I have been using Clarity since 10 years to manage projects and resource planning. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Clarity Software (Clarity PPM) is a comprehensive project and portfolio management solution that helps organizations manage their projects and really helpful for large enterprises. Clarity provides powerful tools for managing resources across multiple projects. #### Cons Clarity Software cost and user interface is challenging for teams without dedicated IT support. Performance with large datasets, limited mobile experience, are significant drawbacks. --- ### manage your workflow End to End - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: stephen B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Financial Services - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: October 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Very easy to install - customer service is excellent. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros integrates software in one place. Helps manage all users #### Cons non United States based company - would prefer a US company #### Reasons for choosing Clarity Software collaboration features were much better. --- ### Avoid at all costs! - Overall rating: 1/5 - Reviewer: Karl L. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: June 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Clarity are a bad company to deal with, so I would definitively think twice before signing up, even if you think its great system. Shop around. Once signed up we can not get out of our 3 YEAR contract with them even though we do not use the system! We used it for 3 months, NO ONE PERSON in our company go on with it, they interface is so clumsy and full of glitches that support have to sort out, (example if you click on a company invoice, it will take to so another invoice, go back and click on it again and it will take you to the correct invoice... nightmare when you think you are going to the correct one to start with and your are marking the wrong invoices off as paid). So basically after many more issues (which I will happy explain somewhere but this review platform limits how much you can write so just hitting on the main points at the minute) 3 months we went back to them and said this system is not up to scratch and not what we have been promised. They said there is nothing they can do and they will NOT be cancelling our contract... because the contact is actually with a leasing company and NOT with CLARITY! I'm guessing there is a reason they started to use a leasing company to stop people getting out of their contacts. I have no idea why, if someone is not happy and has been miss sold they will not just part ways, I haven't asked for my money back just to leave the contract as we do no use their system (paid over a year already) but they will not. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 1/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 1/5 #### Pros Not many pros at all to be honest. Support is good, but they need to be. #### Cons Pretty much all of it. Its a very outdated CRM system, on the face of it when they come and do the demo it looks really good, but they do show you ALL of the features & functionality (but not all is included when you sign up and this becomes VERY convoluted when you want to do things that you were shown). So they have the corporate blurb about how you are given modules that work for you, and they say they come and assess your needs etc prior to signing up, but they do not, the sales man that comes down tells you want you want to hear and they system can do this that and the other, basically a yes man to get the commission. Once signed up and you have to start using the system all the cracks start to appear. Things that you were shown in the demo that you go and try and do all of a sudden are not included in your module, but we have paid... but we have paid for another user to use that module not everyone, so if you buy a module you have to buy a user for it... this is where things start to get VERY expensive as modules all do different things.. so sales module, invoice module, production module, delivery module, fitting module so on and so forth... if you buy, say the production module, and you have 5 users, you have to get a license for each of the users to use that module. So say we buy the invoicing module and you expect the whole team to be able to invoice... you have to buy the whole team separate licenses. This was not explained during sign up. #### Reasons for choosing Clarity Software I would definitely recommend using ShopVox, or at least take a look into it before making any decisions on clarity, you are not tied in if you at least try it, ALL features are available to each user, its an online system so you can access anywhere not just from set computers and you can cancel at any time, very easy to use... PLUS it has MORE functionality! The difference in the systems is miles apart. Planning on going through a small claims court now to get out of our contract, so just be VERY aware of what you are signing up for with Clarity, and their leasing company Grekne. Not something you really want to be doing when you have a business to run. If a customer of mine had any issues I would never let things end up like this, but clarity are just a money pinching company that have had the lion share of the market for too long and massively outdated system and business morals, there are more modern and better systems out there. So if you take anything away from my experience, PLEASE just shop around before signing up with Clarity. Shopvox is a better alternative and you will not be tied into a contract, if its not for you, then you can leave no problem (and did I mention its online based, has more functionality, far cheaper). But clarity have you over a barrel for at-least 3 YEARS! --- ### Have adopted clarity over the last 2 years, learning more and more, getting better and better! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Edd C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Printing - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Our business has become much more efficient at keeping log of all of our incoming jobs/leads. We run reports to check all jobs on system in the next few days and generally organise ourselves much more effectively. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Simplicity of basic functionality in order to log our jobs. Sales module and reporting are fantastic, can easily see our job profit/loss. Customer support is second to none with a monthly support contract, any issues are quickly resolved over the phone and via team-viewer. Customisation of works orders and quotations is high, with an integrated module specifically for adjust these templates etc. Implementation team are also fantastic and understand your businesses needs in order to install the system with the least hassle. Moving forward i know the production module is also a powerful tool, having had a few demonstrations. This is next on our list. #### Cons Report building is complex, we have recently attended a course on this (offered by touch systems, half a day learning at their site), learnt a lot but still much more to learn. Previously using salesforce we were used to this element being easy however it's not rocket science and will go in over time. --- ### Great System with good support and team is constantly refining it. - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Orlando d. