Find out what your peers are saying about monday.com, Microsoft, Asana and others in Project Management Software."It has helped our departments maintain visibility."
"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."
"Stable Kanban style tool for collaboration and task management. It runs smoothly and has a straightforward setup."
"It’s a great way to communicate plans and progress across the business and is flexible about how much detail I include and how I present it."
"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."
"I like how easy it is to use the rules within Asana."
"It's an easy way to communicate."
"The solution appears to be quite stable."
"I like the project management solution. It's really nice."
"Clarizen Slide Publisher has helped increase transparency and communication with project stakeholders for us."
"Clarizen's strength is reporting. Aside from reporting, I also like the ability to create customized workflow and custom actions. The workflow rules are handy. For example, you can create custom fields and dependent picklists."
"The feature that has improved our project planning the most is the ability to create custom workflows, which allows us to automate manual tasks that project managers need to perform. The collaboration feature enhances our team's productivity by allowing individuals to see the impact of their decisions on projects owned and managed by other teams."
"We have not used Asana on our private server. We have been using the cloud solution. We need an on premise solution for government agencies."
"It's difficult to have short-term collaborations with external users because the operations team owns the final licenses, and I work for marketing."
"There just needs to be a bit more direction on how to use it at the outset."
"The stability of Asana is good. However, there are some issues with maintenance, when the solution is down. For example, there might be maintained for a few hours where we cannot use the solution."
"The inbox feature can be a little overwhelming if you are working with Asana just from its project boards and only checking it periodically."
"In Asana, there's no way to add a custom date field."
"In some instances, there were subtasks where more than one person needed to review it, but I could only assign it to one person. I would have to create a subtask under a subtask and then assign it to other people. This could be improved."
"Some customizations and functions are still not available, however, so far, they haven't been a deal killer."
"If I start customizing too many things, Clarizen tends to get really slow in our environment and especially if I'm tunneled in an environment, like if I'm connected to my VPN."
"It could be more user-friendly. I think it is too overwhelming, initially, in terms of possibilities and so on."
"I felt like the slide publisher isn't that user-friendly. I think it wasn't that easy to use or to figure out because of formatting constraints, or maybe we need to get better at understanding some of its limitations."
"One specific area for improvement could be implementing a development environment to test workflows with live production data."
