Room For Improvement

Asana users seek improved usability, better integration, enhanced features, and scalability to address interface and workflow challenges.
Trello needs enhanced time-tracking, communication tools, integration, scalability, mobile app features, pricing, onboarding, AI, and task management.
Wrike users desire improvements in reporting, interface, task management, mobile app, customization, collaboration, support, and cost efficiency.
It would be easier if I could assign tasks directly from my email without needing to open Asana.
It would be beneficial to have a native option for Asana to create tickets so we could move away from our main ticketing tool.
A way to manage an overall project with all the specifications, and then managing all the sub-cards related to that project.
It would be beneficial to have a search system that can pull up topics using keywords or AI-driven capabilities, making it easier to find relevant cards.
Each card move or addition results in a new email, so a digest or a better way to receive notifications would be helpful.
 

Setup Cost

Asana's pricing offers free and paid tiers with enhanced features, perceived as competitively priced against rivals like Microsoft Project.
Trello's free version suffices for many, but paid plans start at $6, offering a cost-effective balance of features.
Enterprise users appreciate Wrike's subscription model for its value and convenience, despite varying costs and perceptions.
To add one user is expensive, which makes me cautious about upgrading or adding more users.

Trello excels in task management with its intuitive interface, seamless collaboration, automation, and integration, enhancing team productivity.

Asana's automation allows me to automate deadlines and send notifications to the right people about approaching deadlines.
The easy way to get all the analytics at the end of the month or year is the most important feature, and that's why we are still with Asana.
Trello's interface is aesthetically pleasing for project management, and it enhances collaboration with other team members.
It replaces ping-ponging emails back and forth with a board where people can follow a task from start to finish and see when it's done.
Trello has impacted my organization positively by keeping everything very organized and allowing people to keep track of their tasks.

Featured Reviews

Carlos Alas - PeerSpot reviewer
Efficient workflows and real-time updates boost productivity
What I appreciate about Asana is the easy way to get the data we need for the reports because we are moving all our tickets. We are making a copy from our main ticket system to Asana because our main ticket system is not giving us what we are looking for, so we need to process everything in Asana. We get the dashboard and analytical reports, so we can have a summary of what has been done in which department we are working with or helping. We can see how many requests for each department we are having. The easy way to get all the analytics at the end of the month or year is the most important feature, and that's why we are still with Asana. The benefits I see with Asana are the main tools because of the integration this tool has. For example, we are making tickets but receiving requests through email, and we have the integration with Outlook and Google. We have the add-ins, so we are making the ticket on our main system while replying to the mail, and simultaneously taking this mail to complete our ticket for our Asana project. 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. Because of the integration we have, we just create a project and everyone with specific tasks moves on their tasks, and we receive the updates. We created a bot that gives us updates automatically. Asana provides automation because we receive these updates the moment they happen without anyone needing to tell us they completed tasks or moved on to others. Asana's cloud deployment has been beneficial for our remote or hybrid team operations. If someone is onsite and someone is working from home, everyone can work on the same project through automation. The person from home doesn't need to be on an infinite call with management or coworkers. They can work in real time, and once someone completes a prerequisite task from home, the people onsite will know it and get the green flag to continue their assigned tasks. It has benefits for anyone, including personal uses.
Ariel Lindenfeld - PeerSpot reviewer
Customizable labels and the ability to modify cards streamline task management and save time
There can be bugs sometimes. When more than one person tries to edit the description at the same time, it can do some unexpected things. I would like to see that improved. Sometimes they add new features, which can be either welcome or odd. More control over email notifications would also be helpful.
Awadhesh Singh - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to tag people and has a form system to collect information but cannot work in multiple channels simultaneously
There are several areas where Wrike could improve. First, it doesn't allow accessing multiple channels simultaneously, which would be useful. Transferring data from one project to another is also difficult. It would be easier to work on parallel tasks across different projects. I've noticed others facing similar issues when I check the chat on their website. The tool should also improve coordination between external stakeholders and collaborators. It should also integrate financial features.
