Considered Both Products
ClickUp
Chose ClickUp
It has been probably around 4 years. A big part of the decision between monday and ClickUp (CU) when we decided on a platform was the pricing model of CU was more suitable. There has been massive updates since we started using CU. So not sure how it stacks up now
Chose ClickUp
I still use both. ClickUp is a little "bigger" and has some more tunning over details. When someone ask me about which to choose, my answer is "you must try them"... start using both and you'll find the best using them and asking users how they feel.
Chose ClickUp
The big selling point of Notion is that it is completely customisable. I would say ClickUp is only slightly less customisable and because the framework and support is there in ClickUp, it is actually faster to onboard people too. ClickUp gives businesses a better foundation to …
Chose ClickUp
Access is great - but not a shareable cloud environment. Monday.com is a close second - CU pips them at the post at this stage. It does become difficult to switch so the choice of tool at the beginning is very very important. The continuous improvements in CU gives me a lot of …
Chose ClickUp
We used ClickUp because if offered the most versatility, while still remaining functional and efficient for our entire company. ClickUp offers features that save time for every team member, and it was very easy to implement and integrate within our company.
Chose ClickUp
Love how ClickUp allows tasks to be opened in their own little window, where you can then see additional info. Monday.com forced us to have every field visible as a column, which lead to really complicated and difficult to navigate boards. ClickUp's Lists are cleaner, more …
Chose ClickUp
I walked away from so many other products that I tried primarily because I wanted to have a task and productivity tool that allowed me to re-envision my 'data' at the task level. I wanted to be able to have Gantt views and dashboard views and then dive in deeper with comments …
Chose ClickUp
ClickUp is more efficient than all of these tools combined. Trello only has one type of view, kanban. You can't customize it to list, dashboard, or calendar. Notion is much harder to manage my company's departments and connect everything like ClickUp. Notion doesn't have the …
Chose ClickUp
More customization and ease of use.
Chose ClickUp
It combines them all with a user friendly interface and a really nice workflow. It keeps work in as less places as possible which makes it easy for new colleagues.
Chose ClickUp
ClickUp has the best UX by far. It also has the most necessary features and the fewest unnecessary features.
Chose ClickUp
Clickup feels a lot more complete and professional.
Chose ClickUp
ClickUp's features were far superior in terms of what we could do for project management and flexible enough we could adjust it to our use case. We found Notion too basic and Monday.com too restrictive. ClickUp is the perfect blend of what we need and their new features often …
Chose ClickUp
I did not make the decision to move to ClickUp, but I did provide feedback and hear feedback from our internal team about how ClickUp centralizes a lot of the company wides resources into one space. I feel that ClickUp provides more dynamic workflow building beyond Jira and …
Chose ClickUp
ClickUp is definitely a marked improvement in just about every way from Redmine. UI, functionalities, usability- all of it has been a much better experience in ClickUp. As for JIRA and AirTable, I think ClickUp's overall layout and organization style trumps those sites by …
Chose ClickUp
We liked ClickUp for the flexibility, the ease of set up, ClickUp university, and the price.
Chose ClickUp
All of them are based on activity management, however ClickUp stands out in several areas: integrations with other tools, management of several spaces simultaneously through views/dashboards, the vast majority of the tools listed do not allow me to have visibility of everything …
Chose ClickUp
Notion, Clickup is easier and it is better looking
Chose ClickUp
ClickUp is by far the most easy to use, superb interface and functionality. The notifications are far superior too.
Chose ClickUp
The best feature of ClcikUp over others is it's customization as well as hierarchy. Departments, clients, operations become easier to manage if the hierarchy is setup in a good way that can allow your business scale without altering it repeatedly.
Customization is another …
Chose ClickUp
Much more flexible and complete, you can shape it for your liking.
Chose ClickUp
ClickUp can be very simple, yet very advanced. That helps us get started while providing something we can grow into as well, to avoid a future switch again.
monday.com
Chose monday.com
It's been a while since trying Asana, so it's hard to say. I think they are very similar from what I remember, but maybe monday.com has more reporting and customization possibilities?
Chose monday.com
monday.com offer much of the standard tools and seems to be ever evolving. They seem to take feedback and constantly upgrade the tools. If all the tools are there, the differentiating factor might be the cost, any integrations you may need, and the visual "chemistry". To me, …
Chose monday.com
We chose to move from Zoho to monday.com when our company started growing exponentially. Overall, our team was thankful for the change because we were growing at far to fast of a speed for Zoho's tools to keep up with us. monday.com is a better, beefier platform with far better …
Chose monday.com
We decided to go with monday.com because they offered a free tier for nonprofits and because they are easier to use and offered additional features that we could not find on the other choices. Hands down, there was no better choice for us than monday.com.
Chose monday.com
When I arrived at my org, I was initially disappointed to hear that we used something other than Asana for project management. Fast forward just a few months, and I became a complete monday.com convert. While its organization is similar to Asana's, it's user interface, …
Chose monday.com
We use Jira, Confluence, Miro and the full Salesforce stack and it's very reliable as are the other softwares.
Chose monday.com
I would say this is one of my least favorite applications. I don't find it super user friendly due to the extreme amounts of customization. It feels like my information is in there somewhere, but I can never find it easily. I think that it looks a lot prettier than asana which …
Chose monday.com
monday.com seems to solve the issues and concerns for our marketing and graphics needs. I personally use Asana for my projects and tracking purposes and monday.com for my interations with Marketing and their needs.
Chose monday.com
monday.com is much easier to use and offers all the tools of google suite in one spot for task management. I use gsuite services still but in an entirely different way. If there is something that needs to be shared with the team or is important that I will need to refer back to …
Chose monday.com
Monday.com is the broadest scope work management software I have used. Its interface is basic and takes some getting used to, but the programming options are highly advanced and extremely effective.
Chose monday.com
I also use the other selected. But I prefer monday.com because it is more clear (visually and intuitively), and also because I have been using it for longer than the others. However, there is the price factor that must be taken into consideration
Chose monday.com
Monday.com is far more intuitive than Salesforce with it's automation features, lists are better and customizable and it makes things easier for everyone on the team.

