  • 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.
Best suited for SMB companies - low financial impact and great value.
  • The Clarizen tool has greatly increased not only the visibility of projects across our internal organization, but has been able to allow us to provide better, more consistent project visibility to our customers as well.
  • Having a single place that is accessible on-demand for managing projects across our team has been a huge gain in efficiency.

The bottom line is that the tool is always accessible and easy to use. The value pricing means it's well worth the investment and is easily justifiable.
  • Implemented in-house
Reports: Quick to Reasonable Most Ancillary Pages: Quick to Reasonable (By "ancillary" I mean lesser used/master data maintenance pages - e.g. People, Customers, Individual Tasks, Milestones, etc.) Work Plan (with 100 sub items): Reasonable to Slow

  • 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.
This is the fourth PSA I've used and/or administered. So far, it's the one that does the most and is most flexible. It can be molded to fit a larger number of organizations than the previous offerings I've used or the half-dozen we looked at during our review process.
  • Recapturing productive time that was lost in the fog before.
  • Accurate profitability and performance figures. Now, we can capture it in near real-time, as opposed to one hour to one week delays before.

I hardly ever give a perfect score. Too much can change over time. Overall, though, I don't see us migrating away.
It's easy to access and frequently offered. Often I'm amongst only a few people on the call and get virtually individual attention. I also learn and share with the other attendees and we can see how we've each solved similar challenges.

  • 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.
Smart Sheets and Task Ray
Clarizen was better suited to our immediate needs and long-term goals.
  • We use Clarizen for portfolio, program, and project management and communication.
We have seen nothing better in the market to meet our fast-paced and dynamic environment. And Clarizen support is outstanding.
We are a new company, this was our first implementation.
  • Implemented in-house
Their team made implementation easy.
  • Online training
  • In-person training
  • Self-taught
Yes! One of the primary reasons we selected Clarizen over other options.
Yes
They have been completely responsive and supportive, and the "on demand" flexibility for training and webinars fits perfectly with the needs of my team.

  • 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.
It has worked well for us so far and it took a long time to get the users to adopt it and use it on a regular basis, I cant think of anything that would make us want to change.
The people at Clarizen are great to work with, always willing to help you out and have been more than generous with their time and attention to our needs.

There were many different reasons why we chose Clarizen but ease of use, functionality and price and adaptability were our top reasons.
  • Implemented in-house
Need better examples and assistance with customization of workflow rules.
  • Online training
  • Self-taught
Many video tutorials, offers of webinars are available all the time.
The GUI is somewhat intuitive, but training is definitely needed.
To make the system as user friendly and adaptable as possible.
No
Have not decided to invest in additional support yet
Other than being in different time zones, the rapid response and resolution is amazing.
Ease of timecard use, Customization.
Sometimes it is slow when everyone is entering their time on Fridays or Mondays but other than that we rarely see downtime and maintenance notifications are well in advance.
Speed is very good considering the number of users that are on simultaneously.
  • 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.
Yes.
The salesperson is what really sold me on the product. Clarizen was not one of my top 5 choices until Gil Heiman really went the extra mile to do webinars, demos, send literature, answer questions, etc. He did a great job.
I was able to negotiate the Excel-Add In for reporting at no charge.
