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."ClickUp optimizes task assignments with its user-friendly interface and plethora of options."
"The most interesting feature is the ability to share what you are working on with an external entity. The customer has direct visibility on what is being done on a particular project and this provides a lot of transparency."
"The simplicity of the tool is valuable because it has categories and subcategories."
"It is a scalable solution. I would rate it a ten out of ten."
"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."
"ClickUp offers a relatively user-friendly experience, especially when it comes to its fundamental features."
"The most valuable feature of ClickUp is its AI recommendation."
"So when I take a note, I have the ability to highlight text and have it transform into a specific part of the note as a task."
"The solution is stable."
"It can auto-connect based on the dates, which makes it easy. It auto-assigns people, and when you're starting to type in, it auto-fills and populates for you, which is great. It provides little time savers when you're typing everything out."
"Technical support has been very helpful."
"The pricing is pretty good on the enterprise agreement we have."
"The features I find the most valuable are scheduling and reporting."
"If you work with Microsoft, it's very easy to work with this."
"We value all the features. Previously, we used Jenkins for similar purposes, but Microsoft Projects works fine. We're looking to improve integration with different clusters on production and automate various aspects of software development. This includes integration for alerting, monitoring, and pricing purposes, among other things."
"It is easy to use and pretty intuitive. User interfaces have stayed the same for the most part for the last 20 years. So, there is a familiarity."
"It would be good if the solution facilitated voice calls or an option to chat directly with a person on ClickUp."
"It can be improved by making it more user-friendly."
"ClickUp could improve its documentation section."
"ClickUp doesn't have a roadmap vision and a proper way of planning."
"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."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"ClickUp's interface needs improvement."
"The email portion, specifically the email automation, where you can add attachments, has room for improvement."
"It would be ideal if the solution integrated more with Azure DevOps and other work management platforms like Jira."
"The collaboration has room for improvement."
"I find that MS Project has limited control in comparison to other solutions in the same sphere."
"Its user experience can be improved while configuring it. Its reporting can also be better. Reporting is not very easy. Reports do not always work. I was trying to download some reports, and they didn't work. I don't know if it was related to the configuration that I was using. I didn't go too deep to check if something was missing."
"The packaging of Microsoft Project Professional is pretty simple as a product. But, the end-to-end enterprise is complex."
"Planview FLEX licensing gives us a central repository where all the projects are stored so you can check the finances, resources, etc. It's quite useful to have everything connected. We don't have that for Microsoft Project. It's disconnected. The reporting capabilities could also be better, especially with finance and resources. Everybody complains about reports. That's why we need another tool."
"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."
"Microsoft Project could improve the interface, it should be more intuitive. It could be adjusted a little bit to make it a little easier to use and more user-friendly. It is a very powerful tool and it takes people a while to get used to it."
