TeamGantt

TeamGantt is well suited for project managers who want an easy way to visualize and keep track of schedules. It is easy to move things around once the schedule has been created, but dependencies are sometimes messed up because of this. I like how the bars change color when a task has been completed.

Pros

Assigning deadlines to staff that you're working with directly to make sure they meet them in order to achieve success.
Making sure we know which team member has completed a project so we do not take on that project or have to wonder if it has been completed or not.
Keeping all projects organized so we meet deadlines and move quickly on to other tasks.

Cons

I think Asana could do a better job of touring new users through the functionality. It's not necessarily intuitive for when there is a button to do something or when you simply press Enter. You do see tooltips with hotkeys at the bottom of many pages, so that definitely helps.
One problem, and I'm not really sure if it's on Asana to fix this, but actually getting people to take the time to use any project management tool can be trying. Folks are already trying to get their work done and have their own pen-and-paper ToDo lists, or keep a running list in their email. So to get people to take the time to use this project management tool might take some convincing. However, I think once they start using it they'll find out how beneficial it can be.
One feature I guess I haven't seen is the ability to create a private ToDo list that only you can see. Allowing the user to privately add tasks and prioritize them without being open to the whole company/management.

Adding milestones into the schedule is difficult.
Moving things around is difficult because of dependencies that you may have set up.
It is sometimes difficult to visualize the big picture because you have to scroll very far to the right in order to see the whole schedule.

Asana10.0

Based on 32 answers

The version of Asana that I'm using is free and works amazingly for my needs. If I were part of a larger organization that was going to pay for a project management solution, I would definitely recommend Asana. It is a very polished and feature-packed product that was designed with a focus on usability and functionality. The only thing that would make me recommend something else would be some unforeseen feature that I don't know I need yet.

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

Asana was developed with a very specific function in mind. Assigning and tracking tasks and projects. It does this very very well and doesn't really do a whole lot yes, which is perfectly fine. The only alternatives I could think of would be some sort of Dropbox or Google Drive document keeping track of task assignment. While, this might work, it's definitely not as feature-packed as Asana. And you'll still use either Dropbox or Google Drive for document collaboration.

I like TeamGantt better than Project Gantt because it is easier to print which is super important. TeamGantt allows you to have many different users with the same account for free. My company does not pay for this resource so that was extremely important in making this decision. I like how TeamGantt allows you to have categories and then subcategories on the schedule.
