Asana vs Bitrix24

Asana

Overall, despite its drawbacks, Asana works really well for our team. I think this is an appropriate [tool] for a mid-sized digital marketing firm, like ourselves. A software development team is going to want something more robust, like JIRA. However, if you're just shopping for an easy-to-learn tool that will help you manage responsibilities without relying on email? Asana is perfect. Its flexibility also makes it a great fit for most work-flows in almost any industry. Asana is simple out-of-the-box, but it does have robust functionalities that will allow your team to ramp up if desired.

Bitrix24

It is ideal for getting to know what can be in a good CRM (in terms of the number of tools) and how good CRM should not be implemented (in terms of execution). There was a feeling that good old friends develop the product in a situation of a surplus budget, but lack of healthy ideas. More precisely, the ideas of the set and realizations of the sea, but there is not enough in the team of a man who would restore order in this whole economy. Although for small projects or projects with a simple one-two running functionality, the system is good.

For the sales team, it is not convenient! Poor synchronization with 1C. Managers have to spend extra (precious) time for ordering through Bitrix24. Reporting is not correct! A convenient moment is planning. But only this kind of money is not worth it. In general, the system is not adapted for the modern Russian segment of sales and control. It slows down the work of managers. You should not spend money on Bitrix24. There are cheaper and more reliable developments for control. BITRIX24 is a big minus!

Pros

Manage tasks on a project level. Manage stories on a feature level.
Sprint management is very easy. I can organize a sprint quickly from the backlog and have a good understanding of what's being done and by whom.

The searching tool is great. It helps a lot to find registered information previously organized by company or contact.
The streamline feature is a great way to post information and communicate to all users or just to a part of them. It may include the segmentation based on groups (example: sales information only to salespeople).
Easy integration with other systems to automate marketing campaigns (example: MailChimp).
Easy setup on cloud version: register and start to use the software! The free version is good enough if your business is not so big or complex.

Cons

A timeline feature would be huge for enterprise reporting. If you think about viewing a project, it's not just its sprint planning and task management that people want visibility to. It's, what happened and when over the life of the project. Having a timeline with a milestone-level view would help Asana gain traction in the enterprise.
A forecasting tool of delivery is a killer feature (remember killer apps?) for managers. Based on the delivery schedule for the past 50% of the project, we have X% confidence we're on track for final delivery. Now, some of this goes against agile principles but at the same time, so to people, projects and organizations.

Sometimes the user interface is too complex in a few parts of the system. It would be great to have the chance to simplify some of them (self-configuration).
The permissions feature is limited. We tried to set up a specific user type (to restrict the access to CRM information) based on his own companies/contacts (something basic to a CRM) but it was not possible.
The features to manage deals and sales funnel are a bit complex too when compared to other cloud CRM providers. We tried to use this feature for a while but it did not fit to our needs.

Asana10.0

Based on 32 answers

The more familiar I become with Asana, the more it helps me with organization and task management. As I learn new functions and implement them in our organization, I become more and more committed to staying with Asana. Familiarity and proficiency have increased dramatically with time and use. I wouldn't want to start over with a different organizational, team collaboration software partly because of the learning curve with something new.

They don't fix everything, but they have certainly gone the extra mile for us. When we were frustrated with a recent change that altered our default view of every project, changing it from all projects being visible to just incomplete projects being visible, they wrote a custom script to change all of our default views back for us, so we didn't have to manually click 3,000 times (we have over a thousand projects).

Bitrix24 is very well suited to our oranization as per our busineess function. We need something which partly does CRM function, share function, chat, meetings. In all, we found Bitrix24 better and cheaper than Sharepoint. Sharepoint is very good but it has his own way [of doing things].

Return on Investment

I definitely feel more organized and more effective when I'm assigned a task via Asana. It makes it easier to keep track of than email. I also work off-location from the rest of the team.

Yes there is positive impact from bitrix24 in our organization after implementation. It has increased the productivity of employees within the department and organization. Now the interaction between employees is quick and it helps to solve various work queries. Dependencies solving time get reduced. All this leads to a good virtual work environment.
