Full Review
ClickUp pitches itself as the 'one app to replace them all,' bundling tasks, docs, whiteboards, and dashboards under a single, highly configurable umbrella Everhour.
Teams can switch between List, Kanban, Gantt, and Mind-Map views without losing underlying data.
Reviewers praise the depth of customization—custom fields, statuses, and 50+ dashboard widgets—yet both Everhour and Connecteam note that power comes at the cost of complexity and a noticeable learning curve Connecteam.
If you're willing to invest in onboarding (and perhaps bump to the Business plan for advanced automations), ClickUp can consolidate a half-dozen siloed tools into one workspace.
