Considered Both Products
ClickUp
Chose ClickUp
They are all very similar, but ClickUp was easier to use. The UX design is great, everything falls into place. I didn’t have to train anyone from the team on how to use it. They easily understood how it works. It’s simple, clear and straightforward. Every move you make, it’s …
Chose ClickUp
Monday and Notion look great, but ClickUp's integrations and artificial intelligence (AI) features are way more powerful in comparison. ClickUp is also better suited for larger teams that have more moving parts, so if that sounds like your business, ClickUp will likely prove to …
Chose ClickUp
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
Although I did enjoy some of the other competition, ClickUp made the most sense for our team. It provides robust tools, an easy interface, and the support we need.
Chose ClickUp
Combine its features and have a massive focus on flexibility. Like gant views, task hierarchy, not necessarily too complex options and process.
Jira was more for programmers as well as MS Project.
Todo and Planner are too simple and missing gant or hierarchy of tasks.
Monday was …
Chose ClickUp
We selected ClickUp firstly for the ease of use of the platform. It was very simple and easy to understand. We also liked how ClickUp offered "Guest" seats for free so we could allow many employees to only view information in ClickUp without having to pay for a full license. …
Chose ClickUp
ClickUp offers more flexibility and customization, and the ability to share tasks and items between people and projects.
Chose ClickUp
ClickUp is great for customization, especially with the use of tag, we can easily reconize tasks that require special care. In addition, the wide range of function available in free version of ClickUp is what made us stand with ClickUp. With limited research budget, it is a …
Chose ClickUp
Very well. There is no comparison as it;s simple to use.

Those tools are very complicated
Chose ClickUp
I’m a big believer in the executive team at clickup. I don’t think any other productivity company out there has a bigger BHAG than the CEO of clickup.

So, with that being said, I know they will continue to strive to be better and better and help people save more and more of our …
Chose ClickUp
ClickUp had far more features and was easier to use than any of the other platforms we evaluated. It continues to "stand the test of time" as our organization rolls out new ideas for project management. It's flexibility and ease of use keeps it ahead of the game. ClickUp's …
Chose ClickUp
ClickUp is more customizable than any of these other apps that I have worked with. Asana is great, but it has some serious limitations if you are working with a team, including assigning multiple people to a task. The pricing is also much better than the other options.
Chose ClickUp
For smaller organizations it's my #1!
For larger and more complex user needs I generally lean towards Salesforce.
But overall and even for personal use I recommend ClickUp. The fact they are always trying to improve their platform and offerings gives them leg up in my books. I …
Chose ClickUp
ClickUp allows for the project set-up that most closely aligns with our organization.
Chose ClickUp
After an exhaustive search for the right program/app, ClickUp's fully customizable functionality was the reason that we chose the app. Because the needs of sales operations to track product, sales, customer service tickets, and other varied duties; having a generic set-up was …
Chose ClickUp
I prefer the layout and additional fearerss such as the chat, white board and view all lists from the folder level.
Chose ClickUp
ClickUp blows other products out of the water from what I've seen or been able to do with them in the past. It's not only super flexible, it also contains functions that may require you to duplicate information between different software's elsewise or at least need you to use …
Chose ClickUp
I would say that ClickUp provides a tool for some that is exactly what they need. Monday may provide that for others, and Asana, Trello, and Dubsado may provide the answers many are looking for. I think it comes down to personal needs, preference, and also cost for many. For …
Chose ClickUp
With each of the other platforms I've used, there was no one-stop-shop. We always had to use outside platforms or add-on processes to supplement what was missing. Sure they had good enough features but good enough wasn't good enough. We are an innovative company that operates …
Chose ClickUp
After spending a great deal of time with alternative tools, we found that the functionality and flexibility of ClickUp far surpassed other products on the market. The integrations alone meant that we could reduce or eliminate duplicate functions and keep our teams focused …
Chose ClickUp
ClickUp has a much more customizable product and they put out new features/fixes more rapidly than any of their competitors. Their API is well documented and supports many features and their support team is top-notch for thinking outside the box to find creative solutions when …
Chose ClickUp
We found that ClickUp works better for our team because we collaborate quite a lot, and it was easier to set up shared jobs and tasks for us on ClickUp. We also find it quicker to use and update.
Chose ClickUp
ClickUp was more affordable and has so many features compared to these other tools. I also believe ClickUp has a really strong community and support system. They rolled out so many features month after month for a while that it was like Christmas every Friday, waiting to see …
Chose ClickUp
These apps are good, but ClickUp is GREAT. ClickUp even allows you to move all your existing work from other apps into their platform. I have used those other apps, but ClickUps power-packed features and ease of use in building in growing in its use is second to none in my …
monday.com
Chose monday.com
ClickUp is a competitor but Monday's design is much better and user experience is superior. Also, export functions are a class above those of ClickUp. Asana is trying to compete with a lot more project management apps by picking the best features and making them available to …
Chose monday.com
I'd put monday.com and Asana on par, then ClickUp and lastly Jira. Jira would be more appropriate for exclusively technology engineering teams. Jotform offers better choices for forms use cases especially ones with complexity. Zoho makes more sense when you have the full suite, …
Chose monday.com
Is far away the best!! With monday.com I find everything I need easily. As I said before, its user-friendly interface, which is intuitive and easy to navigate.
Chose monday.com
overall, the diverse views and customization put monday.com ahead of the other platforms because its tailored for each individual. Asana is a great to do list platform, but lacks features that are needed to manage a project. click up is a great free platform, but lacks the …

ClickUp
ClickUp is great for small teams that need to collaborate on projects. It allows for tracking of project status, notes, files, and other details that keep a team and project on track. The cost is lower than competitors, which makes it more approachable for groups that are not practicing good project management.

