Featured Reviews

Yasser_Anter - PeerSpot reviewer
Integrates team collaboration but lacks automated data entry and advanced vendor integration
There is room for improvement in integrating Asana with different technology vendors. The reporting and exportation of project results need enhancement. The interface has drawbacks, such as the requirement of manual input of personal data into project forms. Overall, the application form should automatically populate user data like email address and phone number.
Subodh Ghuge - PeerSpot reviewer
A desktop-based application, allowing the creation of multiple flows, but should provide a mobile version
It is a versatile tool suitable for various tasks, including process modeling. It is flexible when saving multiple formats, not just XML. It provides this offering, unlike other platforms like Cloud.io or SIP Chart. Additionally, it is a desktop-based application, allowing for the creation of multiple flows that can be easily accessed and edited. In contrast, other platforms like Product.io may have limitations, such as the inability to reopen previously built flows once logged off, necessitating a rebuild each time.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The general UI shows progress and data analytics for all projects in progress."
"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."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It was just a few clicks to get started and to integrate Asana into our existing business system. It took 15 days to fully implement our projects using Asana."
"I find the interface of Asana easy to interact with."
"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 has helped our departments maintain visibility."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Asana is the ease of navigation."
"Integrations with so many other tools make this platform highly useful."
"Online Collaboration made it easy to brainstorm."
"The product's initial setup phase is simple and straightforward."
"As a consultant managing multiple projects, I find Miro's collaboration features highly beneficial."
"Miro's flexibility is a main feature. It provides boards where I can put whatever is needed without limits."
"The solution's UI is very user-friendly, and it is not that hard to define the shapes you are looking for or to import them."
"Miro significantly enhances brainstorming sessions."
"It is a versatile tool suitable for various tasks, including process modeling."
 

Cons

"The product must reduce the information on the interface."
"It would be beneficial to have a native option for Asana to create tickets so we could move away from our main ticketing tool."
"The documentation for integration could be improved. We require more information to facilitate the integrations."
"The main dashboard, where there is a list, needs improvement."
"The inbox feature can be a little overwhelming if you are working with Asana just from its project boards and only checking it periodically."
"You need to have an action plan, otherwise, it won't be as effective."
"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."
"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."
"When I imported an image to Miro, my friend saw it differently from what I saw when I changed the size of it."
"The product subscription is very expensive. The pricing could be better."
"I would like to see enhancements in Miro, especially when working with tables like Excel."
"Maybe at some point, Miro should be able to use AI to provide analysis from the brainstorming sessions or files fed into it."
"I don't see the need to have updates in the product every other month or every other day."
"The text customization inside objects needs some enhancement, especially for the text written in rectangle shapes."
"The solution could be available on mobile."
"It should have a desktop version."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price-wise, I think it's an affordable option for mid to large-sized companies."
"It has a free version."
"This solution is reasonably priced."
"There is a free version of Asana, but we use the paid version to receive all the features we want. The overall price is reasonable."
"I can describe Asana's pricing as a sweet spot since it is neither very high nor very low, especially regarding the value Asana adds to its products...In our company, we use 50 percent of the features provided by Asana, because of which we only pay 50 percent of Asana's total cost."
"Its price is fair. Its licensing cost is cheaper than Microsoft Project. I would rate it a two out of five in terms of pricing."
"The cost is $25 US per unit per month."
"We paid a monthly licensing fee for the product."
"The product costs approximately $300 per user."
"The initial cost of Miro was a bit high for me as a small company. However, considering its many benefits and the number of projects I have, it's reasonable and worth the investment."
"The product's price is low. Monthly and yearly subscriptions are available when it comes to the licensing part of the product."
