Find out what your peers are saying about monday.com, Microsoft, Asana and others in Project Management Software."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."
"This solution is easier and faster to use compared to Jira. It's not very structured and you can add sub-tasks and issues easily."
"It is pretty comprehensive when it comes to the different views that it gives you. It gives you a Gantt chart view, calendar view, board view, and list view. It is kind of helpful to have different types of views and see how it views your different tasks. I appreciate being able to do that. The biggest thing is that it is extremely user friendly. Asana is pretty intuitive. Someone who is not tech-savvy can kind of catch on quickly. It is better than other tools like Smartsheet. Some of the other tools like Microsoft Project and Excel are great tools, but you have to invest a lot of time to learn them, which is not the case with Asana."
"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."
"What I like most about Asana is its simplicity. For example: we're not the only ones using it, and we onboard our customers to it, and normally, they have no questions."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"I really enjoy the portfolios in Asana. One of the ways Asana stands out to me is with portfolios. You can have all your different projects, and you can have those assigned to different teams. If you want to customize a grouping of projects, you can use portfolios. For instance, one of the things that we do is we can assign a portfolio to a specific strategic objective we have, and we can put all those projects that are related to that strategic objective in that portfolio. We then know exactly what people are working on to help us achieve our goals. So, I really like portfolios."
"Asana has helped me (as an individual contributor) organize my daily work and given me a way to plan for longer term objectives."
"This is a scalable solution that supports thousands of users."
"A simple tool for developers to write and record team decisions explaining the product that they are creating."
"There is a good library of templates for a wide range of needs."
"I like the documentation. It's a central platform, and there are many things that I can do with it. I'm very pleased about it."
"It has a very intuitive user interface, which every user able to manage the basic functionality of a PC will be able to work with and produce quite satisfactory results."
"It's easy to search for information."
"The solution helped us to see where we were going wrong and where we were doing good, and that helped us to make proper decisions"
"I think that it is one of the best products on the market from my experience."
"You need to have an action plan, otherwise, it won't be as effective."
"The inbox feature can be a little overwhelming if you are working with Asana just from its project boards and only checking it periodically."
"It would be great if Asana could create a library for each project within the interface."
"Having a quick way to do video inside the platform or video communication could be very handy."
"There just needs to be a bit more direction on how to use it at the outset."
"This solution has a learning curve, where it is initially difficult to use."
"For large teams, scalability should be improved."
"If you have been using a tool like Jira for many years, it make time some time to get used to the minimalist layout in Asana."
"I have a couple of different pipelines that I work with. However, I'd like to see them displayed differently on the same dashboard. So, I would like to have a unified dashboard to view the different pipelines."
"RAM usage seems to be higher than it should be."
"The user interface could be improved."
"I would like Confluence to include the ability to draw flowcharts and diagrams."
"Space maintenance could be made a little more user-friendly."
"Confluence cannot replace Microsoft Word at the moment, so even though it can be used as a document management system, it is not meant for document creation, which adds a lot of limitations to it."
"Atlassian needs to provide the source editor or a built-in plugin."
"The solution is not very user-friendly."
