Room For Improvement

ClickUp needs UI, mobile app, AI integration, bug tracking, and documentation improvements to enhance user experience and customization.
OpenText needs improved reporting, user interface, resource management, integration, and security, alongside better mobile, database, and automation features.
One area that requires improvement would be the integration with existing systems, such as legacy systems and other project management software.

Setup Cost

ClickUp offers affordable, flexible pricing with competitive enterprise rates and free guest access, appealing to cost-conscious users.

It is not overly expensive and provides a fair value for the features offered.

Valuable Features

ClickUp streamlines team collaboration with a user-friendly interface, advanced task management, scheduling tools, and AI-enhanced automation features.
OpenText PPM offers a user-friendly interface with real-time data, integration flexibility, and tools for efficient project and financial management.
ClickUp improves my team's collaboration process, as it allows inviting everyone without requiring a corporate email address, and external contractors can also see the project, which is a very important feature I prefer over other products.
Solution Architect And Senior Consultant at Keysight Technologies
The audit trail feature has helped me and my team because whenever there is a task followed up, or if it is not done, or if it is changed, we can always go back and see why it was done and when it was done, so it helps keep accountability as well.
Compliance manager at Collective legal
The workflow is amazing and highly effective in streamlining processes.

Featured Reviews

Sunny Nair - PeerSpot reviewer
Solution Architect And Senior Consultant at Keysight Technologies
Has improved project tracking accuracy and simplified team collaboration through flexible task workflows
On a scale of 1-10, I rate ClickUp a 10 out of 10. The best advantage with ClickUp is that it's easy to use, without much of a learning curve, and it's easy to understand the UI and interface, which makes it easier to consume the product compared to others in the market. I use the time tracking feature in ClickUp. The time tracking feature helps manage my deadlines effectively, and it is much more detailed compared to any other product available. One of the primary things I really appreciate about ClickUp is the summary of the project; once the project ends, I can export the summary into a PDF, so I don't have to write the document manually. Regarding analytic reports provided by ClickUp, it provides specific metrics, and while I need more time to understand how efficiently it manages the metrics, it can cater to both basic and advanced tasks. I have not seen any disadvantages or areas for improvement with ClickUp, and the updates they bring in are quite fast and efficient, so I'm quite satisfied with the product currently. I have not encountered any particular challenges or complexities. I cannot think of any features they could add in the future. They have AI integration available with their product line today, which is not offered by other products, and while Microsoft Project Manager's AI integration is complex, ClickUp already has all the components in place. I only work with Einstein Analytics, which we use as an internal tool.

The most valuable feature of OpenText Project and Portfolio Management is its workflow. The workflow is amazing and highly effective in streamlining processes. Additionally, it is used to ensure that activities are completed properly, as part of the typical project and portfolio management. It meets my needs as a good project and portfolio management tool.
