ClickUp has long sold itself as “one app to replace them all.” That promise works for small teams. But as organizations grow, many find ClickUp’s complexity overwhelming and its performance lagging.
Frequent interface changes have removed familiar features and frustrated users.
Enter monday.com. It’s growing fast in CRM and work management. The platform focuses on a clean interface and steady performance, and it earns high scores for ease of use and support.
In this post, we explore why migrations are rising, what to consider before moving, and how OrangeDot ensures a smooth transition.
ClickUp’s ambition has become both its strength and its weakness. Users appreciate the breadth of features, yet many report that the customizability can be overwhelming and the app can be slow. Recent updates have removed key functions, leading some customers to ask for the old version back
As organizations scale, they often find:
For small teams that live in task lists, ClickUp works well. But for companies managing complex pipelines, CRMs, or cross-functional operations — it often creates more noise than clarity.
The result? More operations leaders searching for platforms that prioritize structure, speed, and scalability over “all-in-one” promises.
monday.com takes a different approach: flexibility without chaos.
Where ClickUp tries to be everything, monday.com focuses on being a connected operating system — one that scales from marketing tasks to enterprise-grade CRMs.
Here’s how it compares on the pain points above:
monday.com’s Work OS earns high marks for reliability and speed. It’s built by a publicly traded company that emphasizes stability. ClickUp, in contrast, can be slow under heavy loads.
monday.com’s visual interface is intuitive, earning a 9.1/10 ease-of-use score. Teams can set up boards without an admin cleaning up later. ClickUp’s deep customization often creates a steep learning curve.
monday.com offers customizable dashboards, 36+ columns, and over 217 apps. Leaders get real-time insights without manual exports. ClickUp has dashboards, but the sheer number of views can overwhelm new users.
Monday offers 24/7 support and a quality-of-support rating of 9.0/10. Users rave about quick onboarding. ClickUp’s automation builder is less intuitive, and some users struggle with missing live support.
A successful migration isn’t about dragging data from one app to another. It’s about rebuilding your system intentionally — around the way your team actually works.
Here’s what to plan for:
The best migrations turn frustration into an opportunity to optimize.
