I love it, but when I was ready to subscribe the fee was high. High but affordable and worth it. What nobody told until I was ready to pay is that there is a mandatory minimum onboarding fee. That's not cool. Pros Easy to use, comprehensive tool Cons Onboarding fee of $7,500 Review Source KJ Kevin J. Vice President Financial Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Flexible Software with Incredible expansion capabilities. " August 2, 2016 4.5 Pros Ability to use for multiple solutions in addition to Agile Project Management. I've been in the business for over 30 years and Clarizen Customer Care in the best I've experienced in a very long time. Cons The Software is overwhelming at times for me since I am not a programmer and my Bank is using a lot of custom built processes. In all fairness, we went from implementation to advanced usage in a couple of weeks so we never allowed their implementation team to completely train us in the basics. I do not know HTML and have never used it so I have run into challenges. The team at Clarizen have been fantastic to work with however. Review Source BP Beth P. Used the software for: ### "Clarizen Project Management Application" March 4, 2011 4.0 After reviewing many PM applications, we chose Clarizen based upon its features and cost. Almost two year later, we are still happy with the application and its continual upgrades. Pros Ease of use for both administrators, clients and individual users Accessibility of information about new features - i.e. webinars, Clarizen staff, website tutorials Easy update features to keep everyone involved with the project up-to-date Cons Wish there was a feature that would accrue paid time off Review Source MS Mel S. Project Manager Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Very helpful Projects Management tool" March 1, 2018 4.0 Pros Provides an organized work environment for all the Projects and activities in a company. It adapts to any size or kind of Projects. Cons Not so easy to track all the activities and Projects. Not everyone can afford it. The Price per user. Review Source CL Carmel L. LMS Subject-Matter Expert Management Consulting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Review of Clarizen" December 30, 2018 4.0 Pros it is nice in collaborative work! it brings the businesses in easy way for their work. It is manageable, convenient for the users. Such a nice app! Cons no negative review about this. This is worth of investing if you really need a partner for your business to make it easy. Review Source MW Molly W. Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: ### "Clarizen Saved Us" November 4, 2014 4.5 Pros The people at Clarizen were helpful and very patient. What I liked best about the product was the ability to work well with other software programs (i.e. Salesforce). My company heavily relies on Salesforce and our previous project management tool did not work with it, therefore, it created more work for the company and more money was wasted. Cons I am an aesthetic person. I feel like the UI could use a little sprucing up. Review Source TL Tony L. Information Technology and Services Used the software for: ### "Experience with Clarizen" April 4, 2014 4.5 Pros It does what it claims, is easy to use, and is cost-effective. The vendor is very nice to deal with from a sales perspective, as well as with training. We are very pleased with Clarizen and will continue to use it after our initial subscription is up. Cons Nothing at this point. Honestly, there is nothing I wished the product or the vendor could do at this point to make our experience any better, other than if it was free.

March 18, 2018 5.0 This solution allows me to develop team work efficiently, integrating conversations, tasks and projects in the same application. It really is very efficient. Pros This software has excellent functions, is configured quickly and is very easy to use. You can reliably organize all the tasks inherent to any project you carry out. The truth, it is very helpful to have this software. Review Source TW Taylor W. Research Used the software for: ### "Clarizen for Project Management Newbies" May 29, 2014 4.5 Pros The software is very user-friendly, and there are numerous training tools available to learn how to use the software. The vendor was very attentive without being overly pushy during our search time. Cons The software is a bit overwhelming for a group that has never used a program like this. We have to spend some time sifting through what is important for our functionality and what can be implemented later. Review Source RH Ryan H. Ops Consumer Goods Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Love the ease of Customization" January 29, 2019 5.0 Pros It is incredibly easy to customize the software to meet your needs. From fields to panels just about everything can tweaked to meet your needs Cons Some of integrations are not super straightforward. Review Source Avnish B. Manager Program Engagement Human Resources Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "null" December 21, 2015 4.0 Review Source Jeff S. Director, Project Management Outsourcing/Offshoring Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "null" August 27, 2015 5.0 Review Source PB Pawel B. Used the software for: ### "Review by Software Project Management" January 18, 2010 4.0 The best web-based project management software I worked with so far. Pros Scheduling, Task Management, MS Project Import, External Users, GUI Design, Usability Features, Support Cons Price: The first and the most important issue is Clarizen pricing. It is also a second and third most important issue respectively. Clarizen is expensive. It’s very expensive. History, Risk Management, Item Workflow Review Source GS Gabriel S. CEO Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Look No