Reasons for Switching to ClickUp

Pros

I love the fact that I can customise it so much. I used an outside agency to set it up, so now it's all organised the way I like it. Also love the way I can have wikis for each client.

Cons

Takes up a lot of resources on my laptop. Can sometimes slow down the rest of my PC.

Reasons for Switching to ClickUp

Pros

This a one stop app for tasks, goals, mind maps documents the lot. Reminders and events can sync with everyone involved to ensure productivity stays high. Customer service was also pretty good.

Cons

Their A.I feature is at best mediocre with an additional fee per month. There isn't a feature to create invoices and bill inside the app. The proofing option wasn't as robust as I would've liked either.

Pros

Clickup is a great tool for those looking to track projects, tasks and collaborate with other members of the team. My position is a lot of projects that include all types of creative work. Clickup allows me to track the progress of each project and keep writing in the same place. It also allows me to collaborate with other team members and keep track of upcoming tasks/projects.

I also love that I'm able to access other workspaces from the same space. This allows me to use Clickup for personal tasks/projects as well but keep them separate so my coworkers can't see them or access them.

Cons

I wish Clickup had a more substantial, and permanent, nonprofit discount. Our nonprofit is relatively small with limited space in the budget. Clickup's discount for nonprofits is small and only applies to the first year. That is a major barrier for adoption.

Pros

Two things I really like bout ClickUp. The first is their Timesheets. Entering your time is super easy, you can track whether your hours are billable or not, and there's even a way to track your hours with a timer. The second feature is the Whiteboard feature, which isn't available with any of the other products I have tested.

Cons

Unfortunately, I need to upgrade to a paid subscription to continue using the Timesheets feature, which is one of the main reasons for using ClickUp, and I can use a free version of other programs for time tracking.

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Switching to ClickUp

Pros

Well its a behemoth of an application and can have a lot of integrations in it. Automations and now with AI summaries makes getting tasks done easier.

Cons

Its just too big, when I started using it. I hated it like anything due to its sheer size (obviously a lot of teams in my company so a lot of boards). Getting used to was really difficult. Its super slow. Slow as in you can compare it to a tortoise.

Pros

I find the concept of spaces the most complete for my needs. I use spaces for customers, and I put all the client projects there as folders, but I also use them for large projects.

Cons

The loading speed. I tried on multiple different networks but it has that lazy loading that way in the past, when I started to use the tool it was not there.

Reasons for Switching to ClickUp

Pros

I like the UI, it is a modularised platform. It helps product managers to organise sprints and assign tasks to team members to reach milestones. It helps to track progress of the project, goals , milestones, etc. It comes with integration of CI/CD tools like github and gitlab

Cons

It is costlier in comparison to similar products in market. Slightly organisation of tasks, allocation to sprint, filling in the fields relevant to the task is slightly complex

Pros

I love the customizability of the platform. Very versatile and can be used by seemingly any type of organization

Cons

Not super intuitive on the automations and the structure changed making it harder to understand how tasks and subtasks work. Subtasks can get buried if not careful

Reasons for Switching to ClickUp

Pros

it have user friendly interface,good customizability.

Cons

it was giving frequently updates this will some disturbance

Pros

When I first started using it, I would keep track of each and every task given to me in Clickup. This evolved from only a to-do list, to an agenda and company document and template library. I loved how easy it was to navigate, as a business alternative to Notion (which I was using for personal reasons) with similar features.

Cons

When I tried using Clickup more recently (within the past year), it seemed as though it was overloaded with new features that weren't there 2-3 years ago. It's very confusing for someone who was used to the previous ClickUp with less features (This might be the first time I've ever reviewed something poorly for having too many features).

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Switching to ClickUp

Pros

The BEST thing about ClickUp is that it really is shaping up to be the tool that replaces ALL for day to day management. Since its inception, they have continued creating innovative features (vs. just OK) features to make it happen. I also LOVE how simple, clean and organized it is. It's the one tab where myself + the team spends most of the day in for communication, visibility, and management.

Cons

There really isn't anything... right now the only thing I don't LOVE about the tool is the workflow diagrams. But it's still a fairly new feature that will evolve. After using tools like Miro it has a long way to go. There was also a bit of a learning curve when first starting to use the diagrams, it wasn't as intuitive. The saving grace is that we can then convert the diagram into tasks (which is seriously a dream).

