Clarizen: A plug-and-play PMIS
Currently, Clarizen is being used by only a small subset of our organization—mostly just our team; with the possibility of it being rolled out to other teams in the future. We use Clarizen as the foundation to manage our implementation and migration projects—internal and client-facing. Clarizen helps provide a clear picture to each of us as PMs, our management and leaders, and our clients in regards to our project progress. It ensures that we are tracking appropriately, allows us to maintain accountability to our internal resources, but also the client, and can be used upwards to reflect team capacity, ability to meet key performance metrics, and overall project success.
- Project tracking
- KPI / KPA measuring
- Project process documenting
- Meeting management
- Integration with Outlook or JIRA
- Better client facing views to share
The product is being used to manage a variety of projects. Everything from true IT projects with a variety of staff, needs, and steps, to smaller non-IT projects with very few stages. It's used because it is easy to use, and easy to track and report against. The product is also less intimidating to use for newer or non-IT staff than the tried and true (MS Project).
- Simpler and more intuitive to use than other big name products.
- Provides the ability to easily use templates, and cuts down on building projects.
- Being different than say, MS Project, if you have a lot of seasoned staff, may be frustrating for those users.
- Some of the automated features are too automated, and not always desirable.
It's a good experience overall. Clarizen was useful when needed. It's mostly needed for advice on how to do more sophisticated actions or how to change something that was set up administratively. It's seldom used otherwise. The product consistently works, the documentation is acceptable, and the generally intuitive product is easy enough for most staff to pick up without much issue.

Clarizen Review
Clarizen is used as a project management and time tracking solution for the organization. This includes client onboarding, ongoing work and tracking time for each task, as well as aggregating the hours worked by employees overall. This helps us forecast work and understand where someone needs assistance or who can assist.
- Project Management for ongoing and implementation work.
- Time tracking.
- Forecasting future workload.
- The system can glitch and have slowdowns.

Clarizen - Great for Teams
The professional services departments use Clarizen to manage customer implementations. It helps us track project cost/scope/time and also allows us to keep project records tied to that information. We store information about project contacts, documents like the statement of work, requirements, and signatures on the project plan. We use color coding to track project statuses and we add notes which are pushed to internal management teams about the project status.
- Real time updates: as a web based solution when I update a timeline my manager and team can see the updates as soon as they refresh their view
- Highlighting what changes and the critical path: I can set up a view that marks items on the critical path and I can set up a view to highlight any dates that change based on a change I make earlier in the plan. This makes slashing timelines much much easier than most programs.
- Collaborative notes: you can @ team members when adding notes. This is a great way to share project specific comments and also the system keeps a record of these conversations which can be useful for post mortems.
- Reports: You can create custom reports and share them with your team so they can pull similar reports for their own projects
- Export: I'm not wild about the export options. We created a custom project plan formatter to turn the ugly export in CSV to a customer facing color coded PDF. It's not super easy to give your customers something pretty to look at (although they do offer PPTs)
- Gantt Charts: All I want in life is a nice little high level set of milestones to pop into a slide I'm showing to a steering committee. It's just not something the system does. I've just had to screen shot a hard to read gantt from the system or recreate in PPT or Visio. No fun
- Speed: I am not sure what's going on here but Clarizen can be pretty slow to update small changes to project plans. It's rough when you have a laundry list of changes to make but the system is waiting
We are using Clarizen across the organization in all departments. We are using Clarizen for project and request management, reporting, budgeting, and billing purposes.
It serves all our needs in operations, billing, efficiency, tracking, and ensuring projects are worked and handled within the budget and stipulated time.
It serves all our needs in operations, billing, efficiency, tracking, and ensuring projects are worked and handled within the budget and stipulated time.
- Clarizen has flexibility to be collaborated with Salesforce and other existing tools.
- Clarizen is very customization friendly to meet user needs.
- It has easily available inbuilt syntax, which helps the user to create the logic by its own to meet their desired need.
- Clarizen does not have feature to management request tracking on hourly basis.
- It does not have functionality to track or allocate requests automatically on the basis of FIFO.
- The reports dashboard cannot be transformed into the PPT.

