SAIC is a gSuite campus and Airtable is a very good companion to the gSuite. The Airtable gDrive integration is quite good and Airtable solves problems that gSuite simply does not solve.
Though it does not replace them, Airtable also plays well with our Project Management …
As a Project Manager, I am always looking for improving my tasks job. I have used many software applications starting from Excel. The experience so far has been provided for people from ClickUp. Notion is easy to use but is mainly open to people for writing and you can't …
Although I prefer Airtable's automation – especially for content management – I do think ClickUp is still better than Asana or Trello. It's a multi-purpose tool, and the ease of integration with other teams allows us to remain flexible. It's easy to visualize and track tasks …
There are probably other products that we evaluated that I can't remember anymore. We liked Airtable a lot, but it was cost prohibitive. ClickUp was the only one where one division could use list view and another division could use board view. In the end, ClickUp checked off …
Trello is irrelevant now because ClickUp does so much more than boards alone. I found Airtable messy. I still use Toggl, but it's just up to me to switch over at some point. ClickUp is the one big multipurpose tool I've trialed that stuck.
ClickUp captured all the best features from all those tools. The hierarchy beats them all. In Basecamp, Trello and Asana, you have to check each board or project to see what is happening there. The Butler automation in Trello does not match what ClickUp can do. Airtable is …

Chose ClickUp
ClickUp suited my task and project management needs more than Notion. SmartSuite is a recent addition because it handles relational databases much better and has a nicer interface for my team to onboard with. I have used Airtable for relational databases and have migrated that …
I think that all of the tools I've used (Asana, Airtable, Trello and Notion) are great in itself! The thing about ClickUp is that it does it all! And now, with 3.0 coming in Q2/2023 it will only leave a bigger gap between the other tools. Their slogan: "1 app to replace them …
Asana, last time we checked, was too simple and not robust enough to use as a resource manager. Trello is too simple. Airtable has too much focus on the spreadsheet capabilities. ClickUp is a good cross between Airtable, Asana, and Trello
I think ClickUp has the best pricing structure of the competitors I have used in the past. I did not think most of the competitors had as many features or customization possibilities, or automation capabilities. Project Management definitely should not have to live in …
ClickUp is better than other project management tools because it's got everything you need in one place, it's super user-friendly, and it's more affordable compared to other all-in-one project management solutions out there. Plus, it integrates with tons of other tools you …
I prefer ClickUp to similar tools as it is far easier to use. It has more capabilities and doesn't require a lot of time to understand. I enjoy that you can view your projects in multiple ways through ClickUp. While it is easy to use, it's also very customizable so I can make …
I love that there are more advanced features like checklists, subtasks, recurring due dates, custom fields, time-tracking, docs, task-linking, goals, dashboards, users & teams, email integration, integration customizations, automation, various view options, filtering & sorting, …
All of the ones we evaluated had some features we needed, but only ClickUp had all the features that we were looking for. monday.com and Asana were close, but the extra features that ClickUp had, as well as all the training webinars, were what ultimately influenced us to go …
After testing lots of project/task management and productivity apps, I think ClickUp provides the best combination of functions found in other apps on the market, and has lots of useful integrations with other services.
Well, ClickUp seriously out competes these other products due to the following. 1. Large tech stack / features 2. Fully customisable to the business needs 3. The Goals feature is a real game changer and the other products don't have it. 4. Rapid innovation, ClickUp is always …
ClickUp is advanced enough to support power users and project management professionals, while flexible enough to allow users with fewer requirements to get the job done in the same tool, and the same space.
ClickUp beats all of them for simplicity and cost. I do use Dubsado for my CRM, and it does have some of the project management type features, but to me it is cumbersome. ClickUp simplifies it all.
ClickUp is completely cloud-based which helps to manage my work from different places. Notion offers a desktop app but I faced difficulty syncing. Microsoft Planner was very handy but it lacks features compared to ClickUp. Wrike and Todoist are more focused on to-dos and face …
ClickUp has a very large feature set and doesn't force you into any particular paradigm. Its user management and overall architecture of Space - Folder - List - Task works really well for many, many use cases. It's flexible enough to get something started very quickly, and has …
I would say that these are also very good project management systems and it would be unfair to say that they are not. I think that for us it was the overall feel that suited better than the above-mentioned tools. The intuitiveness that ClickUp gave us was more close to our way …
Both the other products were fine, but I felt that they were majorly focused on doing one thing and that's project management. Sure, I could find workarounds, but it didn't feel like they were very flexible. Also, they are expensive and overwhelming. I would recommend them to …
It's just better in every way. There are more features and more templates than anything I've ever seen or used, and they're constantly coming out with new ones. It's also the most customizable, so it's good for simple AND complex projects. User adoption is easy and people …
Airtable is very well suited for a niche environment that finds other project tracking or collaborative tools to be limiting. The ability to build out a single pool of information to best suit each team member's visual or functional needs is amazing. While the setup time can be lengthy, depending on your particular needs, it is really worth it when it's finally ready.
