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.

Saves significant time on demand management and helps accelerate delivery
The ease of customization of the tool means I can support multiple departments in our company. Our users find it easy to use the service and the forms. And the Project Management module is one of the best modules that they work on. It is very important that the platform gives us a single place where we can measure progress toward goals, as we have weekly meetings with the CTO. We present these consolidated overviews and dashboards to him so that he has an overview of all the projects and can see the status of all the problems that we have and we are working on.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of ClickUp is the UI scheduling tool. It is the best and most convenient and attractive."
"ClickUp optimizes task assignments with its user-friendly interface and plethora of options."
"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."
"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."
"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 gives reminders for important project dates and when a particular task is about to close."
"It is great for visualization and project task assignments to team members."
"It is a scalable solution. I would rate it a ten out of ten."
"Scenario comparison is the feature most valuable to us and the reason why we decided to choose HPE PPM over other portfolio management products."
"The solution helps with tech management. It has a work plan similar to Microsoft Project for tracking progress anywhere. It can synchronize with Microsoft Projects for updating and rebooting tasks. They can also assign tasks to team members who can update progress using timesheets without a sheet."
"Has a powerful workflow engine that allows creation of workflow complexities and processes."
"The data provided by PPM is trusted and is available almost immediately; without trusted data there is very less scope of any tool to be successful."
"Micro Focus PPM is flexible and easy to use. It's simple to customize and configure workflows."
"Overall, they have a very strong workflow management capability. That's a very strong feature because then you can model any process easily. Whether it is a demand management process, a pipeline management process, or your project delivery methodology, it is much easier because of their workflow management capability."
"There are so many different pieces of functionality, and we use almost every single piece from deployment to demand, project, resource, and time management."
"Resource management: The resource management module is very complete and covers most of the time all needs of customers."
 

Cons

"ClickUp can improve the UI for mobile devices. For example, they are lacking some features in the Android version, such as Gantt charts."
"It can be improved by making it more user-friendly."
"More automation features must be added."
"ClickUp's interface needs improvement."
"ClickUp could improve its documentation section."
"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."
"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."
"OpenText Project and Portfolio Management could improve in several areas such as portfolio planning and resource allocation."
"The user experience of the product needs to be improved"
"There are some limitations when it comes to attaching receipts. For example, if we are going to buy some non-labor-related assets such as hardware, we are not able to attach the receipts in the Financial Management module in version 9.41."
"The user interface is very, very old and is missing some functions, such as, for example, re-do, follow, and share functions. The UI is not good."
"They can make its UI better. Currently, the UI is a bit clunky."
"Currently, HPE PPM does not allow “Project” approval, but only simple “Demand Request” approval (mobility)."
"Reporting; need to be able to provide fancy reporting out of PPM, way it is done in OBIEE etc."
"I was not involved in the initial setup. I know that the project involved a lot of consulting that took a long time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product’s cost is high."
"I don't have a lot of information about the pricing, but I know that it is fairly inexpensive."
"ClickUp’s pricing is better than Jira Align’s."
"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."
"ClickUp is affordable."
"I use the free version."
"ClickUp's pricing is as per market standards."
"Support and license management are two hurdles for us. Every time we purchase new licenses, it has taken us half a year to implement those."
"Now, we also received an increase in the support license prices, without any advanced notice. At this point, switching to unify all our licensing under HPE and customer support has been poor."
"We have an annual license, and it is fairly priced in comparison to that of other solutions."
"It is SaaS without a base fee."
"HPE PPM SaaS model is comprehensive, however, the base fee component has customer resistance to its recurring setup,"
"There is an additional cost for product support"
"A large organization will find Micro Focus PPM affordable, but it may be a bit costly for a small or medium-sized company. The license is based on the number of users."
