Executive Summary

Review summaries and opinions

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

ROI

Sentiment score
6.0
Asana improves productivity and reduces costs, but ROI is unclear in mature organizations needing additional reporting tools.
Sentiment score
6.3
Camunda improves efficiency and productivity, reducing resources and lead times while being cost-effective compared to competitors.
There is no need to juggle multiple conversations across different platforms, and the search engine works effectively, allowing for pulling up historical data efficiently, which ensures all pertinent information is available.
Construction Superintendent at Sila Nanotechnologies Inc.
The efficiency of building the whole project has increased through team management using Asana.
Senior Data Scientist at Evolvision Technologies
However, due to its pricing, I need to be careful about adding each user and feature.
Head of Content Marketing at scion social
I have seen a return on investment where we have fewer resources in development because of Camunda.
Manager at a outsourcing company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Regulatory changes or implementation needs should not take years to resolve, as the value is not just the license cost per number of cases run in the workflow, but how you achieve service enhancement for your company.
Product Owner/Manager at RS2i
When it comes to return on investment for Camunda, regarding process lead time reduction, we see something between 50 to 80 percent easily.
Head of Process Excellence at ODDO-BHF
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score

Asana's customer service is responsive and helpful, but technical support experiences vary, and community resources are less comprehensive.

Technical and Solution Architect at Freelance
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.1
Asana is scalable for small to large teams, with seamless integration, although costs can rise with more licenses.
Sentiment score
6.6
Camunda excels in scalable deployments for various business sizes, with strong architecture but needs better documentation and support.
Asana's scalability is impressive, as the organization has grown from one facility in California to another in Washington State, increasing the workforce from one hundred to about four hundred fifty to five hundred people without any scalability issues throughout a four hundred million dollar construction project.
Construction Superintendent at Sila Nanotechnologies Inc.
Asana's scalability is strong because it works with tools like Microsoft Teams, Slack, Google Workspace, Outlook, Jira, Salesforce, and Power BI.
HITRUST and GRC Consultant at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
Multiple teams and multiple team members can collaborate with each other.
Senior Data Scientist at Evolvision Technologies
Camunda offers a high level of scalability, especially when using its SaaS model, which manages and scales implementations automatically.
Technical and Solution Architect at Freelance
ECS and Fargate make horizontal scalability very easy.
Chief Technology Officer at Looplex SA
They have that REST layer, REST APIs layer that makes it easy to integrate and make it part of a microservices ecosystem and APIs.
Owner at a tech services company with 1-10 employees
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.2
Asana is highly rated for reliability, with users appreciating its stability and quick resolution of occasional downtimes.

7.8
Camunda is highly stable, excelling in reliability despite occasional integration challenges, and supports long-running processes effectively.
I have not experienced any stability problems with Asana.
Senior Data Scientist at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Asana is quite stable; it is a tool I can trust.
Head of Content Marketing at scion social
There haven't been any significant outages in my experience with Camunda.
Technical and Solution Architect at Freelance
We were not really concerned about the performance on the process itself because it was super simple, super straightforward, and it did not present itself as a bottleneck, nor did we feel it was adding additional time in the execution.
Owner at a tech services company with 1-10 employees
For stability, most use cases depend on the workflow engine with Cockpit, which is stable about 98% of the time.
Transformation Manager at Vodafone
 

Room For Improvement

Users find Asana lacking in support, integration, customization, project management features, automation, security, and AI capabilities.
Camunda users seek UI improvements, expanded functionality, better regional support, enhanced security, and improved integration and documentation.
It would be easier if I could assign tasks directly from my email without needing to open Asana.
Head of Content Marketing at scion social
There was no Asana onboarding. They put it all on me and my boss to go through all of the Asana trainings ourselves and then figure it out.
Project Manager at ZERO TO THREE
It would be beneficial to have a native option for Asana to create tickets so we could move away from our main ticketing tool.
NOC Manager at a comms service provider with 51-200 employees
For our implementation, the only issue we have encountered is that when it comes to scaling with external tasks, it struggles on Camunda 7.
Principal Solutions Architect at BT - British Telecom
More open documentation would be beneficial to understand the deployment process better and facilitate easier setup.
Technical and Solution Architect at Freelance
There is an issue where, in some situations, I need to scale up by observing both CPU and memory usage of containers, yet under the current options available at Amazon, this is not possible.
Chief Technology Officer at Looplex SA
 

