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."
"My task box displays all of our tasks, organized by day, helping us to focus on what needs to be done each day."
"It is very good for managing the timeline. I'm a quality manager, and I have different testing projects running with different work breakdown structures. Asana makes it very easy to implement and monitor the plans. It is easy to move the tasks and complete them, break them down, and assign them to people."
"Asana is a very simple interface for project managers to figure out, providing all the functions they need."
"The most valuable feature of Asana is the tracking of comments and documents in one place."
"The only thing I love about the product is that it is beautiful."
"Asana has helped me (as an individual contributor) organize my daily work and given me a way to plan for longer term objectives."
"By using this software, I have adaptability in my work, and it can improve the production of our company."
"Allows to use workflow for simple approvals and LazyApproval. The feature is easy to implement for mobile approval."
"The strength of this solution lies in its connectors and the accessibility of an open API. The presence of an open API allows users to create custom connectors if necessary, provided there is access to the source API documentation. Additionally, the platform features a straightforward yet highly effective forms tool. This tool not only seamlessly integrates with the workflow functionality but also facilitates the transmission of information to the document generation tool. This comprehensive integration is particularly noteworthy when compared to alternatives such as Oracle, which tends to rely on more complex and separate logic for similar functionalities. A key strength of Nintex lies in its user-centric approach to help documentation. The materials are designed to be easily understood, avoiding complex terminology. In cases where technical terms are used, they are linked to articles for further clarification. This contrasts with platforms like Microsoft and Oracle, which may employ technical jargon without clear explanations. Nintex further supports its users through a robust online community, fostering collaboration and shared insights. Additionally, Nintex University offers online training across all applications, following a role-based structure. Unlike some other platforms, Nintex's training is thoughtfully broken down into shorter courses, focused on specific roles. This approach ensures that users can efficiently access the information they need without navigating through extensive and potentially irrelevant content, as may be the case with Oracle's training structure."
"It is very easy to create and deploy. I am very happy with how user-friendly Nintex Workflow is."
"The integration capabilities have been very useful."
"It saves time as tasks are automated."
"This tool is really helpful in reducing a lot of manual work. Its drag and drop components help to create a workflow faster than SharePoint Workflow Designer."
"It's easy to configure your set of rules to make the form controls work perfectly, removing manual work and making processes seamless."
"NWC forms could be better. Also, the ability to build workflows that are not dependent on SharePoint is very desirable. The forms feature just isn’t as functional as the forms for SharePoint."
"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."
"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."
"Some updates are outdated, and their functionalities can affect the end outcomes."
"The documentation for integration could be improved. We require more information to facilitate the integrations."
"The solution can be difficult for new users to use because of the interface."
"Having a quick way to do video inside the platform or video communication could be very handy."
"We'd like the capability to be able to set up weekly reminders."
"It would be great if Asana could create a library for each project within the interface."
"The interface could be better and more language support is needed in the development environment or in the solutions platform in general."
"There have been some glitches, and the workflow fails frequently."
"The solution is a bit too expensive. It could be cheaper."
"Currently, it's taking quite some time to deploy a package, it needs improvement"
"Unfortunately, Nintex Workflow is not that stable. We are looking at shifting to another tool."
"The product’s support for the mobile platform and its ability to handle artificial loads could be better."
"Heavy, cumbersome and inflexible."
"We would like to have access to an on-premises solution. In our country, we have a relationship with Central Bank of Egypt, which do noes not allow cloud solutions to be used. They should offer an on-prem solution with a flexible price license."
