Cassandra I
Marketing Content Specialist
5.0

Cassandra: My name is Cassandra. I am a market content specialist at Bloom Growth, and our company is around 75 people big, and I would give ClickUp a five out of five. I've used a lot of different project management tools such as Asana, Trello, Monday, JIRA, and all of them pale in comparison. ClickUp really is superior and it's my project management tool of choice. The reasons that I choose ClickUp are kind of far and in between. I was one of the first adopters of ClickUp years ago and used it as a free user for a very long time and got so much value out of it. And as I changed jobs, I changed project management tools and nothing was as good as ClickUp. I would always tell my managers, "Hey, I know we're using this project management tool, but couldn't we maybe try ClickUp? You can try it for free, and then you'll fall in love and understand that you don't want to use the other tools." And the company that I'm with now, they did that and we're seeing great results because of it. The reason that I personally choose ClickUp not only for work, I use it in my personal life too. You can label things, you can categorize things. There's just so many different options to customize your project management. Gantt charts, lists, boards, different views, different colors. Just if you're a visual person and want to see your boards and lists and things to do in a different way, in a way that resonates with you, maybe your project is pink and all you're looking for is pink. You can do that with ClickUp and I really appreciate that. And the new tools, like the ClickUp Brain. Game changer, it helps my work so much, saves me time. And yeah, I think that's it. When I first started using ClickUp, it was essential that we managed all of our projects and I found it very simple to manage them through ClickUp. It was intuitive and easy to use. It was easy to customize things to what I needed to do. At the time, I was using spreadsheets to use data entry points, and all I would have to do is update the CSV and upload that to ClickUp. And all of my tasks magically got there and it just made my workflow so much easier. And as a manager at the time, it was really easy to teach to my incoming employees and just show them how simple it was to use. So from day one, it was just, "We use ClickUp, this is how you use it."There were hardly ever any questions. And if there were the support was there. I would hop into the chat and somebody would be with me really quickly, which kind of blew my mind because you don't usually get that. But ClickUp has been at the top of the game, in my opinion, since the beginning and since I started using it. If you're considering using ClickUp for your company, I'd say go ahead and do it. Don't wait. You'll be happy that you did. There are so many project management tools out there that will promise you productivity because of their project management platform. I've used a lot of them, and ClickUp is the one I always come back to. It's like it's home.
