Asana

What differentiates Asana from other similar products?

Asana allows non-technical users (non-engineers) to customize their tasks, workflows, and acceptance criteria easily and in a way that promotes innovation. While tools like JIRA may be the 'true' fit for coders due to integrations with tech stacks, Asana allows all non-engineers to set up redundancies, custom workflows, and reporting that adds clarity to any project you are working on.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite aspect of Asana is how easily it is to stay up to date with everything happening. The reporting interface is simple and gives me the data I want, while the portfolio views allow me to keep tabs on major projects while looking at a single page/screen.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The custom actions in Asana (notifications of new tasks, etc.) are great, but there's not really a good way to remove or keep track of old custom actions you don't want anymore. If your project management team changes criteria, personnel, etc...you'll keep finding and removing old custom actions forever.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If your team needs to have technical capabilities, Asana may not be the right choice. We've got teams using Asana and JIRA, and honestly it's a bit of a mess. But if your team doesn't need those capabilities, Asana is a great choice and has all the options you should ever need. So, I guess the biggest thing is thinking through the options you need.

What differentiates Asana from other similar products?

I don't find any difference, maybe it's easier to use and the price is lower.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

When it comes to task management, Asana is the foundation of our business and team collaboration. Amazing features including as time allocation and due dates, @mentioning teammates, color-coding projects based on their urgency, and countless more additions make it easier than ever to organize assignments and ensure that deadlines are met on a consistent basis. Once I got it set up, I found it to be highly adaptive and quite useful, and the bright display, together with the mini animations that appear as tasks are completed, are genuinely uplifting.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Although, when we were working with a smaller team, Asana didn't appear to be the greatest option owing to its somewhat higher cost in comparison to its competitors, as our company grew, we were satisfied with our decision to stay with it.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Asana has a lot to offer your company in terms of capabilities and benefits. Asana is an excellent tool for keeping track of many projects and client interactions, especially if you have a large staff. A basic to-do list program, like Asana, may be more than you need. This makes Asana a better option than comparable rivals, and if you're ready to pay, the automations that are offered may help speed things up and improve productivity.
