Asana is better organized and less visually confusing. It's more user intuitive and clear about what exactly needs to get done and what elements depend on others being executed. Overall, the list and kanban views allow for a more natural, more organized viewing experience, and flexibility in different thinking styles.

Timelines: With Asana, you can create Gantt charts that show you preceding/needed action items. When a part of a project is delayed, you can track how that will affect the forward trajectory of the project.

Organized File storage: There's one master view for file storage, OR you can store files in individual tasks. Overall, for visually-driven individuals - and for those who need a strong sense of organization, it's not that helpful

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Asana is great for high-level timelines and sharing with clients. It gives a great snapshot of everything we need to achieve or have already completed. I wouldn't describe the tool as full-service as I couldn't really collaborate on it or work on risks/opportunities. However, it is great for sharing directly with clients. For this reason, I would recommend it.

Asana is very practical and easy to use software. If you are looking to implement a software for project management in your company then this could be the software which layman can get used to and doesn't require heavy implementation or training.
