How ClickUp Differs From Its Competitors

Collaboration

The best bit is a clear SSOT about who is responsible for what. The business is still in a very early stage of fully utilising the collaborative features within ClickUp, but know clearly who is doing what is a massive first step for us, where the previous scenario had people across the business …

All-in-One Productivity Platform

We have reduced the number of Excel workbooks in the business significantly and can see a use can for CU for many many more! With more and more Gen Z employees, having software that feels 'natural' to them, rather than learning the complexity of Excel has made life so new starters much easier!

Collaboration

Before, we had a lot of communication and execution issues between planning a strategy for a client and actually putting it into practice with the operational team. With ClickUp, everything is recorded in the tasks and the history is never lost, even when passing the task to different team …

All-in-One Productivity Platform

Previously, what were extremely operational and repetitive tasks are now done automatically thanks to ClickUp's integrations and automations. Each handover within our internal process caused wear and tear and confusion for our team. The process was designed, but we had no tools to manage and …

Collaboration

Team meetings are not more collaborative, as I've noticed that people are adding in their feedback or agenda items in advance before meetings, so knowing what to expect in meetings makes meeting time spent more efficiently. I love that people are more comfortable sharing their thoughts in …

All-in-One Productivity Platform

We used to have a lot more apps before ClickUp (Jira, Karbon, Notion, etc.), so having the automated work and checklists, as well as templated emails or workflows life in one place make it easier to track and even search as a team. I'm so impressed by how much ClickUp can house in the app in terms …

Collaboration

ClickUp has greatly improved my company's ability to effectively manage projects and communicate changes to our team. With Gantt Charting features, custom fields in tickets, and multiple assignees, ClickUp has allowed us to create a single space where all of our company's clients and their …

All-in-One Productivity Platform

ClickUp has done a great job providing a single app that does the work of many. Instead of having all our tickets in multiple sites, project trackers in another, client-related documents somewhere else, chats and meeting notes else where and budget tracking in a different place, ClickUp has …

Collaboration

Managing tasks has been the key improvement. It's not just in checking off to-do's, but in keeping focused discussions within individual tasks and on the larger project.

All-in-One Productivity Platform

ClickUp, WhatsApp, and Google Docs is all we use now. There is no need for additional tools beyond these three, which keeps our overall expense low and software switching delays lower as well. That helps with general adoption of the tools we do use higher as well.

Collaboration

We come from Monday.com, so the adoption has been somewhat quick, although it has required many hours of training on my part for the entire team.

All-in-One Productivity Platform

Keeping the projects, their tasks, and the assignment of responsibilities in an organized manner has allowed us to review all our management in an approximately one-hour weekly meeting, making improvements in each project we are handling.

Collaboration

The best case of application thus far has been setting up a space for every region where the company has operations at and every space flows up to a global space where the executives are able to see resource allocation and status of the company initiatives. Furthermore, the collaboration over the …

All-in-One Productivity Platform

The automations have allowed to our Program and Project Management team to set up standards in how to do a project, which assures the success of the projects.

Collaboration

ClickUp was able to keep our sanity in our production area, where we have 300 deliverables every month. Each deliverable is complex and needs a design and documentation. It gets passed from around from the design team, writers, to QA. We keep track of all feedback and revision notes in the …

All-in-One Productivity Platform

For instance, the email automations for our CRM and applicants tracker is a time saver. It also eliminates a lot of errors. With other complex processes, we use subtask automations, our team does not to remember a thing, they will get notified in time when it is their turn in the process. Whenever …

Collaboration

- It helps us in task management
- It helps us in allocate resources and manage team workload
- It helps us in time tracking and time management when doing tasks
- It helps us in sharing knowledge between team members
- It helps us in follow the deadlines of the client

All-in-One Productivity Platform

We leave Time Doctor time tracking tool after using ClickUp. We also remove Confluence (wiki) because we have ClickUp documentation management as well. We don't need Jira at all as we have List View, Kanban view. We don't need to pay for GanttPro any more because ClickUp have built-in Gantt chart …

Collaboration

Brainstorming between the team has improved now we use ClickUp for collaborative docs, lists, etc. Task tracking is significantly easier when we can see everyone's workload and it's enabled team members to collaborate on the same task, sharing their work back and forth between subtasks or the …

Incentivized

Collaboration

All teams and areas have improved significantly as we have more control over what is happening and needs to be done, so this has had a positive impact on our projects.

todas as equipes e áreas melhoraram significamente pois conseguimos ter mais controle do que está acontecendo e precisa ser feito, …

All-in-One Productivity Platform

Today, some tasks are automatically opened. For example, when a new lead arrives on our website, it goes to a database and from there, a card is automatically opened for the sales team to work on. Before, the person had to open it manually and spend a lot of time on this. In addition, we added …

Collaboration

Definitly great. Not using it for brainstorming as much, but with the teams working from home the chat, comments etc works great to allign team members.

