Broadcom Clarity Competitors

STUCK WITH THE BROADCOM WAY OF DOING THINGS?

Has Clarity’s legacy PPM tool (formerly known as CA PPM​) left you feeling unsupported? Planview’s Strategic Portfolio Management solution is the ideal Broadcom Clarity PPM​ alternative for your enterprise.

5 reasons Planview® is the best alternative to Clarity PPM

  • You are more than an upsell.

    You bought Clarity PPM for traditional Project Portfolio Management (PPM), and perhaps it initially provided your organization with the support you were looking for. But now, Broadcom could care less about your business or your evolving PPM needs. They just care about upselling your account.

    As your organization has evolved, you’ve likely discovered Broadcom isn’t supporting you the way that you need. How long does it take to resolve issues? Do you spend days or weeks waiting for customization support?

    Does a company that ships your account off to a 3rd party service provider really care about you? We don’t think so.

  • Does a semiconductor manufacturer really care about PPM?

    Did you know that over 79% of Broadcom’s revenue comes from semiconductors? It is reasonable to think that Broadcom likely cares about that part of the business more than its PPM software.

    Imagine how much more you can achieve by working with a true technology partner committed to understanding what software features and enhancements are needed to successfully deliver your strategic initiatives, portfolios, programs, and projects.

    At Planview, all we care about is your project and portfolio management success.

    It is all we do.

  • The status quo has got to go.

    The nature of business is constantly changing. Shouldn’t your portfolio management solution change with it?

    Aging PPM tools don’t support teams in the modern world. Do you need to plan project and product-centric work leveraging waterfall and agile methodologies?

    Don’t waste your time struggling to get Clarity customized enough to use it, or let your organization be forced to on-board Rally too! You need a PPM solution that innovates as fast as you do!

    Planview’s Strategic Portfolio Management solution comes with everything you need to drive value today and tomorrow.

  • Meet your goals. On your terms.

    Organizations should grow, change and evolve on their terms with support from solutions that fit the way they work. Forcing process change when not ready can lead to frustrations, stalled progress, low productivity, wasted time and work.

    Don’t let Broadcom talk you into its larger ValueOps solution that requires significant organizational change. Organizations that attempt a radical agile shift or a big bang process shift, often fail. Planview won’t let you become a statistic.

    We’ll help you change your terms and timeline.

  • No more dated data.

    It shouldn’t feel like piloting a spaceship every time you assess the performance of your portfolios. You deserve a solution that’s powerful and easy to navigate, especially when it comes to your strategic investments. Feel confident in the work your organization delivers. Empower decision-making at the highest level.

    When time is of the essence, do you want to jump through hoops to access reports? Planview places your data at your fingertips so you can spend your time where it matters – delivering value quickly to your enterprise and your customers.

What is the difference between a Strategic Portfolio Management solution and a project portfolio management tool like Clarity PPM?

Project portfolio management tools like Clarity PPM provide teams and project leaders with the core capabilities to manage projects and resources. While helpful in planning, executing, and managing work, these tools can feel one-dimensional for organizations that need to coordinate initiatives across the entire enterprise.

A robust Strategic Portfolio Management solution addresses critical challenges organizations face, such as:

  • Improving speed-to-value and market responsiveness
  • Unlocking organizational capacity for propriety initiatives
  • Increasing confidence in your strategic investments

To solve these problems, you need more than a project management tool. You need a comprehensive Strategic Portfolio Management solution that provides your organization with the power to plan, fund, and deliver strategic outcomes now.

See what a difference Planview can make in identifying opportunities and balancing tradeoffs. Visualize, prioritize, and quickly adjust initiatives, programs, and product plans when market or customer requirements change. See how real-time reporting can speed decision-making while leveraging a built-in OKR framework to ensure a tight connection and alignment across your business and IT. This, coupled with support for your traditional waterfall, agile and hybrid work methodologies, gives your organization the keys to deliver the most valuable work for your business.

Broadcom Clarity can’t do that.

What key capabilities should a Strategic Portfolio Management solution have?

Looking for an SPM solution can be challenging. Clarity and some Broadcom Clarity competitors may claim they offer Strategic Portfolio Management but lack features necessary for accelerating growth and delivering business value. Below are some essential capabilities and functionality necessary for an effective SPM solution:

  • End-to-end visibility into financial information, resources, risks, capacity and work delivery across all systems and teams
  • Outcome-driven planning & prioritization with a built-in OKR framework ensuring your entire organization is aligned to the right priorities across strategy, financials, and work
  • Strategic and outcome-based planning and prioritization across Agile, Hybrid, Project-based (Waterfall) or Product-based work
  • Support for businesses wanting to transition from a project to product-centric approach
  • Scenario planning and analysis to model and visualize the impact of potential plan changes, trade-offs, and adjustments to investment priorities
  • Flexibility and support for Agile, Traditional, and Hybrid ways to fund and execute work, so teams are empowered to plan and deliver their best work
  • A wide range of integrations with enterprise applications and tools, including popular Agile, DevOps, and work management tools
  • Support for empowered decision-making through real-time data that enables leaders to make informed decisions across the portfolio

Another important factor to consider when looking for an SPM solution is whether your enterprise will get vendor support – not only when implementing the solution, but also as you continue to push your enterprise further.

Planview is the only Clarity competitor recognized as an industry leader in Strategic Portfolio Management, Adaptive Project Management, Enterprise Agile Planning, and Value Stream Management.

Partnering with Planview for Strategic Portfolio Management ensures your enterprise has a true technology partner to support your need to drive transformation, maximize business value, and adapt to a new world of work.

Can we integrate Clarity PPM and other work management tools into Planview SPM?

Absolutely. We believe in empowering teams to do their best work in their tool of choice, which is why our SPM solution integrates with Clarity and many other tools.

Integrating into Planview’s SPM solution is easy. We offer more than 60 no-code integrations (and growing) with popular business applications and project management tools. Whether your teams use Broadcom’s Clarity or Rally Software, Atlassian’s Jira, or Microsoft’s Azure DevOps, they can connect their tools to our solutions without disruption.

“We’re at a point now in the evolution of our organization where we have to have this type of platform. I don’t view Planview® Portfolios, or Planview® ProjectPlace, as an application – this is truly a platform that has tremendous and robust capabilities.”