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The system is easily understood and intuitive to use. New team members catch on really fast and it enables us to see what each team member has done with real time feedback from the production floor on the production status when using the Shop floor data collector. It gives us a much better understanding on the true costs of our jobs and timing required to finish it. The ad on modules like Production and Purchase order modules are a must to tie up all costs to a job and make tracking super easy. The really great thing about Clarity is that is modular so you can grow the system as your needs grow. For my business the Calc wizards such as Direct to Sheet and Roll wizard was an absolute must as we could simply not run the production and costs as efficiently as we do with out it which also helps us win business. Any CRM system is as good as you take the time to set it up and the information you put into it which is key. Clarity where really great in guiding us to get this right. The Support is also top notch. We are based in South Africa which did make me nervous at first but being on similar time zone and the speed at which Clarity get back to us on a problem has made me at ease over the years. #### Cons The Calc Wizards have a lag which can get really annoying but I know this is being addressed and the software could use some add on features like automatic follow up per quote and better Email campaign integration on there Clarity Go Marketing. Those are my major gripes. --- ### This is a great program for sign/print companies which really helps you look closely at margins. - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Mike W. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Graphic Design - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Clarity in looking at margins on products and overall jobs. Visibility of pipeline. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 2/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros The ability to run reports and get information out to closely look at margins is great and has really changed the way we look at the viability of jobs when customers push back on price. It has also helped us identify area we should be charging where we haven't historically. #### Cons The reliance on a physical server is a hindrance. The way in which the calculations are made also means that the users are heavily reliant on the client machine talking to the server and this makes some simple processes painfully slow. --- ### I use the basic facilities of Clarity and I know it can do so much more but it suits me perfectly - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jeremy R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. It has speeded everything up when quoting and you can check your cost prices from each supplier quickly and easily. Can do a quote in seconds and I think my customers are quite impressed with this even though there's only me working at my business #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Easy to add products and prices and work out sqm prices Updating the software is easy The whole layout of the software is easy to navigate I have never had any bugs in the software in about 10 years #### Cons When a stock item goes up in price it doesn't automatically do anything about your sub-assembly price. I might be wrong but I find this to be the only thing I don't like. --- ### Could be great with priority put onto the wrong areas to improve the functionality of the software - Overall rating: 2/5 - Reviewer: Tom B. - Industry: Printing - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Production planning and scheduling, although flaws are present cost analysis is nearly good #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 2/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 2/5 #### Pros Production module is good as is the sales area other than there is a lack of some basic functionality you would expect. Good responsiveness in Support. #### Cons Lack of basic advise and support with set up/configuration post install. Poor communication from sales on road map. Slow running of certain aspects of the software. Limited flexibility with the following Modules & processes; Goods/picking/internal jobs/POD schedule module on Pro, all limiting real life ease of use. There should be regular communication and development of standard business reports. There should be an option not to include changes in the upgrades that increase business processing costs and limit flexibility. There should be a full brief of what the negatives effects of the upgrades. There is no review meeting on outstanding development items and it requires the customer to constantly chance for updates. Many items have no committed finish/completion dates. Monthly review meetings with action completion dates --- ### The Clarity Software Experience - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Chris T. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Mechanical or Industrial Engineering - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Once through to the right person, the staff are attentive and extremely helpful. In my experience, the most responsive were the technical team with the training and query support. Overall a decent company to deal with. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Fairly straight-forward interface with easy on the eye graphics. As logical as most transaction software systems. Great for small businesses such as ours. #### Cons The set reports are not always what you want. However, like all BI systems, once you get your head around SQL and report writing, the effort is worth it to save the time future but support from the Clarity team is always there to get you through it. Don't like the use of 0845 customer service number couple with long wait times (& therefore extortionate costs for mobile users). The customer service vs accounts vs install team vs technical support can be a bid disjointed. --- ### Generally good over the last five years with room for improvement. - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Simon C. - Industry: Printing - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Very good at keeping everything in one place. This makes quotations fairly straightforward. It also means you can instantly see where your business is doing better and with which customers. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 2/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I like how all of our Price List parts are easily accessible, can be easily updated regularly and can be brought directly into quotes. This includes pricing for labour as well as things such as paper and other substrates. This makes quoting easier and more accurate. #### Cons My least favourite aspect is that Touch Systems keep adding more and more features without fixing fundamental problems. This is very frustrating and counter productive. I have been using the software for 5 years and am still waiting for everyday tools to be fixed. This has been the case for most of the five years! These have been pointed out a number of times and yet nothing ever happens. Rather than changing the colours of the software and buttons, it would be more beneficial to fix things like Calc Wizards to enable me to be able to quote more efficiently and accurately. --- Showing 1 - 10 of 27 Reviews [See All Reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/manufacturing/clarity-software-profile/reviews/) ## Clarity Software Popular Comparisons [ProShop ERP vs Clarity Software](https://www.softwareadvice.com/manufacturing/clarity-software-profile/vs/proshop/)[shopVOX vs Clarity Software](https://www.softwareadvice.com/manufacturing/clarity-software-profile/vs/shopvox/)[ShopXpert vs Clarity Software](https://www.softwareadvice.com/manufacturing/clarity-software-profile/vs/shopxpert/)[1factory vs Clarity Software](https://www.softwareadvice.com/manufacturing/1factory-profile/vs/clarity-software/) [Compare All Alternatives](https://www.softwareadvice.com/manufacturing/clarity-software-profile/alternatives/) ## Other Top Recommended Manufacturing Software [NetSuite](https://www.softwareadvice.com/accounting/netsuite-financials-accounting-software-profile/) **4.2** (2077) Recently recommended **121** times [Striven](https://www.softwareadvice.com/project-management/striven-profile/) **4.8** (130) Recently recommended **108** times [Acumatica Cloud ERP](https://www.softwareadvice.com/manufacturing/acumatica-manufacturing-profile/) **4.4** (243) Recently recommended **90** times [SAP Business One](https://www.softwareadvice.com/accounting/sap-business-one-profile/) **4.3** (344) Recently recommended **73** times Stuck Between Options?
