Find out what your peers are saying about monday.com, Microsoft, Asana and others in Project Management Software."Asana is a very simple interface for project managers to figure out, providing all the functions they need."
"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."
"It is pretty comprehensive when it comes to the different views that it gives you. It gives you a Gantt chart view, calendar view, board view, and list view. It is kind of helpful to have different types of views and see how it views your different tasks. I appreciate being able to do that. The biggest thing is that it is extremely user friendly. Asana is pretty intuitive. Someone who is not tech-savvy can kind of catch on quickly. It is better than other tools like Smartsheet. Some of the other tools like Microsoft Project and Excel are great tools, but you have to invest a lot of time to learn them, which is not the case with Asana."
"The general UI shows progress and data analytics for all projects in progress."
"The most valuable feature of Asana is the tracking of comments and documents in one place."
"Stable Kanban style tool for collaboration and task management. It runs smoothly and has a straightforward setup."
"The ability to share projects and tasks among team members appears to be the most valuable feature."
"It is easy to use."
"We value the way we can tag documentation to Jira because we can cross-reference a Jira ticket to a Confluence page, and we can also add a Confluence page to a Jira ticket."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"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."
"The product has a valuable feature for quick verification of documents."
"It is a good collaboration tool."
"With respect to our experiences with Confluence, we haven't had any issues."
"Currently, there are only a few available options, but it would be helpful to have more control over the notifications received."
"The mobile application of Asana has to be improved a lot because no one wants to do a complete project management task on mobile."
"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 calendar view in Asana has shortcomings and can be improved."
"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."
"You need to have an action plan, otherwise, it won't be as effective."
"We don't get enough notifications."
"It's difficult to have short-term collaborations with external users because the operations team owns the final licenses, and I work for marketing."
"An area for improvement in Atlassian Confluence is encouraging more vital interaction among the project members or users involved. I was researching a tool that could be used for better interactions offline among users on a specific topic or discussion. That feature would make Atlassian Confluence better."
"Some aspects of the drawing perspective could be improved. When we upgrade a design and make technical architecture drawings to publish, we still use Visio first and then copy and paste it. If this feature were available on Confluence, it would be a useful tool."
"Atlassian needs to provide the source editor or a built-in plugin."
"The product should have a workflow with approvals out-of-the-box."
"Atlassian Confluence could improve how information is shared outside our company. We had some negative experiences with the rights we have with our information when sharing it within Atlassian Confluence and with other teams outside the company. It's due to the limitations on the rights we have on the export capabilities. We don't have sufficient rights to do so."
"Space maintenance could be made a little more user-friendly."
"I would like to see the text editor upgraded from its current limited abilities."
"I would like to see integration with Slack."
