There are quite a few tools in this space and they all offer access to clients in different ways. To take a step back, your options for communicating on projects with clients are:
Email
Phone
Chat
Weekly Reports
Branded customer portal
Access to your PM tool
Access to a live project document
Automated emails based on stages
Concentrating on the last four options:
a client portal works well for giving updates, notes and giving access to files, all in one place.
access to your PM tool is convenient but you do need to factor in permissions of what they can see + training requirements for the client. Interestingly, clients can sometimes stay around for longer if they’ve trained their whole team on using your system.
access to a live project document is where you provide an online document that you update during the project. A simple solution if done well.
automated update emails is a feature on a handful of PM software tools that is handy for higher-volume project updates.
