Find out what your peers are saying about monday.com, Microsoft, Asana and others in Project Management Software."The tool has a lot of integrations."
"Asana, despite its compact size, proves to be incredibly valuable. When initiating a project, it offers the ability to generate a personalized form for clients. In this particular context, my clients include the customer success team and solution architects. This feature allows me to provide them with a convenient means to submit their requests, resembling a ticketing system geared towards internal operations. Moreover, it enables efficient allocation within my team. For instance, if a question pertains to customer success, I can assign it to the CSOps manager and the team. Similarly, if it relates to a specific channel, it can be allocated accordingly."
"It's an easy way to communicate."
"The ability to build subtasks and break things down off of our major tasks has been very valuable. It is very stable and extremely scalable. The initial setup is very simple."
"It is stable and easy to set up."
"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."
"It has helped our departments maintain visibility."
"The one thing that really stands out to me is how you can filter and how you can do your reporting and filter the tasks and everything by user."
"The integration of the whole cycle is the main strength of the tool. If I want to control the cycle with other tools on the market, I would have to use several tools. However, this is not the case with Azure DevOps or TFS."
"The most valuable feature in automating our build and release processes with Azure DevOps is the scheduling capability."
"I like the fact that there is built-in Power BI. Both are Microsoft tools. So, you can incorporate dashboard capabilities."
"The product is easy to use...It is a stable solution."
"It's a pretty problem-free solution."
"Azure Port is considered the most valuable feature."
"We use all the DevOps features and services, like reports, Boards, Pipelines, Artifactory, etc. The interface is interactive and intuitive. The platform visuals and workflow are straightforward in Azure DevOps."
"Currently, there are only a few available options, but it would be helpful to have more control over the notifications received."
"Some updates are outdated, and their functionalities can affect the end outcomes."
"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."
"It would be great if Asana could create a library for each project within the interface."
"The product must reduce the information on the interface."
"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."
"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."
"We are facing a lot of issues in the development of containerized solutions. We are facing a lot of challenges in this area. They could make the process simpler."
"The solution is generally stable but not entirely issue-free."
"Templates could be improved."
"The active directory password system needs some improvement because many times the password for the active directory expires before the set time."
"The solution can improve by adding integration with on-premise tools. The only built-in repository options are GitHub and DevOps."
"One thing I would note is that it's hard to know what is included or not in the product. Especially when you begin to try and compare it to other solutions. When you go to a site like VersionOne, they tell you Azure DevOps doesn't have this or that, and when you go to Microsoft, it says VersionOne doesn't have this or that. They could do a better job of laying out exactly what is on offer so customers know going in exactly what they'll get."
"Not all companies use the same methodology which could limit the use of this solution."
"The functions have too much dependency right now, so it makes it really, really hard to upgrade and make a change in the code."
