Asana vs. Jira Work Management

Asana fixed team issues like project transparency and communication, improved team performance, and enhanced office and mobile productivity. Upper management can solve project management issues quickly, and new hires can use the tool immediately. Asana's surveys simplify research and data collection. Its free trial, free plan, or paid SaaS subscription gives small and large teams the tools and centralized console to work through project tasks efficiently. Due to its complexity, Asana can be overwhelming at first.

Jira work management represents the solution that allows business teams such as Finance, sales or marketing to collaborate with technical teams within Jira. It has so many features like the List view, the Calendar view, the Timeline view, the Boards, Workflows, Forms, Project templates, Dashboards and reports and automation. Jira Core is very well capable of increasing productivity of the teams through centralization of information through these different types of views and the automation allows the teams to invest less time in configuration and more time in execution of work.

It is very user-friendly. Takes a new employee an hour to start figuring out how the system works. That's an important factor. You don't want to encounter the issue where employees need a week to understand how the system works. For example, JIRA, I tried using it for a week and I still don't understand the complicated layout. Asana has a simple interface. Once you see it, you get it type of program.

Working with Asana on a daily basis

I haven't had to use their support so I can't rate it. The fact that I haven't needed them reflects the ease of use of the product. I would recommend that any new users schedule a complete demo of the product to ensure that they are using it to it's fullest (there's a lot of useful features).

I like how extensive the capabilities are for Asana. With other softwares it seems there are many things lacking. I feel like Asana is also a very user friendly platform and aesthetically pleasing which is important in a modern office. We have many young people entering our workspace and it is important to have software that is ahead of the times in functionality and efficiency.

Jira provides multiple functionalities which any project needs during implementation. It has the feature of tagging the right owner to the issues. It has made the life of project managers easier to track the resolutions and efforts which was utilised for completing the task. It also provides the feature of attachment where users can attach their testing result/progress in the ticket created in Jira.
