Overall Satisfaction with Asana
We use Asana across our production team to manage projects as a whole and individual tasks within those projects.
- Asana is a great, no nonsense project management solution. It gives several simple views and ways to present tasks and projects and automations within those projects.
- Asana offers Gantt charts, calendar views, board views, and list views. It gives you access to views that many other solutions hide behind high paywalls.
- The price is right for Asana (at least from what I've found). Asana was much cheaper than the major alternatives that offered the features that my team needed such as Gantt charts.
- Some of the upper level project management tools and high level views of multiple projects are hidden behind the MUCH higher priced premium plan. This was also a recent split which hid some features previously included in the standard plan behind this paywall.
- It doesn't have a great overall view for all projects that you have going on. There's a calendar for tasks and a list for projects but not a clear way to signify what stage each other project is in or give some that at a glance info to a manager or owner. Maybe that is included in the expensive premium plan.
- Asana has helped us cut down on management time and meetings.
Asana is simpler and easier to manage than Teamwork Projects and Wrike for smaller teams, but still offers more features than Basecamp and requires a lot less customization than monday.com.
