    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.

    Everything is built off of timelines, which doesn't work for CROs where tasks are performed and billed based on different factors whose timelines can't be estimated accurately (when sites are activated, when SAEs are reported, etc.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

    Planview AdaptiveWork is an excellent platform for managing a large portfolio of projects without losing visibility into multitasking, making it ideal for fast-paced business environments. Additionally, we can quickly visualize those activities that require the most attention from project managers by quickly inspecting our Gantt charts or boards, and this follow-up can be related to the financial plan, resource management, or even registration and validation. of project milestones.With Planview AdaptiveWork we can make a comprehensive follow-up of our projects and reduce the costs associated with supervision since it guarantees efficient planning, execution, and control, in addition to the fact that it has the ability to make very complete reports for stakeholders.

    with Planview AdaptiveWork, We can understand the project's actual situation and manage all our projects with high accuracy. Preparing time programs by Planview AdaptiveWorkis very organized and helps link activities and areas with correct relationships. Scheduling is done automatically to find the start and end dates for activities. It is excellent that Planview AdaptiveWork provides all the necessary contracting contracts and helps calculate the actual delay periods for claims. As for calculating the exact completion percentages and comparing them to the planned ones, Planview AdaptiveWork is excellent for this purpose. We can also follow up on the financial affairs efficiently, and the reports and charts that we prepare by Planview AdaptiveWork help to understand the project's financial situation properly.

    Although the PM tool is comparable to MS Project, it also comes with a level of complication also comparable to MS Project. Full functionality of PM (i.e. including resource management) requires buy-in by all departments/users in the company, and this is difficult to acheive in large or diverse organizations. Our company implemeted this software with the goal of bringing project management together with time reporting, expense reporting, and invoice processing. The purpose of implementing Clarizen was to have a centralized system where we could report project status by including all relevant metrics on the project in a list or detailed view, e.g. planned time vs. actual time, planned cost vs. actual cost, and project manager comments/narrative on goal vs. result. This purpose was never realized. Clarizen underestimated the work effort to develop customizations, which resulted in the time module never being completed, the expense/invoice modules were cumbersome to use, the related approval workflows had many problems, and support from Clarizen management was almost non-existent. We are now taking a different approach. No longer do we believe that one system can handle all our needs, and so we have adopted different systems with some integration between them to try to bring together all project-related data.

    Smart Sheets and Task Ray Clarizen was better suited to our immediate needs and long-term goals.
    Flexible, intuitive, but with the right balance of controls. This features in this product allow us to enable business processes as we grow.

    Clarizen is used as a project management and time tracking solution for the organization. This includes client onboarding, ongoing work and tracking time for each task, as well as aggregating the hours worked by employees overall. This helps us forecast work and understand where someone needs assistance or who can assist.
    Project Management for ongoing and implementation work. Time tracking. Forecasting future workload.

    Clarizen is used by our information systems teams/departments to support our manufacturing application changes. We handle all application projects, resources, time management, application support, and change requests. Clarizen is the most user-friendly project management and request system we have used with a built-in configuration that allows us to manage our workflows, including business testing and approvals.
    User-friendly interface. This allowed us to implement Clarizen with very minimal training. The system has six to a dozen ways of doing the same thing which allows flexibility. Also, the mobile app is fully functional and just as friendly to use. Workflow. The workflow was easy to configure and setup. Auditing. Although we needed the audit features that out-of-the-box provided. The configuration and set up allowed for quick and maintainable auditing as needed. Clarizen PS provided insight and support as we set up 90% of our environment configuration.

    I use Planview AdaptiveWork to manage enterprise projects, schedule & budget, resource time tracking & resource capacity.
    I believe the Field title is not always the data/info of which they are labeled. Extremely, admin & click heavy. Logic - I believe the logic in many areas is not correct/effective, or efficient. Consistent Functionality - matching functionality approach. In my opinion, different areas have different functionality for the same functions.

    Clarizen is used across our entire organization for client project management, project financial reporting, and time and expense reporting. We use it as a core project management tool for our professional solutions, as well as for internal projects and time management.
    Reports can be difficult and confusing to build, and don't have a lot of flexibility in terms of layout or formulas. Expense reporting module is not user friendly, lacks ease of use of most competeing tools. Mobile app is limited in functionality and difficult to navigate. Integration with CRM and accounting tools can be difficult and costly, especially if you have customized your Clarizen build.

    Overall: We are implementing Clarizen as a project management tool for the entire organization but starting in the Information Technology and Performance Improvement departments. Our goal is to capture all project requests and projects in one place for review, approval, management, and reporting. Clarizen has mostly met our expectations so far. Most of the items that have not met our expectations are minor. We are still early in our implementation so there are still lessons to learn in our journey.
