Pourquoi passer à Asana

Asana had all the features we were looking for with more integration options to connect to our other business tools. Also offered great pricing for non-profits.

Avantages

Asana is a powerful team communication and collaboration tool that can help organize complex efforts with many people.

It has a visual style that makes seeing your information easy and logical.

Inconvénients

Asana does not have many features, and in this regard it is quite comparable to the Microsoft alternative.

Pourquoi passer à Asana

I wanted to try something different as I have used many projects management tools in the past.

Avantages

It used to have an ease of use. Very vitually appealing and easy for staff to follow. I also enjoyed the Celebration Creatures.

Inconvénients

Since developing a paid version, more and more functions have been stripped from the paid one. And the paid version is incredibly expensive for a small, independent business. The search function is impossible, you can't get rid of detritus, etc. I can no longer recommend them.

We were happy with its ease of use and accommodation to small companies.

Avantages

I like that the platform is very user friendly and easy to navigate taks, calendars etc and ha sthw ability view things per project, per team or per person.

Inconvénients

We do find it a bit on the expensive side, although i will saybthat vesus other software we've tried for team communication, we find this to be the most effective for our needs and therefore, worth the higher cost.

Avantages

Love the ease of creating and assigning tasks for various projects. My team and I can easily track our work, collaborate, update notes, change status, and more.

Inconvénients

I would like to see a bit more flexibility in changing color layout on the free version.

Pourquoi passer à Asana

My assistant had a preference for Asana and based on her comfort level and experience with the product, I was willing to give it a try.

Avantages

Ease of setup, what exists out of the box made it much easier to implement than previous software we used, it's affordable, and everyone has learned to use it well.

Inconvénients

Some quirks of users owning automations (I wish they belonged to the project and could exist without the user), I wish there were rules/automations on portfolios.

Pourquoi passer à Asana

Ease of use, what existed out of the box.

Avantages

Our creative team uses Asana to keep track of all tasks and calendars. It is really important to the organization of our projects. Some users would be completely lost without it.

Inconvénients

Learning curve for admins but nothing too bad. So many features and it took a while to get to the most efficient use of the platform.

Avantages

- Userfriendly
- Affordable
- Easy to merge with other software
- Lots of options to organise work

Inconvénients

As there is a lot of way to use Asana, it is kinda hard to make it work for everyone in the team and to make sure everyone does it in the same way.

Pourquoi passer à Asana

Price and ease of use was better. Some member of the team had worked with it in the future.

Avantages

One of the easiest and reliable project management software in the industry. The design flexibility aligned with the detailed management for deadlines make it very easy to use.

Inconvénients

The emails are a bit excessive and sometimes get very irritating and the pricing is a little on the high note.

Avantages

Asana is a very robust project management tool with a simple interface. It is not hard to get started and do the basics such as creating a project and adding tasks. The app is also very intuitive and you can get to your tasks quite quickly. I like that I can just scroll through the tasks and find one that I can do in the time I have available. You can also prioritize your tasks by importance.
I like the list view of projects because I don't have to open workspaces and boards, etc. However, it does also have the Kanban layout.

Inconvénients

This is not really the fault of the software, but I tend to put too many tasks in project management tools and this reduces my motivation to open them. Ultimately, it's easier for me to remember something when I write it down on paper.

Avantages

As a project management tool it's strong - lots of really simple to use layouts and project templates so no PM experience required to get started.
It's reporting functionality is great too, and goal setting is really useful to the team.

Inconvénients

The price. We'd love to go for the biggest plan but for a start up it's hard to justify the full cost if only certain teams are adopting it. It can get expensive pretty quickly.

Pourquoi passer à Asana

UX/UI of Asana is way nicer than planner, even though we are a MS company

Avantages

Asana has a lot of moduality. I'm a very particular person and very systems-minded, and I can really tailor Asana to those specific, high-level needs. That said, Asana manages to offer that power of options without over-crowding the UI/X and making the platform feel sluggish or over-stimulating to view.

