None of the tools that I've used have come close to ClickUp's ability to tailor to a team or user's needs, nor have they come close to ClickUp's incredible customer support. None are even in the same ballpark when it comes to ClickUp's incredible implementation of not only …
Those are fine products, but you are more stuck in their views. Not nearly the same amount of customization. So if you just want the basic stuff, then great asana will do a great job for you and is supported everywhere. But if you have different projects that need different …
It felt easier to get started with ClickUp, JIRA felt it had too much technical gatekeeping (e.g. jquery). Asana felt too focused on business use cases when I was using it (2021).
About the same as Asana. JIRA feels more advanced with all the confluences and other tools. It also has Epics, Stories, Tasks, and sub-tasks, that I thing ClickUp could benefit from introducing as well.
Already covered this, but ClickUp does the job for covering what we need internally for task management (better than Trello), team communication (better than Slack), and Zoom calls (no need to use a 3rd-party app for internal calls). There are other features too that integrate …
ClickUp stacks up against Trello, Monday.com and Notion is very first the Cost Saving. Instead of buying different licenses per application in ClickUp you will just buy 1 license that can do what the competitors can. For example, in Trello it's a Kanban view, but in ClickUp you …
We selected ClickUp because of the UI, pricing, and features. We compared ClickUp with Jira, but Jira is more towards Tech as compared to ClickUp. ClickUp has many features that suit our business requirements, and it is very easy to set up. ClickUp's guest user feature is very …
I haven't used Asana very much at all but I wasn't any more impressed with it than ClickUp. However, I wasn't in it long enough to customize it to my liking so that could have been why.
ClickUp is way more robust than its competitors. Smartsheet is more of a simple spreadsheet-like tool. Asana has nowhere near the customizability. And Trello is too simple. ClickUp is like a mashup of all the PMIS tools out there, combining all of their features into a …
ClickUp is the best tool to use for teams that are scaling up because it comes with a lot of tools that you can eliminate out of the box and their advanced features (so many options for views, templates, custom fields) are unlike any other tool that I have used before.
ClickUp had the best and easiest user segmentation. Asana is a bit heavy to navigate sometimes. I also prefer the ClickUp List Views over the Monday.com list views.
Hard to describe it, but the way it connects everything so much better, that they layout is significantly easier to use, and the capabilities are significantly higher. Cleaner and easier to use than SalesForce, both in capability and in the way the workspace UX is presented is …
Asana provides user friendly interface and suitable platform for software engineering teams. But Wrike stood out because it provides good balance of project planning, workflow automation and dashboard functionalities in a single place.
Wrike has a broader application than task management apps like Toggl or Todoist. I do use Toggl as a basic time tracking software, however Wrike covers more ground. It is robust and user-friendly, and much less expensive than MS Project.
We used RoboHead prior to Wrike for document control and project management. Wrike is by far more advanced and interactive. It gives us so many more opportunities for communication.
Wrike's UI, combined with its low-cost solutions, has been the standout factor compared to the other options sought. They have multiple license types suited to different usage, a standout compared to others that don't leave you stuck paying high license fees for licenses you …
I utilized basecamp at my last position and I just remember it was extremely limited in what you could do. If I remember correctly there was no workflow integration of the platform, it was essentially just an app that you could create folders in that housed all of the files. No …
Cost and functionality. We were able to gain consensus on Wrike across numerous stakeholders. It may not be the best at everything but it's capable at a wide range of things.
Wrike was more capable that ProWorkflow (at least when we compared them several years ago) and more team/smaller workflow real time oriented than MS Project - where Project is better for detailed PM work. ClickUp is far more flexible and better value for a similar price at the …
our past products have been so hard to customize, streamline, and make work for all types of roles in the company. i feel like wrike is a great fit for everyone to work together well.
Honestly for me, it depends what you’re utilizing these tools for. In my experience, some of the other project management tools I’ve used the past such as Jira are way too complex for the use case we run into with our business. I feel like the overall goal of Wrike is to …
I think Wrike is very similar to other project management platforms such as Monday, Asana and Teamwork that I have used before. As they all provide strong tools for task and project organization, one feature particularly liked by me in TW was its time-tracking functionality, …
Monday wasn't as customizable as Wrike. Basecamp is great for tracking simple tasks and communicating with outside agencies, but isn't complex enough to track projects. Smartsheet is basically a fancy spreadsheet.
