"CA PPM Clarity - Ok, but can be better"

2/5

What do you like best about Clarity?

I like that it is so customizable inside the program where you can set up all types of filters. This is the best part of Clarity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Clarity?

I hate that it does not have alert features that can be customized. I have to rely on another team and what they deem are appropriate alerts. This does not meet my team's requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Clarity:

Try another tool with alerts built in, and easier to customize reports Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"CA PPM a comprehensive solution for project portfolio management"

4/5

What do you like best about Clarity?

The rich content of the solution makes it possible to quickly start and grow your PPM maturity. Next to that it can be nicely integrated within your whole back office (HR, Finance, P2P, ...). It is one of the only PPM tools that has a strong resourcemanagement capability and senario planning options on portfolio level. And when the standard is not sufficient for you, there is the ability to easily add your own configration items (objects, attributes) and for further automation of your PPM implementation there are the processes that enables you to automate your PPM capability to your needs (send notifications, automated reporting, etc.). Another strong capability is cost management which enables you an end 2 end overview of all your cost and budget throughout your portfolios. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Clarity?

CA PPM is a comprehensive solution that can be overwhelming. And because you can do it all, there is a lot you can do/need to do. So therefor it requires understanding of project portfolio management and cannot be compared with a project scheduling tool or a replacement of excel. Where excel stops CA PPM starts. It currenttly is not strong in programme management, other than the possibility to group and to organise projects in programmes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Clarity:

CA PPM is a very comprehensive tool for project portfolio management. It is very complete, so therefor it is important that you understand your own maturity and roadmap before you start implementing CA PPM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Clarity solving and how is that benefiting you?

Single source of thruth on the overall project portfolio. Clear insights in resource demand and capacity. Support of the annual (!?) budgetting and project initiation process. Clear insights in the overall project cost, spend and forecast. Automation of PPM processes through workflows and thus reducing administration in PPM. Integration of PPM and Finance and securing the purchase to pay process which reduces lead time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Ok for small shops. Difficult to customize"

1/5

What do you like best about Clarity?

We used clarity for years and as we grew, re-org, etc, customization made it very clunky. We did a huge production reinstall, installing the vanilla version. Worked a while, then got big and clunky again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
