Product owner at Digitt Plus (AFT)

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.

A solution that gives you all the information you need to plan detailed projects

The initial setup was just a little complex. I rate the initial setup a seven out of ten. Deploying the solution took two weeks. While deploying the solution, we had two instances, one for the IT team and one for the business team. And we had to connect the two and explain things to the team. Only two people were needed to deploy the solution, me and another person.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It gives reminders for important project dates and when a particular task is about to close."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"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."

"It is a scalable solution. I would rate it a ten out of ten."

"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."

"The most valuable feature of ClickUp is its AI recommendation."

"It is great for visualization and project task assignments to team members."

"The tool is pretty intuitive."

More ClickUp pros

"Enterprise One provides end-to-end work management for the full spectrum of types of work in one tool. It affects our project management because our project management uses Planview to monitor their daily work. Every night it loads our SAP system and then they monitor the daily work. They use Planview as a full planning and monitoring tool."

"With the lifecycles, it helps us step through our processes easier. We'll take a process and create it in Visio, then we'll go and implemented in Planview. Anytime that we have to do a new process, this is what we use. We just step it through the lifecycles and the configure screens are very easy to use. The fields that you need are easy to use."

"The solution view into resource capacity and availability helps us to manage work."

"Its view into resource capacity and availability absolutely help us manage work. We can't plan out projects for delivery until we know if we have resources available to deliver them. That's been really critical. We look at our projects and see what availability of resources we have. That helps us to determine when we can start new work."

"I like that it's an enterprise environment. I can look across everything that's going on and have a sense of what is going on within the organization."

"The most valuable features are the resource management, the time sheet entry and usage, and the financial planning. With our projects, we primarily focus on resource assignments, as far as determining the actual forecast and actuals of our projects. A lot of it is based off of the resources utilized on those projects. The time based helps us capture the actuals. The amount of time people are spending on working on their project tasks. Because they've built this into the schedule, so we can build the forecast. With financial planning, we're able to look back on what our variance is and if there is anything between the scheduled forecasted hours, dollars against the actual hours, and the costs that they utilize."

"We can easily see which functions are overcapacity. Before, we did not have visibility into that."

"Its view into resource capacity and availability helps us to manage work. In reporting, we use this facility to help with resource capacity and availability. It also helps to see how much we are using. We derive that information from the work and resource management screen. That is very helpful."

Cons

"I would love to see ClickUp integrated with more tools, possibly like Microsoft Loop."

"ClickUp could improve by streamlining its functions and organizing them better for easier access."

"The cloud-based solution can get bugs in it occasionally, causing latency and loading issues."

"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 being customised to the development industry. We would like to have bug trackers and an agile approach built into the solution."

"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 its documentation section."

More ClickUp cons

"We've been using it for a while, so it's about maturity. It's about being able to build out things in Agile groups and teams and some of that. Then really trying to drive into the direction of Lean Portfolio Management and more Agile program management, I think is where we're heading."

"I think the capabilities are there, but it seems difficult for me to even create a report as I am not a Planview technical expert. It is not particularly intuitive. It slows us down in reporting the big picture to management."

"Some of the out-of-the-box reporting is not immediately useful and although it can be configured or customized, there are still improvements that can be made."

"I would like to be able to copy and paste from Excel into work and assignments along with roles and hours, as opposed to having to type it out one by one."

"When it comes to reporting there are some challenges with integration."

"The technical support is a little overworked. At least, they have been in the past year. We need them to focus on somethings from time to time. You can tell that they're really focusing on many things. It has gotten better, but I think they could still use some relief."

"I would like to be able to integrate with Oracle to supplement what we're currently doing with reporting."

"I think that the user interface needs some getting used to. It's not immediately intuitive. That's potentially room for improvement. I think also that an organization needs to have good support from some senior management to get something like Planview established."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's very affordable."

"The product has good pricing."

"ClickUp is affordable."

"I don't have a lot of information about the pricing, but I know that it is fairly inexpensive."

"The product’s cost is high."

"ClickUp’s pricing is better than Jira Align’s."

"I use the free version."

"The product is expensive."

More ClickUp pricing and cost advice

"Our licensing costs are probably $150,000 to $180,000 a year with 270 licenses total."

"The cost of other pieces and integrating them in needs improvement."

"We have several hundred licenses. It costs us several hundred thousand dollars a year."

"Our licensing costs are about a quarter of a million dollars per year."

"We overbought our licenses. We looked at our needs three to four years down the road and tried based our contract on that. However, we were over aggressive. We use about a third of the licenses that we have. We're looking to adjust the makeup so we can start utilizing the amount of money that we are spending. Right now, we're overspending, and my organization is not seeing the value in Planview because we are paying so much for licenses that we're not using."

"I don't think we have necessarily purchased everything that I would have liked to have seen."

"We recently did a new bundle for all of Enterprise One. It includes some of the newer pieces, like Projectplace and LeanKit. It bundled our CTM in with it as well. I think the total came out to be about $900,000 a year. This is for unlimited licenses."

"When we went through that process, I believe it is competitive with others on the market. However, there are less expensive options available. It's a more premium offering at a higher price."
