Find out what your peers are saying about monday.com, Microsoft, Asana and others in Project Management Software."What I like most about Asana is its simplicity. For example: we're not the only ones using it, and we onboard our customers to it, and normally, they have no questions."
"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."
"The ability to share projects and tasks among team members appears to be the most valuable feature."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"Asana, despite its compact size, proves to be incredibly valuable. When initiating a project, it offers the ability to generate a personalized form for clients. In this particular context, my clients include the customer success team and solution architects. This feature allows me to provide them with a convenient means to submit their requests, resembling a ticketing system geared towards internal operations. Moreover, it enables efficient allocation within my team. For instance, if a question pertains to customer success, I can assign it to the CSOps manager and the team. Similarly, if it relates to a specific channel, it can be allocated accordingly."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its project management tracking systems."
"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."
"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."
"Easy to share information and the integration with JIRA is good."
"Collaboration is most valuable. You can upload or create your documents on Confluence and share them with your team members. Your team members also can share documents."
"The search functionality is a really powerful feature."
"It seems highly scalable. There are 500 end users using this solution."
"The templates are a valuable feature. You can make templates. There is a space inside where you can create pages. When you use the template, the page auto-generates text and images. You do not have to think about the structure of your page as well, which I think is a very good thing for a user. Because usually when you're in front of a blank page, it can be a bit dreadful to know where to start."
"The solution is very intuitive and provides excellent content management."
"A simple tool for developers to write and record team decisions explaining the product that they are creating."
"With respect to our experiences with Confluence, we haven't had any issues."
"It would be great if Asana could create a library for each project within the interface."
"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."
"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."
"If you have been using a tool like Jira for many years, it make time some time to get used to the minimalist layout in Asana."
"The calendar view in Asana has shortcomings and can be improved."
"The solution can be difficult for new users to use because of the interface."
"This solution has a learning curve, where it is initially difficult to use."
"Atlassian needs to provide the source editor or a built-in plugin."
"The user interface is a little bit stale. The file attachments and how they work could be improved. There is also room for improvement when it comes to CDNs."
"There needs to be a flexible pricing model, where we can pick and choose services and customize our pricing model."
"The flexibility and simplicity of this solution could be improved. We would also like the ability to add plugins."
"RAM usage seems to be higher than it should be."
"I would like Confluence to include the ability to draw flowcharts and diagrams."
"Space maintenance could be made a little more user-friendly."
"It would be interesting if they had graphical templates that allowed typical agile ceremonies to be documented better."