Clarizen for Project and Request Management
Clarizen is used by our information systems teams/departments to support our manufacturing application changes. We handle all application projects, resources, time management, application support, and change requests. Clarizen is the most user-friendly project management and request system we have used with a built-in configuration that allows us to manage our workflows, including business testing and approvals.
- User-friendly interface. This allowed us to implement Clarizen with very minimal training. The system has six to a dozen ways of doing the same thing which allows flexibility. Also, the mobile app is fully functional and just as friendly to use.
- Workflow. The workflow was easy to configure and setup.
- Auditing. Although we needed the audit features that out-of-the-box provided. The configuration and set up allowed for quick and maintainable auditing as needed. Clarizen PS provided insight and support as we set up 90% of our environment configuration.
- Integrations: How you set up your environment (configuration) and added features or proprietary fields could adjust your integration needs. Therefore, specific integrations between 3rd party systems can be "proprietary" to your company. The API calls and rest service out of the box work well, on the other hand.
- Building the Clarizen Marketplace applications

Clarizen, time tracking, but on a smaller scale
Our team used to use Clarizen to track employee time and expenses. Time tracking is imperative to what we do, and we use the information we gain from time tracking in numerous ways across our organization. From a project management standpoint, Clarizen was the software we turned to house and mine that data, while also tracking expense reports.
- Time tracking functionality. This was probably the most important aspect of Clarizen for us, and as far as time tracking software goes, it gets the job done.
- Expense report functionality
- Backend reports and analytics of time tracking
- Yes, Clarizen has time tracking functionality. But in the end, so does much other software, and they do it with a better, less confusing interface which is one of the reasons our organization ended up switching. The platform was crowded and made it confusing for users who only used it to track time (like me).
- Our organization also wanted software that would better house PTO information, in addition to time tracking, and Clarizen's program wasn't efficient enough.
- The point above also goes with expenses. We wanted a more diligent and robust expense report system. For our needs, Clarizen wasn't it.

The Single Most Important Thing You Need To Know About CLARIZEN
Clarizen is used across our entire organization for client project management, project financial reporting, and time and expense reporting. We use it as a core project management tool for our professional solutions, as well as for internal projects and time management.
- Highly customizable, can develop organization specific workflows, modules, etc.
- Interface (in most instances) is easy to use. Timesheets, project details, and report modules are fairly easy to navigate and understand.
- Good comms tools like discussions, group pages, automatic reminders and notifications.
- Reports can be difficult and confusing to build, and don't have a lot of flexibility in terms of layout or formulas.
- Expense reporting module is not user friendly, lacks ease of use of most competeing tools.
- Mobile app is limited in functionality and difficult to navigate.
- Integration with CRM and accounting tools can be difficult and costly, especially if you have customized your Clarizen build.

Clarizen too clouded by gratuitous features
Clarizen was implemented across the whole company when I started working here. It was used for time tracking, timesheet submission and client workload accountability. It addressed the problem of tracking time across multiple client projects in an accountable way for the HR team but was not well liked by the general users.
- Clarizen's timesheet submission process was straightforward.
- Searching for projects/time codes was easy.
- Clarizen tried to offer workplace management and communication features, though we did not use them.
- The user interface could use work, it's very busy.
- For our purposes, Clarizen had too much going on. We did not use the "status" or chat features, it should try to focus on doing some things very well instead of being an all-in-one offering.

Clarizen review
Clarizen is used through most of our business to push work orders through from salesforce and assign work to resources throughout the company. It helps to provide structure and organize when projects are going to complete.
- It is easy to set dependencies for tasks throughout larger projects to know when a resource finishes a piece of the project when the next part will begin
- It is easy to save off project templates to be used for common projects
- Clarizen conversations and logging information is fairly easy to use through the site.
- I still use reporting through salesforce. It seems to be a lot harder to use in clarizen the few times I have tried to use it.
- It would be great if attachments on the salesforce Work orders automatically attached and pulled through to clarizen so we dont have to upload them twice.

Clarizen, great for project management across large orgnizations
Our company has hundreds of projects running at the same time. Clarizen is used for planning out work weeks, time tracking and internal communication across teams.
- Resource Allocation - Understand how many projects are going at once, forecasts how many hours are needed to complete a project and understand which resource is the best fit for the project.
- Internal Communication - Clarizen allows for a place to discuss specific tasks or projects between the project team. The ability to leave notes on the task level allows the entire team to review decision points and helpful information that has caused a delay.
- Gantt charts and combining all projects our company is working on to view at an overall level could be better.
- Better/easier connectivity with other 3rd party software that we use on a day to day basis would be helpful.

