Overall Satisfaction with ClickUp

In our organization we use ClickUp to manage both, individual tasks and projects. We use it to track progress, assign tasks and manage timelines across different teams in the organization. It becomes easier to stay organized and ensure timely project deliveries with its features like customizable views, task dependencies, time tracking and so on. It helps us solve the problem of prioritizing the tasks and manage workload across the organization as it gives us a clear overview of all the ongoing tasks.

Pros

  • Customizable views - Some of our teams like using Kanban boards to keep track of their tasks while others Gantt charts for timeline views which helps everyone gets the best view for tracking thier tasks.
  • Task dependencies - If a design needs content then until the content has been marked as completed ClickUp won't let the designer start.
  • Time tracking and efficiency - If a particular task is taking longer then expected then we can plan on in to adjust a resource or the sprint to manage the workload.

Cons

  • Complex for new users - For a new user setting up the workspace can be complicated as there are many features to understand.
  • Performance Issues - While working with complex workflows, switching between views or loading timelines takes quite a time.
  • Overloaded notifications - ClickUp notifies about every minor update and when working with a large team it can be a little distracting, which I feel should be made customizable for the users.
  • Increased productivity and time savings - we have seen a 20% reduction in project management time as we automated the repeated tasks
  • Improved collaboration between teams
  • Better resource management
After starting using ClickUp, the collaboration between teams increased as they now can brainstorm, assign tasks, and also manage projects all in one platform, and not needing to have meetings or constant emails. The organization wide tracking has also been better as it allows everyone to have visibility of the progress of each team.
ClickUp has helped us with our productivity processes as it has a combination of multiple tools in one platform whereas we had to use multiple apps for project management. We also have automated repetitive tasks which has helped provide a clear task visibility allowing the team to focus on their core work.

Do you think ClickUp delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with ClickUp's feature set?

Yes

Did ClickUp live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of ClickUp go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy ClickUp again?

Yes

ClickUp is a great platform for larger projects where we have to manage and keep track of multiple teams with task dependencies. Taking an example of a particular module launch we can easily follow the progress on the design, development and testing in one place but the same with smaller modules or simpler tasks may feel complex and time consuming.
