We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.

Pros
"The most interesting feature is the ability to share what you are working on with an external entity. The customer has direct visibility on what is being done on a particular project and this provides a lot of transparency.""ClickUp offers a relatively user-friendly experience, especially when it comes to its fundamental features.""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.""Everything in one place is the biggest benefit. I also like the diagramming tools, where you can create DFDs, structure charts, and more. That makes things easier.""I am currently exploring ClickUp AI, which I think is very good.""The simplicity of the tool is valuable because it has categories and subcategories.""The product has an efficient design.""Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

It is very advanced and once you understand and learn how to use it, it can be quite powerful. The whole package can be quite powerful.""The stability of the 2019 version is quite good.""Microsoft Project Server is easy to use compared to other similar solutions, such as Primavera. It functions similar to Excel or others Microsoft solutions which makes it simple for most people to be able to use right away.""This is a scalable solution. It is easy to set up and to add clusters to your environment.""The ability to track a project's progress using Microsoft Project Server is the most valuable aspect. It depends, especially when managing multiple projects."

Cons
"ClickUp's user interface could be made more user-friendly.""Introducing automation and AI would greatly benefit ClickUp by reducing manual work.""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.""ClickUp could improve by streamlining its functions and organizing them better for easier access.""It can be improved by making it more user-friendly.""I would love to see ClickUp integrated with more tools, possibly like Microsoft Loop.""The email portion, specifically the email automation, where you can add attachments, has room for improvement."

More ClickUp Cons →

"The product is difficult to use for complex projects.""The solution's desktop version is not compatible with the MacBook.""It has to be more user-friendly. For instance, there should be some assistance, like when you go to certain sites, people pop up and say, "Can we help you? What are you looking for?" It's not interactive enough.""It appears that Microsoft's primary goal is to migrate as much functionality as possible from the legacy on-premises Microsoft Project Server to the new cloud-based Power Apps solution.""There need to be more tutorials available to users.""Improvements are needed in the technical support process, aiming for a better user experience.""We need to be able to compare milestones, calls, and other variables regarding the projects we are working on. I have to contract developers to make reports, which is where things get complicated. They need to develop personal and custom fields for us.""We are on the on-prem version. The cloud, however, gives more regular updates that we can take advantage of."

  • "I think they need more flexibility with licensing, because there are preconceived ideas that don't allow as much flexibility with the various licenses."
  • "The licensing was procured before my involvement."
  • "It has features that cannot be bought by other rivals, so cost does not matter."
  • "It is on the expensive side."
  • "There is a licensing cost."
  • "There is an annual license required for this solution."
  • "I cannot comment on the price as I was not responsible for purchasing the solution."
  • "I'm not quite sure about the licensing costs. We're probably paying somewhere in the neighborhood of about 80,000 to 90,000 a year for our current on-prem because we handle our own licensing. As far as Project Online is concerned, we're still trying to get a good handle on that. It looks like it is going to be in a neighborhood of about 120,000 to 150,000 a year, but we're getting a lot more capability out of it."
