Asana vs ClickUp

My experience in Asana is more than two years, and I really enjoyed the experience and working with my teams, as Asana provides effective communication between us and spread the fun, enthusiasm, and achievement in work faster, as I used conversations to inform the team what I want, follow up, comment on the tasks and inform them that the work is finished.

ClickUp is a great project and task management tool. If you have multiple projects running at the same time, the hierarchy makes it easy to get an overview on where every project is at. It is also a great collaboration tool for team members and multiple departments. The comment sections make it easier to provide feedback on a project or task. Lastly, creating automated workflows would be the best thing about ClickUp. The team does not have to remember the whole process, use automations to insert checklists and subtasks for the whole process.

• Easy to use by any user (good UX and no installation needed)
• Easy to create a simple project, add tasks and sub tasks.
• Different display options, according to the project/tasks type
• Works great using a web browser, you don't have to install the application

• Allows you to keep all documentation in one place - really easy to upload or create documents in the app
• Super easy to connect with colleagues on specific projects/ tasks and collaborate on the work to be done
• Ease of use - very user-friendly; we've never been able to implement a new application as quickly as we did ClickUp

• Some users might find the user interface a bit dull and un inspired
• We found the way to use multiple workspaces a bit confusing
• It takes quite a bit of planning to build a well organized workspace in order not to have way too many projects and tasks all over the place

• Integrations for better tracking especially on the goal side
• A quick tutorial and assistance when a new user is added to a project/folder
• Bugs. Windows app freezes and doesn't update. I have to close the app and re-open to get the changes to appear

• 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.

We're very pleased with how the system works in general. For over a year we've barely ever had any problems with ClickUp and there might have only been one or two times when it wasn't operational for us due to a global emergency. Moreover, when we had a problem once with renewing our licenses we've been contacted directly by our account manager and taken care of in a very professional way (with a due refund as well). The exceptional customer service makes us firmly believe that ClickUp is just the right tool for us.

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.

It's pretty easy to figure out without having to invest a bunch of time researching how to use it. The additional different views and themes can really help you personalize how you like to see information, both physically and aesthetically.

Working with Asana on a daily basis

Having used ClickUp for less than a year in my current organization, there have been only a couple of times when errors occurred and we've been unable to access our projects. However these have only been very brief, and did not negatively impact us. I recall these times only lasted for no more than an hour or so

I understand that it's a beast and does a lot of things, which is probably why it's laggy. But I do find it takes longer than I'd like to load, and if I am sending a complex document to a client or team member they aren't quite sure if they're getting the right thing at first. This is actually a pretty significant problem - my biggest beef with ClickUp.

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.

Using ClickUp is fairly easy. There are multiple guides on how to use all of the functions in the system. An organization wanting to start working with ClickUp should simply try it out and see how it would like to adapt its workflow to the possibilities the system gives the users.

I like how extensive the capabilities are for Asana. With other softwares it seems there are many things lacking. I feel like Asana is also a very user friendly platform and aesthetically pleasing which is important in a modern office. We have many young people entering our workspace and it is important to have software that is ahead of the times in functionality and efficiency.

I compared ClickUp to Trello and Monday. I picked ClickUp because several other speakers and consultants recommended it. My business strategist at the time also helped me to set it up, which was appealing. I'm very glad I picked ClickUp as it's been intuitive to use by myself and my team. We've created a library of resources that I couldn't imagine not having access to.

I did not.

I used this tool on a daily basis at work and it runs as a solid rock

As long as organizations are thoughtful when setting up their workspace, I believe that ClickUp is very scalable. For example, we have divided our spaces into functional areas, and further organized projects into a folder system within spaces. By being thoughtful in the early stages of set up, I believe we are avoiding a disorganized situation down the line where projects lack any clear structured hierarchy.

• 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.

• I'm not sure how to quantify it but the new hire onboarding automation that we built within ClickUp saved so much manual work with teams not needing to reach out again and again over email or through Slack to ask where a task was in the project timeline. Everyone could just go to ClickUp to see where it stood on the timeline. It likely saved us hours and reduced redundant work.