For content marketers, I would 100% recommend Monday.com. Applications like Trello are OK for basic tasks, but I think Monday is superior when you're running campaigns alongside regular content plus ad-hoc tasks (or have more than one product to market). I can see it working well for different scenarios, like sales, customer service, and finance, but I can only speak for my industry.

Pros
ClickUp
  • Allows you to create dashboards to track your team and company's progress towards its goals.
  • Integrates docs and forms so we don't need to switch apps
  • Notifications about every update, so you never really need to go asking around for one.
  • Allows you to visualize deadlines, how each piece of work fits into the bigger picture, and see in real-time what's holding your team up

  • I love that I can color-code sections/folders (I love color-coding!)
  • I love that I can automate the majority of things on Monday
  • I love the support I'm able to get when I don't know how to do something specific, I set up a call and get tips/tricks on how to accomplish what I'm wanting

Cons
ClickUp
  • There should be a way to switch from one account to another
  • There should be a flexible plan to enable features for lower plans
  • Ability to show the to-do items on top
  • Ability to create team schedules for team members from different time zones

monday.com
  • The billing model is awful for small businesses! monday.com makes you feel like they are doing you a favour. You literally pay for seats you don't use. The billing model should be a per seat model!
  • There are too many addons from monday.com and 3rd party vendors that you have to pay for. The value of those addons is debatable are often rebuildable outside of monday.com in a single use spreadsheet (which pay monthly for an addon that you only need to use once in a while?) or organisations are already using something else in their tech stack for that addon.

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.

Teams involved in content creation, such as marketing or editorial teams, could use monday.com to manage the entire content lifecycle. Boards might track content ideas, assignments, drafts, reviews, approvals, and publication schedules, helping teams collaborate and keep content production on track.

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.

monday.com enables quick creation of a basic project plan. In our office, we don't need a big, expensive Project Management System. We need a simpler, human-usable Work Management System. Most recently, monday.com added the four Predecessor Types to their Dependency feature. FS, SF, SS, FF are now part of monday.com's Dependency offering. This was my most-needed update, and monday.com provided it! I appreciate monday.com's rich library of Templates. However, my preference is to duplicate a useful project/board, then update it for my next project.

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
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.

Everything performs fairly well. Every now and then there are user errors where an employee will not click "ok" on a note they've created and simply exit out (I do wish that something was in place to prevent this, such as a pop "are you finished?")

ClickUp support is incredible! They respond quickly with any questions about my issue, provide a timeline, and elaborate on how they will solve my problem. They are incredibly respectful and accommodating. Whenever I run into an issue, I know that ClickUp support will be happy to answer any questions and help my team out. When I start a support ticket, I know that I won't be getting sent article recommendations, I will be speaking to their customer support team immediately

Our CSM, Jonathan is AMAZING! He was only introduced to us a few months ago, and we've has fairly limited interactions so far, but he's an absolute legend! He seeks to understand our problems, workflows, etc. and carefully considers a positive outcome for us within the system's capabilities. He's a wealth of knowledge and we're really lucky to have him

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.

To have someone walk you thru the features and capabilities of Monday.com is priceless. Someone also coming along later in the contract to see if you are maximizing the program to suit your company needs is beyond helpful. The staff that have provided this training are fun, creative and very patient.

We signed up for the accounts. Created the accounts. Ran the trial version and tested it live while we were running multiple projects and found that it was fitting our needs perfectly. When the trial ended and we were asked to purchase the full version, we did. We have found other ways to use it and it's a breeze.

ClickUp
It is much more intuitive and shows more dev-driven tasks to create stories. Also, the fact that ClickUp enables the system to save multiple files from online to locally uploaded files, and GitLab is the way to archive them. Maybe Asana has new features, but I'm sure Clickup is now my family to evaluate new ideas.

We used an excel spreadsheet to track our month end close process previously which created a lot of issues around only one person being able to be in the checklist at any given time. Additionally, we were unable to have excel notify us when a task we need to have completed was done, but Monday.com has completely changed that for us!

Scalability

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.

For it to work across multiple departments and sites, I would like to see improvements made with integrations and automation. For this question, I am acknowledging not only the addition of internal triggers/automation, but also an expansion on external ones.

Return on Investment
ClickUp
  • ClickUp has had a positive impact since it has allowed the Global Operations Department to have a consistent collaboration by having this app as a repository of Projects and Programs, which has enabled a faster synchronization and stronger collaboration to better allocate resources.
  • A positive impact is a faster and clearer prioritization process for the executives since this app allows you to have a full picture of what's going on across the board.

  • My favourite example? We used it to take a failed start-up, one where the prime investor was considering pulling out - to being a listed business (EURONEXT) within 18 months. That business now has a market cap at around $200m.
  • Turnaround of a struggling health tech venture that was buried under endless spreadsheets by its investors - from loss-making to £2M EBITDA in two -years.
  • Offshoring - Through the adoption of Monday as a key workstream management tool (moving off JIRA) we were able to reduce resource costs by over £2m per annum, without any change in efficiency or quality.
