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.

Efficient project planning with advanced impact and delay analysis features

You need to have a good understanding of project management before you build programs using P6. Learning the tool takes time, so you should spend hands-on time with it while developing your project management skills. It's a mix of hands-on work and project management skills. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Asana has helped me (as an individual contributor) organize my daily work and given me a way to plan for longer term objectives."

"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."

"The time we are investing through departments with Asana is valuable because we are receiving requests or updates for projects without investing time in meetings or writing emails."

"It is stable and easy to set up."

"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'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."

"The solution appears to be quite stable."

"It has helped our departments maintain visibility."

More Asana pros

"It is very, very good in planning for large projects."

"The most valuable features were the cost breakdown structure and work breakdown structure."

"Delay analysis and extension of time claims are some of the key features."

"I like Primavera's planning capabilities."

"The most valuable features were the cost breakdown structure and work breakdown structure."

"The ability to streamline the process of obtaining signatures from our contractors is valuable."

"The solution's tech support is good."

"The most valuable feature of Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management is accuracy."

Cons

"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."

"The documentation could be enhanced by incorporating more visually informative videos that demonstrate how to accomplish specific tasks. While Asana's community support is valuable for answering questions, finding precise answers often requires sifting through multiple posts. Having concise and explanatory videos would greatly improve the user experience. When searching on platforms like Google, there are many individuals sharing their approaches to using Asana. However, the information provided is often not directly applicable to one's specific needs. Therefore, it would be advantageous to have comprehensive video tutorials that address common user queries. This would provide a more efficient and intuitive way of accessing information, especially when it comes to learning how to navigate and utilize Asana's features effectively."

"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."

"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 main dashboard, where there is a list, needs improvement."

"It's hard to integrate Asana into other parts of the company workflow, so integration is an area for improvement."

"Some customizations and functions are still not available, however, so far, they haven't been a deal killer."

More Asana cons

"There is scope for development in integrating with some AI products."

"The solution's user interface is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."

"There is a need for improvement in the interfacing and possibly better integration with other programs."

"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."

"There is a need for improvement in the interfacing and possibly better integration with other programs."

"The scalability has room for improvement."

"There is scope for development in integrating with some AI products."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"It has a free version."

"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."

"The solution's free version can be used for basic functions."

"This solution is reasonably priced."

"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."

"The price of this solution makes it quite accessible, and the plans fit my budget."

More Asana pricing and cost advice

"My company has made an annual payment towards the costs of the solution. Price-wise, the solution is okay."

"Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management is an expensive solution. There is an upfront cost to purchase the solution and then there are annual fees to use the solution."

"The solution itself is cost-effective."

"The solution is highly priced compared to one of its competitors."
