Wiredrive

The companies with whom I work that do not use Wiredrive use Simian, Get-A-Reel and in one case, a proprietary platform designed in house. These systems are not as fast, the content not as well organized and the analytics not revealing. These are the issues I bring up with these companies and the questions I would pose to a prospective user

Pros

Report of tasks added to tasks completed to see how productive the team has been with a particular project.
Individual tasks so you can see how swamped/not others on the team are.
Adding a project/task to multiple projects is awesome. We have a general ALL marketing projects in one project and then separate them out in another (email, social media, etc.).

Provides many options for file previews. Links can be created and shared amongst parties that do not have access/an account, and permissions to these files can be easily added/removed.
Approval and feedback features make it possible to receive very specific information, to the frame and second marker, which helps immensely avoid any miscommunications.
Customization of sub-folder directories and organization by client preference is pivotal.

Cons

I wish Asana had more customizable reporting. One of the benefits of using Asana is that you can track tasks and actually use those tasks to build repeatable processes, but decoding reports can be challenging.
Asana's printing functionality needs improvement. You can use Asana tasks to create agendas, for example, but it's not possible to print a clean agenda to share with a group who's not on Asana and/or doesn't have their computer at a meeting.

Copy feature for files. I often need to copy a file to more than one additional folder and cannot do this easily, nor quickly at the moment.

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.

I feel we are only scratching the surface of the current offerings, so further investigation is needed. Also, future developments and current impressive client base are additional selling points.

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

Asana lets you view things in tasks. Trello is more geared toward projects with their board layout. I find Asana to have the best user interface of all project management softwares. It may be missing some functionality (like budgeting and time tracking -- which you can add on with integrations), but I feel that I can actually use it. With the other project management tools I get frustrated by trying to figure them out that I don't use them at all

EASE OF USE. There are so many options and offerings in all of these tools, but the UI/UX design and intuitiveness for accomplishing tasks is far superior than the other tools I've tested and utilized.
