Clarizen gives you everything you need in terms of Portfolio and Program Management. In terms of comparison to other platforms, Clarizen's resource loading is great because it allows splitting resources in the tasks. Clarizen can scale up to whatever your needs are, especially in terms of Custom Fields and Custom Reports. Also, depending on how you set up your environment, building reports is pretty straightforward, and you can schedule them to reoccur on a time interval. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For Clarizen One the facet that I dislike the most is that because of all the features within Clarizen it is not very user friendly. I found a lot of times, that my coworkers were overwhelmed with the UI and needed to come to me with a lot of questions. Therefore, trying to get the project team fully immersed in Clarizen is always a challenge and takes away from the collaborative features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Clarizen helps the project manager by managing the breakdown of tasks along with tagged people. The tools for communication are easy to use and effective.

Price of license is bit high which makes it difficult for small organization to use it.

Custom fields limitation is a bit drawback, which needs to taken care of.

Integration with other tools is bit complex. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think Clarizen is easy to use and it includes many of the items that are useful for our organization. We use it to manage client facing projects and portfolios. We also use it for internal and external meetings to track progress and to track against baselines. I think keeping Clarizen updated is fairly intuitive, and the interface is also simple. It is much easier to manage than MS Project and has many more features beyond SmartSheet. I think our organization has improved in our credibility as well as our project tracking since we implemented Clarizen. It also has been helpful for internal communication on projects across the team and for issue tracking.

I also really enjoy the portfolio management aspect as in the past I have managed multiple product implementations at the same time. By having a portfolio capability, I have been able to link dependencies and tasks across projects to better align to the reality of the implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the add on functionality/integration with Clarizen is fairly clunky. Slide publisher isn't great, and you can overwhelm the system when you need to make multiple updates on a project. It also could be more intuitive/helpful when there are project conflicts. Adding in standard project management reports that have worked well for other clients would also be great. I also feel like we haven't learned much about additional functionality that Clarizen has added over the past few years. There likely is other functionality that would be beneficial for our organization to utilize which we just don't know about. We also struggled in an attempt to integrate with Jira.

Clarizen's overall usability is great for basic project management; including creation, tracking and reporting. If you're looking for a tool that's easy to use and navigate as a project manager, then this is definitely a great choice. I've worked with other project management tools, and Clarizen's UI and basic features definitely trump others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It seems like Clarizen can do a LOT of things, but we either don't know what those things are because of lack of continued training and education through the years, or the things we do utilize (e.g. meeting management), require more development in order to be used to their full potential.

Clarizen One enables nearly all aspects of project and portfolio management to be carried out on a single tool, which allows for convenient management and provides a large set of community maintained data to be applied in controlling and reporting activities.

The interface is largely intuitive to all users, which helps to promote adaptation, which is especially welcome in the case of software not commonly known. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Areas to improve are the low detail error log and limited data visualization options. Reports generated in Clarizen One often do not deliver to actual business needs, requiring other tools to be used based on extracts from the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
