Considered Both Products
Asana
Chose Asana
Cost and the lowest ramp-up time is always factored in while still meeting the needs of a very fast-paced environment. Asana has more capability than Trello or ClickUp and is a more visual tool than JIRA.
Chose Asana
Asana generally takes less time to set up, so for my small team that has limited experience working with project management tools, Asana is great. We didn't need anything with lots of bells and whistles so Asana works well. ClickUp takes much more time to set up initially, but …
Chose Asana
Side by side with the other two Asana by far beats monday.com and is comparable and slightly better than ClickUp. Monday is completely browser-based and is hard to navigate and figure out how to set up. Asana and ClickUp are the exact opposite. Both are easy to set up and …
Chose Asana
For us, ClickUp was only implemented by department whereas Asana was implemented organization wide.
Chose Asana
Asana is better for the teams who seeks strealined, easy to use user interfaces with less complexity .

Which makes Asana a go to PMS to get things done rather then spending whole time on understanding about how feature works.
ClickUp
Chose ClickUp
ClickUp captured all the best features from all those tools. The hierarchy beats them all. In Basecamp, Trello and Asana, you have to check each board or project to see what is happening there. The Butler automation in Trello does not match what ClickUp can do. Airtable is …
Chose ClickUp
ClickUp Compared to like an Asana or Trello - it's ClickUp Hands Down! ClickUp gives you so many more features and tools to use that will help get and keep your teams on track. Your clients and staff will all be super happy once implemented.
Chose ClickUp
monday.com is more user friendly and it is easier to set up Automations. But it isn't as robust in features. There are many that I miss -- like time tracking, the ability to embed previews of files, the ability to add in emails and Slack messages as comments, and the AI fields.

I…
Chose ClickUp
Firstly, due to price. Also, each of the tools is more suited for a different market, while ClickUp is diverse and customizable enough so that we can all use the same tool. Onboarding on Asana was much easier, for personal tasks it's a more user friendly tool.
Chose ClickUp
I walked away from so many other products that I tried primarily because I wanted to have a task and productivity tool that allowed me to re-envision my 'data' at the task level. I wanted to be able to have Gantt views and dashboard views and then dive in deeper with comments …
Chose ClickUp
It combines them all with a user friendly interface and a really nice workflow. It keeps work in as less places as possible which makes it easy for new colleagues.
Chose ClickUp
ClickUp has the best UX by far. It also has the most necessary features and the fewest unnecessary features.
Chose ClickUp
- Data centralization
- Fast and clean
- Easy to manage
Chose ClickUp
All of them are based on activity management, however ClickUp stands out in several areas: integrations with other tools, management of several spaces simultaneously through views/dashboards, the vast majority of the tools listed do not allow me to have visibility of everything …
Chose ClickUp
ClickUp is by far the most easy to use, superb interface and functionality. The notifications are far superior too.
Chose ClickUp
The best feature of ClcikUp over others is it's customization as well as hierarchy. Departments, clients, operations become easier to manage if the hierarchy is setup in a good way that can allow your business scale without altering it repeatedly.
Customization is another …
Chose ClickUp
Much more flexible and complete, you can shape it for your liking.
Chose ClickUp
ClickUp can be very simple, yet very advanced. That helps us get started while providing something we can grow into as well, to avoid a future switch again.
Chose ClickUp
Because ClickUp simply aggregates all the best features from all those solutions.
Chose ClickUp
ClickUp was the best option for us given its low price, ease of use, and clean appearance. We moved from Zoho Projects, which was functional, but required advanced development knowledge to fully customize. Zoho Projects also was not as attractive or easy to use as ClickUp has …
Chose ClickUp
Harvest doesn't have a lot of the tools which ClickUp does.
Chose ClickUp
To keep it short, no other platform could keep up with my workflow, and meet all my business needs, like ClickUp does.
Chose ClickUp
The reason we keep going back to ClickUp is for it's easy ability to overlap ALL work being done within our business without needing to change screens. We also choose ClickUp for it's chat functionality and now it's AI tools.
Chose ClickUp
ClickUp is easy to setup and build environment that is friendly to even a new user.
Chose ClickUp
It's better looking, has keyboard shortcuts, more human-friendly settings, is more cost-effective, has built-in documents, and offers better search.
Chose ClickUp
Clickup does much more than all of the above, so avoids having to use multiple tools
Chose ClickUp
ClickUp offers more versatility in the way you configure spaces and project boards or lists compared to other tools I've used. I like how ClickUp seems designed to keep the setup simple. We miss Workfront's conditional formatting on request forms because the number of custom …
Chose ClickUp
Out of all the listed products I have used when it comes to project/product management ClickUp has been the most intuitive when it comes to user interface and functions. New functions and further development takes place regularly and the company is listening to its community …
Chose ClickUp
ClickUp is more complete than most of the other competitors on the list and is more focused on being awesome in providing the tools necessary for project management, including Agile methodologies, timetracking, and many more. For a software development company like mine, …

