Asana or Clickup for task management

Until recently, IT Circle has used Asana for task management (and in particular for handling support requests) while Website Circle had been using Clickup for its own task and project management. Now that IT and Website Circles have been reorganized, we’re considering how to streamline and simplify this situation. Which of these systems do we want to focus on? What do we need to do to transition work from one of them to the other?

I suspect that we will decide to continue using Asana and deprecate Clickup. That said, I actually think that Clickup is a richer system, but perhaps one of the things that attracts us to Asana is that it is a simpler system. What do you think, @samara and @thomas.kemps?

For now I would like to use only the Support Kanban system and the IT Circle Kanban in Asana and then explore maybe using the forum as a ticketing system instead of going back to ClickUp. I prefer clickup to asana but that doesn’t mean I think ClickUp is the best, I feel like it’s been going south ever since they started implementing aggressive scheming so that you’d want to use their AI. And it may be too bloated for our needs, if we could do a simple ticketing and task assignment system right on the forum it would be waaay better than clickup.

Claude AI has this to say:

Who Should Choose Which?

Choose Asana if you…

  • Value simplicity and a polished UX

  • Have a team that resists complex tools

  • Are focused on task/project management (not an all-in-one platform)

  • Work in marketing, design, or operations with straightforward workflows

Choose ClickUp if you…

  • Want maximum features at lower cost

  • Need docs, time tracking, and goals in one place

  • Have a technical or adaptable team comfortable with configuration

  • Are a startup or small team trying to consolidate multiple tools

Bottom line: Asana is the better-crafted tool; ClickUp is the better-valued toolkit. The right choice depends on whether your team prioritizes ease and polish or depth and affordability.

Me personally, I used to use Asana years ago, but don’t use either now. Seems like Asana would get broader use. As a network we don’t have a lot of capacity for complexity.

This is just feedback. I do not expect to be a decider on this topic.
