Asana vs Deltek TrafficLIVE

Asana

I can not be happier. My team was using Basecamp but we outgrew it. We moved to Teamwork and clients stopped using it and so did my team. We were in Teamwork for just a month and decided we needed something better. We then found Asana and it has been a breeze since. My team was far happier and ready to use it and my clients started interacting with it again. It is simple to use, yet very powerful

Deltek TrafficLIVE

During our selection process we considered not only what were our specific requirements were but would the whole department and its users welcome and new way of working. Like a number of organisations there is a culture which had to be overcome when you are proposing a change in the process of how the work flow is going to be managed. To avoid any chance of Deltek TrafficLIVE not be taken seriously we under took several workshops with the key stake holders so that they had the option to share their views and recommendations. One of the key questions was how user friendly the new platform would be because if it was not then it would soon be only a few users who could be trusted to use it and just revert to their old ways of working. Another question being who would be the day to day user administrator? The answer being the studio gained a unanimous vote of approval!

Pros

Multiple users can access the program at once without stepping on each other's toes or having to wait until someone is out a project to add something. It is definitely a group friendly program.
We like how visually pleasing it is. It is not at all intimidating to first-time users as it is very user-friendly. You can quickly find what you need and become comfortable with its features and functions.
I personally like being able to assign different tasks to different employees and be able to receive feedback and progress directly from that assigned person as well as view it myself.

Cons

I personally have not found anything that I would recommend at this time. However, I have noticed that the older generation of employees struggle with its style where the computer savvy and younger generation thrive. I have no idea how Asana could overcome that obstacle.

I had a positive experience with it. It was easy to learn and my team really enjoyed collaborating it and assigning projects through this tool. If I could get all staff involved and provide incentives for all of us to use the tool, we would be probably 2x more efficient with our productivity. Everyone has their own tools to manage projects but we should stick to just one tool like Asana.

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 had used Mavenlink in other departments but for the Design, Product Development and R&D teams, Asana made much more sense and we have not regretted the switch for them. The organization is key when forming ideas and doing a bunch of research, it is difficult to keep all of these things organized. This was our main goal when we chose Asana, we had heard good things and wanted those benefits for our team.

We chose Deltek TrafficLIVE after several presentations as to the benefits of its work flow system, and having explained in detail as to what we had to achieve to make our studio much more productive plus being able to monitor the daily pinch points. The overall design, navigation and usability compared to other more complicated products that we had considered was ultimately the decision maker for us.

Visibility of staff utilisation.
Faster invoicing for account managers and invoicing to clients.
Improved collaboration across departments and teams with little effect on the people who need to be creative.
Having the ability to run any kind of operational report - ultimately it's the estimated versus actuals which is what the finance guys love.
