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.

Easy integrations, in-built templates, and lots of training videos
The solution has many valuable aspects, including: * Easy to build flowcharts with just drag and drop capabilities * Integrations with so many other tools make this platform highly useful * Prebuilt templates * Ability to share files through various channels and formats * Easy flowing. Much better that Mural where the user experience was a bit clunky * Ability for multiple people top work on the same board at the same time -- hence very useful for team brainstorming sessions * Competitive pricing * Lot of training videos available * Easy to scale * Ease of integration with other platforms

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I love the way it monitors all of the current and past projects, and it sends notifications to keep everything on the track."
"The solution's user interface is very good."
"The way it handles the task is good. The whole team needs to organize all our tasks using Asana. It helps to clarify and allows us to prioritize tasks effectively."
"By using this software, I have adaptability in my work, and it can improve the production of our company."
"It's an easy way to communicate."
"What I like most about Asana is its simplicity. For example: we're not the only ones using it, and we onboard our customers to it, and normally, they have no questions."
"I like how easy it is to use the rules within Asana."
"Stable Kanban style tool for collaboration and task management. It runs smoothly and has a straightforward setup."
"Miro's flexibility is a main feature. It provides boards where I can put whatever is needed without limits."
"Online Collaboration made it easy to brainstorm."
"It is a versatile tool suitable for various tasks, including process modeling."
"The solution's UI is very user-friendly, and it is not that hard to define the shapes you are looking for or to import them."
"Miro significantly enhances brainstorming sessions."
"The product's initial setup phase is simple and straightforward."
"Integrations with so many other tools make this platform highly useful."
"As a consultant managing multiple projects, I find Miro's collaboration features highly beneficial."
 

Cons

"Having a quick way to do video inside the platform or video communication could be very handy."
"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."
"The mobile application of Asana has to be improved a lot because no one wants to do a complete project management task on mobile."
"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."
"More features can be added."
"This solution has a learning curve, where it is initially difficult to use."
"For large teams, scalability should be improved."
"There is room for improvement in integrating Asana with different technology vendors."
"The solution could be available on mobile."
"It should have a desktop version."
"The product subscription is very expensive. The pricing could be better."
"I would like to see enhancements in Miro, especially when working with tables like Excel."
"The text customization inside objects needs some enhancement, especially for the text written in rectangle shapes."
"Maybe at some point, Miro should be able to use AI to provide analysis from the brainstorming sessions or files fed into it."
"When I imported an image to Miro, my friend saw it differently from what I saw when I changed the size of it."
"I don't see the need to have updates in the product every other month or every other day."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Price-wise, I think it's an affordable option for mid to large-sized companies."
"The price of this solution makes it quite accessible, and the plans fit my budget."
"For what it brings to the table, I think Asana is fairly affordable. I would like to see the portfolio feature in our pricing plan, but other than that, it's definitely pretty good."
"We're on the business tier, which is $25 a month if you're on an annual contract. It's $31 if you're on a month-to-month contract. In my experience, there are no hidden costs with Asana. I know Smartsheet has these add-ons that you can buy, which is an additional cost, but Asana doesn't have any add-ons that I know of. When you're trying to scale the product and want to add users, you have to do it in buckets of five. This is also something to consider."
"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."
"This solution is reasonably priced."
"The solution's free version can be used for basic functions."
"The product costs approximately $300 per user."
"The product's price is low. Monthly and yearly subscriptions are available when it comes to the licensing part of the product."
"The initial cost of Miro was a bit high for me as a small company. However, considering its many benefits and the number of projects I have, it's reasonable and worth the investment."
