1. Task management
One of the core capabilities of both ClickUp and monday.com is the ability to create, assign, and manage tasks. Here’s how users feel about this feature.
User reviews for ClickUp
“ClickUp is the best task manager I’ve used. In the past I’ve used Asana, Todoist, and Trello. ClickUp takes all the best features of these apps and integrates them into one.”
— Jaden B., digital marketer | Capterra review
“I think the task tracking process could be better […] sometimes the UI gets a bit confusing for certain people in the company and doesn’t let them know what tasks were assigned to them.”
— Felipe S., regional coordinator | G2 review
User reviews for monday.com
“I also like the fact that it has the ability to create and organize tasks, creating to-do lists and reports that help me understand and keep track of my own progress and my team’s progress simultaneously.”
— Juliana A., CEO | Capterra review
“It’s easy for the system to become crowded if no one updates their tasks.”
— Sarah J., system engineer | Capterra review
2. Automation
Both ClickUp and monday.com have automation capabilities that trigger actions to occur once certain conditions are met — without human intervention.
User reviews for ClickUp
“ClickUp is helping me better manage my client work, unify my internal processes, and plan my agency’s growth. […] it offers a robust automation system, which can save you hours every week on its own.”
— Jacek P., marketing consultant | G2 review
“Overall the app is excellent, but from time to time, it takes a couple of minutes before the automation activates. We drag a task from one part to the next, and before I see the next things happen, I have time to set a coffee. It’s not a big problem because it’s not every single time, but sometimes it can be inconvenient when dragging around many tasks.”
— Duncan B., software developer | G2 review
User reviews for monday.com
“The automation makes it so that as the work item progresses and updates are made, the team next expected to take over also sees these changes and has updates on their own boards as well. This has made balancing work a lot easier.”
— Zuwayr W., technical content engineer | G2 review
“What I dislike about monday.com is that certain forms of automation could be more user-friendly and restrictive.”
— Tomas G., sales | G2 review
3. Mobile app
Both ClickUp and monday.com have dedicated mobile apps, but do they hold a candle to their desktop versions?
User reviews for ClickUp
“The mobile version is seamless when using both a mobile and desktop. It is fantastic. The mobile version did everything I needed it to and most things are right where they needed to be for easy access.”
— Jarrod L., manager | Capterra review
“While the ClickUp mobile app is functional, it may not have all the features available on the desktop version.”
— Raksha S., business operations analyst | Capterra review
User reviews for monday.com
“The mobile app is also very easy to use and helps keep you up to date while on the move [but it] could be easier to use as you aren’t allowed to filter anything or make any real changes to any boards or dashboards.”
— Alexander B., director of marketing | G2 review
“There are some critical features missing in [the] mobile app, such as checklists and form submission.”
— George E., IT project manager | Capterra review
