If those SLAs are breached, it becomes problematic. Given that there are approximately 3000 projects running concurrently worldwide, utilizing the system with a vast database and numerous activities taking place. It could benefit from decentralization. Currently, it operates as a central system, but if it could be centralized for specific subsidiaries, it would be easier for us to manage.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"You should really look at the tool itself because it's a really powerful tool, it can do a lot of things, cover a lot of ground quickly and it can easily be picked up, as far as skill sets go."
"The solution is technically fine and user friendly."
"The step from spreadsheet to this... We knew we were in a bad spot with the spreadsheet; we said, "Okay, let's take a good first step and get off of that and then we'll go from there"; it's really exciting and I'm hoping to see the tool mature and see how it really benefits organization in the future."
"It makes it easier to compare different opportunities, and to track the metrics though the process, helping us make better choices of which opportunities to go after and not go after, and to balance that with what we have for staffing so we know what we can actually staff."
"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."
"The benefit is using the Capacity Demand Model. We can use it to forecast and see the future trends for resource allocations and demands."
"I appreciate the report that shows how utilized a person is set to be within the coming months. I use that feature a good bit."
"For resource management, it's a very strong tool, has all the features that you would desire in a resource management tool, so we're very happy with that."
"With SAP Portfolio and Project Management we were able to have a full track of project progress and get useful insights about our projects."
"The integration portion with SAP models is valuable."
"SAP is gradually introducing more flexibility and customization options to the system, allowing users to adapt it to their specific needs."
"The SAP PPM software is a very complete solution."
"It improves productivity, cash flow management, and inventory control for clients."
"The stability is good, and I have nothing bad to say about it."
 

Cons

"​I would like to be able to do time submission and time approvals on mobile rather than have to go in the system."
"There is a lack of seamless integration with industry standard products."
"The development of third-party items such as Java JDK, Tomcat and browsers is usually so fast that the versions supported by CA PPM are not the most recent ones."
"Make transitions easier to implement, e.g. if a new portfolio comes along, it should be easy to integrate to the existing portfolios."
"One of the things that have always been a bit painful is the integration with reporting utilities."
"The product's stability needs improvement."
"They won't let me put a button on the UI."
"I want to see trends and how things change over time. Now, you only see what’s live in the system, and there's no way currently to see what yesterday’s project was and how it's changed."
"It would be valuable if SAP integrated seamlessly with some products like Jira and Bitbucket."
"The product itself could have an advanced analytics layer with an improved user interface that is adapted to the new digital era."
"The platform's support structure needs improvement."
"The system is old, so there are several issues that arise when we fetch data from integrated systems. Sometimes the data gets stuck, and there are instances where we need to access multiple pieces of information simultaneously."
"The initial support package of version 5.0 has some setup difficulties."
 

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."
"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."
"Better understanding of requirements and how it will be implemented (with number of licenses for a given budget) would help."
"Pricing is flexible, depending on the customer and the region."
"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."
"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."
"The price of Broadcom Clarity PPM is reasonable. My customers pay a license to use this solution on an annual basis."
"The product pricing varies based on whether the client is new or existing and the complexity of their business processes."
