We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.

Pros
"The product has an efficient design.""Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""The most valuable feature of ClickUp is the UI scheduling tool. It is the best and most convenient and attractive.""So when I take a note, I have the ability to highlight text and have it transform into a specific part of the note as a task.""It is a scalable solution. I would rate it a ten out of ten.""ClickUp has helped me to increase my productivity and to better manage my time.""We can update tasks and track projects.""The simplicity of the tool is valuable because it has categories and subcategories."

"The product's initial setup phase is easy.""It's an easy solution to set up.""The most valuable features of Microsoft Project are the availability of being online and within Teams. My entire team can use it and see it, versus the full Microsoft Projects, such as Project Professional, you need to have a license.""Microsoft offers good support.""Dependencies (not typically effectively used in "Agile" techniques) allow understanding of actual project status and challenges.""The most valuable feature of this solution is time management.""Microsoft Project integrates well with the Microsoft Office family of applications. It has plugins that interact with it and you can use it with Microsoft Teams. We can use plugins to communicate with JIRA, Projectplace, and Planview. It's not widely used in the company, of course, but it's something that can interact with the official tools that we have.""In my experience, this solution is one of the best for the waterfall management model."

Cons
"It would be good if the solution facilitated voice calls or an option to chat directly with a person on ClickUp.""ClickUp's user interface could be made more user-friendly.""I would love to see ClickUp integrated with more tools, possibly like Microsoft Loop.""ClickUp could improve by being customised to the development industry. We would like to have bug trackers and an agile approach built into the solution.""The email portion, specifically the email automation, where you can add attachments, has room for improvement.""ClickUp doesn't have a roadmap vision and a proper way of planning.""The tool is not user-friendly.""There is a need for significant improvement in the user interface to make it more intuitive and less time-consuming to become familiar with."

More ClickUp Cons →

"We'd like the solution to have better integration with other third-party and open-source solutions.""We'd like to be able to see different timelines as a part of one task.""I would like to see more integrations with another software tool.""This solution needs more templates focused on types of projects to ease setup.""The scalability is co-dependent on the stability of the product. We have 4000 users, and at times the product is slow.""The packaging of Microsoft Project Professional is pretty simple as a product. But, the end-to-end enterprise is complex.""The solution could be more flexible when it comes to integration.""Microsoft Project should provide better documentation regarding the usage of the solution."
