Asana

Pros

I love how easy it is to share projects on there, and one of my favorite features is having a template which can be applied to any project

Cons

The limitations as an intitee on a team account

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Dependent tasks (contingencies). This feature is brilliant.

Very bland, not hard to use, but not easy, either.

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.

Reasons for Switching to Asana

Pros

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

Cons

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

Pros

Asana has a sleek modern interface, is used by many companies, and offers a wide range of tools for task and project management.

Cons

For me personally, Asana always felt like too much to handle. With a lot of tasks on my plate as both an employee and manager using Asana on multiple different occasions, I always felt like the app offers way too much for me to comprehend with my busy schedule and limited resources.

Reasons for Switching to Asana

Pros

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.

Cons

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

Pros

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

Cons

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Pros

Asana is the only project management software I've found that has every feature I need, with the most intuitive user interface.

Cons

Wish it had more third-party integrations, but we found API services to fill that need.

Reasons for Switching to Asana

Pros

I love being able to keep everyone on the same page. When implementing our software product, Asana lets each person on the project know what is expected of them and what is expected of others. There is no "I thought you were doing that" or "what are we waiting on". Asana eliminated this. I also love being able to build templates that I can utilize again and again. I don't have to start over each time.

Cons

I wish that Asana had the ability to segment users more. I want complete control over who can comment, who can post, who can complete task, etc. Asana does some of this but it needs to be more granular.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

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..

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Pros

Ever since 2018, it has been easy for me in the three current companies to plan, track and manage tasks without involving manual procedures.

Cons

It offers collaboration and instant messaging features but it lack VC capabilities.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
