Clarizen's strength is reporting. Aside from reporting, I also like the ability to create customized workflow and custom actions. The workflow rules are handy. For example, you can create custom fields and dependent picklists.
Planview AdaptiveWork enhances project transparency and communication with stakeholders via the Clarizen Slide Publisher. It excels in reporting and customized workflows, automating tasks for efficient planning and boosting team productivity by showing decision impacts. Custom fields provide flexibility, though excessive customization can slow performance, especially on VPNs. The Slide Publisher's formatting is restrictive, and understanding its full capabilities can be complex without a development environment for testing workflows with live data.
