Find out what your peers are saying about monday.com, Microsoft, Asana and others in Project Management Software."Asana has helped me (as an individual contributor) organize my daily work and given me a way to plan for longer term objectives."
"Asana, despite its compact size, proves to be incredibly valuable. When initiating a project, it offers the ability to generate a personalized form for clients. In this particular context, my clients include the customer success team and solution architects. This feature allows me to provide them with a convenient means to submit their requests, resembling a ticketing system geared towards internal operations. Moreover, it enables efficient allocation within my team. For instance, if a question pertains to customer success, I can assign it to the CSOps manager and the team. Similarly, if it relates to a specific channel, it can be allocated accordingly."
"Asana allows you to create your own project with sub sections with subtasks that can be assigned. The feature I really love is that you can tag people to notify them that there has been progress on a project as well as add attachments."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The ability to build subtasks and break things down off of our major tasks has been very valuable. It is very stable and extremely scalable. The initial setup is very simple."
"Asana is a very simple interface for project managers to figure out, providing all the functions they need."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its project management tracking systems."
"The solution scales well."
"It's very user-friendly, and the documentation is good. The most valuable feature is backlog item creation, where we pick features and other things. The burndown chart created for projects to be maintained by the development teams is also useful."
"In Microsoft Azure DevOps, you have a one shop to get everything."
"If someone is considering developing and deploying the infrastructure in this solution, then using this tool is perfect because it's fully integrated with the pipelines and with a server core repository."
"The most valuable features are continuous integration and deployment, and simplicity."
"Provides us with user histories."
"Valuable features for project management and tracking in Azure DevOps include a portal displaying test results, check-in/check-out activity, and developer/tester productivity."
"Microsoft has good integration with its other products, such as Office, Teams, et cetera."
"The features of Azure Repos that we find most impactful are those related to source control management within our DevOps code management processes."
"The calendar view in Asana has shortcomings and can be improved."
"Auto-shift is an essential feature for planning, but it's currently not there. It should have this feature so that when you move a task that depends on another task, the dates should be auto-shifted. For example, you have two tasks dependent on each other. When the parent task is moved or delayed, the child task should also be delayed, and the date should be shifted. When we have a very long timeline, it's very complex to go task by task and shift the dates on the task. Auto-shift is a fantastic and basic feature of project management, and having such a feature in Asana would make our lives much easier. If Asana added this feature, it would complete the suit and close the project management cycle because currently, there is a gap."
"A user should be able to identify an assignee for specific tasks or task types while applying the template, or at a minimum, allow for a default assignee. As it is, the template gets created with the just task dates driven by the project start and end dates inputted by the user. In my current situation, I'm assigning myself to many tasks, so I have to do that manually every time. Even if I eventually start adding other people to assign tasks, there won't be more than a handful to do. However, those few people will have multiple tasks. It would be nice to be able to select those individuals during the setup rather than having to do so manually once the project has been created."
"Having a quick way to do video inside the platform or video communication could be very handy."
"The messaging feature could be better."
"For large teams, scalability should be improved."
"We don't get enough notifications."
"The product's page is not user-friendly."
"Something that could be improved is the initial setup with the integration of ReadyAPI."
"Microsoft Azure DevOps could improve by providing better integration with other tools. It is very easy to integrate with Azure, but when you need to integrate with other solutions, such as Amazon Web Services, is difficult."
"The functions have too much dependency right now, so it makes it really, really hard to upgrade and make a change in the code."
"The active directory password system needs some improvement because many times the password for the active directory expires before the set time."
"Templates could be improved."
"All of the tests of the applications are done on the mobile or web interface and it could be improved."
"I would like to see DevOps have the ability to give us something with a compatibility or traceability matrix."
"Microsoft could improve Visual Studio by making it easier to find the plugins you need to get your job done. Maybe they could implement an AI search instead of a simple tech search. Sometimes, people come up with a catchy name for something, and you don't know how it's spelled. For example, a developer might come up with a packet wizard and spell weird, like P-A-K-I-T."
