Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""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 most valuable feature of the solution is its project management tracking systems.""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 solution appears to be quite stable.""Stable Kanban style tool for collaboration and task management. It runs smoothly and has a straightforward setup.""This solution is easier and faster to use compared to Jira. It's not very structured and you can add sub-tasks and issues easily."

"It increased productivity and timely delivery of projects within a set budget.""The primary uses for this tool are task delegation, generating reports, and on-time invoices."

Cons
"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.""We have not used Asana on our private server. We have been using the cloud solution. We need an on premise solution for government agencies.""It's difficult to have short-term collaborations with external users because the operations team owns the final licenses, and I work for marketing.""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.""The solution can be difficult for new users to use because of 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.""For large teams, scalability should be improved.""Some customizations and functions are still not available, however, so far, they haven't been a deal killer."

"The timely reminders could be reduced from one mail a day to three mails in a week. This tends to fill up our inboxes a lot."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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). Once one person signs up (even for a free account) with a corporate email address, Asana will automatically relate that person to that company, if it already exists. 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."
  • "There is a free version of Asana, but we use the paid version to receive all the features we want. The overall price is reasonable."
  • "Its price is fair. Its licensing cost is cheaper than Microsoft Project. I would rate it a two out of five in terms of pricing."
  • "For what it brings to the table, I think Asana is fairly affordable. I would like to see the portfolio feature in our pricing plan, but other than that, it's definitely pretty good."
  • "We're on the business tier, which is $25 a month if you're on an annual contract. It's $31 if you're on a month-to-month contract. In my experience, there are no hidden costs with Asana. I know Smartsheet has these add-ons that you can buy, which is an additional cost, but Asana doesn't have any add-ons that I know of. When you're trying to scale the product and want to add users, you have to do it in buckets of five. This is also something to consider."
  • "This solution is reasonably priced."
