"One place to run every client, but it's heavy"

5/5

What do you like best about ClickUp?

ClickUp has made my life easier by providing a tool that helps me build overall systems for my companies. I work across several clients and my own brands, and each one gets its own space with lists, statuses and custom fields set up the way that business actually runs. For our D2C client, recurring work like the weekly founders' review, ad creative batches and Shopify fixes all lives in ClickUp, so the team can see who owns what and what's due without a status call. Being able to create and update tasks through the API and the Claude integration has also cut down a lot of manual entry for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ClickUp?

It gets heavy. I run it on an 8GB MacBook alongside ad managers, Shopify and a bunch of browser tabs, and the app can lag when I open a busy list or a big doc. There are also so many settings and views that setting up a new space for a client takes real time, and newer team members need a walkthrough before they're comfortable. A lighter mode or a simpler starting template for small teams would help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ClickUp solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before ClickUp, work for each client was spread across WhatsApp, email and spreadsheets, and a lot of it only lived in my head. Now every client and brand has one place where tasks, owners and deadlines sit. The biggest change is on recurring work: the weekly founders' review, creative batches and store fixes run on the same structure every week, so nothing slips when I'm juggling several accounts. I can hand tasks to the team with clear context and check progress without asking for updates, which frees up my time for the actual growth work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
