Product Description

Clarizen One is a leader in collaborative work management, bringing together cross-company project management, configurable workflow automation and real-time collaboration in an enterprise-grade platform.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

Companies are quickly finding that traditional, siloed, on-premises project planning and task management tools don't work well in today's environment. These tools are too complex and too narrowly focused and do not have the real-time information, the responsive planning and flexibility required to keep everyone in the loop and everything on track. While, it's easy to download a simple task management tool, they do not support the collaborative interaction needed to complete process or project related tasks.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Planview AdaptiveWork?

The completeness of the SaaS. It is a very complete solution for multiple kinds of project and portfolio management business areas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planview AdaptiveWork?

The complexity of the SaaS. It is so complete that sometimes it is very complex. Also, I don't like the scheduling of the system, it's only a basic scheduling function. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Planview AdaptiveWork:

It is a very complete system for PPM, definitely worth taking a shot. But be very careful of your low level requirements, do not take assumptions on whether a system already does what you need. We like Clarizen, but there are some areas that we assumed it would behave like a standard project scheduling tool but it is not doing it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Planview AdaptiveWork solving and how is that benefiting you?

Solving tracking of projects and portfolios at worldwide level, managing standardization across business regions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Planview AdaptiveWork?

Clarizen is a great tool to project managers and they can do day-to-day tasks project planning, resources allocations, budget management quickly. Our Users adapted the tool very quickly and they like it. Clarizen is extremely user-friendly and I had a very good experience with Clarizen. The product is very flexible. It's a lightweight tool that can manage a lot aspects of project management.

Using CSS, HTML to customize some of its UI is great, even it can be used to customize CSS based on permissions and migration from MS projects works well. The resource management and time sheets are the best addons. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planview AdaptiveWork?

As a software developer with 2 years of Clarizen support/admin experience, I can say, API can be used to read/write most of the Clarizen data, but it cannot be used in provisioning custom action, workflows, etc. Clarizen data model/ config/ workflows are not as matured as MS office 365, salesforce workflows, actions, etc, and have few limitations. Not ideal for massive organizations, but it can do the job.

A lot of reports cannot be downloaded as PPT and even downloading projects, reports, etc as spreadsheets also slow and load time for the reports is very high Moving the config between environments is not so smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Planview AdaptiveWork:

Great if you are not planning to heavily customize it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Planview AdaptiveWork solving and how is that benefiting you?

Clarizen can be used not only for project management but also as timesheets which are very helpful. Dev costs can be minimized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Planview AdaptiveWork?

I am impressed by the versatility and comprehensive nature of custom fields. These fields provide all the necessary data to the project manager. Moreover, the reports are excellent. Their interactive nature enables me to quickly obtain the data I need, particularly when I combine the contents of a table with those of a graph on one page. It is also helpful to note the presence of a risk management module, available "ready-to-use," but can be configured to be a powerful tool for managing the risks associated with Clarizen projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planview AdaptiveWork?

The tool may at first glance appear complex, particularly for those accustomed to working with more straightforward tools. Even so, if you grasp how it functions and how the various components interrelate, it becomes relatively straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Planview AdaptiveWork:

My recommendation would be Clarizen if you are interested in managing projects and portfolios with great detail and completeness. Although it is pre-loaded with extensive features, some adjustments are required to enhance the UX. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Planview AdaptiveWork solving and how is that benefiting you?

Clarizen is my tool for managing portfolios, projects, and investments risks associated with them. Keeping track of my work requires me to consult a variety of reports. In addition, I use Clarizen Timesheet to keep track of all the activities associated with the various projects that I am connected with. Finally, in collaboration with the team, we analyze the amount of time we spend on each project, the workload we have, and its influence on the cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Planview AdaptiveWork?

I like the flexibility and completeness of the custom fields very much. These fields allow the project manager to have all the data he needs.

