Find out what your peers are saying about monday.com, Microsoft, Asana and others in Project Management Software."Asana has significantly reduced the number of emails we exchange because we can access the project directly. It organizes all the tasks related to each project, assigns them to staff with due dates, and tracks 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."
"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."
"Asana provides a lot of options and a lot of customization to give the best efficient way for your business to operate. For example, I can customize my tasks, tables, and pipelines the way I want them to fit my business model. It's easy and highly customizable."
"Asana has a wonderful user experience that is very easy to interact with and has tons of integrations with other products and tools."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its project management tracking systems."
"By using this software, I have adaptability in my work, and it can improve the production of our company."
"The ease of use is valuable."
"The ability to network informally is great for communicating with colleagues."
"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."
"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'd like the capability to be able to set up weekly reminders."
"You need to have an action plan, otherwise, it won't be as effective."
"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."
"Some customizations and functions are still not available, however, so far, they haven't been a deal killer."
"The solution can be difficult for new users to use because of the interface."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"The product isn't easy to use. It's not very intuitive."
