Find out what your peers are saying about monday.com, Microsoft, Asana and others in Project Management Software."I love the way it monitors all of the current and past projects, and it sends notifications to keep everything on the track."
"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."
"Asana has helped me (as an individual contributor) organize my daily work and given me a way to plan for longer term objectives."
"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."
"The ability to share projects and tasks among team members appears to be the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of Asana is the ease of navigation."
"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 tool has a lot of integrations."
"The most valuable feature is the complete integration between test cases, pipelines, and issue management."
"This is an all-in-one, one-stop shop, nothing comes close."
"The most valuable feature is that it's fully integrated, where we have a single place to do everything that we need."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it saves time."
"Everything that's related to the pipeline has been very good."
"It is a really easy way to define all of the features that you need to deliver. You can link those features to epics and break them down into user stories. You can also assign the user stories into sprints for doing your product improvement planning."
"It has a good GUI, and it's very user-friendly."
"It is a cloud-based system. So, it is stable and scalable."
"Some updates are outdated, and their functionalities can affect the end outcomes."
"I rate the support from Asana a four out of five."
"There could be some improvements in terms of how projects or day-to-day work is organized. One of the challenges when it comes to rolling out to an enterprise is the way the projects are organized. It has a kind of setup where you have different projects and tasks, but it is not as organized as Smartsheet when it comes to organizing projects or different teams. It can get really cluttered really fast. JIRA has another suite to submit the support tickets. It would be good if Asana could branch out to incorporate some kind of workflow. It is great for collaboration and recording work, but there isn't any workflow. It would be useful if they can map out a workflow of who approves what. This is kind of a big ask, and it is not geared towards that."
"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."
"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 product must reduce the information on the interface."
"In Asana, there's no way to add a custom date field."
"The documentation for integration could be improved. We require more information to facilitate the integrations."
"With an ecosystem that has been up and running for some time, you won't have the full-flexibility that you would have with a new ecosystem."
"The user management in the solution could improve."
"It is very difficult to integrate the product with third-party tools."
"I have not been able to use the integration with automation features, such as test management automation, with a framework that is written in Java."
"While reporting in Azure DevOps is a robust capability, there's always room for enhancement, particularly in providing more granular reports."
"Definitely, there should be more integration between GitHub and Azure DevOps."
"Something that could be improved is the initial setup with the integration of ReadyAPI."
"It is essential that you get buy-in from the top management down to everyone in the pipeline."
