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
Asana has a clean interface and is great for basic task management, but it lacks depth in custom workflows, advanced automation, and built-in documentation. ClickUp allows us to customize everything.

Jira is eccellent for technical teams, especially in software development, but …
Chose ClickUp
ClickUp is Asana on steroids! It's so much more powerful.
Chose ClickUp
Jira is a product that was once very good, but it became too "heavy" to use, many of its tools were not useful to me at the time and only caused me noise. On the other hand, Trello is very basic for the number of tasks, relationships and objectives of our organization, it is …
Chose ClickUp
I have never been the decision maker on software like this. They are always decided by someone else before I start working for a company. ClickUp seems like the one with the most features though. My co-worker especially loves it and is the one who insisted we use ClickUp over …
Chose ClickUp
I haven't used Asana very much at all but I wasn't any more impressed with it than ClickUp. However, I wasn't in it long enough to customize it to my liking so that could have been why.
Chose ClickUp
Those are fine products, but you are more stuck in their views. Not nearly the same amount of customization. So if you just want the basic stuff, then great Asana will do a great job for you and is supported everywhere. But if you have different projects that need different …
Chose ClickUp
Asana focused on planning, maybe Clickup doesn't have that same scheme, but that's the magic, clickup also shows you features that task management should have, it has its own signature per say.
I love that Slack in their workflows has a much more developed task creation feature, …
Chose ClickUp
None of the tools that I've used have come close to ClickUp's ability to tailor to a team or user's needs, nor have they come close to ClickUp's incredible customer support. None are even in the same ballpark when it comes to ClickUp's incredible implementation of not only …
Chose ClickUp
More comprehensive, with greater customization options and integrations with other work applications such as Google Drive and Slack.

Mais completo, com mais possibilidades de personalização e integrações com outros aplicativos de trabalho como Google Drive e Slack.
Chose ClickUp
It literally nests all platforms in one. It combines the best tools from each platform and simplifies them.
Chose ClickUp
I ended up picking ClickUp over other tools because it's very flexible. I could make what I wanted with the tool.
Chose ClickUp
The short answer: other tools do individual pieces better. Productive handles financials and resourcing more natively. Notion is prettier for documentation. Monday looks slick for simple boards. But no other single platform covers the full spectrum the way ClickUp does: tasks, …
Chose ClickUp
I've mentioned most of my thoughts in other comments, but in each of those listed softwares, I only get one main feature. In ClickUp, I consolidate all of the above into one. Pretty incredible.
Chose ClickUp
Mejor integracion y visualizacion de tareas, la contabilidad del tiempo por tareas/tickets es una de las partes mas robustas de ClickUp, la integration con gitlab es una ventaja y ayuda mucho a la organizacion del trabajo, la posibilidad de agrupar tareas por grupos o tipos …
Chose ClickUp
The main reason I initially chose ClickUp over all of the others was price. Because we are a small nonprofit, our funds for this were basically $0. So the robust free version of ClickUp really sold me. Once I got in there and worked with it, I realized just how valuable this …
Chose ClickUp
ClickUp has more features integrated and well organized. Especially the concept of having Spaces, folders and lists helps a lot in organizing the projects and each having its own workflows.
Chose ClickUp
ClickUp had a more all-in-one solution for all the issues we have been trying to solve at the agency as well as an integration into our finance system (NetSuite) which helped adoption by our finance team.
Chose ClickUp
ClickUp is more visual and user-friendly, and also has the best customer service and webinars. The attention to clients is a huge differentiation between tools. The webinars are my favorite thing as they provide information, feature updates, and free templates.
Chose ClickUp
ClickUp allows for a lot more customization, so power users will be happy. But with a lot of customization comes more options, so users have to be wary when setting up projects to not overcomplicate them.
Chose ClickUp
Harvest doesn't have a lot of the tools which ClickUp does.
Chose ClickUp
Every other tool I have used has been for organizing tasks and work only. There were some of the other features, but none of them had the ability to do everything we need to manage a project from start to finish.
Chose ClickUp
I still use both. ClickUp is a little "bigger" and has some more tunning over details. When someone ask me about which to choose, my answer is "you must try them"... start using both and you'll find the best using them and asking users how they feel.
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 …

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
ClickUp is quite suitable and recommended for marketing teams, as it allows for the organization and management of tasks among teams with multiple responsibilities. In my daily work, I share tasks on ClickUp with my team, passing them through my management and integrating them with my peers (Analysts and Designers). We plan, prioritize, monitor, and complete tasks directly in the application, each with their own tasks, views, and adjusted deadlines. I believe it's not as appropriate for managing individual tasks because, although it's good for organizing workflow, it's better used by teams. O ClickUp é bastante adequado e indicado para times de Marketing, pois permite a organização e gerenciamento de demandas entre times de mútliplos responsáveis. No meu dia a dia, compartilho demandas no ClickUp com meu time, passando pela minha gestão, integrando com meus pares (Analistas e Designers). Nós fazemos o planejamento, priorização, acompanhamento e conclusão das demandas diretamente no aplicativo, cada um com suas tarefas, visualizações e prazos ajustados. Acredito que não seja tão apropriado para gerenciamento de demandas individuais, pois, apesar de ser bom para organizar o fluxo de trabalho, ele é melhor utilizado por times.

Cons
Asana
  • Asana is not really a project management tool, it is good for simple projects only
  • UI has some glitches (doesn't save preferences, etc.)
  • Integration with other tools (Office 365, MS Project)
  • No reminders if the working period you entered is on holidays

ClickUp
  • Maps functionality is basic, would be great for it to help with routing logic and daily planning.
  • Keeping track of task default locations when working on the fly can sometimes be hard to keep track of, but that's mainly an issue with me letting my AI's via MCP boat the workspace structure.
  • Permissions can be confusing and buggy, so you need to monitor and plan them really intentionally; sometimes they'll get mixed up, and your permissions to add fields, delete/access items, etc. can get buggy.

Asana
  • Mobile + Desktop capabilities - Able to use it anywhere, anytime.
  • Task management - Easy to view projects and their progress.
  • Time management - Easy to see what elements require time / how they interrelate and manage the project on an overall basis.
  • Company management - Be able to see from a master dashboard perspective where each project is in its stages of completion.
  • Clear communication - It's visually documented who is doing what at what time so that the whole project gets done.

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.

- More extensiveness when compared to features, at an affordable price. - Great productivity increase since we adopted, hence it does say the usability is good. - Quick mobile view as well, for on the go checks, reverts, comments or any updates if one has. Every comment also visible on our slack.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Return on Investment
Asana
  • Productivity - Most of all, it allows me to be more productive and have a good sense of where I am with projects and deadlines.
  • Easy to use - I can make the most of my time to get up (and stay) up and running.
  • Project coordination - Allows me to assign tasks to my interns and communicate directly within the platform to keep the work train moving.

  • Before ClickUp at my agency, we were using spreadsheets to track our client work. ClickUp made it all so much easier and more effective.
  • It helps me track down to the smallest details so I don't miss anything, and it is easy to view the information I need when I need it
  • I don't really have quantifiable numbers but I can't imagine going back to spreadsheets or what other terrible alternative we may be using otherwise!
