A stable solution that offers it users a choice to opt for a streamlined approach to task management
From a product management function perspective, it can be challenging to measure whether ClickUp improves efficiency on a month-to-month basis. However, I believe that using ClickUp helps maintain our efficiency levels. If we were to stop using it, I am 100% sure that our efficiency would decrease. That being said, just because we are using ClickUp does not automatically mean our efficiency will increase. We have reached a point where we understand how to use ClickUp effectively, and without it, it would definitely be a problem. However, using it alone does not make us better every day. The absence of ClickUp would definitely cause a problem. But, since we are using ClickUp, we don't get to improve 10% on a month-by-month or a year-on-year basis. So, that's very difficult to measure. Introducing automation and AI would greatly benefit ClickUp by reducing manual work. Currently, team members need to update tasks and communicate issues, which requires me to read through each task and comment to understand the situation. However, if AI could assist in making faster decisions, it would greatly improve efficiency. I need to intervene at a minute level to discover if someone is facing a problem, but AI could help detect issues faster. The success of AI implementation can be seen in how ChatGPT has utilized AI.

Easy to set up and use, facilitates collaboration, and the technical support responds quickly to issues
The most valuable feature is the collaboration with other teams. It allows me to see an overview of the entire project, helping to estimate how much time and effort I have to dedicate to specific sections. The risk management feature is one that I find very good. Right from the initial steps, we found this product easy to use. The logging features are good.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a scalable solution. I would rate it a ten out of ten."
"It is great for visualization and project task assignments to team members."
"The most valuable feature of ClickUp is its AI recommendation."
"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."
"We can update tasks and track projects."
"The most valuable feature of ClickUp is the UI scheduling tool. It is the best and most convenient and attractive."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The product has an efficient design."
"The most useful features of Planview are its integration with resource management and the ability to commit and reserve various resources."
"The workspace ease, navigation, and portfolios are the most valuable aspects of this solution. I just got access to the portfolios from my upper management, so I'm able to look at our specific SRE portfolio to see what's a priority, look at how many hours we've tracked, and things like that. I'm not so much included in the budgeting but it's important to see what projects are higher priority and so forth."
"I love the collaborative nature just from my role to help. I'm a strategist. I help manage those large strategic projects. Implementation is one significant piece of my role, but I love the collaboration that can exist within the tool."
"Projectplace absolutely supports collaboration in real-time. It's probably one of the best tools out there for collaboration. It affects the project's progress quite a bit. I have started two very similar projects in two separate business units, on very similar teams. I did one with Enterprise One, I did one with Projectplace just to see how the mileage would vary. The one with Projectplace had a very short cycle time so we were able to finish the project earlier. The one with Enterprise One was less engaging and it took a little more time. Because we were tracking the tasks inside the schedule it was not on the cards."
"Clarizen's slide publisher is one of my favorite features."
"It is a complete solution. It is very useful for the management of our internal processes."
"Planview Projectplace is a really good solution for document sharing and keeping track of the history of changes in the document. I also like that you can have everything you need for a project in one place, for example, for documentation, planning, and even resource planning."
"Right from the initial steps, we found this product easy to use."
 

Cons

"ClickUp's interface needs improvement."
"ClickUp could improve its documentation section."
"It can be improved by making it more user-friendly."
"I would love to see ClickUp integrated with more tools, possibly like Microsoft Loop."
"They should explain better how costs and licensing are distributed."
"Introducing automation and AI would greatly benefit ClickUp by reducing manual work."
"The tool is not user-friendly."
"The email portion, specifically the email automation, where you can add attachments, has room for improvement."
"They should also improve the interface. There are other competitors like Microsoft Project for the web, Wrike, Team Gantt who have a way better, modern user interface."
"I believe that the graphs, reporting, and connection with the slides are areas that need improvement."
"The time reporting is an excellent feature that they can show from an individual. The only problem I see is the description field. You can't increase that field, like to pull the column and widen the column that I've seen. I'm not seeing anywhere you could do that. Because you may have some of these cards that start with the same name and you only have so much real estate. There should be a way to adjust those columns somewhat so you can look at the description or hover over it and it tells you what the description is."
"The reporting end of it needs improvement. There should be more reporting, more data at your fingertips. It should be easier and a little more user-friendly. I know there is some there, but it's just how do you get more meat on the bones, if you will, of what's available."
"If the mobile app were improved to show more information then it would be good."
"In terms of what could be improved in Planview Projectplace, it would depend on the purpose, because if you talk about resource planning, from my perspective, it's not the best tool. It would also depend on the company itself, for example, I've been working with another company and Planview Projectplace was needed more for workload and resource planning purposes, and I don't think the solution covered those purposes well. Its resource planning and workload functions need improvement."
"We'd like to see a heartier connection between Projectplace and Enterprise One. We know that's on their roadmap, but they haven't gotten there yet. Planview could also make better use of Projectplace's template capability."
"Planview is a resource management and project management system. Projectplace allows you to create boards and associate some of Planview's work breakdown structure as a top-level tree under which you can place cards, but there are many limitations because when you make a change in Planview, it is reflected in Projectplace. However, except for a few specific things, changes made in Projectplace are not ported back to Planview. At this point, they're two completely different products. The flaw is that there is very little integration between the two."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"ClickUp's pricing is as per market standards."
"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."
"The product has good pricing."
"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."
"The product is expensive."
"The price of ClickUp is reasonable. The price is approximately eight dollars per month per person."
"ClickUp is affordable."
"I think the price of Projectplace is highly reasonable for the amount of functionality that you get. We have what they call a FLEX License. That means you get Projectplace, Enterprise One, and Leankits all on the same license. That's great because then you can use the other products without any additional cost."
"It can be expensive, but if you see the functionalities and the processes, it's not as expensive as other applications. We pay about 1 million Mexican Pesos per year for all 100 licenses."
"I would say the licensing maturity was probably a three out of five. They have a long way to go before they can scale out and retain enterprise customers."
"I believe it is a good value for money for the service they provide and the tailored program. When compared to Microsoft Project."
"The cost of this product is mid-range. It's not too expensive but not the cheapest on the market."
"In my opinion, the pricing is reasonable."

Questions from the Community

What do you like most about ClickUp?
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.
What needs improvement with ClickUp?
They should explain better how costs and licensing are distributed. They auto take money from the credit card without notification for a while.
