"The feature that I have found most valuable is the XFlow, that interface is pretty cool."
"It is easier to use than most other products that are out there."
"The most valuable feature is the portfolio functionality because we have the ability to work with different scenarios and many kinds of financial management. We can integrate with ERP, and with other solutions from third-party vendors. The financial model in Broadcom Clarity PPM, it's the most valuable aspect."
"The solution is technically fine and user friendly."
"The performance is really good."
"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."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"To me, one of the most powerful features of Smartsheet is being able to email others."
"Smartsheet is easy to use."
"Smartsheet is stable."
"The dashboard feature is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"The tool reduces manual labour and it is user-friendly."
"For doing project plans what was really valuable is the ability to do a predecessor."
"The ability to build a quick dashboard and give management insight into the progress of the project itself is probably one of the most beneficial pieces."
"We use a product called TFS and we would definitely like to see integration with that. It's not there right now. Agile Central is the one that is integrated with."
"Whenever that second instance of Clarity came about, it was overwhelming even to people who were accustomed to working with program management tools."
"They won't let me put a button on the UI."
"I am going to be maintaining both new UX screens, which the blueprints make look like it is going to be really easy, but we would still have to be maintaining new UX screens as well as classic views for those functionalities that are not yet available in the new UX."
"I'd like to see blueprints. I'd also like to see the user interface simplified, and to have a lot of templates available on each blueprint."
"I think user-friendliness is the key. Right now it's really clunky. We're also looking to upgrade, but an upgrade is not going to fix everything. The new UX is good, but there are still a lot of limitations. Once they work through those kinks and get those limitations removed, we'll be able to upgrade."
"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 Work Breakdown Structure in the Tasks: I should be able to drag and drop to a level three instead of just stuck at level two."
"You were forced to create a new tab rather than add another sheet."
"Smartsheet could improve by having seamless integration with Azure Board."
"The system can become more challenging to use in more complex scenarios, requiring additional add-ons that can be quite costly."
"Smartsheet could improve the UI and integrations. Some of Smartsheet's competitors have more than 2,000 integrations while Smartsheet only has approximately 40 integration applications."
"It would be beneficial to enhance user-friendliness and make it less complex while maintaining its overall excellence as a product."
"The integration with Microsoft products should be improved."
"Smartsheet needs to improve the user interface."
"The solution should include integrations with other platforms or software."
