We performed a comparison between Asana and Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Project Portfolio Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The initial setup was straightforward."
"Asana is a very simple interface for project managers to figure out, providing all the functions they need."
"The solution appears to be quite stable."
"The solution's user interface is very good."
"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."
"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."
"I love the way it monitors all of the current and past projects, and it sends notifications to keep everything on the track."
"The general UI shows progress and data analytics for all projects in progress."
"The ability to streamline the process of obtaining signatures from our contractors is valuable."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management is accuracy."
"Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management is a well-engineered product from an IT perspective."
"I like Primavera's planning capabilities."
"The solution's tech support is good."
"It would be great if Asana could create a library for each project within the interface."
"We tried, but we haven't been successful with it. If people don't have the training, it is not easy to use. You need to make sure that the people are trained to use the system. They can provide more resources in the form of webcasts and videos that people can use to train themselves and understand how to use it."
"For large teams, scalability should be improved."
"The inbox feature can be a little overwhelming if you are working with Asana just from its project boards and only checking it periodically."
"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."
"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."
"I rate the support from Asana a four out of five."
"It's difficult to have short-term collaborations with external users because the operations team owns the final licenses, and I work for marketing."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"The solution's user interface is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."
"Primavera could be better integrated with other products, and it needs more cost management features."
"The reporting could improve project management. We need multiple source reports. If someone is new to the support it has a steep learning curve."
"They should work on integrating the solution with ERP."