It would be nice if it were modeled a little more after Miro, and we had the ability to brand the colors vs. the preset colors which are very traditional RGB.

Reasons for Switching to ClickUp

Pros

The key distinctive aspect of ClickUp that can help users manage projects more efficiently is the ability to switch between the Gantt chart, the Kanban board, and the list view. The other distinctive features are the timer that is tied with the tasks and can track projects’ and teams’s activity.

Cons

On the other hand, it also means that there are at times too many features that cause some general issue, especially when dealing with large data and multiple integrations.

Pros

What I liked most about ClickUp is its versatility and user-friendly interface. It made managing tasks and projects straightforward and efficient, helping our team stay organized and productive.

Cons

What I liked least about ClickUp was the occasional complexity in setting up advanced features like custom workflows. For example, configuring automated notifications across multiple projects required more time and technical understanding than expected, which could be challenging for new users or those with limited experience in project management software.

Pros

It has a lot of features and functionalities.

Cons

It can be quite confusing. I think there's an overwhelm of features and functionalities so sometimes I feel like I lost the whole benefit of managing tasks because it's all just time-consuming and over-complicated. I've been using it for a while and sometimes I still can't find what I'm looking for.. it doesn't feel intuitive.

Pros

- Wide functionality.
- Different views to suit different needs at work.
- Easy and fast to use.
- Very reliable.
- Great for project tracking.

Cons

- Sometimes there is a lag when creating tasks or documents.

Pros

ClickUp helped us to get all our project resources consolidated in one place making it easy to organize our projects. It provide amazing dashboards and visualizing tools that allows us to monitor the progress of our projects easily. It has great information sharing and chatting functions that help us to work smoothly together when collaborating on projects. ClickUp allows unlimited customization which enabled us to have it setup in accordance with our needs. The automations in ClickUp made it easy for us to setup our projects and attend to the repetitive tasks.

Cons

There has never been anything wrong with ClickUp since the day we started using it. There lacks anything to dislike about it.

Pros

The ability to easily track and manage tasks is a standout feature of ClickUp, significantly improving work efficiency. The comments and reply functionality within tasks facilitate seamless communication, making teamwork more streamlined and effective.

Cons

Currently, I haven't encountered any drawbacks. I will provide feedback if I come across any in the future.

Pros

It has ever been straightforward to carry out task and project management through real-time workflow automation.

Cons

I have not yet discovered any flaw on this PPM tool.

Pros

I loved ClickUp for its ease of use in creating to-do lists and setting timelines for them. ClickUp supports our organizational capabilities and brings members together on a single workflow chart, which unifies goals and increases focus on completing tasks on time. I loved the ease of making updates and sending alerts or inquiries to other colleagues directly from the same page. I loved that all details and inputs are documented with ClickUp, so that the project page becomes a reference for everyone to implement accurate follow-up and push pending activities. The dashboards are amazing, as they can be configured according to the project’s needs, and I loved that they are automatically updated according to the latest updates, which makes them ready to view at any time.

Cons

With the multiple versions and updates, the negatives have almost disappeared, and working with the rest of the team using ClickUp has become more efficient and enjoyable as well.

Pros

I loved ClickUp's ability to simplify the collection of team tasks and consolidate them into one schedule. I loved the ease of reversing member updates and finding expected closing dates. ClickUp's organizational features are great, ensuring that attachments exchanged between members are transferred to the project file.

Cons

I have no negatives to consider with ClickUp. The design is elegant and access to all features and panels is easy. I appreciate its strictness in adhering to some formats in reports or dashboards as this ensures their formality.

Pros

Creation of unlimited gantt charts and real-time chat for team collaboration is what I like most.

Cons

It doesn’t have built-in message board but I have merged with external apps.

Pros

ClickUp not only automated PM and TM but also offers instant messaging and chat features.

Cons

Need I say something really, thanks for asking, but ClickUp accomplishes all my needs without complications.

Pros

ClickUp offers an extensive range of features in one place. BIM, live chat and PPM are my favorite capabilities which I use on a daily basis at workstation.

Cons

I rarely come across any issue when managing tasks with ClickUp.

