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."It has improved communication vertically, with some amount of data to be able to show that more resources are necessary, or why projects aren't moving as fast as management would like. That sort of communication makes my job a lot easier."
"Allows us to track all of a project's elements in one database."
"Within the SaaS environment (since CA is supporting it), it has been extremely stable and reliable."
"The most valuable features of Broadcom Clarity PPM are demand, project, and product management."
"The interfaces for project management, portfolio management, and reporting services are always helpful."
"This product is good for resource management and project management. I have managed detailed schedules with great success."
"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."
"It's pretty much the source of "the truth." Everything is together, everyone can see all the resources, financial projects, how long a project's going to take. Anybody can go in there and see any information they need about the organization as a whole."
"This tool can be used anywhere and on any device."
"The dynamic communication and the ability to customize it the way we want are the most valuable features."
"The level of stability is quite good."
"The ability to change and rewrite tasks is valuable. You can add a lot of columns, change the owners and the change the components."
"We use Jira mostly for task coordination and assignment. Additionally, scrum methodologies defined work items and bug issues. If we create any bugs all of them are fixed."
"The solution is easy to use and user-friendly."
"A most valuable feature involves the ability to customize the entries and to update them quickly."
"The scalability is good."
"they could improve the mobile app. I think right now it only offers time sheet. If they can integrate a lot of other components into it I think that would be helpful for the users."
"I would like to see more team-based management, and less people-based management; as far as the resource management goes, to do it per team and not per person."
"In terms of what could be improved, the end user interface could be improved to be more intuitive, because we sometimes have issues with customization. Sometimes we are not able to customize everything for the end user's interface, and they require more customization. We should be able to perform a deeper customization here."
"The only real improvement from my side - I'm spoiled by things like Trello, with the very easy user interface, things like Basecamp - it's very much a static software project. If I was to focus on something it would be that user interface; making that something that is a joy to use, instead of something that feels like data entry."
"Setup could be made easier."
"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."
"Maybe we need to bring some financial executive reports to our directors and executives. Maybe we can improve the use of Jaspersoft."
"Needs Gantt to MS Project link."
"In Jira Cloud, integration with Excel is missing. Previously, I could import our Excel files into Jira, and I could also download a big Jira report in the Excel format, but now, it needs to be manipulated after that, which is not good. It looks like they've done that on purpose, but I don't understand the reason for it."
"Jira could improve the workflow, screen, and field configurability. They are lagging behind other solutions, such as Allegra in work system configurability."
"The integration of Jira could improve. The solution should be able to integrate easily with other solutions, such as ERPs. There are times the solution can be slow and we have to reset it over and over again."
"I don't know whether there is a Jira problem or a test risk problem, however, sometimes, we face issues on fetching the reports."
"I manage the progress of the stories in an Excel chart with dates on work progress or thing to do. I don't like the progress or the stage changing from the stories in Jira."
"The part when it comes to the testing area is a bit hard to handle. The screen is too small, you can't really read what you're typing in, and it's only for the testing area. It looks like they have pressed in more than the UI system could handle to display it properly."
"The stability could be improved."
"Could be more stable with more integrations."