Asana
The usability of Asana is broad since it's available in a variety of platforms that are widely used nowadays. I think that it would be great for people who are constantly on the move and switching devices, since it has allowed me to work from my phone, too. I also think that Asana has proven itself to handle a large quantity of work

ClickUp
Great for project management, reoccurring task management, building trackers and keeping track of what everyone is up to. Like all software that has great functionality, having solid governance and control over access is essential. I recommend ensuring that your admins/owners have a close eye on what is going on across the space or it can turn into an unmanageable nightmare.

It has been a game-changer in terms of project tracking, as animation is a demanding product that requires multiple layers of analysis, revisions, tracking, scheduling, etc. ClickUp simplifies many approvals as anyone can easily add items, and you can tag the people who need to look at them.

Usability
Asana
It is very user-friendly. Takes a new employee an hour to start figuring out how the system works. That's an important factor. You don't want to encounter the issue where employees need a week to understand how the system works. For example, JIRA, I tried using it for a week and I still don't understand the complicated layout. Asana has a simple interface. Once you see it, you get it type of program.

Far easier to use than any other PM tool. ClickUp is incredibly intuitive and had us saving time and energy within the first week of implementation. In my opinion, PM software should make it easier to focus on the deliverables - it shouldn't take all your time and energy to learn how to use the tool in the first place. ClickUp is a user-friendly tool that actually helps us focus on what's important.

For over a year ClickUp was unavailable to us just twice for a couple of hours. I would say for a system this big and working globally that was a minor issue. They managed to fix all the issues within a couple hours and then it was back up and running perfectly fine.

The speed of ClickUp is average to be honest. This is one of the biggest flaws of the system, sometimes it's also lagging a little bit but we also have a lot of documents, lists etc. on our workspace. However, with the next version of ClickUp I've seen they are planning to increase the speed by almost 500%, probably by changing the technology, so I am more than looking forward to it.

Support Rating

I haven't had to use their support so I can't rate it. The fact that I haven't needed them reflects the ease of use of the product. I would recommend that any new users schedule a complete demo of the product to ensure that they are using it to it's fullest (there's a lot of useful features).

I started using ClickUp when it was what most would consider a baby company. There were the occasional bugs that made working in ClickUp a little bit of a headache, but the support feature allowed me to chat with a real persona and communicate my issues. I would always get prompt support and someone willing to really help me, not just point me to FAQ pages. Not feeling like a number really makes a difference.

There are multiple guides on literally all of the functions you can find within the system, therefore it's easy to learn anything you'd really like to use, starting from project and people management, down to Gantts, mind maps, time tracking, inviting Clients as guests to work with you on the projects and so much more.

Start small. Don’t try to build the most elaborate plans first. Resist the urge to get into Gantt charts if no one is used to them. Just get work written, add dates and assignees, and start getting used to it. If you did not use a work management tool before, you need to be gracious with yourself about the fact that you likely do not have the muscle memory for working this way yet. But you will get there.
And leverage people who know it if possible. Look for ClickUp experts and vendors. They can really supercharge your effectiveness at building the tool out and speed up the process.

Alternatives Considered
Asana
Asana is a top-tier project management software that helps us organize and track projects from start to finish. It allows us to apply tasks/to-dos to multiple projects without duplication, divide complex projects into smaller tasks, and track project progress. It also helps us organize work on Kanban boards or linear lists. It stands out from the crowd in a big way compared to the competition.

I did not make the decision to move to ClickUp, but I did provide feedback and hear feedback from our internal team about how ClickUp centralizes a lot of the company wides resources into one space. I feel that ClickUp provides more dynamic workflow building beyond Jira and Karbon, and tasks and questions are more searchable cross team, causing more time saved and less time reaching out to ask for an update. All Apps have their individual strengths, but ClickUp has it all live together in one space, making it easier overall for searching and updating items internally as a team.

Scaling with ClickUp is superb. If you create a workflow best suited for your organization then it's all about creating new accounts and teaching the new employees the workflow you're using. It's that simple. There is no black magic when it comes to Clickup.
