Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
"The price of this solution makes it quite accessible, and the plans fit my budget."
"Asana has two different types of structures: company vs workspace. Company is really best if all the users you plan to assign work to are all internal (have the same corporate domain in their user ID email address).

If you plan to use it for external collaboration as well as internal, then creating a workspace is a better approach."
"It has a free version."
