Overall Satisfaction with ClickUp
We use ClickUp mainly to track the capacity of our resources (employees). We want to make sure that no one is over-worked at any given time, while also making sure we are utilizing all resources as much as we can. By creating a structure of Spaces, Regions, Projects, and Tasks we can keep everything sorted. We assign a % Allocation value to each task (like this task will take Jeremy 50% of his time for 2 weeks) and use that to make sure we are using resources effectively and efficiently. Using the Gantt and Calendar views also helps us to ensure we are prepared for what's coming in the future.
- Speed
- Ease of Use
- Clean Design
- The workload view is not very customizable, for example you cannot collapse the allocation bars to a more condensed view
- You cannot create placeholder assignees, like if I wanted to assign a task to a "TBD - Designer" if I did not have a specific individual in mind.
- Guests cannot even view the workload view
- It has greatly helped us to make sure all resources are at or below 100% utilization as an important business goal for us is employee well-being.
ClickUp has greatly helped us to improve communicating between different teams. We have multiple regions that use ClickUp, and they all live under the same Space. This allows the hand to see what the foot is doing, and so on, which has been very helpful. We can also use the multiple-region functionality to see if resources in one region are being under utilized, and use that to help a region that may be overworked.
We used to use Excel to track projects and resource capacity, but luckily with ClickUp we have been able to eliminate that all together. In my experience with Excel, it did not have nearly any of the features ClickUp has, and it was very difficult to have multiple collaborators work on it simultaneously.
We selected ClickUp firstly for the ease of use of the platform. It was very simple and easy to understand. We also liked how ClickUp offered "Guest" seats for free so we could allow many employees to only view information in ClickUp without having to pay for a full license. This was a large advantage ClickUp had over the other platforms we evaluated.
