We already pay for Nuclino and use it as a knowledge management and team collaboration tool. It's a great tool for employees to find information about the company internally; however, it’s not equipped to handle projects, tasks, and requests like ClickUp. This is crucial to …
I have used ClickUp and I have extensively used Trello in the past and I'll always choose ClickUp over Trello as it offers so many more features. The UI is very intuitive. I remember using Trello for the first time and it looked good but a little complex whereas ClickUp has a …
It's simplified literally everything in my life across all domains. There really isn't any situation I've ever found where I haven't suggested someone to start using ClickUp instead of their current workflows, whether that's basic iPhone apps they're using, or expensive tools they are already paying for. The only scenarios where it hasn't made sense to do it is for people running businesses that rely on integrated platforms for all business management; not that it's not a good fit, but things like integrated billing and map routers or invoice generators embedded in an existing software sometimes lock it out. But for everything else, be it work, school, sports, daily life, I probably pull 1-2 people over to ClickUp every week!
For game design - Perfect for personal notes, recipes, snippets - Perfect for storing some organized data (for example, links to resources) - Perfect for a content playground powered by AI - Very good for diagrams - Very good. Don't know any bad examples. Tool really great. Rich functionality. Especially love different views (table, graph).
Customization is huge for us! We do not have the aspects of standard project management, so having the ability to customize basically everything in ClickUp is amazing.
An outstanding free version of the software! We are a small nonprofit organization that cannot afford the robust levels of other software, so having access to SO MUCH for free is incredible.
The layout and organization of tasks, Spaces, folders, etc. is perfect. I love how I can see which task all of my subtasks belong to on my dashboard. And the option to change colors and icons for everything also really appeals to my obsessive brain.
The system is extremely fast. The application loads and displays data in milliseconds. This makes the system easy to work with.
It's also easy to edit documentation and information, as information can be editing directly without the use of an "edit" button.
Pricing: Loading speed, ease of use and quick editing are its main advantage that makes it stand out from competitors. Having said that, the pricing is very good as well.
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.
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 has a very clean UI for me, the multiple views are so so useful, we can collaborate freely, and fast. This app helped us to grow because now we are giving our time more on generating ideas and of course getting more projects and clients giving real ROI instead of focusing on organizing files. But just like all apps out there, it has some room for improvement
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.
My team has an individual dedicated to content management and Nuclino is one of her job descriptions. It's nice knowing she is able to handle any issues that arise before we even realize they exist. We haven't had any technical issues since implementation so that's been a very pleasant experience.
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.
For me the customizability of ClickUp was unmatched. It really felt like there was no limit on what I could use it for and how I could organize things. For specific features, their Docs are really my favorite part. The customizability and ability to directly link to related tasks/docs/etc. is incredible. The closest I've found to it is Notion, but Notion is not as user friendly and doesn't offer all of the other capabilities that ClickUp does. When I first started using ClickUp, their pricing played a huge factor too. I thought their pricing was the most reasonable given the number of capabilities it came with. However, that's definitely changed over the years. They have a bad habit of moving certain functionalities from one tier up to a higher one. Or they put a one-time usage limit on a certain feature and once it runs out, you're forced to upgrade. Their pricing has become less competitive because of it
Nuclino is the clear winner when it comes to ease of use for both the administrator and user. Less setup time and less "training" time. The streamlined interface is quick and intuitive to learn and is not cluttered as compared to Confluence. Every tool you need to use to create a page or administer the workspace is available immediately on screen or by right-clicking. In contrast, Confluence buries many tools in administrative interfaces and only allows use of some features once you make several clicks to include a "macro" or "plug-in". We use both tools and I get complaints constantly from my team about how complicated Confluence can get just to author a quick page.
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.
Allow us to provide reports and updates via computer to leadership.
Leadership in our organization have praised IT for the use of ClickUp because the tool is exactly what was needed. Before, we were depending on spreadsheets to keep track of work.
ClickUp brings organizatins together in ways that other software has not. It provides everything we lacked and needed to get out organization up to the standard as other large universities.
