Find out in this report how the two Project Portfolio Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The dashboard is the most valuable feature."
"The solution appears to be quite stable."
"It’s a great way to communicate plans and progress across the business and is flexible about how much detail I include and how I present it."
"The only thing I love about the product is that it is beautiful."
"Asana, despite its compact size, proves to be incredibly valuable. When initiating a project, it offers the ability to generate a personalized form for clients. In this particular context, my clients include the customer success team and solution architects. This feature allows me to provide them with a convenient means to submit their requests, resembling a ticketing system geared towards internal operations. Moreover, it enables efficient allocation within my team. For instance, if a question pertains to customer success, I can assign it to the CSOps manager and the team. Similarly, if it relates to a specific channel, it can be allocated accordingly."
"The ability to share projects and tasks among team members appears to be the most valuable feature."
"It has helped our departments maintain visibility."
"The most valuable feature of Asana is the tracking of comments and documents in one place."
"Asana has helped me (as an individual contributor) organize my daily work and given me a way to plan for longer term objectives."
"The user-experience, enhanced performance, and in-hand governance can be improved."
"The mobile application of Asana has to be improved a lot because no one wants to do a complete project management task on mobile."
"The product's page is not user-friendly."
"In Asana, there's no way to add a custom date field."
"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."
"We tried, but we haven't been successful with it. If people don't have the training, it is not easy to use. You need to make sure that the people are trained to use the system. They can provide more resources in the form of webcasts and videos that people can use to train themselves and understand how to use it."
"On the development side for technical project management, Asana is missing features. We only use it for discussing tasks and strategies, and we use it for customer to-do lists. It doesn't have the source code integration that Jira and Jira Service Desk both have."
"It's hard to integrate Asana into other parts of the company workflow, so integration is an area for improvement."
"The messaging feature could be better."
