Scalability Issues

Sentiment score

Planview PPM Pro offers scalability, effective mostly for SMEs, but faces challenges with large organizations and real-time global usage.
I believe ClickUp's scalability can handle more users or larger workloads if our company grows, as long as the people who set these things up know what they are doing and use the features properly.

Room For Improvement

ClickUp needs UI, mobile app, AI integration, bug tracking, and documentation improvements to enhance user experience and customization.
Planview PPM Pro requires improvements in reporting, integration, interface, resource management, and lacks efficient "What If" planning capabilities.
One area that requires improvement would be the integration with existing systems, such as legacy systems and other project management software.

Setup Cost

ClickUp offers affordable, flexible pricing with competitive enterprise rates and free guest access, appealing to cost-conscious users.
Planview PPM Pro's flexible licensing offers value for large organizations, though costs can be high for smaller entities.
 

Valuable Features

ClickUp streamlines team collaboration with a user-friendly interface, advanced task management, scheduling tools, and AI-enhanced automation features.
Planview PPM Pro excels in reporting, customization, integration, and resource management, enhancing visibility, planning, and decision-making capabilities.
ClickUp improves my team's collaboration process, as it allows inviting everyone without requiring a corporate email address, and external contractors can also see the project, which is a very important feature I prefer over other products.
Solution Architect And Senior Consultant at Keysight Technologies
The audit trail feature has helped me and my team because whenever there is a task followed up, or if it is not done, or if it is changed, we can always go back and see why it was done and when it was done, so it helps keep accountability as well.

Featured Reviews

Sunny Nair - PeerSpot reviewer
Solution Architect And Senior Consultant at Keysight Technologies
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.

Provides good visibility and clearly shows priorities; entering tasks needs an upgrade
The solution is valuable because it gives our executives a high level of understanding of what's going on. I like the portfolio aspect that shows all the projects and the budget and you can see the priorities and whether the project is on track or not. It has good visibility.

Questions from the Community

What do you like most about ClickUp?
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.
What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for ClickUp?
I do not know about the experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for ClickUp because I was not the one who set up the pricing, so I really do not know as it was not done by me.
What needs improvement with ClickUp?
I cannot think of any way ClickUp can be improved, probably because I have still been using it for a short while.
