Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Nowadays, we have all managerial projects information into CA PPM solution, managed and administrated by planners and PMO roles, so we can report projects to all stakeholders in the same format with good information, besides having a unique and trustworthy repository."
"CA PPM just outshines all other products in the Project Portfolio Management space in terms of capabilities, what it can do, and how it works."
"It's definitely met and exceeded all our expectations with regards to the tool."
"Upgrades were pretty straightforward. CA took care of everything, we just did the testing."
"Across strategic initiatives, it's improved what we do, as we did not use to have cost tracking across the company."
"The most useful feature for me as an implementer of Broadcom Clarity PPM is its extensibility. The tool is pretty extensible, and I haven't had any issues with it in terms of it getting used for multiple scenarios and for multiple clients where there's a need for high customization. Broadcom Clarity PPM is a very, very customizable tool, so you can pretty much implement any business process on it with no issues."
"I’ve evaluated the other PPM tools and competitors and found that CA PPM is heads and shoulders above the rest."
"It's probably the best solution I've seen in my career."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that its workflows are really impressive."
 

Cons

"The install packages are the worst I’ve ever seen."
"There are some bumps in the road. Maybe these are more related to functionality, or things that appear on the way that you need to learn."
"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."
"I want to see integration for SMS functionality."
"The interface needs improvement."
"Many of our clients were not using some of these features, because of complexity and less customization facility, and I would like to see OOTB portlets on this product."
"Reporting is not good as they keep on changing reporting environment."
"We use JIRA, so I'd definitely want PPM integrated with that."
"The designs provided by Bubble Innovator have certain shortcomings that need improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"The subscription is not that expensive."
"The price of Broadcom Clarity PPM is reasonable. My customers pay a license to use this solution on an annual basis."
"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 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."
"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."
"Since I use Bubble Innovator to create applications for my company's clients, I feel the pricing part of the product is fair."
