Find out in this report how the two Project Management Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The simplicity of the tool is valuable because it has categories and subcategories."
"The most valuable feature of ClickUp is its AI recommendation."
"The most valuable feature of ClickUp is the UI scheduling tool. It is the best and most convenient and attractive."
"It gives reminders for important project dates and when a particular task is about to close."
"ClickUp optimizes task assignments with its user-friendly interface and plethora of options."
"We found it very simple and intuitive to use...The initial setup is straightforward."
"The product has an efficient design."
"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."
"Time tracking and budget tracking are the most valuable features of the solution."
"The most valuable feature is probably the Kanban diagram. People are familiar with the Kanban tools. When they do their scrum meetings, they have that Kanban board where you can see the different tiles for all the queries and move them from left to right. IT is familiar with that because, for development, most of the tools have that capability. It could also be more graphical, like Asana."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Project are the availability of being online and within Teams. My entire team can use it and see it, versus the full Microsoft Projects, such as Project Professional, you need to have a license."
"They now have MS project Online and they have two levels, so it's easier to access what you need and to choose specifically what you'll use. You can start at a lower level, for example, and be more cost-effective and move up if it suits you."
"The solution is very complete. It makes it a great option for project managers and they can use it extensively in almost any organizational setup."
"The user interface is very clean."
"A lot of valuable features have been added in the last three years, including scheduling automation and intelligence."
"The reporting and national resource capacity planning are the most valuable features."
"ClickUp could improve by being customised to the development industry. We would like to have bug trackers and an agile approach built into the solution."
"It can be improved by making it more user-friendly."
"Introducing automation and AI would greatly benefit ClickUp by reducing manual work."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"ClickUp doesn't have a roadmap vision and a proper way of planning."
"ClickUp could improve its documentation section."
"The tool is not user-friendly."
"I would love to see ClickUp integrated with more tools, possibly like Microsoft Loop."
"I am not that close to it anymore, but I know that there were some cut and paste issues when we were trying to move one group of roles to another, and they used to muck up the interdependencies between the tiers, rows, and other things."
"What could have been better is the integration with Office 365 so that if you're discussing a project on Teams or there's an email related to the project, it can be tagged to the project in Microsoft Project. That functionality is currently not there."
"There have been some drawbacks with customization. Some users want it to be an automation tool."
"I would like to see the inclusion of multi-currency support."
"It should be easier to break things. Breaking up the visualization from the task is sometimes a little bit tricky to do. You can do it, but it takes a minute. It's not an easy function to do. The way you have to format it and stuff like that takes a minute."
"I would like to see an entire baseline, like in JIRA."
"In a future update, the system should be more inclusive and open to everyone, not just limited to one organization. For example, there may be instances where we want to bring in a guest from outside our organization and integrate them into our project. It would be beneficial if the system was more accessible and easy to integrate with other projects. Additionally, it would be great if there was a way to receive notifications, regardless of whether they come from a Gmail domain or another domain, to keep us informed of any incoming tasks."
"I'd like the solution to be less expensive."