further Than Clarizen" June 17, 2016 5.0 Pros Robust, configurable, and affordable! Clarizen was our project management trifecta! We chose Clarizen for its web-based, real-time performance. Not only can our team efficiently execute a project, our clients can check our progress, communicate changes, and parse information on the fly which means we spend less time talking and more time doing. And did I mention you can use it on any mobile device? Sweet! Cons Support could be a little better and the reporting needs some improvement but updates are regular and these issues aren't major, at least for us. Review Source AL Andrzej L. Construction Used the software for: ### "One of the best project management solutions on the market. " December 27, 2013 4.5 Pros Clarizen is an online SaaS that provides the best solution to project management. Clarizen is a great collaboration platform that lets you coordinate and manage projects. I really like the Clarizen customer attention as well; it's very professional. Clarizen licensing is really competitive also. Cons Sometimes it's a little bit slow, and there's no app for iPad. Review Source JD Jeff D. IT Manager Used the software for: ### "Clarizen for Project Management" February 10, 2015 4.0 Clarizen moved us from time entry only to Project based management of our Tasks. It gives insight into scheduling, work loads, and help to make sure you check off everything you need to do. We used to have daily team meetings just to maintain the todo lists and each month contract obligations still got missed. Now, there's a clear path to success and each team member knows what they have to accomplish and within what time frame. It's harder than it sounds. Review Source NT Nick Taylor Used the software for: ### "Reporting is not flexible enough" March 1, 2013 2.0 Decent product overall and cheaper price, but you sacrifice a lot of functionality when compared to other offerings in the space. Pros More functionality that tools like Basecamp, Asana, etc. Web-based Easy Setup Cons Support is not very helpful. Very little guidance in best practices with their software. Reporting is not nearly as flexible as other tools I've used in the past (AtTask). Review Source MG Michael G. Internet Director Used the software for: ### "Clarizen is an excellent project management tool, and I would highly recommend it." August 26, 2008 4.0 Clarizen is an excellent project management tool, and I would highly recommend it. Pros Interface is easy to use and intuitive. It also has some good functionality, even though there is room for improvement. Also the system operates fairly quickly, not a lot of refresh. Imports MS Project files well. Cons Needs some improvement navigation, reporting, and daily maintenance. Review Source RM Ralph M. Resident Inspector Management Consulting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good software off and on-site staff" February 4, 2017 5.0 I like this software. I work out of office and it is easy for me to be able to view projects on the go. It’s easy to connect with clients and set up tasks to remind me of what still needs to be done. Review Source DM Devin M. Project Manager Management Consulting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "My experience with Clarizen has been Awesome" April 25, 2016 4.5 Pros It profoundly covers all aspects of project management, very customisable, with advanced reporting and custom fields. Cons Sometimes the system shows slow responses when I send requests/comments. Review Source AH Ashley Hoyt Used the software for: ### "Terrific Product with Outstanding Customer Service" December 13, 2013 5.0 I highly recommend Clarizen for my clients. The ability to start running out of the box, or customize the product to your exact specifications provides the ultimate flexibility. The product can evolve with your company, allowing you to maintain one product as your company grows. The customer service is unparalleled. Webinars, forums, and online resource tools prove to be invaluable resources when customizing this product. Review Source KM Krista M. Used the software for: ### "Ability to get very detailed " February 1, 2017 4.0 I used Clarizen to track my time for specific projects while working on an operations team. I think our company got way too specific with the tasks, as I would be tracking time as little as 15 minute increments, but I do think that is a plus with the software! You can be assigned to many, many tasks and be reporting time to all of them. It is easy to use and search for what you are looking for and a very short learning curve. Review Source CC Christopher C. Management Consulting Used the software for: ### "Clarizen fireside chat" January 15, 2015 4.0 Pros The best aspect of this platform, for me, is the ease in which I can see each of my team member's project load. This enables me to better time manage all the resources available in my team. Cons My least favorite aspect of Clarizen is creating new views. It is sometimes cumbersome and not intuitive. Somewhat confusing. Review Source SH Sarah H. Management Consulting Used the software for: ### "New Features Really Add to the Product! " January 16, 2015 4.0 Pros I like the new social features. Being able to communicate easily across projects is awesome. Cons The ramp-up time in being fully comfortable to use the product and feel like you know what you're doing is steep. It took me a while to get used to Clarizen again, especially after the new version was rolled out. Review Source AB Avnish B. Program Engagement Manager Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Wing to Wing PPM Integration, Information Visibility, and Improvement" June 26, 2016 4.5 Pros Integration of PPM with Resource Allocation, Capacity Planning, and Finance. Cons Data and Reports based on Calander days require manual steps.