Salesforces is a great CRM system but I feel as though it falls short as a collaborative project management …
Chose monday.com
As a developer, I have utilized the mentioned apps to integrate processes for clients, and I have found monday.com to be superior due to its abundance of features compared to others. Choosing monday.com provides enough capabilities for teams and managers to handle work in one …
Chose monday.com
monday.com is a much better tool for keeping track of tasks and assignments than MS Planner. In most situations where we used MS Planner we have switched to using monday.com instead.
Chose monday.com
The best aspect of monday.com in my opinion is the Visual Based Data Representation(s)
Chose monday.com
monday.com is so much easier to use & project-tracking is not only easy to do, but the visuals are far from complicated & make it that much easier to keep track of everything.
Chose monday.com
I feel monday.com is easier to use than the others listed. Specifically, I used to use Trello in the past and I really liked it. I even recommended others to use it but since working in monday.com, I found it has so many more features that meet our teams needs and we have found …
Chose monday.com
monday.com has the only interface that is 100% customizable, can use public and private boards, can be shared with customers, produce Gantt charts, and has THE MOST integrations "in house". The professional relationships that monday.com has established to be "on board" with …
Chose monday.com
I searched for some other alternatives like monday.com, and I also tried them. For example, I have experience with Sloneek. But monday.com just feels different. I think it beats the competition in every way. You can also use monday's free version, and it is still a good task …
Chose monday.com
I chose monday.com because of its flexibility and ability to adapt to our needs. Throughout our work, I've seen how it helps us increase productivity and efficiency, which solidified my decision.
Chose monday.com
Compared to the competition, monday.com has better control, more possibilities for use, and the price is very acceptable.
Chose monday.com
The easy of use and configuration is where monday.com has had an advantage. The ability for all our users to startup on the platform has helped to incorporate it into our enterprise environment quickly.
Chose monday.com
Actually, monday.com and Trello, although they are digital board systems, are both very different from each other. Trello is a simpler system that, although its function is also the organization of tasks, its visual system gradually overwhelms the user by "piling up" each post …
Chose monday.com
monday.com is simpler and easier to grasp, apply and navigate than Clickup, but the Clickup free version has so much more functionality available than the monday.com free / low-cost options (sorry, but it's true!).
Google tasks is really simple and I shouldn't really compare …

Great for project management, reoccurring task management, building trackers and keeping track of what everyone is up to. Like all software that has great functionality, having solid governance and control over access is essential. I recommend ensuring that your admins/owners have a close eye on what is going on across the space or it can turn into an unmanageable nightmare.

Here, I will suggest that it is best to create employees, clients, or project reports. Easy to track with the dashboards. I did many integrations and developments. I can not list each of them here. I will say the best tool for management. I couldn't see criteria of unsuitable. But yes It will depend on the client's requirements. I will suggest it as very user-friendly tool for CEOs, CTOs, Managers, and company owners also for team.

