(1-5 of 5)- Flexible, intuitive, but with the right balance of controls. This features in this product allow us to enable business processes as we grow.
- You really need to know what you want and how your users will work in the system; the flexibility can be both a strength and a weakness.
- Prefer not to disclose, but was an order of magnitude savings.
Clarizen was better suited to our immediate needs and long-term goals.
- We use Clarizen for portfolio, program, and project management and communication.

A well rounded, full featured, SaaS Project Management tool.
- Clarizen provides a best of breed out of the box solution to project management. This is a fantastic tool for new companies or those looking to start fresh with a new approach. Clarizen will redefine the way you schedule projects if used correctly.
- Clarizen provides easy insight into resource utilization and can adapt to a company's preferred methodology. It offers work forward and backward scheduling, and allows the user to define how projects are completed, via total effort or time spent. Time spent can be represented in monetary values to help track the expenditures of a project in line with each task. Time and effort are recorded by time sheets, which end users fill out. Both Effort and Time can be tracked separately, meaning that efficiency can be measured. Further more, when scheduling, estimated time can be used to plan, but once completed an actual time spent is recorded to measure the difference between the time estimated for a task and the actual time required. This is particularly useful with templates.
- Clarizen offers the ability to create templates of projects. Depending on the preferred methodology, these can be scheduled backwards or forwards from the desired start/finish date. Calrizen does an excellent job of updating due dates and project completeness, as well as providing alerts for when a project falls behind schedule.
- Workflows are simple to setup, even for a more novice user. This makes easy to reduce required user input, curb the chances of error and perform custom calculations. Custom fields can also be added, and if matched correctly with fields created in other CRM platforms such as Salesforce, it is possible to have the two sync and share information. Having easy and reliable Salesforce integration was a must.
- Unless already using a typical textbook project management process, don't expect it to align with existing methodologies. Some customization can be made, but expect to change your processes to more closely match the tool's. This isn't a bad thing, it just requires change.
- Like very other tool out there, this depends on user input. If users do not embrace Clarizen and use it regularly, all of these features will be rendered useless, as the information being tracked will not be up to date. Projects will fall behind, estimates will be wrong. Find a way to tie user's utilization of the tool (include accuracy) to their job. It needs to be required if the tools is to be effective.
- With regards to Salesforce syncing, Clarizen does not sync to near as granular of a level as implied on Clarizen's website. Furthermore much of the information can only be synced one way, from Clarizen to Salesforce. Projects can be initiated and created through Salesforce, but must be managed via Clarizen's website. If using a separate CRM tool such as Salesforce, this requires users to log into and use two tools separately, which can make things difficult.
- The user interface, while robust can be, at times, overwhelming. Using custom views can help stem the overload.
Clarizen has excellent support and a great knowledge base for users at any skill level.
I would recommend Clarizen to companies looking for an out of the box solution that just works. It's basic feature set is robust, supports the import of Microsoft Project files, and can have a very positive affect on the efficiency of both managers and employees alike.
- Allowed for a significant increase into the life cycle of projects and the time each task that comprised them took to complete.
- Positively improved reputation with larger clients who used similar tools to manage projects.
- Increased employee efficiency when used correctly. Project Managers were able to schedule projects faster using templates and manage them easier with reporting.
- Cost was easily justified in the time saved by end users once correctly set up.
Furthermore, the cost per user could easily be justified in time savings. Project Managers frequently found themselves saving several hours a week, which allowed them to take on more work an concentrate on providing quality service to our customers instead of diving into the gritty details of scheduling a project by hand.

Clarizen, Try It You Will Love It!
- Easy to track time in projects and see what is going on from a high level.
- I'm not completely satisfied with the reporting. I have access to the Excel plug-in, but system users run ad-hoc reports directly in Clarizen. The issue is that the tables are not relational. For example, if someone wants to run a project comparing project variables to timesheets, they have to build pivot tables which is daunting for many users. Ideally, we would have a company wide reporting infrastructure that we could use in conjunction with Clarizen and we are starting to look into acquiring an appropriate data analytics / visualization tool.
- The Clarizen system comes with some pre-set flags that are based on industry benchmarks. While these can be useful, they do not always apply, and I wish we could turn them or at least modify them to meet our own criteria. For example, red flags sometimes get generated if a budget is off track or a project is a day late. But these are often not real issues and we would like to be able to clear the red flags or set our own thresholds.
- We were able to sail through our audits with ease and quick resolve based on having all the information in one place - in Clarizen.
- Project Management.
- Portfolio Management.
- Time Tracking.
There were many different reasons why we chose Clarizen but ease of use, functionality and price and adaptability were our top reasons.

- An, as yet, unnamed reporting tool. We are looking at purchasing a company wide analytics / reporting tool which we would plug into multiple data sources (Cisco, Mozy, NexCom Mobility) including Clarizen.
Integration is the Achilles Heel.
- They do a good job of project management, time tracking. They do very well what their core purpose is
- It is easy to configure, intuitive. The customization process is in some ways better than Salesforce.com. It has a great UI.
- They are a great group of people. They have sent people on site. They are a great company to work with.
- Integration – any SAAS provider has to have seamless integration in mind. They have a lot of work to do, but they are getting there. The amount of development required has been very intensive to get it to work
- Clarizen can only accept data imports (data loads) from MS Project – because of that we couldn’t import data from Basecamp. That means we have had to continue to use Basecamp in parallel to finish those projects.
- Only accepting MS project for imports is a huge oversight
- Communication with 3rd parties e.g. customers – Basecamp does that much better.
- They are based in Israel, so that presents a few challenges like you cannot access on Fridays (Saturday in Israel). They now have opened a small office in San Francisco to alleviate this problem
- It is too early to tell. We just officially launched on 8/1. We were doing a pilot before hand. The pilot group have been in it since May.
- Time tracking.
- Understanding how much does a customer cost.
- Tracking what products and features have gone live.
- Technical staff backlog.
- Resourcing teams – all the way from manager to individuals. Teams are automatically assigned based upon criteria we establish.
