ClickUp Reviews

Attachments: I wish there was a simple way to move an attachment from one task to another. I have to do that a lot, and as it stands today, I have to download the attachment and then re-upload it to the new task.

Ordering of projects: When you add a new project, it always appears at the bottom of the list of projects. I wish there was a simple way to sort your projects by certain criteria (alphabetically, etc.).

Bugs: There's no function for adding bugs to a specific task. Our team utilizes the subtasks when we are going through QA, but it's not ideal.

It's slightly complicated; you could provide tutorials.

Makes it hard for clients to use it who are unaware of it

Really hard to say. Our team made a few feature requests and all of them are live now.

It maybe could be more simple. Creating a task has so many features you can include that it sometimes may be tough.

In emails, you are able to attach tasks, but it puts it in an extremely weird format and it is tough to read. I wish there was a way to only put the important information instead of having to put the entire thread in the task.

Creating new projects can be a little confusing at first.

Sometimes you can get confused with the different layouts you choose and whether you want to view just your tasks or your entire team's tasks.

The Email attachment feature needs to be tweaked in just attaching the most recent message and not the entire email chain history.

The dependencies between tasks is difficult to see/use.

Inputting start/finish dates is tricky.

With the frequent new features it can be hard to keep up on what to implement and where to navigate to it.

When looking at the full homepage of all projects, you have to set one view instead of certain views for certain projects or folders.

The browser-based version is often slow and/or unresponsive; I need to refresh a lot.

I wish there were better high-level visuals; Gantt charts etc aren't quite there yet. The portfolio feature is clunky.

Their Documents (Pages) functionality is pretty basic and simple things like spell check could make it into a powerhouse.

Their mobile app is very slow and can be slow on syncing data as well.

The notification emails are a little much, I believe they can be personalized but it can still overload your email if not set properly.

Small detail, but when you're using the Harvest integration, and have multiple projects/clients, when you go to track time for a task, it does not always relate to that particular client. Annoying and every other tool does this correctly.

Little bit of a learning curve getting the initial projects/tasks created but not much different than comparable platforms.

It can be overwhelming to use at first as there are so many features.

All other issues I have had with ClickUp in the past have been fixed in updates.

I have no complaints about ClickUp

Sometimes over-complicated organization

Functions could be simplified

Pop-up windows - It would be nice to see subtasks, etc. without having to have the entire window pop up. Being able to glance at it quickly by hovering your mouse over it would increase efficiency.

Differentiating the typography of headings, tasks, etc. The layout all looks quite similar and distinguishing between it visually would be great.

Initially, I was quite overwhelmed by ClickUp. There were almost too many features.

The UI needs some improvement.

There is this limitation that for every Task, there can be only 1 level of SubTask, which can be quite limiting when you want to sub-categorize your tasks. On the other hand, it keeps the task organization to be not as complex, so maybe that is the reason for the limitation.

The time management is not so good, which I would not blame ClickUp for this, because it is not the app is specializing in, on the other hand, they provide great immersive integration with other popular apps in the market, and whatever you find not as good, you can easily integrate an app that has a better feature seamlessly.

Time tracking isn't the greatest. It works, but definitely needs improvement.

There's currently no option to add a subtask to a subtask, which we often need.

The interface takes a little getting used to.

Needs more contrast to have cards stand out more.

Takes a little work to optimize it for different processes (like scrum) but the templates and documentation are a big help.

Difficult to learn how to use at first.

Can be difficult to use at first.

Learning curve

Although the color-coding feature is very useful, those colors are extremely light which makes it hard to notice them. More color coding options would make it better.

There is a filter and a search bar labeled "filter" that's confusing. I would assume it would just be "search."

The filter also states that you can list sub-tasks however it only displays one sub-task when this particular card has 4. The one it displays is also third on the list, strange functionality.

If filtered by sub-tasks when you click on the card, it only goes to the sub-task not the project as a whole.

The amount of notifications is super intense. I turned them off because I was getting a notification for the creation of a card, any changes made to the card, upcoming due date, past due date, comments made, etc. There are notifications that need to be set for Comments, Tasks, Dates, Apps, and Integrations for Email, Mobile, Web (in-app) and Browser. It took quite some time setting this up.

Cannot track on a project level. Clickup is very task oriented

Sometimes difficult to find things.

Needs more flexible reporting. Customized reports would be great

Better resource management
