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.

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.

What do you like best about Planview AdaptiveWork?

The tool is very customizable, and most people with little coding experience will be able to build custom workflows and processes. The views are easily changed with no coding needed, and the hybrid Jira board views are excellent for scum-style projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planview AdaptiveWork?

Almost nothing works well out of the box; many processes are completed outside of the tool and then entered into the tool. The support for the product is lacking; with Clarizen being bought by Plainview, there are different growing pains. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Works great for overviews of projects at a high-level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planview AdaptiveWork?

The problem with Clarizen (Planview AdaptiveWork) is the price, and it is also not so easy to configure. There is not much material to learn how to use Clarizen, so we had to learn by ourselves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The system to register the hours spent on tasks inside each project really helps us control project prices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planview AdaptiveWork?

You have to understand what it is you need and want, which is much harder than it sounds. Very iterative process. It is a complex beast, you really need someone to be an expert in it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hopefully it will smooth out our peaks and valleys and enable us to have a good idea of when we need to hire staff as opposed to working through a temporary spike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Planview AdaptiveWork?

I really enjoy that Clarizen One is very customizable. Another great benefit is that our Customer Success Manager, Andrzej Lechowicz, is phenomenal and always attentive no matter how busy he is. Dashboards and reports are pretty easy to create especially if you are someone in IT. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planview AdaptiveWork?

One of the disadvantages at this time of the product is that it is not very friendly for the agile methodology. In order to get it to report out in a way to eliminate double-entry in other systems such as Azure DevOps or Jira, you need 3rd party integrations. We are working through figuring out how to best continue to utilize Clarizen One instead of a new product. We've invested a lot in Clarizen and prefer to stay with their solutions.

It is also resource intensive if your project plans are detailed. It can lock up or slow to a crawl. I believe Clarizen is working on this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Planview AdaptiveWork:

It is a great product. Once it is more adapted to agile, it will be an even better product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

For waterfall projects, we are able to generate project/program cost reports, resource utilization/capacity reports, and create dashboards for our teams and senior leadership. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's not much to dislike about Clarizen. The initial learning curve of using the tool is quite steep as it's packed with features but it's all worth it after wrapping your head around it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Planview AdaptiveWork?

This software's ability to handle the processing of resource time allocations and rate management is impressive. The reporting feature is handy, and once the data schema is fully understood, you can generate valuable reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planview AdaptiveWork?

This sofware is not as user friendly as one would like when it comes to the creation of business processes. This feature could be improved upon by enhancing it with it's own business process development module. Customizations are availabile, but you must be very well versed in the data structure in order to master the functionality required in order to generate automated processes. You have to purchase Professional Services expertise in order to get the support you will need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The software provides a very accurate accounting of your projects, providing sound accounting for every aspect of the project's expenditures. You can generate business intelligence reports and dashboards, giving you real-time, up-to-date information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
