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.

Easy to tag people and has a form system to collect information but cannot work in multiple channels simultaneously

There are several areas where Wrike could improve. First, it doesn't allow accessing multiple channels simultaneously, which would be useful. Transferring data from one project to another is also difficult. It would be easier to work on parallel tasks across different projects. I've noticed others facing similar issues when I check the chat on their website. The tool should also improve coordination between external stakeholders and collaborators. It should also integrate financial features.

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

Pros

"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."

"ClickUp offers a relatively user-friendly experience, especially when it comes to its fundamental features."

"We found it very simple and intuitive to use...The initial setup is straightforward."

"The product has an efficient design."

"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."

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

"The tool is pretty intuitive."

More ClickUp pros

"I find Wrike's form system very valuable. I can share forms with my collaborators, and they can fill them out, providing me with the necessary information. Another useful feature is the communication platform, which makes it easy to tag someone and communicate efficiently. Additionally, the integration with Microsoft Office is great. I can create a card on Wrike directly from my MS Teams chat, which is convenient."

"The solution is stable and reliable."

"It's a very easy-to-use and flexible tool. We can easily write and create queues for different themes. It's very user-friendly."

"We can easily write down the tasks and reorganize them as well as have a progression index. Wrike offers several views including a kanban view and Gantt chart view."

"The product is intuitive. It is easy to learn and update. You can follow the project from the beginning till the end with the help of the solution. The tool helps to update the project in seconds."

"Visibility and organization are the most valuable features of Wrike."

"We utilize time tracking and reports most often."

"This is a good tool for project progress tracking and sharing tasks with internal and external parties."

More Wrike pros

Cons

"It would be good if the solution facilitated voice calls or an option to chat directly with a person on ClickUp."

"More automation features must be added."

"They should explain better how costs and licensing are distributed."

"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's interface needs improvement."

"The email portion, specifically the email automation, where you can add attachments, has room for improvement."

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

"There is a need for significant improvement in the user interface to make it more intuitive and less time-consuming to become familiar with."

More ClickUp cons

"The product needs to send direct emails to customers updating the latest aspects since it is better to hear directly."

"It would be great if they could develop more reporting."

"What annoys me with Wrike and things that I would like to improve is that you need to have a very organized workflow that everyone in the company follows, and only then will Wrike work."

"We feel that the actual project reports and roll-ups could be a lot different. We are seeking something more for the dashboard. We would like a high-level dashboard that can be broken down into individual product roll-ups and tasks that are assigned. If you assign someone to a task, it assigns them all of the tasks under that. We want to be able to break those down so that a person doesn't have an 800 task list, for example. We want more separation with that and a higher-level dashboard experience."

"On one side, it's very easy to create a task with text, but on the other side, it's not very well-formatted. Therefore, it's difficult to track specific data written in a task. We are making templates, but it's not enough to use a template to know the exact status of different tasks. One thing that we are looking for in Wrike is a better workflow. Because we can only move the status of tasks, we can't really manage workflow and send a task to a specific person. This is what is really missing in Wrike as compared to other tools. We are looking to replace Wrike because we need support for workflow. Another issue with Wrike is that they bring a lot of versions of the tool, which it's not so easy. They bring new versions very frequently, and these versions look similar. For example, we are using robots to read the tasks in the tools, which is problematic with Wrike because it is changing very frequently."

"We faced an issue with the Wrike outlook add-on; it is only available for Microsoft Office 365, and not the on-premise version."

"Wrike needs to be more responsive to community requests for new features."

"The response from the website is a little bit slow, and the tool is too expensive for a small team."

More Wrike cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"ClickUp is affordable."

"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."

"It's very affordable."

"The product is expensive."

"The product’s cost is high."

"The product has good pricing."

"The price of ClickUp is reasonable. The price is approximately eight dollars per month per person."

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

More ClickUp pricing and cost advice

"Wrike is not so expensive, but I don't know exactly how it compares with other tools. Wrike might not be so cheap when we are using it for a lot of users."

"From a pricing perspective, I would rate Wrike a four out of five."

"Wrike is expensive."
