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.

Do not be afraid to migrate to cloud solutions
I started using Daptiv PPM at SAP R/3, 22 module implementation, with over 80 functional team members, in different geographic locations. It definitely gave us the opportunity to centralize all schedules per module and assemble work teams for each subproject, binding them with co-dependent tasks in other modules. This type of tool allowed us to finish the back office stage just a week behind the original baseline, a real record for SAP R/3 implementation.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of ClickUp is the UI scheduling tool. It is the best and most convenient and attractive."
"It is great for visualization and project task assignments to team members."
"The simplicity of the tool is valuable because it has categories and subcategories."
"The most valuable feature of ClickUp is its AI recommendation."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"I like the reporting engine, IBM Cognos, especially the analytics. That's a good tool. It's quite strong on the ideation and capacity-planning side, which is a huge plus."
"Changepoint gives us a view of the project status and needs very clearly, which are things that we used to miss with MS Project and Excel."
"The powerful collaboration is definitely the most valuable and the fact that you can adjust flexibility to almost any methodology, and the easy creation of complete new functionalities without programming code."
"It's difficult to pinpoint just one most valuable feature, as there are many features that can be beneficial. For the specific use case of my client's project management office, they found the project management features of the application to be particularly valuable, such as project boards, reporting, and the ability to customize views. Additionally, task management and project scheduling were also highly utilized. However, capacity planning was not used as much as the others, as there was a lack of support from executives to invest in training and implementing it due to a lack of processes in place. The project planning features, dashboard, and reporting capabilities were considered the most valuable."
"The timekeeping features are great and very helpful."
 

Cons

"There is a need for significant improvement in the user interface to make it more intuitive and less time-consuming to become familiar with."
"ClickUp could improve its documentation section."
"It can be improved by making it more user-friendly."
"More automation features must be added."
"ClickUp can improve the UI for mobile devices. For example, they are lacking some features in the Android version, such as Gantt charts."
"ClickUp could improve by streamlining its functions and organizing them better for easier access."
"ClickUp's interface needs improvement."
"I would love to see ClickUp integrated with more tools, possibly like Microsoft Loop."
"This solution needs more standard connectors to other solutions."
"It would also be nice to see some improvements on the IBM Cognos Analytics. There's still work to be done on the analytics side of things, like your condition formality."
"The areas that should be improved in Planview Daptiv are a subject that can be viewed differently depending on who you ask. I feel they should focus on excelling in one specific area rather than providing average capabilities in many areas. For example, their project planning software is satisfactory but not as advanced as Microsoft Projects. The same goes for the capacity planning tool and reporting capabilities, which can be improved upon by using custom Excel spreadsheets or by hiring a business analyst for additional support. In short, the biggest weakness of Daptiv is that it does not excel in any one area and only provides average performance."
"I find the solution has an excessive amount of features. Many aren't even kept current. Some aren't useful at all. There's an overall lack of coherence within the solution. It can make the execution difficult. Many features can easily be eliminated and it would help streamline the solution. They should get rid of 80% of the features and then really focus on the leftover 20% to make it a really great product."
"Expense management, simulation scenarios, and budget control could be great and useful features to include."

"ClickUp’s pricing is better than Jira Align’s."
"ClickUp's pricing is as per market standards."
"The product has good pricing."
"The price of ClickUp is reasonable. The price is approximately eight dollars per month per person."
"ClickUp is affordable."
"I don't have a lot of information about the pricing, but I know that it is fairly inexpensive."
"It's a yearly license, but it's not an open license. It's based on users and their roles. So your administrator is priced differently from your timesheet user."
"The licensing is pretty complex. Each kind of user is a different price. It's approximately $300 per year. They charge additional fees for technical support and other additional services."
