Reviews of ClickUp
A highly effective project management tool
Comments: ClickUp's customization options are what really set it apart for me. I can tailor the platform to fit my exact needs and preferences.
Pros:
I find ClickUp to be an incredibly beneficial project management tool. Its versatility, extensive features, seamless integrations, and customization options make it a standout choice. The live chat support is also a huge plus.
Cons:
I'm thoroughly impressed with this tool. It's been incredibly helpful and I have nothing but positive things to say about it.
Alternatives Considered:
Solid all in one product
Comments: Overall though, especially as a user I'm very happy with the product and it works the best out of all we have tried, especially also for the other non IT/Development departments that struggled with utilizing other solutions before
Pros:
It is a fully fledged all in one solution for Product Development. We use it from creating and tracking high level goals to individual projects and even our ticket system is here. Added to that it has a robust set of supporting features like Documents, Graphs, and Video recording (for help videos etc.)
Cons:
It can be unreliable, from just beeing very slow in general, to loading issues that keep cropping up where I can't edit Task descriptions because the field is just in a loading loop. To a lesser degree for a user but for me as an admin: Upselling, they are constantly trying to upsell you, from AI to courses to the business plus plan (which on their pricing page they don't even list, but they love gating little things behind) Similiarly they love to tell you how easy it is to add a user in the middle of a month, but remove one and suddenly you have "an open seat" that you should quickly fill since you are already paying for it. Those and other examples just make the practices feel very money grabby and I'm kind of fearing them taking away features just to add into another extra premium fee.
ClickUp is great for small project management
Pros:
You can manage a few projects at a time with ClickUp.
Cons:
I had SO MANY issues with the templates. I would use a template for a project and it would add 2-3 of each task from the template to the project or add some but not all tasks from the template.
Almost helped me get my life together! Almost.......
Comments: Overall, I really appreciate ClickUp and I want to be able to utilize it consistently. For myself personally, as someone with ADHD tendencies this software is extremely intriguing, yet at the same time it's too complicated and time consuming to be a helpful day-to-day tool. If I had more time (and attention!) I could see this software being an intrigal piece in how I managed my life - both for work and home. Someday, I could see this happening. But until I have the time to make this happen, I'm off in search of the one true software that might finally help me to get my life organized!
Pros:
Click up has SO many features! Even their free version is loaded with different tools to help you organize/plan/create/coordinate etc.. I love all of the options that are available throughout the experience of uing Clickup. Users are able to tailor and personalize almost all default settings/templates at every step along the way. I also appreciate the emphasis on versatility and adaptability of this software. This software is fully functional for user's Work and/or Personal goals/projects/plans etc.. as well as when being utilized as an individual user or within a team of user's who are collaborating..
Cons:
The software has so many great features and options but the one downside is accessibility and ease of use for user's. The app on my IOS apple iphone SE was almost unusable (for me!) I am not an expert when it comes to using software but I'm also not a novice. For me the app was very confusing and took so much time/energy to set up that it was not worth even trying.

Loving Clickup!
Pros:
Clickup has so many features that I love and find very useful. I’m on one of the paid plans and was surprised by how many features are available for such a low cost. I was using another project manager before switching to Clickup and the cost of that one was much higher with fewer features. I’m glad I made the switch!
Cons:
I do notice some glitches from time to time, but I know they are working on them and have noticed fewer of them recently.
