We performed a comparison between Broadcom Clarity and Jira based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Project Management Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features are the project, resource, and portfolio management processes are combined in one solution. The data is possible to use either in the one or the other process, and we do not need to enter the data multiple times."
"For a very long time, Broadcom Clarity had not developed the old interface that Broadcom no and we were not able to see any new features on the system because of the older UEX. We switched to the new UX at the end of March and it needs some time for the user to react to the new features. But if overall main features are being talked about, the financial part of Clarity is really appreciated."
"Transparency and just having the ability to procure information that is pertinent."
"Absolutely, the most active community I have ever been on."
"The competency and available support are quite good, therefore we do not have any issues with support. Every time that we have a case where we need support, it is clarified right away."
"You can identify resources by roles."
"The new UI makes it easier for people to go in there and know what to do. To train people, it's faster, more intuitive."
"There were probably about five or six metrics that we used. As a result, the groups that I supported were consistently ranked at the absolute top of the organization, as we were leveraging these built-in tools for tracking."
"Jira is great for story management."
"We can integrate a lot of tools with the solution."
"The burndown chart is also helpful when it comes to reporting and allows us to know where we are going, especially during development."
"The way it interfaces with Bitbucket and other things like that is valuable. Reporting and being able to link various issues or stories together are also valuable. We call them stories, and they're general reports."
"The ability to design your own workflows is a great feature."
"Reports, analytics, and a ton of widgets, they are great and intuitive. Perfect for an agile team."
"Jira has a good reporting system. It also has an API, so we can do all sorts of reporting."
"We like team collaboration and cross-functional collaboration."
"One of the limitations would be mapping our current agile processes in the same tool set without obviously integrating to a different type of tool set within the same portfolio."
"The look and the feel of 14.4 is a bit antiquated."
"I want to see integration for SMS functionality."
"I think there's still a little bit of opportunity that we can do some stuff better in relation to the financial part of it; just that easier integration, that look and feel. Our project managers, and obviously finance people, love to interface and use of Excel. The more we can get CA PPM to behave in a similar way, which we're already starting to gain in that path, will be absolutely fantastic."
"The architecture must be improved."
"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."
"We see it as overhead. Let us collect all the data in one place. Which, it is always nice to have everything in one place, but it does cause that overhead."
"Could be using more updated technologies."
"Jira has recently updated their UI, but more can be done to make it even better."
"While it's very powerful, it's very complex sometimes."
"The performance and stability are visibly degrading since the database has been growing every year."
"Jira could provide more insight into sprints such as how did we perform in the last sprint compared to other sprints. It would be helpful to have metrics and a dashboard feature for others to see."
"I would like our clients' IT group to be able to have oversight without setting up agents. We're managing tickets, and I'd like their IT group to see everything we're doing without having to set them up as agents. There should be a better way of managing their users. I've got such requests, but Jira is expensive, and it is difficult to pay an agent fee for somebody else to view these tickets. Currently, the only way in which I can do that is by setting a user up as an agent, and it becomes cost-prohibitive. They need to do a better job on ticket viewers."
"I have had problems with performance and unresponsiveness. All of a sudden, the performance slowed down, and I had a number of users that could not use the tool."
"This solution would be improved with the inclusion of integration with SVN, and auto-sync with the build release number."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