I also enjoy the reports. They are very interactive, and I can get the information I need very fast, especially when we use a table with all the content seen on the graph on the same page.

Another strong point is the risks module, which is "ready to use" but, with some customization, it can be a very powerful tool to manage risks of the projects inside Clarizen (at project, program and portfolio level). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planview AdaptiveWork?

It may not be a very intuitive tool at first glance, especially for people who are used to work with more simple tools. However, once you understand how it works and how the different modules relate to each other it gets pretty easy.

Another thing that I did not like very much at the beginning was that it is not possible to see the summary of the tasks at the project level, it is necessary to go to the project details in order to see them. In any case, it is not a problem, I already got used to it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Planview AdaptiveWork:

If you are looking for a tool to manage projects, portfolio with a high level of detail and completeness, I absolutely recommend Clarizen. It already comes with a lot of features by default, but some configuration is needed in order to increase the user experience. That being said, I believeo it is important to have some support when starting to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Planview AdaptiveWork solving and how is that benefiting you?

With Clarizen I am managing projects, portfolios and the risks related to them. I use different reports to keep track of the projects (due dates, budget, costs and revenue.

I also use Clarizen Timesheet in order to keep track of all my activities in the different projects that I am involved in. Together with the team we analyse how much time we have spent in each project, how our workload is, and the impacts on the project's costs.

Thanks to Clarizen it is possible to have a complete overview of the portfolio and keep track of the teams activity. Moreover, it is possible to take necessary actions to avoid potential problems in the project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Planview AdaptiveWork?

Clarizen may be the most configurable tool among the PPM SaaS tools, especially in the UI. One of the key strengths of the software is the ability to support unprecedented processes by offering custom fields and workflows. In addition, the software provides unprecedented levels of training and support. The Clarizen staff is actively involved in helping both administrators and end-users utilize the solution in an easy-to-use and highly accessible manner. According to my, Clarizen is very attractive because it seems to satisfy the enterprise requirements for PMOs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planview AdaptiveWork?

Despite the fantastic mobile app, it is only available to Apple users and not to Android ones, so it has no value for us (the old Android app, which is not as valuable as the new app), Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Planview AdaptiveWork:

There is a lot of customization in Clarizen. Still, there are several things that users can configure via the configuration/customization settings that are otherwise not available out-of-the-box. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Planview AdaptiveWork solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have noticed a significant increase in the visibility of projects throughout our organization due to the Clarizen tool. Still, it has enabled us to provide our customers with better, more harmonious visibility into the project. Additionally, the ability to manage projects across the teams in one location has proved to be a significant productivity improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Reporting capabilities are great and have allowed us to have more catered reports, and the use of tabs has been a great addition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planview AdaptiveWork?

The success site can sometimes be out of date and the information a little hard to digest. I wish there were ways to report on user groups without it pulling in individual names of people, but instead reference the group and it's users, and update over time as new resources are entered into that group.

Clarizen One provides an easy way to keep track of your projects, priorities and keep informed of your stakeholders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planview AdaptiveWork?

All the task properties are not visible and accessible. You'll need to go and search them manually, despite everything is there. I have to mention you can't just copy and paste a project, you'll always need to start with a brand new template for an identicall project. We'll be a nice feature to add. When you send an email from the platform you are not able to paste images directly, you have to attach the picture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Planview AdaptiveWork:

It is a great Project management system. My initial recommendation is to take time to understand the system, look into it and learn about how the information flows, how to use the email notification, and how to use predecessors' tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Planview AdaptiveWork solving and how is that benefiting you?

You can keep the communication flowing. You are to assign tasks quickly and have a clear panorama of the overall project. he possibility to create recurring task is amazing, In addition you can use project templates that simplify the creation fo a new one.

Using this PTS yor are able to access to multiples view modes, you can access to gantt or calendar views. You are able to see the workload of your team and organize your resources easily. You can integrate your company contact list with your resources list, so when you send an email you'll get the same contact list form outlook. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