I also love the fact that I can set up a task, make the due date recurring, add a good description or Clip/Loom and then forget about that and …

Incentivized

All-in-One Productivity Platform

ClickUp definitely helped us cut the clutter. Before, we were jumping between WhatsApp, Google Sheets, Docs, email, and random sticky notes. Now, most of that lives inside ClickUp. We’ve built out templates for recurring work, set up automations to handle reminders and status updates, and linked …

Incentivized

Collaboration

Its perfect for setting up big projects with many tasks shared over the whole team. Dependencies and timelines are always clear. Everyone can work focused. With ClickUp Chat the communication got even better

Incentivized

All-in-One Productivity Platform

There are not much apps we dont need anymore after we use ClickUp - but ClickUp Chat has made the use of Slack more and more less

Incentivized

Collaboration

It's improved a ton by allowing us to collaborate inside of one tool instead of like 50 different ones, and also for managing projects with dependencies. It also increases coordination between the creative department and ad channel departments through forms that then auto-send to Slack and are …

Incentivized

All-in-One Productivity Platform

It makes it to where we don't need to use multiple project management tools since ClickUp can do all of it in their platform, and then using task and list templates has helped speed up and automate client onboarding and recurring tasks and projects. It also reduces Slack DMs by being able to just …

Incentivized

Collaboration

yes - it has really broken down the barriers between the various silos of the business

All-in-One Productivity Platform

we were able to move all our project based chats onboard to the platform, reducing time spent in Teams and outlook and keeping the discussion within the platform for all to see

Collaboration

Better KPI tracking, task management and communication within and without my team. We have a bespoke process for each department in the business, all areas use the program but need different things from it, ClickUp supports this and helps better performance and efficiency overall. Notifications, …

Incentivized

All-in-One Productivity Platform

We have built our process around ClickUp, I have set up a process specifically to make use of the structure of the app. We never had anything else in place previously, so it has added a huge amount of value to our team. We always refer to ClickUp as our 'holy grail' of the project and ensure all …

Incentivized

Collaboration

We run 30 projects with a team of 15 people. The cohesion between teams and resource utilization must be very good. ClickUp provides this for us. Only as a manager, I need summary reports from a higher level and I don't see this yet.

Incentivized

All-in-One Productivity Platform

Notification when time track is forgotten, automatic assignment when status changes. In this way, we minimize the human error factor.

Incentivized

Collaboration

We are using ClickUp to track our overarching company goals, and link the tasks associated with those Goals together. This gives us a bird's eye view of our goals, the strategy behind them, and what is needed to achieve those goals.
It also reduced spread out communications - instead of using Teams …

All-in-One Productivity Platform

We use Make.com to integrate ClickUp with our ERP system and our Shopify store. This allows us to manage all outbound orders from one central portal. It also allows us to track incoming purchases of raw materials and automate the printing of identification labels, waybills, pick lists, invoices, …

Collaboration

Transparency of work has been taken to the next level. The ease of taking over from someone or helping out have increased significantly. Making process visible and compliance to process as clear as day, made a huge difference on the accuracy of work and the record keeping of past transactions. …

All-in-One Productivity Platform

We moved away from the miriad of MS tools and were able to consolidate our internal world to a single place. We log into CU first now, and often only look at Outlook much later in the day. If its important, it will be in CU. The ability to work with data in different views on the same platform is …

Collaboration

My employees use the tool to track their progress on tasks and they mark the tasks with the appropriate statuses. I also really appreciate the tool to mark up PDFs and make assignable comments. That's quite the hidden gem! I also use this tool personally and it's been really helpful to have a log …

All-in-One Productivity Platform

I used to need to use Trello and Slack and various sites for uploading and sharing documents, but I've been able to reduce my tech stack significantly. I still would like to be able to integrate better with Google Calendar, Zoom, and email better, but this certainly takes the edge off!

Collaboration

yes, collaboration has improved a lot specially with views setup based on each user role. Project planning, client onboarding, tracking with time estimates as well as hours logged has all become easier. The documents linked to the tasks provide better productivity and so do the whiteboards. …

All-in-One Productivity Platform

Yes, we were using Clockify first for time tracking and reporting. Slack was used for internal team communication. Now we do not use either of them as ClickUp's native time tracking and Chat provides those features.
The Whiteboards are good to for simple workflows but for complex ones, we are …

Collaboration

Everybody is on the same page as project documentation is bundled per project with backlogs and sprints. Whiteboading is not yet used often as we need to migratie from Miro to ClickUp. The Wiki helps onboarding new employees and functions as a reference for non-frequent processes for the whole team.

All-in-One Productivity Platform

We're gradually moving away from other tools when they are available in ClickUp. Pipedrive is automated in such a way that once a deal is won, a project is created, a template with administrative actions is triggered and our operational list of projects is also updated. This saves us much time.

Collaboration

I am the only staff member at my organization that uses ClickUp. However it has greatly improved my ability to communicate and run effective meetings because all of the information that I need about a task or project is readily accessible in ClickUp.

Collaboration

Our collaboration has greatly improved as we are able to get quick answers to the things that we need. It also allows us to gather feedback on our continuous improvement ideas and be able to quickly act on these ideas.

Collaboration

I'm a solo-preneur. I don't use ClickUp for a team, just to keep myself organized.

All-in-One Productivity Platform

I use both ClickUp and Dubsado on a daily basis. While ClickUp keeps me organized, Dubsado is my tool for sending design proofs and contracts to clients, and for invoicing.

Customization of fields in Tickets

Combining many apps into one- Ticketing, sprint tracking, form submissions, documentation, file management, and chats
Continual improvements. The ClickUp team is always making amazing strides to update the site and make it that much better for its users

Cons

I'd love to see the Custom Fields be set up to be specific for Task Types. Which I think is a feature ClickUp is currently working on
Searching can be a bit slow
Slack integrations, I'd love to have the ability to send customized Slack messages when very specific things happen in ClickUp
