Central hub has unified cross‑department tasks and provides clear ownership and communication
The best features Asana offers, once you become familiar with the system, include clarity in view and tracking of questions. For instance, if information is requested from legal and they respond, a record is maintained to track all comments and keep everyone updated. Having that clear view and record of communication helps the team day to day by allowing management and staff to see current statuses and responsibilities. It clarifies whose responsibility it is and identifies any hold-ups with legal or engineering tasks, which keeps the organization organized. Asana has positively impacted the organization by providing clarity for everyone, allowing visibility into who is working on what, from the VP of Operations down to maintenance, ensuring necessary parts are available. It functions as a clearinghouse for all information. Collaboration has greatly improved with Asana. There is no longer a need to chase down accounting or engineering for project updates because information can be checked through comments. File attachment and messaging capabilities between different groups within Asana are helpful. Email notifications are received for updates relevant to tasks, combining Asana alerts with email for easy visibility. The interface and notifications in Asana are appreciated because it integrates with email. Updates can be received even when not logged in, which keeps you informed. Initially, it takes some time to understand the various details, but after extensive use, it feels second nature. Overall, satisfaction with Asana is high.

Centralized visual workflows have boosted automation and brand control but still need better dev tooling
While Canva Enterprise is a powerhouse, there are specific areas where it could be improved. Currently, Canva provides an Open API specification, but it does not maintain official first-party client libraries for languages like Java or Python. Developers have to use tools like Open API generator to create their own clients. This adds overhead in managing dependencies and ensuring the generated code handles Canva's specific authentication. Canva could release a first-party Java SDK with better support for Maven and Gradle, including built-in retry logic. Another area for improvement is versioning. For developers, versioning usually means a clear history of changes. However, Canva has basic version history that is linear and lacks the branching and merging logic needed for complex projects. Design as Code features could be implemented where templates could be exported as JSON and modified in an integrated development environment. This would allow developers to manage design templates in the same continuous integration and continuous deployment pipeline as their application code. Additionally, Canva currently provides notifications when a design is exported. However, developers need more granular triggers such as comment added, approval rejected, or brand kit element updated. Canva could expand the webhook suite to cover every administrative and creative action, which would allow much tighter integrations with Jira, Slack, or custom internal dashboards.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Asana's most valuable aspect is its ability to consolidate all tasks and projects onto a single board, allowing for seamless navigation through timelines from start to finish. Additionally, it enables the inclusion of key stakeholders and provides a private communication channel for discreet discussions. The organizational component of Asana is particularly beneficial, including its coding features."
"I use Asana daily to keep track of projects and tasks for myself and my team."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"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."
"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."
"While it was difficult to use in the beginning, it is now working great and giving wonderful results."
"The structure of organizing tasks is ideal for me and it's far more intuitive than other project management tools I've used, like Basecamp."
"The ability to share projects and tasks among team members appears to be the most valuable feature."
"For others looking into using Canva Enterprise, if marketing is involved at all, it is a 100% must-have tool."
"Canva Enterprise has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to easily create graphics, images, and documents, improving team collaboration and dropping our design costs, which are specific outcomes we have noticed."
"Canva Enterprise has positively impacted my organization in that it definitely saves time; because we are in a creative field, we need to create more creatives every week, so this saves our time."
"Canva Enterprise helps people create content to send a good portfolio and a good curriculum to the place they want to work."
"Canva Enterprise has positively impacted my organization as our Canva Enterprise account has multiple sharing capabilities."
"We are now able to work 30 to 40% faster than before we implemented Canva Enterprise."
"Canva Enterprise has positively impacted my organization by improving team collaboration and productivity."
"There are tools and templates for numerous design types and formats, and plenty of fonts and graphics to choose from."
 

Cons

"Auto-shift is an essential feature for planning, but it's currently not there. It should have this feature so that when you move a task that depends on another task, the dates should be auto-shifted. For example, you have two tasks dependent on each other. When the parent task is moved or delayed, the child task should also be delayed, and the date should be shifted. When we have a very long timeline, it's very complex to go task by task and shift the dates on the task. Auto-shift is a fantastic and basic feature of project management, and having such a feature in Asana would make our lives much easier. If Asana added this feature, it would complete the suit and close the project management cycle because currently, there is a gap."
"Having a quick way to do video inside the platform or video communication could be very handy."
"It's hard to integrate Asana into other parts of the company workflow, so integration is an area for improvement."
"A rating of eight is given because a downside exists in that everyone has access and notifications are often received for projects that are not involved in, leading to quite a few emails daily, sometimes around sixty to eighty."
"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."
"The onboarding process has been a little bit slow, just getting everybody to use it and moving away from our old habits."
"The product's page is not user-friendly."
"There could be some improvements in terms of how projects or day-to-day work is organized. One of the challenges when it comes to rolling out to an enterprise is the way the projects are organized. It has a kind of setup where you have different projects and tasks, but it is not as organized as Smartsheet when it comes to organizing projects or different teams. It can get really cluttered really fast. JIRA has another suite to submit the support tickets. It would be good if Asana could branch out to incorporate some kind of workflow. It is great for collaboration and recording work, but there isn't any workflow. It would be useful if they can map out a workflow of who approves what. This is kind of a big ask, and it is not geared towards that."
"There are many features that are available only in the pro version or are restricted to advanced plan features, which can be costly."
"I think Canva Enterprise can be improved because currently, it is not as powerful as other tools such as Photoshop and Illustrator."
"For advanced, complex designs that need to be created, Canva Enterprise is not capable of handling them, which is something that needs to be improved."
"The video editing prompt, the artificial intelligence prompt that Canva has provided, is a feature that I think could be improved, especially regarding text-to-video generation, which I am looking forward to."
"Like some other tools, Canva should introduce an AI writing assistant tool on their platform."
"Canva Enterprise is heavy software."
"Canva Enterprise needs more features similar to Adobe to improve."
"Canva Enterprise currently has limited features and is not as powerful as Photoshop or Illustrator."
