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.

C level has visibility into the entire timeline and status of an initiative, and real-time reporting saves work
It is meant for non-technical users. As a matter of fact, for technical users, it may seem kind of naive or non-sophisticated or something. But for non-tech people, it's a visual treat because it has functionalities and capabilities suited to their business function as well as flexibility in terms of customization to make it adaptable. monday.com is very flexible. We created workspaces for every team and they have the flexibility to create and define their own processes and data points as well as their approval processes. Viewing projects and timelines via Gantt charts in monday.com is a native functionality. The power of the dashboard is that the solution enables you to do risk, timeline, and cost-benefit analyses for your initiatives. It gives you a complete perspective on the impact of your future decisions and initiatives for the upcoming months, quarters, and years. Based on the different levels in the organization, there is visibility into what each function of the organization or each department is up to. As a manager, it gives you a live update of the tasks and any particular changes. You can track the entire project for your teams and for other teams as well. Creating a new project in monday.com takes a few seconds. If you have the templates created you can generate a project via automation. If you have a standard WBS (work breakdown structure) for every single project, you can trigger automation. When the project is approved, within a fraction of a second, the entire WBS is ready for you so that you can start putting in your updates and data. There are around 200 templates available in the solution, and that gives you a baseline to start from, whether you are doing agile management or waterfall. Once you select a template, boom, it creates a baseline structure and you can start. And even if you want to create a new project, it's still pretty simple and a matter of a few seconds.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"ClickUp optimizes task assignments with its user-friendly interface and plethora of options."
"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 useful tool for office management. The solution includes automation and makes it easy to share information with teams. I like its automation ability, which helps automate workflows."
"I am currently exploring ClickUp AI, which I think is very good."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"We found it very simple and intuitive to use...The initial setup is straightforward."
"It is great for visualization and project task assignments to team members."
"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."
"We can remove, add, and modify a project or task charter easily."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the fact that we can make the tool as we want, in the way it is the most useful for us."
"The tagging and notification features are great."
"There are so many automations to streamline everyday tasks and reduce click counts when doing admin work. It is incredible."
"Using the deadline feature to manage priorities has been the most valuable."
"I am able to add in deadlines and filter by work assigned, in progress, and completed."
"Alerts come in pretty handy every once in a while just to keep up."
"The boards and the sub-boards are great."
 

Cons

"The email portion, specifically the email automation, where you can add attachments, has room for improvement."
"ClickUp's interface needs improvement."
"More automation features must be added."
"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 doesn't have a roadmap vision and a proper way of planning."
"They should explain better how costs and licensing are distributed."
"The tool is not user-friendly."
"It would be good if the solution facilitated voice calls or an option to chat directly with a person on ClickUp."
"The service could improve in its ability to automatically update."
"Often we receive technical difficulties on the platform and the entire website will be down."
"Adding more features would be ideal since there are limitations as far as scalability."
"It would be so cool to have live chat with team members when needed instead of having three different apps for work-related tasks."
"Subitems could be reworked a little so that they’re more helpful."
"Once timers are cleared, there is no way to recover this data."
"The site could load a bit faster."
"I have to use a ton of filters to get the exact data I want on an overview board."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It's very affordable."
"ClickUp’s pricing is better than Jira Align’s."
"The product is expensive."
"The price of ClickUp is reasonable. The price is approximately eight dollars per month per person."
"I use the free version."
"Though I am unsure about the product's pricing plan, there is a need to make monthly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution, and it operates on a per-user plan."
"The solution is quite inexpensive. For example, we pay $8,500 for 75 users. It's somewhere around $100 a user, approximately."
"The pricing of monday.com was a little bit high for us, especially here in South Africa, compared to Basecamp."
"I think monday.com's paywalls are a little too high. Some basic features are locked behind the premium subscription. Some applications they offer within their subscription model are locked in an expensive package. These applications provide functionality that would benefit small teams, but it's too much money for a startup or a small business."
"It's definitely affordable. I don't think it is necessarily the cheapest, but it's definitely not the most expensive. The price is well worth the value that we get out of it."
"The pricing of monday.com is worth it."
"It's quite expensive when it goes to the enterprise license. Other tools like Jira cost 5 a month, and then their enterprise license is 38 a month, which is quite expensive for what we can do. It's £500 for a tool on a large enterprise. I'd have hoped that enterprise costs go down, not up. The pro license is £14, and then everything else is much more expensive, which is another barrier for us to adopt because other comparable tools are much more affordable when you have such a high multiplier as well."
"The price is reasonable for the number of users we have."
