SOHODOX
Score 7.0 out of 10
N/A
SOHODOX is a document management system for small businesses from Indian company ITAZ Technologies.
It's great value for money for a task tracker. It does the minimum that's required and it does it well. There are many tools out there where you pay for features you'll never use. We need something simple and useful that is quick and cheap. It serves all those purposes.
Sohodox is a beneficial paperless office software product that is quick to install, cost-effective, and easy to operate; it works very well with any TWAIN compatible scanner. It is a perfect solution for small business document management that features all tools which are needed to manage electronic and paper documents more efficiently. It lets you scan, index, organize, store, search and manage documents.
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.
Overall I think the usability has been great. Managing projects is a breeze. Communication is easy and the familiarity of the UI as it is similar to a competitor's that we tried has been helpful. I do feel like if you could customize the look and feel of the UI to fit your personal comfort level (compact versus comfortable view, changing font sizes, etc.) would really go a long way to improve the usability and make it a 10/10 from me.
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.
Monday and Sunsama are both good tools, but when it comes to bigger projects across many clients, ClickUp has completely won the game. It's just so much easier to organize and manage the work across all of our clients. Collaboration is clean and clear. It's just completely surpassed either of those tools. I think Sunsama is great for a single person managing their own work, but ClickUp can do pretty much anything it can do.
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.