Pros
  • Customization of fields in Tickets
  • Integrations with other sites such as Google, Figma, JIRA, and GitHub
  • Combining many apps into one- Ticketing, sprint tracking, form submissions, documentation, file management, and chats
  • Continual improvements. The ClickUp team is always making amazing strides to update the site and make it that much better for its users
Read full review
  • Set stages for each task and assign people to those stages to move projects along
  • Set up automated tasks to get assigned to people and to send out notifications to Slack as well as emails to contractors to work on a project
  • Create multiple boards for projects and the ability to review tasks by date to make sure no project slips through the cracks
Read full review
Cons
  • Their chat feature was nonexistent, and a revamp was rolled out recently.
  • Their whiteboard function for visual collaboration feels clunky and difficult to use smoothly.
  • Their table view/feature (which is supposed to feel like a spreadsheet) is lacking and makes it difficult to copy/move information.

  • Ensuring I have set up a Private board vs public board is not clear - it would be useful to have an additional alert when creating a board as I work with sensitive information. It will eventually be used in a team based environment but while I test the boards, they needs to be private.
  • Time tracking is clumsy, could be easier to record

We're very pleased with how the system works in general. For over a year we've barely ever had any problems with ClickUp and there might have only been one or two times when it wasn't operational for us due to a global emergency. Moreover, when we had a problem once with renewing our licenses we've been contacted directly by our account manager and taken care of in a very professional way (with a due refund as well). The exceptional customer service makes us firmly believe that ClickUp is just the right tool for us.

Teams involved in content creation, such as marketing or editorial teams, could use monday.com to manage the entire content lifecycle. Boards might track content ideas, assignments, drafts, reviews, approvals, and publication schedules, helping teams collaborate and keep content production on track.

Usability
Far easier to use than any other PM tool. ClickUp is incredibly intuitive and had us saving time and energy within the first week of implementation. In my opinion, PM software should make it easier to focus on the deliverables - it shouldn't take all your time and energy to learn how to use the tool in the first place. ClickUp is a user-friendly tool that actually helps us focus on what's important.

It's straightforward to use and simple to understand. They have tutorials on different elements of the system that you can learn. The workflow there is very intuitive, drag and drop, which doesn't require a learning curve for most people. Templates that also make things more accessible can be found.

Reliability and Availability
For over a year ClickUp was unavailable to us just twice for a couple of hours. I would say for a system this big and working globally that was a minor issue. They managed to fix all the issues within a couple hours and then it was back up and running perfectly fine.

Performance
The speed of ClickUp is average to be honest. This is one of the biggest flaws of the system, sometimes it's also lagging a little bit but we also have a lot of documents, lists etc. on our workspace. However, with the next version of ClickUp I've seen they are planning to increase the speed by almost 500%, probably by changing the technology, so I am more than looking forward to it.

Everything performs fairly well. Every now and then there are user errors where an employee will not click "ok" on a note they've created and simply exit out (I do wish that something was in place to prevent this, such as a pop "are you finished?")

Support Rating
Support are genuinely helpful and really nice to deal with. I had a bug on my workspace that I’d been experiencing for a while. They looked into it for me and asked some questions. Once they found the issue and resolved it, they even filmed a video detailing how they’d fixed it. That level of support is fantastic.

monday.com only really care about accounts that have 20 seats or more. While this is great for monday.com, it pushes smaller organisations to evaluate alternatives. We rate monday.com highly in our organisation because key staff have already got good experience with the application and we know we will get to 20+ seats one day. But, till then the billing model and lack of permanent enterprise features is a dread.

Online Training
There are multiple guides on literally all of the functions you can find within the system, therefore it's easy to learn anything you'd really like to use, starting from project and people management, down to Gantts, mind maps, time tracking, inviting Clients as guests to work with you on the projects and so much more.

To have someone walk you thru the features and capabilities of Monday.com is priceless. Someone also coming along later in the contract to see if you are maximizing the program to suit your company needs is beyond helpful. The staff that have provided this training are fun, creative and very patient.

Implementation Rating
Start small. Don’t try to build the most elaborate plans first. Resist the urge to get into Gantt charts if no one is used to them. Just get work written, add dates and assignees, and start getting used to it. If you did not use a work management tool before, you need to be gracious with yourself about the fact that you likely do not have the muscle memory for working this way yet. But you will get there.
And leverage people who know it if possible. Look for ClickUp experts and vendors. They can really supercharge your effectiveness at building the tool out and speed up the process.

We signed up for the accounts. Created the accounts. Ran the trial version and tested it live while we were running multiple projects and found that it was fitting our needs perfectly. When the trial ended and we were asked to purchase the full version, we did. We have found other ways to use it and it's a breeze.

Scaling with ClickUp is superb. If you create a workflow best suited for your organization then it's all about creating new accounts and teaching the new employees the workflow you're using. It's that simple. There is no black magic when it comes to Clickup.

For it to work across multiple departments and sites, I would like to see improvements made with integrations and automation. For this question, I am acknowledging not only the addition of internal triggers/automation, but also an expansion on external ones.