Pros

ClickUp is one of the best tools on the market today. Their variety of templates available is incredible. My team and I use this tool for project management and CRM needs. They have a variety of plans to fit a variety of needs - from the free forever plan to a small teams plan priced at $7/user, a mid-size team plan priced at $12/user and an enterprise team plan. The available features on the free forever plan alone are incredible and include the ability to use unlimited tasks, have unlimited plan members, use whiteboards, enjoy real-time chat, and use many different views. Also included in the free forever plan is 24-7 support. I'm not aware of any other tool that has such a robust feature offering for a free plan. It's served my team and I very well with our PM & CRM needs at no additional cost. As a small business with a carefully managed budget, this tool has supported my business operations in such a healthy and productive manner. I highly recommend to businesses, from small to large.

Cons

ClickUp has a learning curve, like all software, that depends on the user's familiarity with similar software and ability to dedicate time to learn. The good thing with the templates though, is that they are marked with levels from beginner friendly to more advanced.

Reasons for Switching to ClickUp

Pros

You can easily track projects and collaborate with team members while at the same time create recurring tasks and projects to save time later. I love how it keeps me organized and directs my day.

Cons

Learning how to use the templates and getting everything initially set up was a challenge.

Pros

Click-up is easy to use, visually stimulating, well organized and can provide a great snapshot of company projects, timelines and status. The FAQs are great and so are the Youtube videos.

Cons

I liked everything about Click-Up. I did not have any cons when using this program.

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Switching to ClickUp

Pros

I loved the detail and customiseability of the entire platform. I'd previously mapped out my core processes and it was intuitive to put them into projects and tasks and assign times etc. When everything was set up and out of my head ClickUp felt like it could manage everything and as I worked, I updated, so everything was visibly on track (or not) and nothing was forgotten. Thats a lot of peace of mind.

Cons

The heavier in detail I went, the more it needed updating and attention. I had a period a couple of months in where for whatever reason i stopped using it and cracked on with a busy period and when I came back to it, there was far too much time required to go through all the projects etc so it kind of fizzled out. If there is a team of you, and someone other than the owner becomes the champion of ClickUp I can see this being a game changer.

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Switching to ClickUp

Pros

ClickUp has the best visual collaborations which are based on real-time communication and this helps because I can have video and audio conference's with my team members at ease and we work on projects.

Cons

It has nothing to get alarmed that is a worry with the system.

Pros

I love being able to set up a project all at once and craft a timeline. Then only the next steps I need to do pop up in my to-do list every day. It's a great way to avoid the overwhelm of looking at all the to-dos at once.

Cons

It has SO many options and tools, it's a little hard to learn them all or explore ones that might be helpful.

Pros

Task management, customizable workflows, and integration with other tools.

Cons

Complex interface, which can be overwhelming for beginners, and occasional performance slowdowns. It also requires time to fully customize.

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Switching to ClickUp

Pros

It’s ease-of-use, flexibility, and the fact that it is very customizable allowing any type of business to utilize the software efficiently.

Cons

Copy and pasting formatted documents out of ClickUp, going in to ClickUp needs work. Tables do not copy over nicely, or at all really. Spreadsheets could use some attention as well. Yes, they copy over, but they don’t format that well visually.

Pros

ClickUp can make your work more organized by allowing you to create various spaces in which you can divide your companies or departments to make your tasks be where they belong. You can use a few default views to sort your lists of tasks. It is perfect for managing projects, keeping your work documented and well planned. It is also great for collaboration.

Cons

My biggest issue with ClickUp is it has a lot of problems during meets. I am not able to comfortably present the project to the team, or scrum along with them.

Pros

I really like ClickUp's versatility. It has a wide range of features and could potentially replace many other software solutions. For small and growing teams, it provides a great way to organize and visualize work. Lastly, ClickUp's AI is a great tool to help my team search for items.

Cons

ClickUp's automation setup process is not user-friendly and easy to get started with. It also lacks some seemingly basic features, like automatically creating subtasks in a task upon a trigger.

Reasons for Switching to ClickUp

Pros

Tremendous online project planning, organising and management. Milestone activity, time and expense tracking. Ongoing project progress management. Ease of deployment and possession of unique advanced features.

Cons

I don't think of single one since it makes it beyond we expected.

Pros

Calculated risk levels linked to an integrated assessment adaptable to user needs and including automated task dependencies and priority changes. Collaboration tools that enable several analysts to work on a single intricate assessment while also managing data cohesion.

