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.

Project collaboration has improved and automation saves time and reduces errors
The best features monday.com offers are reporting, customization, and company contacts, tracking communication, and project plans. All of the features are really important, especially the project planning, which gives us the ability to manipulate project plans, and it's very helpful. Also, tracking our communication is valuable. I love that I can see both my communications and the communications of my coworkers with the company contacts. When it comes to company contacts, I appreciate the ability to have the company as well as various tags, documents, and contact types. It has really boosted our team collaboration, where different departments are able to collaborate within one project, and we are able to complete many projects on time and deliver them to our clients. Our clients have become very happy over time since we started using monday.com. We've been able to complete many projects on time and meet our deadlines. This has really made our clients happy, and they have trusted us a lot. Through automation of tasks which were previously time-consuming and tedious, we've been able to save a lot of time and cost. We've also improved our team collaboration. We can collaborate securely remotely, thereby improving our productivity. We've been able to save thousands of dollars since we started using automation. We're able to save approximately 80% of our time through automation. We've also been able to reduce human risk, where there is no human contact with the data, thereby greatly reducing human error.
