Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I love the way it monitors all of the current and past projects, and it sends notifications to keep everything on the track.""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.""I like how easy it is to use the rules within Asana.""By using this software, I have adaptability in my work, and it can improve the production of our company.""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.""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."

"K2's best feature is that it can solve complex tasks, issues, and projects with little coding.""Valuable features include workflows (escalation, reminder, LazyApproval, actions, etc.) and ease of use.""It is very easy to use events. K2 has useful tools.""With an extensive list of integrations with LOB data, your workflows can extend far beyond SharePoint, driving adoption of SharePoint.""It creates workflows to handle business processes. It allows us to route approvals to users without human intervention.""I really like the visual representation. It actually looks like a flow chart, which is nicer than a SharePoint Designer workflow, which doesn't have that ability.""It has a lot of features for creating and managing workflows, as well as for integrating with other applications. Nintex offers features, particularly to ensure a user-friendly experience.""Allows to use workflow for simple approvals and LazyApproval. The feature is easy to implement for mobile approval."

Cons
"We have not used Asana on our private server. We have been using the cloud solution. We need an on premise solution for government agencies.""You need to have an action plan, otherwise, it won't be as effective.""The product must reduce the information on the interface.""The product's page is not user-friendly.""The documentation for integration could be improved. We require more information to facilitate the integrations.""I rate the support from Asana a four out of five.""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 don't get enough notifications."

More Asana Cons →

"User interface could use some improvement. Perhaps integration with Visual Studio or SharePoint Designer would be useful.""Hawkeye is emerging as a reporting solution, but as a V1 product it’s not very useful yet.""Difficult to include external partners with the solution deployed on-premise.""The solution is a bit too expensive. It could be cheaper.""The product’s support for the mobile platform and its ability to handle artificial loads could be better.""​Bring all features available from the on-premise product into the cloud version and the workflow error reporting.​""While Nintex Workflow has pretty robust troubleshooting abilities, I think that improving the default logging and notifications would be helpful.""Currently, it's taking quite some time to deploy a package, it needs improvement"

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The price of this solution makes it quite accessible, and the plans fit my budget."
  • "Asana has two different types of structures: company vs workspace. Company is really best if all the users you plan to assign work to are all internal (have the same corporate domain in their user ID email address). Once one person signs up (even for a free account) with a corporate email address, Asana will automatically relate that person to that company, if it already exists. If you plan to use it for external collaboration as well as internal, then creating a workspace is a better approach."
  • "It has a free version."
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "For what it brings to the table, I think Asana is fairly affordable. I would like to see the portfolio feature in our pricing plan, but other than that, it's definitely pretty good."
  • "We're on the business tier, which is $25 a month if you're on an annual contract. It's $31 if you're on a month-to-month contract. In my experience, there are no hidden costs with Asana. I know Smartsheet has these add-ons that you can buy, which is an additional cost, but Asana doesn't have any add-ons that I know of. When you're trying to scale the product and want to add users, you have to do it in buckets of five. This is also something to consider."
  • "This solution is reasonably priced."

  • "Nintex products are expensive, but valuable. Licensing in on-premise was historically based on a perpetual model, where you’d license per Web front-end. However, they are switching exclusively to a consumption (subscription) model, where you purchase the number of workflows you think you’ll use in your environment, and can scale up from there."
  • "Offering a licensing model that allows for multiple small workflows would be a huge improvement to an already great platform."
  • "Our maintenance costs are reduced."
  • "The annual support costs are expensive."
  • "Comparatively, it's expensive."
  • "We pay on a yearly basis. It's my understanding that we pay approximately $11,000/year."
  • "The initial investment in K2 is heavy. Currently, the expenditure is $28,000 for a year. After we go to the cloud, it is going to be per seat and probably cheaper. Currently, there are unlimited users."
  • "There is an initial fee when purchasing and a fee for maintenance afterward."
