Spaces in ClickUp allow you to create tailored processes, all based on your team. Running a flash sale? Design an environment that features implementation of time options, stock timekeepers, and social analytics. The “Everything View” must be one of the smartest UI designs; they all place tasks, documents, and even KPIs in a single list scrollable by default.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The learning curve isn't steep. Despite the fact, I found myself still learning about features hidden in submenus even after half a year. Also, notifications can overwhelm: Of course, there are notifications like “Task updated!” “Comment added!” or “Someone breathed near your project!” Switching them off is as exhilarating as a bomb disposal man disarming a dangerous explosive device.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I even tried ClickUp for a Black Friday last year when we had 200 tasks, 15 collaborators, and about zero amount of sanity left. However, when the CMO suddenly requested a promo video the night before the deadline, ClickUp's dependency notifications reminded me that we didn't have enough time before the site would go live. However, one thing that I still remember and won't forgive was when it somehow managed to synchronize 50 similar tasks.

I'd like the ability to set dates by using a duration field (which doesn't exist as far as I know). Also, SSO is extremely important and ClickUp could further separate itself from competitors by including Microsoft SSO WITHOUT requiring an Enterprise license, which is practically 2x the cost per seat for the next level down.

You'd better have a solid work management philosophy in place before you implement ClickUp on a larger scale, because its incredible flexibility and ease of customization could be overwhelming.