Inconvénients

Very few things that are largely insignificant compared to it's strength. There are small details like the pop-up windows from completed, deleted or altered tasks appearing on the left of screen obscuring the menus/ projects. You have to close each one until you can get to click your next project.

Avantages

Asana helps to keep me organization everyday. The product is easy to use and the GUI is user friendly. I Love Asana. It has been my life saver

Inconvénients

There is still as lot of information on Asana that I do not know how to use yet. I could use more training.

Pourquoi passer à Asana

Asana just has all the features we want, in a simple to use format. The UI is great, and each user can customize how they want to view data.

Avantages

Asana facilities task management, time tracking and project portfolio management capabilities in one single repository.

Inconvénients

Asana for the past three years has been perfect. The issues that I was facing on my mobile application was rectified upon version upgrade.

Avantages

I like using Asana because it makes organizing my projects, tasks, and work much easier. It is also very useful when collaborating with my team because it has allowed me to keep track of all the activities we’ve done.

Inconvénients

The only thing I don’t like about Asana is that it can be a bit complex for those trying to learn to use the tool, as it has multiple functions, which can be challenging for new users.

Avantages

The main highlight for me is how Asana helps organize tasks and projects visually. The customizable boards, lists, and timelines make it easy to manage workflows and collaborate with my team.

Inconvénients

The learning curve can be a bit steep for new users. Some features, like reporting and task dependencies, are more complex and require extra time to set up properly. However after becoming comfortable with Asana and its features, it is an undeniably useful tool.

Avantages

Asana makes use of very superior data security tools which keep all our data and information safe and sound. It has collaboration features which makes it easy for our team to communicate and work together during our team projects. Asana reporting feature provide us with clear insights that help track the performance of our projects. It also has interactive live dashboards that offer very easy to interpret project visuals making it easy to monitor the progress of our projects. It is easy to set project goals and objectives with Asana that help us keep focused on the most important work of the project.

Inconvénients

Asana has never shown any signs of weakness. Our experience has been very flawless and we have nothing to give complaints about.

Avantages

Asana task boards and lists keep everything in order and make it easier to meet targets. I like how simple it is for people who are new to managing projects.

Inconvénients

If you struggle to manage your notifications well they can be too much and the free version has limits.

Avantages

I like that the capabilities are endless for how you can set up projects and processes to work best for your specific company or team. I also love that, on a daily basis, I discover some new way that Asana can make my job more efficient and streamlined.

Inconvénients

Changing the “time” in the due date field is a little wonky if you are trying to type it in and not use the drop-down. But that’s the only minor annoyance I have.

Avantages

Using Asana is intuitive. It's so easy to pick up. Especially once you find the task view you prefer. I like using the Calendar and Gantt views, but there's something for everyone. It also is a great system of record for projects. The whole team can connect on a project's overall progress but also on its details, and the ability to add hyperlinks and attach docs to tasks keeps everything in one place, which is indispensable for successfully managing bigger projects.

Inconvénients

I don't dislike anything about Asana, but I've used different tiers of Asana throughout the years and am currently using a tier that doesn't include the ability to set a project's status. I miss that feature.

Avantages

Asana has been instrumental in helping our employees and team at a small nonprofit probe, manage and track individual tasks and team projects. It’s been a dream tool in project management across teams with the ability to establish a project visually to all with individual tasks and the ability to assign tasks to others AND see when tasks assigned to others are completed. We establish at employee KPI’s here at the beginning of the year and the Goals function helps us measure and track these with updates you can do monthly, either manually or have them update automatically, depending on your markers.

Inconvénients

My only complaint is that it has more complexity and capability than we can use without taking the time to really offer trainings in it. So I know we’re using it clumsily and not to full capacity for our event planning for a large fundraising event at the end of the year. But it would take us more time to train using it than we currently have right now.

Avantages

The collaboration and organization ability of asana is great. The visual aspect is great as well, although does have some opportunities.

Inconvénients

I'd like additional visual options for better organizational purposes.

