Stands out with portfolios, easy setup, and real-time information, but needs big improvement when it comes to workflows, automation, and dashboards
Their workflows and automation could use a big improvement. I don't even know if they have anything in that regard right now. I would really love to see a way where you can send custom alerts based on a task's completion or status change or an approval coming through. I would love to see a way to get some low-code functionality into Asana because right now, that is a big miss. On top of that, their dashboards are incredibly lacking. The way the widgets connect to the projects, they don't pull the data in the way that I really want them to. When I build a dashboard in Asana versus Smartsheet, I can't pull in data via a custom text field in Asana, but in Smartsheet, I can. That's a huge advantage because sometimes, you just want to report on really niche tasks or a launch date in a specific project or a collection of projects, and Smartsheet's dashboard features will let you do that, but Asana won't. So, their dashboards are lacking, and the workflows are pretty below where the market is right now. I would love to see a complete revamp of how they do dashboards right now. Dashboards are really poor. They don't display information well, and they don't look good. They don't pull in data in an advanced search kind of way. They are very simplistic. If you're a traditional project manager and you're PMP certified and you understand project management, you're going to be very frustrated with Asana's dashboards because they do not speak the language of project management. That's because of the way they are set up. So, I would like to see that completely revamped. It's just not an industry standard.

A highly scalable tool that offers users the ability to use it for international projects
The most valuable feature of the solution is the functionality that it offers since the performance part is not so critical as you only use it to upload or download documents and create tasks. Celoxis is not used for very high transaction requirements. My company did not face any issues with Celoxis's performance. Celoxis was quite quick, and its functionality was rich, prompting my company to integrate it with many other project management features for which we previously used several other systems. Celoxis replaced and offered a product that was an integration of Excel and Microsoft Project into a single suite.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution scales well."
"The general UI shows progress and data analytics for all projects in progress."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its project management tracking systems."
"By using this software, I have adaptability in my work, and it can improve the production of our company."
"It is very good for managing the timeline. I'm a quality manager, and I have different testing projects running with different work breakdown structures. Asana makes it very easy to implement and monitor the plans. It is easy to move the tasks and complete them, break them down, and assign them to people."
"I like how easy it is to use the rules within Asana."
"Asana provides a lot of options and a lot of customization to give the best efficient way for your business to operate. For example, I can customize my tasks, tables, and pipelines the way I want them to fit my business model. It's easy and highly customizable."
"The solution appears to be quite stable."
"Celoxis is scalable in terms of the number of users or the number of projects that the product can handle. Even the storage that is available for a project is scalable in Celoxis."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in integrating Asana with different technology vendors."
"The integration with email should be more seamless. When I'm writing an email and want to tag someone in Asana for a task, the process should be smoother."
"We tried, but we haven't been successful with it. If people don't have the training, it is not easy to use. You need to make sure that the people are trained to use the system. They can provide more resources in the form of webcasts and videos that people can use to train themselves and understand how to use it."
"More features can be added."
"The solution can be difficult for new users to use because of the interface."
"If you have been using a tool like Jira for many years, it make time some time to get used to the minimalist layout in Asana."
"This solution has a learning curve, where it is initially difficult to use."
"There just needs to be a bit more direction on how to use it at the outset."
"One feature in Celoxis that is quite hard to understand and set up is its access management part."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price is fair. Its licensing cost is cheaper than Microsoft Project. I would rate it a two out of five in terms of pricing."
"We paid a monthly licensing fee for the product."
"The price of this solution makes it quite accessible, and the plans fit my budget."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"This solution is reasonably priced."
"I can describe Asana's pricing as a sweet spot since it is neither very high nor very low, especially regarding the value Asana adds to its products...In our company, we use 50 percent of the features provided by Asana, because of which we only pay 50 percent of Asana's total cost."
"Asana has two different types of structures: company vs workspace. Company is really best if all the users you plan to assign work to are all internal (have the same corporate domain in their user ID email address). Once one person signs up (even for a free account) with a corporate email address, Asana will automatically relate that person to that company, if it already exists. If you plan to use it for external collaboration as well as internal, then creating a workspace is a better approach."
"Price-wise, I think it's an affordable option for mid to large-sized companies."
"Though I am unsure, I guess that my company pays around 20 to 25 USD every month for every user."
