What do users generally not like about ClickUp?
Complexity: ClickUp is a feature-rich tool with a wide range of functionalities. For users who prefer simpler and more straightforward tools, the extensive options and configurations in ClickUp may feel overwhelming or confusing.
Learning curve: Due to its rich feature set, ClickUp has a steep learning curve. Understanding all the features and functionalities requires significant time and effort, and not all users (especially smaller teams) may be willing or able to invest that much time into learning the tool.
Performance and Speed: Some users have reported performance issues and delays when using ClickUp, especially when working with larger projects or teams. Slow load times or unresponsive behavior impacts user experience and, most important, productivity.

However, some users have expressed dissatisfaction with the pricing structure, feeling that certain essential features are locked behind higher-priced plans, making it less affordable or less accessible for smaller teams.

Hello Ivy vs. ClickUp
What features make Hello Ivy better than ClickUp?
Hello Ivy and Clickup are fairly similar when it comes to managing projects. Both project management tools allow you to manage your tasks, files, projects and team communication. However, Clickup offers more functionality which is an advantage and disadvantage at the same time because this also makes Clickup much more complicated and therefore harder to use. Many of the functionalities small to medium sized team will never use or need. Hello Ivy on the other hand covers all the basis while having a clean UX and barely any learning curve.
Clickup is a great tool large teams and big companies that require all the bells and whistles, customization options and integrations. However, this also makes the software complex and harder to use. If you're looking for a simpler project management tool that is powerful, easy to use and has a clean interface, then Hello Ivy is the way to go.
