Find out what your peers are saying about monday.com, Microsoft, Asana and others in Project Management Software."Asana has helped me (as an individual contributor) organize my daily work and given me a way to plan for longer term objectives."
"It has helped our departments maintain visibility."
"The solution scales well."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Asana is the tracking of comments and documents in one place."
"Asana has significantly reduced the number of emails we exchange because we can access the project directly. It organizes all the tasks related to each project, assigns them to staff with due dates, and tracks progress."
"Asana has a wonderful user experience that is very easy to interact with and has tons of integrations with other products and tools."
"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."
"Allows to use workflow for simple approvals and LazyApproval. The feature is easy to implement for mobile approval."
"The latest version of Nintex has many features. We have a clear roadmap and the necessary application to integrate it into our platform."
"It leverages the out-of-the-box SharePoint back-end. This means that you don’t need to install or deploy additional infrastructure to support Nintex Workflow, unlike some of its competitors."
"It creates workflows to handle business processes. It allows us to route approvals to users without human intervention."
"Only Nintex has the feature which allows attachments to an email."
"I think the initial setup is fine."
"It is a scalable product."
"It has integration with BI and Analytics tools, and RPA toolsets as well."
"A user should be able to identify an assignee for specific tasks or task types while applying the template, or at a minimum, allow for a default assignee. As it is, the template gets created with the just task dates driven by the project start and end dates inputted by the user. In my current situation, I'm assigning myself to many tasks, so I have to do that manually every time. Even if I eventually start adding other people to assign tasks, there won't be more than a handful to do. However, those few people will have multiple tasks. It would be nice to be able to select those individuals during the setup rather than having to do so manually once the project has been created."
"Some updates are outdated, and their functionalities can affect the end outcomes."
"The calendar view in Asana has shortcomings and can be improved."
"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."
"The solution can be difficult for new users to use because of the interface."
"The documentation could be enhanced by incorporating more visually informative videos that demonstrate how to accomplish specific tasks. While Asana's community support is valuable for answering questions, finding precise answers often requires sifting through multiple posts. Having concise and explanatory videos would greatly improve the user experience. When searching on platforms like Google, there are many individuals sharing their approaches to using Asana. However, the information provided is often not directly applicable to one's specific needs. Therefore, it would be advantageous to have comprehensive video tutorials that address common user queries. This would provide a more efficient and intuitive way of accessing information, especially when it comes to learning how to navigate and utilize Asana's features effectively."
"There just needs to be a bit more direction on how to use it at the outset."
"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."
"Built-in reporting on-prem is limited and clunky at best."
"Currently, a notable challenge lies in the alignment of user experiences across the eight or nine applications within the suite. Transitioning between applications can be somewhat cumbersome due to varying user interfaces. However, the provider is actively addressing this concern by consistently rolling out updates every four to five months, aimed at harmonizing and streamlining the interfaces. This ongoing effort is expected to enhance the user experience over time. In terms of functionality and features, the platform stands out, offering flexibility with the option for both on-premises and cloud deployment. This flexibility extends to the RPA tool, providing clients with choices tailored to their preferences. An advantage lies in the shared security and data infrastructure across the toolset, facilitating smooth data transfer between applications. This contrasts with experiences with Oracle, where data transfer may involve complexities such as the need for intermediary file formats like TXL or SCZ."
"The product’s support for the mobile platform and its ability to handle artificial loads could be better."
"At times, issues arise in certain scenarios. In such cases, the versioning can become quite difficult. There may be no other way but to restart the entire process or rectify it at that point."
"While Nintex Workflow has pretty robust troubleshooting abilities, I think that improving the default logging and notifications would be helpful."
"K2's support for DevOp team corporations is weak."
"The interface could be better and more language support is needed in the development environment or in the solutions platform in general."
"The solution does not integrate with many platforms."
