AhmadTalha - PeerSpot reviewer
User-friendly, offers a wide range of functions, and enhances collaboration within teams
We use ClickUp's pro solution for team project management. We divide our projects into multiple sprints and organize tasks accordingly. I have created a personal space within ClickUp where I oversee the development and design teams, each with its sections for tasks and stages of progress. This setup helps keep everything organized and ensures smooth collaboration across departments. ClickUp can optimize workflow by integrating with developer tools like Git, allowing seamless access to modules and enhancing collaboration. While I primarily use it for tracking team progress and roadmaps, integration with Git would greatly benefit developers who spend more time within ClickUp. Overall, I would rate ClickUp as a nine out of ten. I would recommend it to others.

It allows you to include empty document forms, which must be completed and signed on project execution.
I want to share another Daptiv PPM feature - the usage of templates and management All of us who have managed projects, or simply structured an action plan, have looked back on previous experiences by searching our personal files, either from past work, previous projects, university assignments,…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We found it very simple and intuitive to use...The initial setup is straightforward."
"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."
"We can update tasks and track projects."
"ClickUp offers a relatively user-friendly experience, especially when it comes to its fundamental features."
"The simplicity of the tool is valuable because it has categories and subcategories."
"I am currently exploring ClickUp AI, which I think is very good."
"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."
"The timekeeping features are great and very helpful."
"It's difficult to pinpoint just one most valuable feature, as there are many features that can be beneficial. For the specific use case of my client's project management office, they found the project management features of the application to be particularly valuable, such as project boards, reporting, and the ability to customize views. Additionally, task management and project scheduling were also highly utilized. However, capacity planning was not used as much as the others, as there was a lack of support from executives to invest in training and implementing it due to a lack of processes in place. The project planning features, dashboard, and reporting capabilities were considered the most valuable."
"I like the reporting engine, IBM Cognos, especially the analytics. That's a good tool. It's quite strong on the ideation and capacity-planning side, which is a huge plus."
"The powerful collaboration is definitely the most valuable and the fact that you can adjust flexibility to almost any methodology, and the easy creation of complete new functionalities without programming code."
"Changepoint gives us a view of the project status and needs very clearly, which are things that we used to miss with MS Project and Excel."
 

Cons

"ClickUp could improve its documentation section."
"Introducing automation and AI would greatly benefit ClickUp by reducing manual work."
"I would love to see ClickUp integrated with more tools, possibly like Microsoft Loop."
"The cloud-based solution can get bugs in it occasionally, causing latency and loading issues."
"It can be improved by making it more user-friendly."
"ClickUp can improve the UI for mobile devices. For example, they are lacking some features in the Android version, such as Gantt charts."
"ClickUp could improve by streamlining its functions and organizing them better for easier access."
"There is a need for significant improvement in the user interface to make it more intuitive and less time-consuming to become familiar with."
"It would also be nice to see some improvements on the IBM Cognos Analytics. There's still work to be done on the analytics side of things, like your condition formality."
"The areas that should be improved in Planview Daptiv are a subject that can be viewed differently depending on who you ask. I feel they should focus on excelling in one specific area rather than providing average capabilities in many areas. For example, their project planning software is satisfactory but not as advanced as Microsoft Projects. The same goes for the capacity planning tool and reporting capabilities, which can be improved upon by using custom Excel spreadsheets or by hiring a business analyst for additional support. In short, the biggest weakness of Daptiv is that it does not excel in any one area and only provides average performance."
"I find the solution has an excessive amount of features. Many aren't even kept current. Some aren't useful at all. There's an overall lack of coherence within the solution. It can make the execution difficult. Many features can easily be eliminated and it would help streamline the solution. They should get rid of 80% of the features and then really focus on the leftover 20% to make it a really great product."
"This solution needs more standard connectors to other solutions."
"Expense management, simulation scenarios, and budget control could be great and useful features to include."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive."
"The product’s cost is high."
"The product has good pricing."
"I don't have a lot of information about the pricing, but I know that it is fairly inexpensive."
"ClickUp’s pricing is better than Jira Align’s."
"I use the free version."
"This solution costs $20 per user per month. If you have 20 users, you would pay $400 per month. There are no hidden fees that we are aware of."
"ClickUp is affordable."
"The licensing is pretty complex. Each kind of user is a different price. It's approximately $300 per year. They charge additional fees for technical support and other additional services."
"It's a yearly license, but it's not an open license. It's based on users and their roles. So your administrator is priced differently from your timesheet user."
