Clickup is a great software for Scheduling Meetings and Delegating Tasks and While integrating with Google Calendar it can really boost efficiency and make Scheduling easier than ever. And with Zoom meetings, we can Schedule Meetings and With Integrated Google Calendar it makes …
Chose ClickUp
ClickUp is more efficient than all of these tools combined. Trello only has one type of view, kanban. You can't customize it to list, dashboard, or calendar. Notion is much harder to manage my company's departments and connect everything like ClickUp. Notion doesn't have the …
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
I think monday.com is a bit easier to uise and a bit more user friendly and cleaner looking. ClickUp is similar but I think takes some more time to get used to and to learn how to use it effectively. I think monday.com is better for groups and ClickUp is a bit better for …
Chose ClickUp
  • Ability to assign multiple assignees to a single task and ability to assign comments
  • The ability to send emails directly from the ClickUp platform
  • Integrations with all of the core software tools we use on a daily basis
Chose ClickUp
Trello is more complex compared to Clickup and I haven't tried its customer support team as well as I have tried Clickup's.
Chose ClickUp
I prefer ClickUp to similar tools as it is far easier to use. It has more capabilities and doesn't require a lot of time to understand. I enjoy that you can view your projects in multiple ways through ClickUp. While it is easy to use, it's also very customizable so I can make …
Chose ClickUp
ClickUp Business Plan Task Record ✔️ Prioritization ✔️ Task Snooze ✔️ Customization ✔️ Start Date ✔️ Templates ✔️ The other software that I tried do not do all of these things.
Chose ClickUp
ClickUp is a very complete tool that brings together almost all the functions that other task managers contain. We know that there are some very simple and others more complex. ClickUp goes from the simple to the more complex. No matter the size of your project, ClickUp can …
Chose ClickUp
ClickUp is completely cloud-based which helps to manage my work from different places. Notion offers a desktop app but I faced difficulty syncing. Microsoft Planner was very handy but it lacks features compared to ClickUp. Wrike and Todoist are more focused on to-dos and face …
Chose ClickUp
I was using Asana when an employee, who'd taken it upon herself to deploy her own project management for her own daily tasks, convinced me to try it. The initial changeover was somewhat confusing, but the tools available in ClickUp convinced me to make the switch permanent. …
Chose ClickUp
Asana is a more simple tool. I used it before discovering ClickUp, and as I said before, ClickUp offers me much more integrations, a friendly UX experience and also is very simple to use for my team.
Chose ClickUp
The automations in ClickUp work a lot better than Monday's and Asanas. The overall color scheme of ClickUp is easier on the eyes too. Zoho doesn't have folders and we can't break down the projects as easily. Monday only allows a certain number of automation. The price is …
Google Calendar
Chose Google Calendar
Google Calendar is more user-friendly. ClickUp is more for professionals and those who have the computer knowledge to add detailed information. Google Calendar is more versatile and more commonly used among individuals and businesses. Easily connect with other applications.
Chose Google Calendar
Aside from being easier to use, Google Calendar appears to be more organized. To avoid having to move between daily, weekly, and monthly views, I prefer that numerous views are available at a time. Because it syncs with Google Meet, it's really simple not just to schedule …

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.

I think it's appropriate for everyone that meets with customers, meets with people within their businesses. I even put my personal calendar on my work calendar. I'm just looking at it every day, so I think everyone could use it.

  • Being able to group a team much easier so I don't have to add the same people over and over again without having to have access right to create a Google group
  • Room or space management, because of repeating events the rooms of the office tend to be always "occupied" but not everyone is there due to how the new hybrid way of working is
  • Better way of working together in the calendar events where it's easier for the team to prepare if I give a clearer better UI of all the documents/presentations they might need to look over

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
ClickUp
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.

It's a bit outdated on how things should be working, the UI per say hasn't changed much and I believe there is still a lot more room for improvement in how the calendar shows, the creating process, the parameters on setting up an event and it could be better integrated with the g-suite and other tools

Reliability and Availability
ClickUp
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.

Performance
ClickUp
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
ClickUp
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.

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.

Most of the other services we would use don't have the same integration with other Google services that Google Calendar has. The ability to view and set things from your email is very convenient. So is the ability to have your notifications automatically show up on an Android phone as a reminder.

Scalability
ClickUp
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
ClickUp
  • Before ClickUp, my team would have multiple different project trackers, all in different locations, formatted in different ways. ClickUp has allowed us to move all those trackers into one location with a specified template and the ability to directly link tasks to tickets. This has greatly impacted project deliveries in a very positive way.
  • The time tracking feature of ClickUp has been amazing for our development team. Instead of them having to track in a separate document or at the end of every day, try to remember what they worked on and when, they instead can just hit a timer button on the ticket and go off to work. This alone has saved time and improved the accuracy of tracked time to projects.

  • Essential tool to develop remote work within the company during Covid.
