Bentley ProjectWise vs. ClickUp

Well suited to large projects & organizations where there may be 2 or 3 applications used in parallel to do what ProjectWise can do on its own.

Small to mid size startups can get real benefits from clickup, where accountability & organization is getting started. Creating tickets for each client in the beginning would be overwhelming, but very necessary as scale is attained, and clickup is THE platform for this. Jira *A direct competitor) might feel overwhelming or legacy coded due to its target of MNC being their customers. A new age platform like clickup can be used. The breadth it serves from project tracking to time-wise reports & alerts are useful for startups like mine

• organize projects
• create restore points/audit trail
• locking files and not providing access to certain users
• collaborative files

• Via ClickUp we are able to handle the sales pipeline and proper history on those leads.
• Have created the ticket creation workflow for our clients for our support teams and technical teams.
• Customised dashboards and even with the AI brain we have created our customer agents who are helping us in day to day operations.
• ClickUp inbuilt AI Notetaker is a good tool because after each meeting it has the ability to create the meeting notes for us.

• It's worse than a virus, it WILL get into every part of your system, with the only way to get rid of it is to do a full system format.
• Integration is dependent on if Bentley wishes to support your software.
• DMS system, it just makes it incompatible with native programs unless you have integration, which is at Bentley's discretion for support, exporting to your system is a work around, though this takes significant time to export and to re-teach PW linked file locations when you reimport it.
• Clunky user interface, if you want to work on more than 1 file at a time expect to be at least 50-80% slower.
• a Labyrinth of forms that are prone to user error.
• Interface straight out of Windows 2000, and that's generous.
• Inability to delete or even "Recycle bin" files, this is more an admin issue but most PW instance lock out deleting files, which makes it impractical for general use.
• Encourages unnecessary and convoluted workflows, This comes down to the Pro of "The backend is customisable," it may be customisable but this encourages system admins to write convoluted and time consuming workflows just because they can.
• Seems to require an IT team to manage it - this probably relates to the highly customisable component.

• 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.

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.

It is simple to use once users become familiar with it & it has a familiar Windows-like interface.

In general, I think the usability is probably great. The reason I didn't give it as high of a score is because at the last 2 companies I worked at, they each used different software. So I was already used to those. Learning their UI isn't hard, but always a little annoying to learn something new.

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 are genuinely helpful and really nice to deal with. I had a bug on my workspace that I’d been experiencing for a while. They looked into it for me and asked some questions. Once they found the issue and resolved it, they even filmed a video detailing how they’d fixed it. That level of support is fantastic.

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.

I think ProjectWise is better for technical users than Dropbox, one drive, or SharePoint. It is less intuitive than any of the others though. It is better for restoring files and creating an audit trail than any of the other programs. It is better for sharing large files in a short period of time than SharePoint or one drive. It is also better for larger teams and larger projects than SharePoint or Dropbox.

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.

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.

• Provides a central place for people to store files.
• Incredibly long time to fill out forms to initialise a file. 4 hours to update files instead of about 10mins.
• Significantly longer to open drawings. up to 1.5mins to open vs about 10seconds.
• Can't easily batch script over files, thus making this workflow either ineffective or redundant. Scripts can take 10mins to do an hours worth of repetitive tasks.
• Restricts you to 1 file at a time, so rather than in the morning opening 10-15 files at once and doing other work while they open you have to site their and open via dialogue boxes each and every file. This can take 10-15mins of your morning run.
• People seem to email more documents unofficially now, which kind of defeats the first point.

• 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!
