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.

A powerful tool for managing subscriptions within the organization
It's undoubtedly more complex compared to the initial part. It depends on the requirements. You can't categorically say that HubSpot is only suitable for smaller devices; it's adaptable to various needs. Depending on the requirements, you can have a project completed within as little as six months or as long as a few years. It's a flexible solution that can cater to your specific needs. However, it's essential to start from the beginning, designing the screens and pages within HubSpot. It's somewhat similar to building a website but generally more straightforward to use. You need to input the necessary information based on your specific requirements, and it's not limited to a predefined structure. The team initiates the process with what we term as solution design, but it's more appropriately labeled as enterprise design. This initial phase involves understanding the integration points with other systems and commencing the configuration process. It's essentially the starting point for our analysis. The analysis covers several aspects, including the language requirements, integration tools for interfacing with Java server solutions, and how to effectively use these tools. All these components must seamlessly complement each other. Once the team has everything in place and confirms the tools, they can proceed to elaborate on the specific requirements. The deployment timeline typically ranges from four to six months, specifically for straightforward or standard requirements. However, in the case of a large enterprise organization with numerous legal entities across different countries, each requiring unique interfaces for various purposes, the implementation duration is highly dependent on the specific requirements. It's not feasible to provide a fixed period for such a solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Asana has significantly reduced the number of emails we exchange because we can access the project directly. It organizes all the tasks related to each project, assigns them to staff with due dates, and tracks progress."
"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."
"It is very good for managing the timeline. I'm a quality manager, and I have different testing projects running with different work breakdown structures. Asana makes it very easy to implement and monitor the plans. It is easy to move the tasks and complete them, break them down, and assign them to people."
"I would recommend Asana to others."
"Asana has impacted my organization positively by being very useful for product management and task management."
"Since we embedded this product in our work flow it allowed us to cut tasks just from the characterization process to the immediate scopes."
"While it was difficult to use in the beginning, it is now working great and giving wonderful results."
"I would highly recommend Asana as I think it's a great tool."
"It connects to SAP C4C (Cloud for Customer) and is a very useful collaboration tool for the sales, services, and marketing teams."
"One notable feature is the "improvement training," which allows you to define groups, facilitate information sharing, enable participant rating, and establish rankings. This enables you to identify which participants are actively engaged and sharing information and which ones are less active."
"SAP JAM has lots of possibilities and my client is using it for very specific matters, like social collaboration."
"Properly done, this software can be a great resource for your employees to stay engaged and connected to each other and to your organization."
"All employees, from the CEO to the warehouse personnel, have access to Jam and contribute to the news feeds and consume content."
 

Cons

"There just needs to be a bit more direction on how to use it at the outset."
"The mobile application of Asana has to be improved a lot because no one wants to do a complete project management task on mobile."
"A user should be able to identify an assignee for specific tasks or task types while applying the template, or at a minimum, allow for a default assignee."
"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."
"Asana can be improved by adding a voice-based assistant for ticket generation."
"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."
"Some customizations and functions are still not available, however, so far, they haven't been a deal killer."
"For large teams, scalability should be improved."
"The user interface is still quite rigid."
"Sometimes it's a bit confusing with so many options."
"Both layout and branding could be improved."
"I'm hopeful for more integrations with SAP JAM in the future."
"Built-in integrations with other SAP products could be better. We use a SAP HCM product as well, but synching data is a tremendous issue."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's free version can be used for basic functions."
"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."
"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."
"We paid a monthly licensing fee for the product."
"This solution is reasonably priced."
"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."
"It has a free version."
"You need to pay for additional languages. It is somewhat expensive and the payment frequency can be annual or monthly, depending on the choice. There are no extra costs beyond the standard license and implementation fees."