Avantages

Asana task view boards allows us to keep up with the real time progress of our work. The team communication tools has offered us an efficient way to keep our team united during the entire project period by helping us share updates easily. It offers exceptional project reporting function that offers incredible insights that allows us to align our work with our objectives.

Inconvénients

Everything about Asana has melted our hearts. We can't get anything to like least.

Avantages

Easy project management with a variety of tools that support with planning and tracking. Easy collaboration and nice views for better insights in current status and ongoing tasks. The comment sections makes it easy to ask questions to other team members.

Inconvénients

Free plan has some limitations. Unfortunately, they discontinued the "free for students" offer. This is a huge drawback since I used to teach my students some advanced aspects of project management using Asana Premium features as an example.

Avantages

I LOVE how functional it is for small and medium sized teams - even the free portion of it?

From time to time, Asana does change the URLs of their various tools, which means bookmarking can be a problem.

Pourquoi passer à Asana

Asana's free version is SO powerful, it drew us in!

Avantages

If you know how to use Asana and all of its features, then it can work wonders for your team. Asana is helpful for tracking shared tasks on a team-level, such as a team that is planning an annual event with multiple tasks, deadlines, and departments (marketing and sponsorships, event logistics, registration management, etc.). Your team's Asana can consist of multiple "Projects", with sub-categories within each project for your individual tasks. Tasks can be assigned to as few or as many teammates as you'd prefer, and can be set to reoccurring or one-time only. Tasks can move between sub-categories and between projects. Our team also uses Asana for weekly team meetings, where we check off each task as an agenda item, and will sometimes turn an agenda item into a task on someone's to-do list, adding a due date and moving the task to a relevant project.

Inconvénients

Sometimes, the functionality and innerworkings of Asana can be rather complex for a team's comprehension. With some training and sharing of best practices, teams can truly make Asana work for them. The cons of Asana lie more with the users, as everyone needs to be on the same page on using Asana and how the team specifically wants to manage tasks. Every team has their own preferences. Also, as someone who represents multiple non-profit organizations in my job and has multiple emails/aliases, it can also be challenging if you have already created an Asana account with one email. There is a way to merge all your Asana "teams" into one log-in, but it is difficult to do so if you have already created an Asana log-in.

Avantages

That I can remotely manage mine and my team schedule. I love the fact that I can collaborate with every member of my team . Finally, I love the flexibility and of the tool.

Inconvénients

It can be a bit hard for one to navigate the software. The software needs proper time to acclimatize.

Avantages

I love managing social media tasks such as captions and hashtags for various strategies. I can manage the daily grind of social media from anywhere in the app and the notifications let's me stay on track for rolling out promotional marketing on a number of social media platforms. In the projects I can create tasks and lists quite easily.

Inconvénients

It doesn't appear to let me assign another person to a task so the communication function isn't as efficient as I would like.

Avantages

Its very convenient to use task management system in Asana and seamless integration make it a hit. Customizable templates allow the workflows to be tailored to specific projects and help teams to be more efficient. Asana continuous collaboration features help its team members communicate instantly, get updates, and track progress without any hiatus, and it is a powerful choice for product designers.

Inconvénients

Asana has its strengths but could use a couple of extra bells and whistles, as far as reporting goes, which would give a bit deeper knowledge about project timelines and resource allocation. Additionally, the mobile app's UI needs to be cleaner and more streamline in order to execute the navigation, in which the user can even perform the tasks easily on the go.

Avantages

I like how easy it is to track projects and see who's doing what. The layout is simple and it keeps everything in one place. Makes teamwork less messy

Inconvénients

Can get a little bit overwhelming with too many tasks and notifications. Sometimes it feels like more work just managing the work

Avantages

It’s an excellent tool for project management and collaboration with an interdisciplinary team, even when part of the team is external to the organization.

Inconvénients

There’s nothing I don’t like about Asana, but perhaps it could make the experience of duplicating projects a bit simpler.

Avantages

Robust hierarchical scheduling, planning, organising and prioritising in accordance to urgency of need.
Team communication via instant messaging and file sharing. Online services and products promotion.

