Jira Core is Atlassian's general purpose business and project management tool available to smaller companies or teams and designed to suit a variety of purposes (e.g. marketing planning, product roadmap, etc.). In Jira Core, Workflows define process and enable teams to track tasks. Jira Core Cloud instances also have boards that let users visualize workflows and drag and drop tasks from to-do to done. It is available on the cloud.
They all are in one place, ClickUp. The cost-benefit analysis pointed out that ClickUp would be able to drive an improvement in the department and teams' collaboration at a lower cost.

Chose ClickUp
ClickUp is more complete than most of the other competitors on the list and is more focused on being awesome in providing the tools necessary for project management, including Agile methodologies, timetracking, and many more. For a software development company like mine, …
I see that the interface is very important both for the first acquaintance and for constant use. Ease of use, customization is what distinguishes it from all the others
Throughout my career, I have used at least a dozen different project management platforms and tools for keeping projects moving along. While I have used project management tools from some impressive names, I found that most of them weren't very impressive at all. In so many …
The main or the most important thing is that we can have all those software in just one. This simplifies the way we work, how we stay organized, and how we share information company-wide. Also, reducing the number of accounts for new employees and reducing their complexity …
ClickUp gathers in one single place the tools we need for management, in addition, it makes it simple to understand how the tool works and get the most out of it.
It offers a lot more; cut's down on the need to visit other websites. All the information is under a single website/desktop application. For example, Atlassian owns multiple software, but each is separate. ClickUp reduces the need to switch and sign into multiple …
ClickUp is as if someone had taken the best functions and usability of each of the tools on the market, put them in a bag, shaken them well, and then used this beautiful paint to paint the Mona Lisa of Productivity. That's it.
Asana: Task listing capabilities Task outline and timelines At the time of use, did not have email integration features ClickUp allows you to share a doc; this tool didn't have that at the time of evaluating Jira: Sprint Management Dashboard view of tasks based on status …
It's one place when I have all my stuff, notes, tasks, on one single dashboard I can place my tasks as in Jira and inside of them I can do all kings of notes about them, create substasks, dependencies, etc. And one click away from that part I can store all my other notes so …
Personally I would not choose Jira Work Management for a marketing team. However, the marketing team was enveloped into the Jira Work Management instance due to use by more technical teams.
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.
Jira Work Management suits projects involving multiple teams, such as product development. In our case, the design, development, and QA teams use Jira to track tasks from ideation to deployment. Custom workflows and real-time updates ensure that all teams are on the same page, and the ability to link related tasks helps manage dependencies effectively.
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.
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.
As we are Atlassian users overall, this entire ecosystem is truly built from a 360 perspective. It becomes the one source of truth, and we can easily see where we are in our projects and where to emphasize focus in the upcoming period. There are some areas for minor improvements, but they are more a matter of preference rather than business necessity
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.
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.
The evolution of Jira Service Desk to Jira work management is accompanied by lot of new features like the List View which allows inline editing, easy column management, the Calendar View bases on extensible modal and state categories, the Timeline View supports tasks and subtasks, the Boards which allow the categorization of status and allow the visibility of subtasks on the cards, Forms can be created very easily, Project templates can be used based on the business area.
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.
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.
For our marketing team, Jira Work Management caused us to lose valuable work time due to manual updates that could have been automated.
Due to lack of creative review tools within Jira Work Management, our team had to pursue other tools that do not integrate with Jira Work Management, thus creating additional OpEx.
