Workspaces are helpful to segment information.
Being able to download files directly from Nuclino is useful.
Having the ability to link to external docs is useful.

Cons

Some users might find the user interface a bit dull and un inspired
We found the way to use multiple workspaces a bit confusing
It takes quite a bit of planning to build a well organized workspace in order not to have way too many projects and tasks all over the place

No real offline use is possible.
For small teams it's ok, but pricing is too high if lots of employees need to work with it.

Usability

Asana 9.0

Based on 22 answers

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.

I love Nuclino's usability. The layout is clean, simple, easy to follow, and bright. I like that there is a read-only account option so that less-tech savvy people can still use it and they won't need to worry about deleting key information from the database. Similarly, I like the features that allow multiple contributors to have the same features to edit.

Asana 5.9

Based on 81 answers

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).

The Nuclino knowledge base is good. Most answers to your questions can be found there. I didn't need to contact support at all.

Alternatives Considered

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.

Nuclino is the clear winner when it comes to ease of use for both the administrator and user. Less setup time and less "training" time. The streamlined interface is quick and intuitive to learn and is not cluttered as compared to Confluence. Every tool you need to use to create a page or administer the workspace is available immediately on screen or by right-clicking. In contrast, Confluence buries many tools in administrative interfaces and only allows use of some features once you make several clicks to include a "macro" or "plug-in". We use both tools and I get complaints constantly from my team about how complicated Confluence can get just to author a quick page.

Return on Investment

Productivity - Most of all, it allows me to be more productive and have a good sense of where I am with projects and deadlines.
Easy to use - I can make the most of my time to get up (and stay) up and running.
Project coordination - Allows me to assign tasks to my interns and communicate directly within the platform to keep the work train moving.

Having a central documentation allowed users to find data more quickly, which resulted in 50% less "question" type bugs that would appear in our queue.
Collaborating documentation before development resulted in less bugs; this is part process but the ease of sharing and making related documentation easy to access encouraged users into adapting the process.
Increased use in documentation allows support response time to be higher for triage since supporting documentation is ready to go.