Setup Cost

Asana offers competitive enterprise pricing with flexible plans, though scaling may increase costs; it's praised for ease and transparency.
Camunda offers free open-source and enterprise plans, starting at $200/month, with enterprise costs around $50,000 annually.
To add one user is expensive, which makes me cautious about upgrading or adding more users.
Head of Content Marketing at scion social
We took Asana on a per-person basis, specifically for 50 people, and I do not remember the exact price, but it was an Enterprise feature.
Sr Technical Product Manager at a tech company with 11-50 employees
AWS pricing is very competitive compared to Azure and cheap compared to Google.
Chief Technology Officer at Looplex SA
I do not know if it is just not possible to run the whole environment at a rate that would be affordable.
Freelance Consultant at a consultancy with self employed
While it might be too expensive for smaller business use cases, if we can automate and have high-value cases, then Camunda's pricing makes sense.
Transformation Manager at Vodafone
 

Valuable Features

Asana enhances productivity and collaboration with customizable views, integrations, AI, automation, real-time updates, and intuitive interfaces.
Camunda offers flexibility, user-friendly interface, BPMN compliance, integration capabilities, scalability, and customization, supporting seamless complex process orchestration.
Asana's automation allows me to automate deadlines and send notifications to the right people about approaching deadlines.
Head of Content Marketing at scion social
Asana has positively impacted the organization by providing clarity for everyone, allowing visibility into who is working on what, from the VP of Operations down to maintenance, ensuring necessary parts are available.

The feature that has made the biggest difference for my team is the cross-functional coordination because it allows communication between the internal team as well as the external teams that are involved in the projects.
HITRUST and GRC Consultant at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
The customer support is outstanding.
Freelance Consultant at a consultancy with self employed
The coexistence that Camunda allows is important because we are connected, using it as an orchestrator for domain controllers and various automation platforms, both legacy and new, ensuring we are independent and can operate across domains.
Transformation Manager at Vodafone
Another feature I value is the intuitiveness of BPMN that allows you to create your UI without needing a developer, which is very helpful.
Manager at a outsourcing company with 1,001-5,000 employees

Featured Reviews

Patrick Conley - PeerSpot reviewer
Construction Superintendent at Sila Nanotechnologies Inc.
Central hub has unified cross‑department tasks and provides clear ownership and communication
The best features Asana offers, once you become familiar with the system, include clarity in view and tracking of questions. For instance, if information is requested from legal and they respond, a record is maintained to track all comments and keep everyone updated. Having that clear view and record of communication helps the team day to day by allowing management and staff to see current statuses and responsibilities. It clarifies whose responsibility it is and identifies any hold-ups with legal or engineering tasks, which keeps the organization organized. Asana has positively impacted the organization by providing clarity for everyone, allowing visibility into who is working on what, from the VP of Operations down to maintenance, ensuring necessary parts are available. It functions as a clearinghouse for all information. Collaboration has greatly improved with Asana. There is no longer a need to chase down accounting or engineering for project updates because information can be checked through comments. File attachment and messaging capabilities between different groups within Asana are helpful. Email notifications are received for updates relevant to tasks, combining Asana alerts with email for easy visibility. The interface and notifications in Asana are appreciated because it integrates with email. Updates can be received even when not logged in, which keeps you informed. Initially, it takes some time to understand the various details, but after extensive use, it feels second nature. Overall, satisfaction with Asana is high.
PV
Workflow orchestration has supported complex enforcement processes and improves human task integration
Areas that have room for improvement in Camunda include the user interface. We moved from Camunda 7 to Camunda 8, and previously we had Camunda 7 Cockpit, and now we have Operate. The UI of Operate is less user-friendly. It may be a little more modern, but it is less user-friendly, so some insights are missed. The UI could be improved. Another topic is something that should have been recently solved in Camunda 8, but in Camunda 7, we had a case management system based on Camunda, and we had our own identifiers in our system. It was easier in Camunda 7 to link these identifications, the business identification to the process identification, and in Camunda 8, this was not implemented until the 8.10 release. We really missed that feature, as it made it very difficult to embed and especially for debugging. The combination with the new Operate instead of Camunda 7 Cockpit made it difficult to find specific running processes. The maintenance of Camunda is somewhat complex. Recently, we had to move from 8.8 to 8.9 or 8.10, and everything was broken, which cost us a lot of time to repair and revert. The complexity is particularly evident because of the architectural changes Camunda made when moving from Camunda 7 to Camunda 8. It took about three years to make Camunda 8 mature, and sometimes it seems they realized they made a wrong decision by switching to a completely different approach. It is not just a matter of pushing a button and installing it; it has a bigger impact than expected, which is indeed one of the downsides we recently faced. The ability to observe and control processes at runtime, related to Operate, rates at a six in my assessment, so that could definitely be improved.