Clarizen - All the bells and whistles in a complicated interface
Clarizen was used by my marketing agency as a way to manage employee bookings, track time and manage travel arrangements. There were many functions of Clarizen that we didn't use, but it was a way for us to see which resources (people) had availability to work on upcoming projects and also keep track of individual time on multiple projects (most people were working on many tasks at once).
- Make it possible to see current and future bookings of all resources.
- Serve as a central hub for timekeeping and travel arrangements.
- Make it easy to keep track of your own personal time spent on projects.
- The interface was hard to navigate (e.g., you'd have to click multiple times to get to some of the screens you needed to use most).
- It was a relatively complicated system to learn so it created the need for lots of onboarding.
- Most people in my office found it frustrating to use and overly complicated for what we needed it to do.

Clarizen makes it easy!!!!
Our team uses Clarizen as a project management tool. It helps us set up timelines for our clients. Our users can make sure the project remains on track, lets them enter notes and we can also see the status of other projects for the same client within our company.
- Ease of use - Clarize is really user-friendly and easy to learn.
- Very customizable - Clarizen can be customized in many different ways and even has workflows that automate tasks for you.
- Customer Service - Clarizen customer service is always friendly and helpful.
- Workflows sometimes don't run.
- Disconnect between project and task levels.

Clarizen is Effective But could use slight improvment
Clarizen is being used by all account managers. It helps identify resource conflicts and helps with timeline management.
- Identify timeline. Clarizen is very appropriate for timeline management and keeping tasks on schedule.
- Easily transferable to other colleagues. Our company requires transparency through projects and Clarizen is great at that.
- Revenue reporting. Clarizen has many features that allow for accurate and timely revenue projections and revenue recognition.
- It's very program heavy. There is a lot of coding. If this could be simplified I think that would be great
- There's so much in it, I don't think it's clear on its capabilities. So many features are being lost. I think we need to improve the communication with our point of contact at Clarizen to explain other features. We may know all that are applicable to use, I'm not sure.
- The layout could use very slight modifications. There is often a lot being displayed that can be overlooked.

Clarizen availability for any user
Our organization primarily uses Clarizen through Professional Services. It is used to manage all the accounts of the customers.
- Easy organization of customs.
- Easy customization.
- Easily accessible by all parties regardless of if they are in the field or office, being cloud-based is a huge advantage.
- More functionality for UI customization
- Easier navigation and ability to limit users to certain aspects
- Slow response times

Highly Configurable SaaS Tool with Great Overall Value
- The Clarizen tool (V6) is likely the most configurable SaaS tool available in the PPM world - especially when it comes to the user interface. Meeting a company's need for custom fields & workflows to support unique processes is a major selling point of the tool.
- Training and support for the tool is nearly unprecedented - there is high involvement from Clarizen staff to ensure both Administrators & End-Users have the assistance they need to utilize the breadth and depth of the offering in both a highly usable & highly available manner.
- I believe one of Clarizen's strongest points of appeal is that it seems to be able to uniquely meet the needs of the SMB all the way up to true enterprise requirements for PMO's.
- While V6 has brought with it a phenomenal amount of customization of the entire user-interface, I think there is a need for Clarizen to strike a better balance in providing a greater set of pre-configured interface & workflow options for those organizations that don't need that level customization, as it can be overwhelming.
- The weakest point of Clarizen today in my mind is the "interactive" Gantt - it is surprisingly limited in configuration options and somewhat clunky in its current design.
- -- That being said, I know that within 2014 they have committed to rolling out a new interactive Gantt consistent with their updated HTML5 UI overhaul and based on the innovation updates, looks very promising.
- Though it's understandable from the need to "support" the infrastructure (and from a revenue perspective, I'm sure), I think the current licensing limitations on workflow rules, but more importantly custom field creation, as well as the process by which those limitations are "calculated" is a little convoluted.
- The mobile "app" is desperately in need of some work - it does very little in terms of value of end-users.
- -- Again, that being said, I know that within 2014 they have committed to rolling out a new mobile app that more consistent with the main UI standards.

