Broadcom Clarity is an all-in-one project and portfolio management solution that has numerous use cases across multiple industries. Users have been able to streamline workflows and improve the overall efficiency of their operations, leading to better strategic decision-making. With Clarity, users can process payroll in-house, resulting in a faster turnaround time for payroll processing days. This solves the problem of delayed payments and improves employee satisfaction.

The software also enables the creation of change requests and tickets, as well as centralized service desk management. Users can track tickets, problems, and incidents with greater transparency, ensuring cross-teams can work more closely together. Additionally, Clarity helps in managing the work of team members by tracking user stories and all requests, changes, and incidents using the software. The tool allows for automation with little human intervention, which streamlines work among various departments of the organization. Furthermore, the software provides insights and reports that are very intuitive, making it easier for users to establish PMO standards by utilizing CA PPM as the centralized enterprise tool.

In summary, users have experienced significant benefits from using Broadcom Clarity. By enabling project managers to negotiate the use of resources with resource managers using the tool, key financials can be tracked to manage costs associated with various investments. The accuracy and completeness of information have improved resulting in better strategic decisions surrounding investments and project portfolios. Additionally, disparate tools have been reduced by relying on Clarity as a central repository for all data related to projects and portfolios which has led to increased operational efficiencies.

Customizable Interface: Users appreciate the customizable interface of Broadcom Clarity, which surpasses that of its competitors. Some reviewers found it easy to use for normal users and comfortable for administrators and business users.

Robust Functionality: Many reviewers applaud the robust functionality of Broadcom Clarity. They found that it can be configured to meet an organization's needs with minimal effort. Additionally, they appreciated how it helps manage projects, resources, financials, and portfolios using scorecards to objectively analyze and compare requirements across the complete portfolio.

Easy Resource Allocation: The software is praised by many users for allowing managers to allocate project resources easily. According to some reviewers, consultants can see where they have been assigned while managing multiple releases and keeping track of all aspects of the release cycle.

Outdated UI: Users have expressed frustration with the outdated user interface of Broadcom Clarity. Many users feel that the UI is not intuitive and requires a lot of clicking to complete tasks such as submitting timesheets or generating reports. Some reviewers also noted invalid calculations and slow report generation, which adds to the difficulty in using the software.

Limited mobile functionality: Several users complained about the lack of core features like task splitting options in Broadcom Clarity's mobile app. Reviewers also found that there were limited customization options available on the mobile interface, making it less user-friendly than desktop usage.

Customization complexity: Many users felt overwhelmed by the extensive configuration options offered by Broadcom Clarity, leading to over-customization and complexity. This makes it difficult for new users without proper training documentation and guidance to navigate through all these functionalities effectively.

Based on user reviews, the software has received several recommendations:

  1. Set up assignment groups and assigned users correctly to ensure accurate ticket assignment.
  2. Review all aspects of the system and understand the complexity of customization.
  3. Consider other ticketing systems to ensure that CA meets specific requirements.

Users suggest taking the time to learn and get used to the software, as it may take some time to become familiar with its features. They find it user-friendly for tracking working hours and managing resources, but note that it can be slow at times. Some users find it hard to navigate and recommend further improvements in structuring it better. Additionally, users advise trying other tools with built-in alerts and easier customization of reports if those features are important for specific requirements.

Overall, users recommend CA PPM as a primary tool for project management, especially if other CA Technologies are being used. However, they also suggest exploring other options before making a decision and considering additional customization options available in different software solutions.