As a CRM tool, ClickUp fit like a charm, due to it's easy to customize nature, made possible to have the CRM setup done in a week at nearly zero cost, required some programing knowledge from my end, but I made it possible. As a inventory management, we are now capable of controling our inventory deep down to every detail we feel necessary. As a task management tool, of course, it's the basic nature of ClickUp, but now we no longer need to poke each other shoulder and ask about the ongoing status of any given task, we open the dashboard and everything is there. We now use this time to interact more and do other stuff.
Airtable has capabilities commonly found in spreadsheet applications, but also has some of the features found in databases.
The ability to filter fields. I set up a filter on the status field, so when a project is marked, complete, on hold, or canceled, that record is hidden from my current projects table view. If it is marked complete, the record is moved to the completed projects table view. In this way I can easily access a record of past projects
Being able to duplicate tables and create alternate views
Collapse and expand records. When I collapse the rows, I can easily scan current projects, next steps, project status, and due dates. When I expand the row, or field, I can see more detailed information about that field or record very easily. I can also expand or open the entire record. This is is helpful, when I am entering a lot of information to multiple fields in that record.
While working on the Airtable I have noticed that it is not open to uploading of the files for large sizes, most of the time files are not uploaded or links may get broken.
In addition, they do not talk much about the time tracking tool and how we can calculate our hours, I still do it with just estimation and by the calendar.
We will 10/10 renew the use of Airtable because it has brought great value to our team. Not only is Airtable affordable, but it's also user-friendly and helps our team be efficient. We no longer need to rely on Excel spreadsheets being passed from person to person via email. Furthermore, we aren't dealing with corrupt Excel spreadsheets and the need to salvage data when a file is accidentally altered.
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.
Airtable has fantastic usability. I personally am fair when it comes to most technologies off the bat. I can understand a lot after being taught but most take me a little when I am teaching myself. Airtable was EXTREMELY easy to use off the bat. It was easy to understand or quickly figure out answers to my questions if i ever felt confused. Someone who has little technological experience could figure out Airtable quite easily.
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.
I have rarely experience downtime, compared to other tools, and given how much time we spend on the tool. Even if there were to be, their updates on it are very timely, and our support team are able to provide any questions regarding
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.
I never had any issues with load time, even with the integrations that we use today (google sheets) However, I'm curious if adding additional layers of integrations would slow down performance. We do carry quite a bit of data in Airtable, but, again, no impact on overall performance
I understand that it's a beast and does a lot of things, which is probably why it's laggy. But I do find it takes longer than I'd like to load, and if I am sending a complex document to a client or team member they aren't quite sure if they're getting the right thing at first. This is actually a pretty significant problem - my biggest beef with ClickUp.
I haven't contacted customer support yet, so I wouldn't be able to give a fair response. We also use the free version of the app. They do have document files, which we have looked at to answer key questions. Because it looks like there are a lot of people that use airtable, we've been able to find a lot of resources online.
ClickUp support is incredible! They respond quickly with any questions about my issue, provide a timeline, and elaborate on how they will solve my problem. They are incredibly respectful and accommodating. Whenever I run into an issue, I know that ClickUp support will be happy to answer any questions and help my team out. When I start a support ticket, I know that I won't be getting sent article recommendations, I will be speaking to their customer support team immediately
Recorded trainings were provided by the Airtable team. Great as an evergreen resources to new team members and for anyone that wants to refresh their Airtable knowledge
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.
Training all users was an important part of the implementation, which did take considerable time and effort. At first glance without training, the content calendar can be overwhelming because of the amount of data. The features within Airtable seem to be endless but our team was able to identify the most important to be successful.
Using ClickUp is fairly easy. There are multiple guides on how to use all of the functions in the system. An organization wanting to start working with ClickUp should simply try it out and see how it would like to adapt its workflow to the possibilities the system gives the users.
Airtable exceeds all competitors I’ve seen. The feature set is full and only growing. The UI is intuitive for non-tech employees. Any competitors that match Airtable are really operating in a different space. Airtable is the industry leader in this category. Period.
They are all very similar, but ClickUp was easier to use. The UX design is great, everything falls into place. I didn’t have to train anyone from the team on how to use it. They easily understood how it works. It’s simple, clear and straightforward. Every move you make, it’s actually what you expect it to do.
There are TONS of opportunity to scale, but I think it's a matter if you have the time and resources to do so because the initial setup can be fairly time consuming and prioritized dedication
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.
The performance of the platform has been key to generate revenue and compensate for the investment we made at the beginning.
Since the results were good, we proceeded to continue using the software, and in this way we obtained a large amount of profits, increasing our ROI to 5.
ClickUp has had a positive impact since it has allowed the Global Operations Department to have a consistent collaboration by having this app as a repository of Projects and Programs, which has enabled a faster synchronization and stronger collaboration to better allocate resources.
A positive impact is a faster and clearer prioritization process for the executives since this app allows you to have a full picture of what's going on across the board.