Cons

The Gantt chart may have more integrated forms of graphical interface for timeline management for the assessment projects. Specific opportunities are available when it comes to developing assessment templates. There exists an opportunity for even more flexibility with respect to reporting as metrics in the reporting dashboard.

Pros

Clickup allows you to build out processes and workflows where you can manage them from a single place while also allowing internal/external members to see "where things are at" in terms of deliverables.

Cons

Clickup has an insane amount of customization and that can be overwhelming if you're coming into it cold and if you start building things as a newbie, there's a good chance down the road or when you go to scale that you made some poor organizational decisions (speaking from experience).

Reasons for Switching to ClickUp

Pros

The ability to have multiple types of projects in the same space with different layouts.The UI is clean and easy to use which makes it easy to navigate.

Cons

It could be little bit cheaper otherwise the customer service is amazing.

Pros

I would highly recommend ClickUp to a friend or colleague. It has greatly improved my productivity and project management, offering a versatile platform that adapts to various needs.

Cons

While ClickUp is a powerful tool, it can feel a bit overwhelming at first due to the extensive range of features. However, once you get familiar with the interface, it becomes much easier to navigate and customize to your needs.

Pros

It is a fully fledged all in one solution for Product Development.
We use it from creating and tracking high level goals to individual projects and even our ticket system is here.
Added to that it has a robust set of supporting features like Documents, Graphs, and Video recording (for help videos etc.)

Cons

It can be unreliable, from just beeing very slow in general, to loading issues that keep cropping up where I can't edit Task descriptions because the field is just in a loading loop.
To a lesser degree for a user but for me as an admin:
Upselling, they are constantly trying to upsell you, from AI to courses to the business plus plan (which on their pricing page they don't even list, but they love gating little things behind)
Similiarly they love to tell you how easy it is to add a user in the middle of a month, but remove one and suddenly you have "an open seat" that you should quickly fill since you are already paying for it. Those and other examples just make the practices feel very money grabby and I'm kind of fearing them taking away features just to add into another extra premium fee.

Reasons for Switching to ClickUp

Pros

Click up has SO many features! Even their free version is loaded with different tools to help you organize/plan/create/coordinate etc.. I love all of the options that are available throughout the experience of uing Clickup. Users are able to tailor and personalize almost all default settings/templates at every step along the way. I also appreciate the emphasis on versatility and adaptability of this software. This software is fully functional for user's Work and/or Personal goals/projects/plans etc.. as well as when being utilized as an individual user or within a team of user's who are collaborating..

Cons

The software has so many great features and options but the one downside is accessibility and ease of use for user's. The app on my IOS apple iphone SE was almost unusable (for me!) I am not an expert when it comes to using software but I'm also not a novice. For me the app was very confusing and took so much time/energy to set up that it was not worth even trying.

Pros

I think the most liked thing about ClickUp is the integrations module, you can make a real powerful tool with those.

Cons

I think the freemium plans had some issues when upgrading from those, we had some problems starting our journey with ClickUp

Pros

We love that we can assign tasks, subtasks, comments, etc to team members and assign due dates with automated notifications via email. It has helped us work on large events to small campaigns. I especially like the UI/UX with the customizable columns for project statues. This helps us to keep our teams project language.

Cons

I wish it was easier to quickly view a project in different ways (calendar, list, columns ,etc.) This can be done but it doesn't feel intuitive to me how to switch between those views quickly.

Reasons for Switching to ClickUp

Pros

I like how easy it is to track projects with all its details well listed. Simple layouts which makes it a neat and organized platform. Gives a wider view to team's projects and bring a fresh perspective to the task at hand.

Cons

Can get a little overwhelming with too many tasks at hand. Adapting more automation features would do wonders.

Pros

Coming from an Agile background, and many other methodologies before that, when we encountered ClickUp it really impressed us.
It's taken the best from these worlds and implemented a "best of class" user interface to deliver a very useful product.

Cons

1. Missing LINE UP from the mobile app
2. Ability to share lists/tasks between workspaces so we don't have to keep switching into the clients workspace and then back
3. Progress reports on the dashboard - things like "how many tasks were completed this week" - broken down by workspace/space/list - this would be very compelling and motivating for team members
4. Explaining how the user licenses work at the outset could be better - we almost got charged a hefty bill for people who weren't full users.