We have been using Wrike for over seven years, so I don't recall the specific reason why we chose it over Asana. I recall that the functions were similar, but I think we found that Wrike offered flexibility and structure that we felt would function the best for our department.
Wrike is more robust and suited for enterprise teams. Learning curve is more difficult and involved. Other platforms you can learn in a day or two. Wrike takes a month or two to get the hang of
Monday is a easier for project management and task tracking. Where Wrike excels is with the ticketing system for our IT, legal, or other specific teams.
Small to mid size startups can get real benefits from clickup, where accountability & organization is getting started. Creating tickets for each client in the beginning would be overwhelming, but very necessary as scale is attained, and clickup is THE platform for this. Jira *A direct competitor) might feel overwhelming or legacy coded due to its target of MNC being their customers. A new age platform like clickup can be used. The breadth it serves from project tracking to time-wise reports & alerts are useful for startups like mine
I believe it's well suited if you have multiple jobs/projects that you need to keep organized. We work with multiple job types from print/creative to web, copy and digital ads so it helps us stay organized. I don't think it would be suitable for a company that doesn't have a lot of jobs to manage. We average over 1,200 requests a year.
Maps functionality is basic, would be great for it to help with routing logic and daily planning.
Keeping track of task default locations when working on the fly can sometimes be hard to keep track of, but that's mainly an issue with me letting my AI's via MCP boat the workspace structure.
Permissions can be confusing and buggy, so you need to monitor and plan them really intentionally; sometimes they'll get mixed up, and your permissions to add fields, delete/access items, etc. can get buggy.
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.
I wish that Wrike had more drag and drop functionality that would be connected to assignee and also I wish that the finish date of a task would update to the date where you checked completed. It does not do that. Also finishing a task doesn't move the start date of the next task it "protects your time in that way", but our management team wants us to quickly see what we have down the pipeline rather than having to scroll down the list of upcoming tasks.
In general, I think the usability is probably great. The reason I didn't give it as high of a score is because at the last 2 companies I worked at, they each used different software. So I was already used to those. Learning their UI isn't hard, but always a little annoying to learn something new.
It does take some time and work to really understand and use it properly, but I think the accessibility to help and documentation make that completely feasible. Once you know how to use it, I find it to be very user-friendly, and have very few complaints.
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.
Over two years of (almost) daily usage without outages. Don't remember any errors. I give it 9 only because some Wrike plugins (for online document edit) are based on NPAPI architecture. These types of plugins are being phased out in new browsers, and NPAPI plugins are disabled by default in recent versions of Chrome so you have to do some browser adjustments when you switch browsers or move to another computer.
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.
Wrike tasks loads fine, but I hate clicking files and wait for a bit of time since it is powerpoint or word, Wrike assumes I want to open those on Wrike. My suggestion is to link it to office 365 so we do not need Wrike based decoder for PPTX and DOCX
Support are genuinely helpful and really nice to deal with. I had a bug on my workspace that I’d been experiencing for a while. They looked into it for me and asked some questions. Once they found the issue and resolved it, they even filmed a video detailing how they’d fixed it. That level of support is fantastic.
Time and time again, Wrike has proved that they listen to their customers and put us first. From sales to support - they are quick to respond, encourcage community engagement and I never feel like i am callling a help center
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.
I love the Wrike training options. Wrike Discover has tons of courses, learning plans, certifications, etc. This is an area where Wrike definitely shines! I wish these resources were more in your face for new people, because it seems like a lot of coworkers didn't know all of this training was available to them.
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.
There are a lot of bells and whistles in Wrike, and not all of it is easy or intuitive to understand once it's plopped in your lap. It's easier when there are a few choice people who understand Wrike as a platform and articulate it in such a way where it makes it easy to pass it along to others in the group
More comprehensive, with greater customization options and integrations with other work applications such as Google Drive and Slack. Mais completo, com mais possibilidades de personalização e integrações com outros aplicativos de trabalho como Google Drive e Slack.
Wrike's UI, combined with its low-cost solutions, has been the standout factor compared to the other options sought. They have multiple license types suited to different usage, a standout compared to others that don't leave you stuck paying high license fees for licenses you won't use to that extent.
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.
I’d go with a 9/10. It scales really well across teams and use cases, especially once you set things up properly. The only reason it’s not a full 10 is that it can take some effort to structure everything cleanly at the start.
