We performed a comparison between Asana and Microsoft Azure DevOps based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about monday.com, Microsoft, Asana and others in Project Management Software."The most valuable feature of Asana is the ease of navigation."
"It's an easy way to communicate."
"The solution's user interface is very good."
"The general UI shows progress and data analytics for all projects in progress."
"The ability to build subtasks and break things down off of our major tasks has been very valuable. It is very stable and extremely scalable. The initial setup is very simple."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"What I like the most about Asana is its API integrations because we use a lot of cluttered toolsets in our company since we need to cater to different clients, for which its integration gives us a lot of flexibility."
"It is stable and easy to set up."
"DevOps is easy to use because we can arrange each task in a project and follow up with the testing, development, and business teams. We manage everything through this."
"I really like the Microsoft DevOps survey."
"It's got something that you won't find in other products."
"This platform provides a large span of tools and technologies."
"Our technical sales staff and business development people need to know how far the developers are on any product that we're developing. DevOps makes it easier for you to see how far along they are with the work because they have a repository where they store everything. There is a portal where you can see what has been done, what has been tested, what is working, and what isn't. I have a huge dashboard with an overview of what the development team is doing from an executive point of view."
"Two of the most valuable features include the integrated project management suite, which consolidates source code and project management in a single location, and its powerful reporting capabilities."
"Microsoft has good integration with its other products, such as Office, Teams, et cetera."
"Azure is an advantage when working with other Microsoft solutions."
"It's hard to integrate Asana into other parts of the company workflow, so integration is an area for improvement."
"The mobile application of Asana has to be improved a lot because no one wants to do a complete project management task on mobile."
"More features can be added."
"In some instances, there were subtasks where more than one person needed to review it, but I could only assign it to one person. I would have to create a subtask under a subtask and then assign it to other people. This could be improved."
"This solution has a learning curve, where it is initially difficult to use."
"We don't get enough notifications."
"It would be beneficial if Asana had a predecessor feature that automatically adjusts all subsequent dates when changes are made to a timeline. For example, if I assign a designer four hours for one task and two days for another, and the completion of a task takes longer than anticipated, it would be convenient if updating one date could prompt the adjustment of all other relevant dates. Essentially, this feature would streamline the process and eliminate the need for manual adjustments."
"The solution can be difficult for new users to use because of the interface."
"It is not that intuitive. Sometimes, it is hard to find some of the functions. I would like to have an old-fashioned menu structure to be able to easily find things. Its environment setup is not very good. They should improve the way it is set up for different screens and make it easier to find functionalities and maintain team members."
"I can't think of anything I would like to improve, since I don't have complete knowledge of the platform yet. I'm sure that as I gain more experience, I will understand it better. The price could maybe be cheaper, but I'm sure I'll have more ideas as to improvements and additional features once I've used it more."
"Its price can also be reduced. It would be great if they are a little bit more competitive in terms of pricing because many open-source products are currently available in the market."
"The solution can improve by adding integration with on-premise tools. The only built-in repository options are GitHub and DevOps."
"I would like to see a bit more project tracking."
"It should be easier to manage Licenses especially because it's in the cloud."
"Reporting could be better. We would like to see how many applications are onboarded in DevOps and in which phase they are. We would like to know for how many applications we have done only the repository, but we have not yet done the build pipeline or deploy pipeline. Currently, there is no such report. We have to figure it out ourselves. There is no way to check how many applications are completing their build pipelines, how many applications are completing their deploy pipeline, how many are ready to use, and how many pipelines are working."
"It should be able to handle the different types. There is ecosystems engineering, and there is software applications engineering. There is a need to bring these teams together, but the disciplines don't integrate very well, and so it won't work."