Inconvénients

No need to deceive prospects, nothing to register on cons section.

Avantages

Asana is a great tool for any business that works within multiple levels. We use it across our organization to stay involved and collaborative. It's been so beneficial to have immediate feedback from team members about projects.

Inconvénients

Sometimes switching between companies/jobs is a bit clunky. There isn't a whole lot to complain about when using it, however.

Basecamp

Pourquoi passer à Asana

The flexibility and user interface were much more manageable.

Avantages

I love the ability to organize projects with tasks, sub-tasks, and even sub-sub-tasks. We can assign people to each task with specific due dates. My whole team is always on the same page because of this task management system.

Inconvénients

The only con is that I would love to have more flexibility on how I organize the projects, because my company has quite a few and they can be cumbersome to locate at times.

Avantages

It keeps me organized!! It is so easy to see what I have to do, what others on my team are working on, and when everything is getting done. I love how we can communicate in Asana, provide updates on workflows, and easily adjust as needed. It's amazing that we can work with clients on other boards and just overall streamline workstreams.

Inconvénients

That not everyone uses it, so sometimes have to figure out how to get people on board or integrate our system with theirs.

Avantages

I liked the incredible customisability the most about Asana. It's a software that has thousands (maybe a slight hyperbole) of potential uses. We use it for so many things, and it is incredibly integrated into my daily workflow I couldn't imagine working without it.

Inconvénients

Asana is slightly lacking options regarding levels of user access into projects. For example, who can comment, who can view, who can add attachments etc..

Avantages

Asana is a great tool for the type A project manager or teams that enjoy craft organizational tools with a twist. Asana has a TON of different customizations such as creating rules for tasks once the completion date has been reached or allowing you to assign a collaborator to a child tasks with a parent action

Inconvénients

Since there are so many custom tool options it may motivate teams to delay the initial setup of the tool to make it work for your industry or line of project tasks and milestones

Avantages

I liked Asana's ability to keep projects organized with its task management and calendar views, making it easy to plan content, set deadlines, and track progress. The integrations with tools like Google Drive also streamline sharing and collaboration.

Inconvénients

What I liked least about Asana was the occasional clutter when managing complex projects, as too many tasks and subtasks could make it overwhelming. Additionally, some features felt limited unless you upgraded to the premium version.

Avantages

The best thing is the free version for small teams. If you are starting your business or you have a smaller team it is the best. Great way to experience how things work.

Inconvénients

From start it was a bit tricky to navigate between free and paid options.

The calendar view. In one screen I can see what my entire team has going in the upcoming days and how full our schedule is.

Pourquoi passer à Asana

Initially it was because of the price. Asana was free to teams under 15 which allowed us to use it while growing without a costly overhead.

Avantages

I like Asana because it offers something that other collaboration tools don't, which is that it is visually simple and intuitive. Its task management interface uses kanban-style cards to visually organize tasks. Integrates with my files and apps for seamless collaboration. You can attach different files to tasks, from images to audios. (Best of all, this is archived in Asana) Good
file sharing to create, store and share from Dropbox, Google Drive, Box).

Inconvénients

No comments, personally I have excellent experience.

Avantages

I love how complex of a product Asana is with levels and layers of logic you can built into the tool.

Inconvénients

It took awhile to get familiar with the layout and way the platform worked, as I was used to using Trello and Kanban boards in Confluence.

Avantages

Carrying out project and task management procedures manually is quite daunting. Asana is what we rely on to automate the entire process.

Inconvénients

Even though Asana offers collaboration tools, it lacks web conferencing capability.

Avantages

I like that it allows my team members to collaborate by commenting on tasks and sharing details on the project which ensures smooth workflows.

Inconvénients

So far i have no complaints about the product.

Avantages

Simply that it exists. The ability to communicate all statuses, efforts, and steps in a process between all departments without needing to literally communicate, is incredible. Including the ability to template processes, and tasks.

Inconvénients

I would appreciate it if it was easier to make sections templated easier. I am sure there may be a way to do that, but I do not know how.