Clarizen grants flexibility without sacrifice
- Clarizen merges a host of project, resource, and time management tools under one, integrated solution.
- It improves visibility to our performance data. Up until now, we've had to use custom solutions or time consuming deep-dives to find out the facts.
- It doesn't give good direction for how to do the things it does well. Some other PSA software have a method they ask you to adopt. Clarizen is almost too flexible out of the box, but it's also a strength.

Clarizen - A PMO's Best Friend
Clarizen is currently being utilized by the Tulare County Information and Communications Technology Departments PMO for project management. When we made the selection and subsequent move to Clarizen we were using Sciforma (PSNext) which held many problems that needed to be solved. For example:
- A lack of project metrics, which led to “guesswork” on behalf of project managers and the PMO
- Weak or non-existent effort data, which made it impossible to accurately track time spent on projects
- An absence of work notes -- the PMO had no idea what was going on outside of weekly project meetings
- Sciforma was only being used by PMO staff and not by project teams
- Resource Utilization, Considering prior to using Clarizen resource utilization was guesswork on the part of the Project Manager I would have to say having any realistic visibility much less the excellent level Clarizen provides is only to be said as exceptional.
- Clarizen API, We made heavy use of the API integrating Clarizen with two core systems already in use at TCiCT. We integrated actual effort with Service-Now and our homegrown time management software.
- Project Reporting, Clarizen provides an excellent built in reporting tool that as of late is only getting better with the ability to create custom dashboards directly through the software. Providing management with well laid out project metric data is as important as keeping your project on schedule.
- Honestly I am so impressed with what Clarizen can do I haven't had time to stop and think about what it doesn't. If I had to pick something I would say it could provide a graphical interface for simple workflow rules.

Clarizen: The Tie That Binds
Clarizen is used to manage and coordinate activities for a portfolio of projects utilizing a shared resource pool. Prior solutions could not adequately manage resource workload. Clarion offers high-level and detailed views so we know that projects will be completed on time.
- Resource planning
- Reporting
- Ad hoc queries
- Advanced project management
- Assigning multiple managers to work items
- License structure supports anemic customization capabilities (Professional) or robust (Enterprise); nothing in between.

Clarizen Review
- Allows you to generate projects for any accounts that you're working with and mark each task complete as they are finished.
- Allows you to create templates for specific product offerings to be re-used when a new project for the product begins.
- Allows you to track time spent on a project (this can be done either at the project or the task level)
- Allows you to generate status reports that will be e-mailed to you and then you can edit and forward to the client/team members
- Allows you to generate customized reports
- I would like to see an improved Issues Log that is more easily maintainable for each project.
- I would like to see the roadmap that can be shared with a client be formatted more like a high level project plan

Clarizen Review - Alorica
Clarizen is utilized by all departments in the organization to manage projects large and small of both internal and external nature. Clarizen addresses the core business problem of collaborative project implementations through an easy and user friendly solution. The application is accessible both via the web and mobile devices providing extraordinary flexibility to the project team thus bypassing long interval updates.
- Social collaboration - Clarizen's platform allows project participants to interact in real-time through a plethora of channels.
- Reporting and Dashboards - Clarizen provides a flexible reporting and dashboard approach that provides a wealth of information at your fingertips.
- Process automation - Scheduled workflow rules allow for increased efficiency for report automation, change/risk management and project accuracy.
- Backend UI - At times Clarizen can be complicated to customize requiring a higher than normal skillset and or/professional service engagement.
- Exchange Integration - Clarizen does not have a exchange integration option which requires users to navigate away from the platform.
- Training - Clarizen training curriculum is not current (YouTube, Clarizen University, etc) which leaves a gap in implementation and or ongoing support.

Clarizen - best project management program I have seen
Clarizen is currently being implemented in our organization to manage new projects and change management procedures.
- Clarizen provides an up to date format for easy user interaction.
- It allows visibility of project status to help minimize email traffic.
- It allows external customers access to specific projects to allow them to stay on top of the projects with you.
- The on-boarding experience helped us stay on track to implement the program into our company.
- It was difficult to determine what level company participants should be in order to be the most effective but least costly.
- The sales team could be a little pushy to get you signed on with in a certain time frame.
- There was some confusion about upgrade potential and capability to down grade if necessary.
- 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.
- Online training
- In-person training
- Self-taught
