ClickUp is a productivity platform that brings together work apps, data, and workflows. Also presented as a Converged AI Workspace, ClickUp eliminates work sprawl to provide context and a single place for humans and agents to work together. The platform currently boasts over 20 million users worldwide. ClickUp Brain² is deeply embedded into the workspace, offering conversational intake for project scoping and autonomous task generation. It can transform brainstorming docs…
ClickUp is substantially better than Project. Nearly everything, from the interface to the AI to the way processes can be automated, cannot even be compared between the two.
We actually liked monday.com it just was too expensive as you have to pay for every user - even if they only leave a comment every few months. Some promised integrations from monday.com just didn't probably work or have been extremely limited. All the promising automation …

Chose ClickUp
I think ClickUp works the best out of these. It gives the professional look and feel I need and whilst I find it a little more challenging to use it is the most useful. There are not loads of random features that get in the way. My only problem is it can be slow to load.
I initially used MS To Do to track tasks and deliverables however it was extremely limited in its functionality. I found that most users would not update task statuses since you couldn't send reminders or other notifications. MS To Do has only 2 possible statuses - In Progress …
Basecamp had much more simple interface and very simple tools. I would say it is nowhere near as comprehensive of a solution as ClickUp and wouldn't recommend it for someone looking for a robust tool. Workamajig was very structured, but I didn't think it was as fluid or easy to …
I found ClickUp to be the best overall solution because it's simple to use, and it allows you to centralize the tasks management and communication needs of an organization.
Compared with other project management tools we evaluated, ClickUp offered the best balance of flexibility, customization, and centralized collaborations. It allows us to manage task, documentations, project timelines, dashboard, automations, and cross-functional work within …
Overall, we selected ClickUp because it gives us one configurable platform for managing work from planning through execution, reporting, and continuous improvement, while also providing AI capabilities that can improve productivity as our organization scales.The addition of …
ClickUp is more robust and customizable than the ones we tried. I like Notion's user interface but seems more powerful to track progress. We didn't need the timetracker part of Monday and Asana seemed a little too cumbersome. So ultimately we went with ClickUp because it had …
I used Asana before using ClickUp. Not only was it far more expensive, but the limitations were to a point that it was affecting our speed of fulfillment and requiring additional third-party tech stacks that cost more money at a higher price per user. There were so many …
ClickUp and other platforms do not even begin to compare, in my opinion. ClickUp is in a completely different league due its complexity and capability. ClickUp allows for so much more in a much more efficient and productive way than the other platforms I have used. You can do …
I like both Monday and Asana in terms of project management because of the manner in which they simplify the overall user experience from the start. ClickUp, however, has proved to be better at keeping cross collaboration true and efficient.
ClickUp offer far more for the price than any of these solutions. We're not a large business and cannot facilitate experience or expansive integrations or rigig processes, which I think Hubspot used to be good at, but now they've all turned into behemoth businesses that don't …
Jira isn't flexible enough, the interface is too structured and more traditional, we wanted something leaner and more flexible.
Trello, when we evaluated it, was too limited, we wanted the multiviews that ClickUp offered and it was a deal breaker there.
Linear is too focused …
ClickUp is the most well rounded project management tool on the market. The functionality, customization, and aesthetic made ClickUp an easy choice. Other tools were lacking key pieces to our functionality. ClickUp has it all.
While Jira proved too technical and difficult for non-IT departments to adopt, ClickUp offered us much greater accessibility and flexibility. InvGate was very useful for incident management but fell short when it came to managing entire projects from conception to execution.
I think it is great for task management and project management. It allows for much easier cross-team collaboration. Personally, I found it useful as a project and team manager to better keep track of all the deliverables that have been assigned to various members of the team. It is less appropriate to use as a CRM even though the website mentions it can be used as one, it still lacks many features which a full-fledged CRM would provide.
Task Management - you can easily track details and notes of the tasks, deadlines and important dates, and notes and key links for the task. This has really leveled up how we manage projects and tasks.
Operational efficiency - by tracking where time goes the most or which tasks go the most, it enables you to identify areas where the most time is being spent and if that process needs to be improved or changed to streamline workflow.
SOP/Document storage - it is easy to create documents for standard operating procedures and processes and have a file to easily locate and reference them.
Files for projects or clients - ClickUp allows you to create separate files, folders, and subfolders to easily store and locate any corresponding tasks, projects, or important documents for that specific project or client.
AI overview - for tasks or documents with longer note sections or that have spanned more time and have more notes involved, ClickUp has an AI overview tool that helps with summarizing.
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.
ClickUp is generally very usable once the workspace is properly organized. The flexibility of views, custom fields, task structure, dashboards, and automations makes it easy to adapt the platform to different teams and workflows. The main reason I would no rate it a 10 is that the amount of functionality can make the interface overwhelming, specially for new users. large workspaces with many custom fields, notifications, views, and hierarchy levels can also require some training and ongoing governance.
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.
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.
ClickUp is more robust and customizable than the ones we tried. I like Notion's user interface but seems more powerful to track progress. We didn't need the timetracker part of Monday and Asana seemed a little too cumbersome. So ultimately we went with ClickUp because it had the most potential... potential that we still have yet to harness.
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.
