Chose Atlassian Jira
Atlassian Jira is like an old person trying to look young. In the last couple of years it started succeeding somewhat but I'd still pick something from the alternatives if starting a new project.
Chose Atlassian Jira
Great UI/UX, easy to use and great filters than the product we were using before.
Chose Atlassian Jira
Jira [Software] [has] lot of [similar features to Pivotal Tracker].
Many apps are easily integrated with Jira [Software].

offers the same service but a lot more other functionality and is easier to use.
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 has the best UX by far. It also has the most necessary features and the fewest unnecessary features.
Chose ClickUp
- Data centralization
- Fast and clean
- Easy to manage
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 …

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
Firstly, due to price. Also, each of the tools is more suited for a different market, while ClickUp is diverse and customizable enough so that we can all use the same tool. Onboarding on Asana was much easier, for personal tasks it's a more user friendly tool.
Chose ClickUp
ClickUp is easy to setup and build environment that is friendly to even a new user.
Chose ClickUp
Jira is really good and maybe it works better in big projects. But for a department that serves multiple customers at the same time, ClickUp stands out. monday.com seems difficult and complicated to use.
Chose ClickUp
It's better looking, has keyboard shortcuts, more human-friendly settings, is more cost-effective, has built-in documents, and offers better search.
Chose ClickUp
I guess the UI UX is best in ClickUp, easy to find things you need, and has the flexibility to customize the dashboard as you want. Moreover, it is a good product in terms of investment than the other products in the market and also has good support for developers.
Chose ClickUp
They all are in one place, ClickUp. The cost-benefit analysis pointed out that ClickUp would be able to drive an improvement in the department and teams' collaboration at a lower cost.
Chose ClickUp
ClickUp's value for the cost is a lot higher for our company. It is intuitive to use, and the configurability is unmatched by its competitors.
The sleek look and feel makes this product enjoyable to work with, and ClickUp balances simplicity in design with complexity in the …
Chose ClickUp
Jira: More robust, feels like a dinosaur. It's a lot harder to configure; it's more stable, but it feels VERY painful to use for less tech-savvy developers. Artists HATED it with passion. Producers and scrum masters always like Jira better, but devs hated it. Clickup: Polished, …
Chose ClickUp
ClickUp has an impressive UI, Better management of sprint board. It is easy to learn and any user can easily learn how to use it. It is easy to navigate and it can be integrated with email - Outlook , CI/CD tools like Github etc
Chose ClickUp
Documentation is almost as good as guru - guru is faster to search within. Jira is more stable, but it's a lot more clunky, so ClickUp is the easiest to use tool for this specific reason. Monday is worse in every single aspect. The only downside for ClickUp is that it could …
Chose ClickUp
We have used clickup over Jira beacuse we have documented all the domain details as per topic and it was easy to manage in the clickup. Also, we are able to manage milestones in clickup very easily. UI for labels is far better in clickup then Jira. That's why we used clickup …

Jira facilitates software development, bug tracking, and sprints. It's ideal for structured workflows, issue management, and customer communication. However, more straightforward tools might be more efficient for highly creative, unstructured tasks or tiny, agile teams with quick visual overviews. Jira's complexity can be overkill for basic task lists.

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.

This is because Jira Software generates a huge profit for an affordable price. Having a tool that makes team management transparent and effective is very valuable.
In addition, the renewal of Jira Software and all Atlassian tools is predictable and clear, as the prices are published on the Atlassian website and there is no pyramid of intermediaries.

It has been a game-changer in terms of project tracking, as animation is a demanding product that requires multiple layers of analysis, revisions, tracking, scheduling, etc. ClickUp simplifies many approvals as anyone can easily add items, and you can tag the people who need to look at them.

Usability
Atlassian
The interface is simple and easy to use if you have some experience with it. Configuration is also logical most of the time. However, less experienced users tend to find themselves lost in some tasks - usually complex project configuration- but sometimes simple things, such as seeing why a user can't move issues in a workflow. Jira configuration requires a good amount of experience - and even experienced users often resort to documentation. It's a tool that's easy to use if you know what you're doing and where to find the proper documentation, but novice users tend to find it challenging.

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.

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.

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.

Support Rating
Atlassian
I have not had a chance to contact JIRA's customer support. It does offer extensive documentation, although it often feels too technical for me. There is also a JIRA training app that lets you take little lessons and quizzes on different areas (e.g., JIRA basics, agile). I did find it a helpful way to teach myself.

I started using ClickUp when it was what most would consider a baby company. There were the occasional bugs that made working in ClickUp a little bit of a headache, but the support feature allowed me to chat with a real persona and communicate my issues. I would always get prompt support and someone willing to really help me, not just point me to FAQ pages. Not feeling like a number really makes a difference.

One of their strong points i stheir documentation. Almost all of the basic set up needed within JIRA is available online through atlassian and its easy to find and very precise. The more critical issues need to be addressed as well and hence the rating of 8 instead of a 9.

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.

Take your time implementing Jira. Make sure you understand how you want to handle your projects and workflows. Investing more time in the implementation can pay off in a long run. It basically took us 5 days to define and implement correctly, but that meant smooth sailing later on.

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.

monday.com cannot be integrated with CI/CD tools, whereas Atlassian Jira integrates with CI/CD tools seamlessly. Atlassian Jira has strong Agile and Scrum support. Coming to monday.com, it has basic agile functionality. But Atlassian Jira has a complex UI, and monday.com has an intuitive, drag-and-drop interface. Overall, Atlassian Jira provides features like Agile project management, DevOps integration, and customizable workflows.

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 Karbon, and tasks and questions are more searchable cross team, causing more time saved and less time reaching out to ask for an update. All Apps have their individual strengths, but ClickUp has it all live together in one space, making it easier overall for searching and updating items internally as a team.
