Find out in this report how the two Project Management Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It was just a few clicks to get started and to integrate Asana into our existing business system. It took 15 days to fully implement our projects using Asana."
"Asana has helped me (as an individual contributor) organize my daily work and given me a way to plan for longer term objectives."
"Asana has a wonderful user experience that is very easy to interact with and has tons of integrations with other products and tools."
"I like how easy it is to use the rules within Asana."
"The general UI shows progress and data analytics for all projects in progress."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its project management tracking systems."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"Visibility and organization are the most valuable features of Wrike."
"The product is intuitive. It is easy to learn and update. You can follow the project from the beginning till the end with the help of the solution. The tool helps to update the project in seconds."
"This is a good tool for project progress tracking and sharing tasks with internal and external parties."
"We can easily write down the tasks and reorganize them as well as have a progression index. Wrike offers several views including a kanban view and Gantt chart view."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The most valuable feature of Wrike is the tag functionality."
"It's a very easy-to-use and flexible tool. We can easily write and create queues for different themes. It's very user-friendly."
"In our company, we heavily rely on Wrike. Wrike has helped in communication, managing all sorts of projects and tasks, and having a history of all our correspondence items."
"We tried, but we haven't been successful with it. If people don't have the training, it is not easy to use. You need to make sure that the people are trained to use the system. They can provide more resources in the form of webcasts and videos that people can use to train themselves and understand how to use it."
"We don't get enough notifications."
"I rate the support from Asana a four out of five."
"This solution has a learning curve, where it is initially difficult to use."
"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."
"Currently, there are only a few available options, but it would be helpful to have more control over the notifications received."
"Their workflows and automation could use a big improvement. I don't even know if they have anything in that regard right now. I would really love to see a way where you can send custom alerts based on a task's completion or status change or an approval coming through. I would love to see a way to get some low-code functionality into Asana because right now, that is a big miss."
"Having a quick way to do video inside the platform or video communication could be very handy."
"It would be great if they could develop more reporting."
"This solution could be improved if we were able to better analyze how the application consumes cloud resources as this can cause a delay in performance."
"On one side, it's very easy to create a task with text, but on the other side, it's not very well-formatted. Therefore, it's difficult to track specific data written in a task. We are making templates, but it's not enough to use a template to know the exact status of different tasks. One thing that we are looking for in Wrike is a better workflow. Because we can only move the status of tasks, we can't really manage workflow and send a task to a specific person. This is what is really missing in Wrike as compared to other tools. We are looking to replace Wrike because we need support for workflow. Another issue with Wrike is that they bring a lot of versions of the tool, which it's not so easy. They bring new versions very frequently, and these versions look similar. For example, we are using robots to read the tasks in the tools, which is problematic with Wrike because it is changing very frequently."
"We faced an issue with the Wrike outlook add-on; it is only available for Microsoft Office 365, and not the on-premise version."
"Wrike needs to be more responsive to community requests for new features."
"The product needs to send direct emails to customers updating the latest aspects since it is better to hear directly."
"We feel that the actual project reports and roll-ups could be a lot different. We are seeking something more for the dashboard. We would like a high-level dashboard that can be broken down into individual product roll-ups and tasks that are assigned. If you assign someone to a task, it assigns them all of the tasks under that. We want to be able to break those down so that a person doesn't have an 800 task list, for example. We want more separation with that and a higher-level dashboard experience."
"What annoys me with Wrike and things that I would like to improve is that you need to have a very organized workflow that everyone in the company follows, and only then will Wrike work."
