Asana vs Roadmunk

Asana

Asana functions particularly well in scenarios with well-established teams with well-established processes and a mature SDLC. The reason is that Asana can be configured to do many, many different things, and be used in many, many different ways, and with that power comes a lot of responsibility to figure out your process before you try and automate it. It's software, not magic.

Pros

Cross-team communication is always a challenge, but Asana helps make information transparent and accessible to all members of the team.
It's easy to share with individuals outside of the organization and still control the flow of information.
Being able to link in other design resources like InVision prototypes is a huge time saver.
Integrating with Slack makes much of our necessary communication automatic.

Cons

Asana does a lot, so it can sometimes be hard to find the right place to be to find the tools you need.
Organization is only as good as you make it and just because a system makes sense to the person that creates it does not mean it will make sense to anyone else.
It can be challenging to find the information you need via search.

The biggest issue with Roadmunk is that it doesn't allow setting up sprints (2 weeks period of time) that are essential in dealing with Agile
Multiple milestones and projects can visually overlap and make the roadmap difficult to read

Asana8.3

Based on 2 answers

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).

Alternatives Considered

We loved the fun design hacks (e.g., flying celebratory unicorns when you complete a task, Tab+B puts tabby cats on your screen temporarily; themed backgrounds). We're marketers–can you blame us?! But in all seriousness, we chose Asana over other similar products because of the detail that Asana could go into when tasking out subtasks to individuals with separate deadlines. Managers are also able to view the tasks that team members are working on to manage workload. It's also helped increase visibility of task details amongst team members to provide background on projects they might be looped into in the future.

In my opinon Roadmunk has the best UX and very friendly interface. The decision to purchase Roadmunk was based also on the great customer service and help provided by the team. Roadmunk team is open to suggestions and is constantly working on their product. It's great to see how it is evolving
