Find out what your peers are saying about monday.com, Microsoft, Asana and others in Project Management Software."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."
"It is stable and easy to set up."
"The only thing I love about the product is that it is beautiful."
"My task box displays all of our tasks, organized by day, helping us to focus on what needs to be done each day."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of Asana is the ease of navigation."
"Stable Kanban style tool for collaboration and task management. It runs smoothly and has a straightforward setup."
"I like how easy it is to use the rules within Asana."
"What I like the most about Agile Central is that it is the only system I need to have full control and visibility of our entire body of work plus the activities and processes required to deliver it."
"We've actually used it for virtual PI planning. We have teams in different locations, and we actually virtually do PI planning, big-room planning, using the tools."
"CA Agile Central helps the entire organization run like one powerful team."
"We can work better and at a higher quality, than we were able to before."
"It's designed around Agile, so it has all of the pieces that match up with the process."
"With this product, searching for historical information or the evolution of the requirement, detecting conflict between projects has helped a lot."
"CA Agile Central provides visibility into how teams are meeting business objectives."
"What I like most about Rally Software, in terms of using it for the agile process, is that it's clear, useful, and user-friendly. I also like that it has every field you can use for the Scrum process."
"I rate the support from Asana a four out of five."
"Currently, there are only a few available options, but it would be helpful to have more control over the notifications received."
"On the development side for technical project management, Asana is missing features. We only use it for discussing tasks and strategies, and we use it for customer to-do lists. It doesn't have the source code integration that Jira and Jira Service Desk both have."
"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."
"For large teams, scalability should be improved."
"The calendar view in Asana has shortcomings and can be improved."
"The inbox feature can be a little overwhelming if you are working with Asana just from its project boards and only checking it periodically."
"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."
"A lot of the features that we would be looking to add, I am learning may not be within Agile Central, but part of another CA tool set."
"I think the interface could be a little bit more visual and less wordy. Right now, it seems like it's just a lot of text on the page. In other ticketing systems where it's more visual, you can see more of a flow. But in this one it's more just a list of tasks. I would like to see that a little bit better, especially considering it has so many great organizational features, like child tasks, different artifacts. It would be great to see it presented more appropriately."
"The Reporting feature can improve, especially around executive summaries and dependency mapping."
"We did submit an enhancement request. I think a lot of teams that do very large scale products have the same issue. They just do not realize it would help them."
"We would like more meaningful, customizable dashboards."
"I think there needs to be some simplification. The team-level side can be challenging and complicated."
"In Rally Software, the connection with GitLab and GitHub needs improvement."
"As it is right now, it does not support automation of the quality assurance process. It just supports manual testing."
