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.

Helps you avoid delays because you can visualize your deadlines and track your progress
I like the automation you can do with monday.com. You can automate priorities, status changes, notifications, etc. You may need another solution to create this automation in other tools, but monday.com includes everything. The Gantt view for project planning is also pretty good. The interface is another area where monday.com shines. It is colorful and visually appealing. You can paint with colors, and there are multiple views. If you are the type of person who wants all of your information displayed linearly, you can set it up in lines. It's the best tool for evaluating timelines and projects. The most challenging part is deciding how you want to display your information, but as soon as you know what you're doing, it's effortless to view where you are in the project and who's involved. You can set up a simple project in under five minutes, but a super complex one might take a few days. I think it's straightforward if you know how you want to organize your information. monday.com is accessible to non-technical users but takes a lot of time. They have many tutorials, and you can easily use monday.com if you can take the time to go through them and learn. When you initially create a project, it's only a board with lines on which you enter the tasks. You have some columns with the task owner, status, deadlines, etc. It is not that easy to understand all the features and how you can use them for your case, which is why people contact me. When you implement the tool, you decide which layout to use and what information you want to disclose. I've seen clients who have been using this for three years, and they still only know how to do things one way because they haven't taken the time to understand all the features. It's crucial to spend time at the start and learn the tool. I don't think the learning curve is that huge.

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."
"We can update tasks and track projects."
"The most valuable feature of ClickUp is its AI recommendation."
"It is a scalable solution. I would rate it a ten out of ten."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution 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."
"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."
"Creating super-smart to-do lists, intern management, and sales leads lists has been huge."
"The free version provides all the utilities that I need."
"We have been able to keep our projects and acquisitions more organized by using the automation features to move line items over new sections based on the status."
"Monday.com has been helpful to us in multiple ways, however, primarily it has been great in the ability to think through details and assign them to different coworkers."
"I really really like the sort by name or dates functions as they toggle and make being able to offer super-quick organization a breeze, especially when client-facing."
"The sales sheet where we keep track of all transactions including transaction history, customers, and all necessary records is great."
"We also love that Monday talks with Mailchimp so we can always stay connected with people."
"Having visibility of all projects and every team member's workload has been invaluable."
 

Cons

"The solution's user interface is complex and has a steep learning curve. You can't easily find the features that you are looking for."
"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."
"It would be good if the solution facilitated voice calls or an option to chat directly with a person on ClickUp."
"ClickUp could improve its documentation section."
"There is a need for significant improvement in the user interface to make it more intuitive and less time-consuming to become familiar with."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"There are some small usability issues which can be an inconvenience."
"I believe the reporting functionality could be improved on monday.com. While some reports are accessible, this area has room for enhancement. For example, including a Gantt chart in project planning would be valuable. This addition could make monday.com more competitive with tools like Microsoft Project. Overall, I think there's potential for improvement in the graphical interfaces and reports provided by monday.com."
"Making adjustments to the My Work section that it includes deadlines for multiple columns on a board instead of just one would be very useful."
"I'd like to see some kind of way to display our data to realtor partners without giving them access to our entire board."
"It helped us a lot in content management issues for TikTok and YouTube, however, it would be good to have an integration for each social network to get all the data within a single platform."
"Some of the automation is having some technical difficulties."
"It would be beneficial to have the ability to toggle between the traditional Monday.com pulse view and a monthly calendar view."
"The solution has dashboards, however, you have a limited amount. You may only get ten when you need closer to 30. We often need to create many boards. For example, we might need one board per customer. If we have more than ten customers, we run out of boards available. I'm not sure if you can pay more in order to get more or if it's just a design limitation. It's unclear. In any case, they should be more generous."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 is affordable."
"ClickUp’s pricing is better than Jira Align’s."
"It's very 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."
"The price of ClickUp is reasonable. The price is approximately eight dollars per month per person."
"I use the free version."
"monday.com is pretty affordable. It's cheaper than Asana. There are four tiers, including a free version. The free version is fine if you don't have any complex projects. One of the most advanced plans is around $16 per month per user."
"I wasn't involved with the licensing, but I believe it's negotiable."
"We tell others it's about $2200 for a ten-person plan and it can be adjusted; it's easy to scale."
"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 project manager would be responsible for any licensing fees. As an end-user, we just follow suit."
"It was fairly reasonable. For everything we were using it for, it was fairly reasonable."
"I am using the tool's free version."
"There are features that they're putting in the Enterprise plan that you have to pay for the Enterprise plan to use those features. The Enterprise plan is probably double or triple the Pro plan price, or it may be two and a half times. From a business standpoint, I don't like the fact that I have to pay two and a half times more to use a particular feature."
