Doist, a company boasting an entirely globally distributed workforce, offers Todoist, a project management platform emphasizing the needs of a distributed workforce. The application emphasizes tracking events over time with advanced closed task and progress reporting, with custom graphics for sharing or ease of review.
Todoist, at least when we were using it, felt more geared toward personal use and task orientation. It did not have the team productivity functionality, automation, task tracking, etc. Airtable is a great database but requires a second system for task management. ClickUp can …
ClickUp is the most robust of the 3 productivity tracking softwares I have used. Todoist can perform only a fraction of the functions of ClickUp, notably lacking time-tracking, automations, workflows, and Gantt viewing and details. Google Tasks was less intimidating on the …
They all disappeared - we slowly migrated from all the other apps to ClickUp and never looked back. This way, we cut our costs and stopped app switching. Sometimes, these apps have better features for a single tasks or action you want to do, but there is the added benefit in …
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.
I selected ClickUp over all of these due to the extensive functionality available. Most would do this well of that well, but nothing would fully cover all I was seeking to do in one platform, or if it did, would be missing something, such as custom fields or sub-tasks or …
ClickUp's learning curve is very low vs. other tools, but it's only suitable if you need some complexity in your task organisation. If it's only for a simple list with tasks, there are other solutions to look at.
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 …
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 …
A lot of the other websites I have visited required me to either end up paying for a subscription or required some sort of purchase. While ClickUp does have premium subscriptions, the site is just as useful with a free account. I also found ClickUp to be easier to understand …
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.
We were recommended towards other products but when we started researching our options on our own, there really wasn't any competition. ClickUp had all the customizing options we needed for complex project and task tracking with high automation. I loved the way we could add our …
When I was tasked with selecting a project management app for our company, I was impressed when I came across the robust features lists comparisons of ClickUp and its competitors. To be honest, it's what sold me on using ClickUp. I was able to at a glance see feature by feature …
I was searching for a tool that managed various level of tasks folders (and subfolders) in order to organize a very diversified job. I was also looking for a tool with a view that allowed me to see what i have to do today (not perfect in ClickUp but better than in other)
After testing lots of project/task management and productivity apps, I think ClickUp provides the best combination of functions found in other apps on the market, and has lots of useful integrations with other services.
It combines both task management, project documentation, planning in timesheet and recording the progress throughout the project. I believe it is just part of all possibilities that I personally use here. But I know that our management uses more features like specific graphs, …
ClickUp offers more features and a better experience than the others. Asana was the oldest competitor, and is great for task Management, but does not have many features beyond that.
All these apps cannot compete in the number of features and ease of integration and visualization that ClickUp offers. But most of them offer the possibility to work offline, which doesn't sound very important until you're on a flight without wifi or a place without a signal …
ClickUp has allowed us to consolidate all of the above platforms into one. Also, customizing our ClickUp views has allowed us to properly taylor our task views to our project management/team requirements in order to increase organization and boost productivity.
ClickUp has more features, which can be overwhelming but I find that you can make it work the way you need to make it work. Trello and Asana are more simple so some people might like that better but you can use ClickUp just like you use Trello or Asana and then you have the …
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 …
I tried both ClickUp and Airtable for task management, but they were too complex for my needs and each had a major learning curve. Todoist is intuitive to use from the start and not bloated with features I would never use. It was easy to jump in and add projects, tasks, and set …
Notion and ClickUp are pretty similar. I find them useful for an entire team, and for creating docs and things like that. For a basic task management system though, it's overkill and I would lose tasks constantly (not be able to find them). Trello is better for a flow with …
I've tried using project management software and other task management tools in the past but I have always come back to Todoist for its ease of use and simple yet effective functionality. It does a specific thing and does it really well without trying too hard or overextending …
Todoist is free and is much better than a Post-It note, as you will have to keep replacing the Post-It notes and you may forget about certain tasks. Not with Todoist!
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.
There have been lots of times when we need to add a new habit into our daily work routines, and having the option to do so in the To-Doist app on the very first screen is incredibly helpful. It's a good reminder, and I believe that professionals who truly appreciate and properly value the implementation of good habits would be very grateful for this feature. It's also a time saver because you don't have to manually type it in every day/week / etc.
The Todoist application now works almost identically across all platforms. There is a minor improvement that I would like to see on iOS and that is the ability to show task count by custom filter.
In Board view, I want to be able to easily add sub-tasks to a parent task.
Besides those two minor improvements, I am extremely happy with the application.
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.
Excellent features and concept, simple implementation, but the software is not very clear in training new users and communicating features. The occasional unexplained crash or freeze is not handled gracefully by the desktop software, requiring either the user or tech support to manually restart.
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.
I've used Todoist for about three years now and I haven't needed to contact support, which I'm considering a 10 out of 10. Honestly, their platform is so easy to use that I never had to look up a knowledge base or forum to be able to do what I wanted in Todoist. So I'm not sure what their support system looks like or how it works, but I do know that if I haven't needed support, that's also a good sign!
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.
[Todoist: To-Do List & Task Manager] is significantly simpler and cheaper than most of the alternatives and doesn't complicate the management of tasks with a plethora of unnecessary features. While all the alternatives have strong feature sets, what Todoist does better than any of them is manage tasks, in theory the central point of them all.
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.
Location-based reminders ensured that my staff didn't miss things when they went onsite with a customer. This has led to renewals on a regular basis.
Sharing of task visibility for managers with their direct reports has enhanced 1-on-1 meetings and ensured that field coaches kept focused
The cost of Todoist vs. the value it creates is a huge selling point for the software. For the price per user, I've found nothing that even comes close!
