Are you looking for the best SPM software for your company? Clarity was once again recognized as a Leader in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Strategic Portfolio Management (SPM) – a strong signal for companies aiming to strategically manage their digital transformation.
Why Choosing the Right SPM Software is Complex
Whether it’s digitalization, business growth, or agile realignment: In times of profound transformation, powerful software for strategic portfolio management (SPM) is a key success factor. However, selecting the right tool is complex:
- Online, you will find a multitude of software solutions with different functions, levels of detail, and applications.
- Providers naturally present their own products in the best light – making an objective comparison of strengths and weaknesses difficult.
- Wrong decisions are costly: An unsuitable tool costs time, money, and resources.
Gartner Magic Quadrant: Orientation in the SPM Jungle
Neutral benchmarks from analysts like Gartner are an important support in decision-making, as they reduce complexity and risk. Gartner is one of the world’s leading technology analyst firms, known for its independent market analyses and well-founded evaluations of software solutions.
Gartner evaluates tools in the field of strategic portfolio management based on the criteria of Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision. Each software is placed within a quadrant – from Niche Players to Visionaries to Leaders. This structure creates a transparent map of the market.
In 2025, only three tools were positioned in the Leader quadrant. Clarity is one of them – thanks to a combination of high execution ability and strategic foresight.
Why Clarity Excels
The repeated positioning as a Leader shows that software manufacturer Broadcom continuously invests in the development of Clarity. According to the Gartner ranking, Clarity supports decision-making and the effectiveness of digital transformation in companies. The focus of new features is on AI-driven productivity enhancements and improved analytics functions, supported by high user-friendliness. According to Gartner, Clarity particularly excels in:
Broad Range of Services
Through Broadcom's robust network of implementation and consulting partners, Clarity offers a broader range of services around the software than is typically provided by software vendors in this market.
State-of-the-Art Functionality
The software is directly tailored to the needs of strategy, business, IT, and portfolio managers and focuses on people- and value-oriented portfolio management.
Scalability According to Maturity Level
Clarity supports companies at different stages of portfolio management development – from operational requirements to a more advanced value-oriented and product-based decision-making approach.
