Overall Satisfaction with ClickUp

We use ClickUp to solve our main problem, which was the need to enhance communication and collaboration across teams, many of which have remote workers on them. We've set up individual Spaces for each team that contain folders, lists, and different views to house all of the team's tasks and docs in one place. Within those, each team uses its own process to manage the workflow; whether that's as a sprint, using the Workload view for resource management, or Gantts or timelines to track deadlines. Every piece of work that each team member needs to complete results in a task or subtask being created with assignees and start/end dates added along with Space-specific custom fields like its priority level, supporting team members who will assist, how many times something's been reviewed, and what filetype the final product needs to be delivered in.
  • Allows you to create dashboards to track your team and company's progress towards its goals.
  • Integrates docs and forms so we don't need to switch apps
  • Notifications about every update, so you never really need to go asking around for one.
  • Allows you to visualize deadlines, how each piece of work fits into the bigger picture, and see in real-time what's holding your team up
  • Time tracking; although useful, it glitches a lot and doesn't allow you to automatically set something to be billable or non-billable time
  • Tracking down where a view setting is causing issues in another list, folder, or space
  • Permissions and sharing; it should be an easy one-time thing, as opposed to glitching and reverting back to the original setting
  • Provide clients with itemized monthly invoices based on time tracking and tasks worked on in ClickUp, which makes us look more transparent and trustworthy
  • Faster internal reviews on items since reviewers get notifications and tasks as a result
  • Full transparency into where our team members are spending their time
We've been able to use the docs feature for all of our meeting agendas and minutes - since they're all in one place, it saves us the time of having to go and track them down. We can also all create our own action/takeaway items immediately into tasks so that we can get to work right away. This means we no longer run into the problem of forgetting what we were supposed to do in between meetings.

The docs feature is also great for our content creation and for documenting processes, which has saved us a lot of time since notifications from those docs go directly to our ClickUp inboxes too.

The comment feature is handy for reviewing items and the centralized notification system helps us stay on top of things and not lose anything in the shuffle.
We've been able to phase out using email communication with our internal teams since everything is centralized with ClickUp and its Slack integration. This results in less app switching for us and less time spent tracking down something that somebody said regarding a project. Its HubSpot integration has been great for our sales and service teams, too.
Monday and Notion look great, but ClickUp's integrations and artificial intelligence (AI) features are way more powerful in comparison. ClickUp is also better suited for larger teams that have more moving parts, so if that sounds like your business, ClickUp will likely prove to be a more effective solution than one of the competing tools on the market.

Do you think ClickUp delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with ClickUp's feature set?

Yes

Did ClickUp live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of ClickUp go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy ClickUp again?

Yes

ClickUp is great for companies that have a lot of different departments or business units as it allows everyone to have a place for their work and keep parts of it private from other teams, but also allows you to collaborate on shared projects easily and effectively.

ClickUp is a bit less effective for things like responding to customer inquires or complaints. An organization that does a lot of that would be better suited to finding a CRM where they can manage all their inboxes and corresponding tasks in one place.
