Find out in this report how the two Project Management Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I am impressed with the tool's continuous improvement. Every six months we get to see a completely different product. You can build a new product using no-code applications. We are able to scale up with the product."
"The scripting extension enhances the things that you can do with Airtable."
"The relations and multiple-choice options are the most valuable features. For example, if I have one client but multiple projects in the same client, it's much easier to map it with Airtable than if I use a Google Sheet. The relationship between interfaces is a key feature that I use very often."
"The solution makes it easy to structure data into simple data tables."
"The sorting of the data is the best feature of Airtable. In a Google sheet I have to insert some data and Airtable provides the default option of doing it automatically."
"Airtable stands out for its exceptional user-friendliness, making it accessible to users of all skill levels. Its intuitive navigation ensures a smooth experience, allowing users to easily explore and comprehend its functionalities. Moreover, Airtable offers powerful automation capabilities that enhance efficiency. One particularly advantageous aspect is the seamless linking of databases, enabling the effortless creation of relational databases. Overall, this feature has proven to be immensely valuable and has been the primary focus of my usage."
"The product is very easy to use and flexible."
"I am impressed with the product's user interface and integrations. It helps me to ship products very fast."
"Asana allows you to create your own project with sub sections with subtasks that can be assigned. The feature I really love is that you can tag people to notify them that there has been progress on a project as well as add attachments."
"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 share projects and tasks among team members appears to be the most valuable feature."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"Asana's most valuable aspect is its ability to consolidate all tasks and projects onto a single board, allowing for seamless navigation through timelines from start to finish. Additionally, it enables the inclusion of key stakeholders and provides a private communication channel for discreet discussions. The organizational component of Asana is particularly beneficial, including its coding features."
"Asana provides a lot of options and a lot of customization to give the best efficient way for your business to operate. For example, I can customize my tasks, tables, and pipelines the way I want them to fit my business model. It's easy and highly customizable."
"By using this software, I have adaptability in my work, and it can improve the production of our company."
"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."
"They should allow us to duplicate the data to share it with others."
"Reporting, specifically anything involving exports, could be improved."
"The product should improve the Spanish translation."
"Airtable needs improvement with the loading speed. It takes a lot of time to load."
"The product's AI feature needs improvement."
"The interfaces provided by the company have certainly undergone significant improvements since their earlier versions. The growth and progress have been remarkable. I have personally shared numerous feedback points and observed the prompt implementation of changes within a few months, which is highly commendable. However, I must admit that I have encountered several challenges with their interfaces."
"It'd be nice if the record limit of 50,000 record limit per base on pro accounts were substantially higher."
"The user interface should be more intuitive."
"We'd like the capability to be able to set up weekly reminders."
"The documentation for integration could be improved. We require more information to facilitate the integrations."
"The product must reduce the information on the interface."
"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."
"The solution can be difficult for new users to use because of the interface."
"In some instances, there were subtasks where more than one person needed to review it, but I could only assign it to one person. I would have to create a subtask under a subtask and then assign it to other people. This could be improved."
"We don't get enough notifications."
"It would be great if Asana could create a library for each project within the interface."
