Review summaries and opinions

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

ROI

Sentiment score
6.2
ClickUp improves efficiency and productivity, offering time savings without a team, though its value varies by company needs.
Sentiment score
1.0
Planisware is highly valued in pharma for project management, though opinions differ on its financial benefits and effectiveness.
A primary advantage is that I can have individual projects without a team, and I can also manage team-based projects without being a project manager.
Solution Architect And Senior Consultant at Keysight Technologies
It is primarily used for the pharma vertical and related fields, and since we were running a full ERP digital transformation project in the life sciences domain, it suited that requirement very well.
Solution Architect at Think People
Sometimes I feel that the ROI is not optimal because we are totally dependent on Planisware's system stability.

Customer Service

Sentiment score
4.4
ClickUp's efficient customer service, knowledge base, and quick issue resolution contribute to high user satisfaction and reliability.
Sentiment score
2.8
Planisware's customer service is enthusiastic yet dependent on costly advanced support, with some feedback noting varied response accuracy.
The support was good, but there's more space for collaboration that we can do internally through Planisware, which was not the case.
Principal, Technical Project Management at Teletech Holdings
We experienced a couple of issues, and they responded and resolved the issues and bugs promptly.

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.1
ClickUp scales well for teams of all sizes, though some features and the free version have limitations.
Sentiment score
4.9
Planisware offers stable scalability on resourceful servers, with customization on-premises and strategic modifications for extensive user environments.
I believe ClickUp's scalability can handle more users or larger workloads if our company grows, as long as the people who set these things up know what they are doing and use the features properly.
Compliance manager at Collective legal
We experienced crashes in the upcoming year, but these mostly occurred on weekends, which minimized the impact on our users.

The scalability of Planisware is good, as when you want to implement changes, you need to manage the process with your collaborators.

ClickUp is highly rated for stability, praised for reliable performance without glitches or downtime, often scoring nine or ten.
Sentiment score

ClickUp is quite stable, and I don't see glitches or latency issues.
Solution Architect And Senior Consultant at Keysight Technologies
They have made significant improvements, but still, there is a long way to go in terms of their flexibility, adaptability, and usability.

Room For Improvement

ClickUp needs UI, mobile app, AI integration, bug tracking, and documentation improvements to enhance user experience and customization.
Planisware needs enhancements in integration, UI/UX, reporting, accessibility, stability, collaboration, flexibility, and third-party system integration.
One area that requires improvement would be the integration with existing systems, such as legacy systems and other project management software.
Solution Architect And Senior Consultant at Keysight Technologies
Better integrations to JIRAs and perhaps open APIs for task management would be super beneficial.
Solution Architect at Think People
The reports should be improved because all companies now need reporting, and with tools such as Grafana or Tableau, Planisware needs to add interfaces for data lakes since all companies require this.
Responsible for the Project Infrastructure at Comutitres
We have experienced crashes in Planisware and system slowdowns.

Setup Cost

ClickUp offers affordable, flexible pricing with competitive enterprise rates and free guest access, appealing to cost-conscious users.
Planisware is a costly tool with licensing, setup, support, and training expenses, requiring strategic management commitment.
 

Valuable Features

ClickUp streamlines team collaboration with a user-friendly interface, advanced task management, scheduling tools, and AI-enhanced automation features.
Planisware provides robust project management with resource planning, data integration, Agile support, and built-in BI tools for enhanced decision-making.
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 tools communicate with other tools, making it effective, and when we have a new resource, we can add it and send it to the resource management team, who can view it in Planisware.

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.

Highly robust tool enhances project management for large-scale programs
The tool can be improved with integrations to Agile tools. We used Azure DevOps, which I dislike. Better integrations to JIRAs and perhaps open APIs for task management would be super beneficial. As a project management tool, it is perfect, but the ability to be agile with task management could improve it. There is always an opportunity for more flexibility regarding integrated reporting. The project dashboard feature worked perfectly for small to small-medium projects, but on a large scale, it was not flexible enough to handle a program-level dashboard. However, that is probably a nice-to-have rather than a need-to-have. The integrations to Agile are essential; we had to do a full build to accomplish that.
