Efficient workflows and real-time updates boost productivity
What I appreciate about Asana is the easy way to get the data we need for the reports because we are moving all our tickets. We are making a copy from our main ticket system to Asana because our main ticket system is not giving us what we are looking for, so we need to process everything in Asana. We get the dashboard and analytical reports, so we can have a summary of what has been done in which department we are working with or helping. We can see how many requests for each department we are having. The easy way to get all the analytics at the end of the month or year is the most important feature, and that's why we are still with Asana. The benefits I see with Asana are the main tools because of the integration this tool has. For example, we are making tickets but receiving requests through email, and we have the integration with Outlook and Google. We have the add-ins, so we are making the ticket on our main system while replying to the mail, and simultaneously taking this mail to complete our ticket for our Asana project. The time we are investing through departments with Asana is valuable because we are receiving requests or updates for projects without investing time in meetings or writing emails. Because of the integration we have, we just create a project and everyone with specific tasks moves on their tasks, and we receive the updates. We created a bot that gives us updates automatically. Asana provides automation because we receive these updates the moment they happen without anyone needing to tell us they completed tasks or moved on to others. Asana's cloud deployment has been beneficial for our remote or hybrid team operations. If someone is onsite and someone is working from home, everyone can work on the same project through automation. The person from home doesn't need to be on an infinite call with management or coworkers. They can work in real time, and once someone completes a prerequisite task from home, the people onsite will know it and get the green flag to continue their assigned tasks. It has benefits for anyone, including personal uses.

A desktop-based application, allowing the creation of multiple flows, but should provide a mobile version
It is a versatile tool suitable for various tasks, including process modeling. It is flexible when saving multiple formats, not just XML. It provides this offering, unlike other platforms like Cloud.io or SIP Chart. Additionally, it is a desktop-based application, allowing for the creation of multiple flows that can be easily accessed and edited. In contrast, other platforms like Product.io may have limitations, such as the inability to reopen previously built flows once logged off, necessitating a rebuild each time.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"It's an easy way to communicate."
"I love the way it monitors all of the current and past projects, and it sends notifications to keep everything on the track."
"The most valuable feature of Asana is the tracking of comments and documents in one place."
"I like how easy it is to use the rules within Asana."
"What I like the most about Asana is its API integrations because we use a lot of cluttered toolsets in our company since we need to cater to different clients, for which its integration gives us a lot of flexibility."
"Asana's most valuable aspect is its ability to consolidate all tasks and projects onto a single board, allowing for seamless navigation through timelines from start to finish. Additionally, it enables the inclusion of key stakeholders and provides a private communication channel for discreet discussions. The organizational component of Asana is particularly beneficial, including its coding features."
"Asana has a wonderful user experience that is very easy to interact with and has tons of integrations with other products and tools."
"Online Collaboration made it easy to brainstorm."
"Miro's flexibility is a main feature. It provides boards where I can put whatever is needed without limits."
"As a consultant managing multiple projects, I find Miro's collaboration features highly beneficial."
"Integrations with so many other tools make this platform highly useful."
"The product's initial setup phase is simple and straightforward."
"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."
 

Cons

"There just needs to be a bit more direction on how to use it at the outset."
"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."
"Some customizations and functions are still not available, however, so far, they haven't been a deal killer."
"The documentation could be enhanced by incorporating more visually informative videos that demonstrate how to accomplish specific tasks. While Asana's community support is valuable for answering questions, finding precise answers often requires sifting through multiple posts. Having concise and explanatory videos would greatly improve the user experience. When searching on platforms like Google, there are many individuals sharing their approaches to using Asana. However, the information provided is often not directly applicable to one's specific needs. Therefore, it would be advantageous to have comprehensive video tutorials that address common user queries. This would provide a more efficient and intuitive way of accessing information, especially when it comes to learning how to navigate and utilize Asana's features effectively."
"It would be beneficial if Asana had a predecessor feature that automatically adjusts all subsequent dates when changes are made to a timeline. For example, if I assign a designer four hours for one task and two days for another, and the completion of a task takes longer than anticipated, it would be convenient if updating one date could prompt the adjustment of all other relevant dates. Essentially, this feature would streamline the process and eliminate the need for manual adjustments."
"There is room for improvement in integrating Asana with different technology vendors."
"On the development side for technical project management, Asana is missing features. We only use it for discussing tasks and strategies, and we use it for customer to-do lists. It doesn't have the source code integration that Jira and Jira Service Desk both have."
"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."
"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."
"The solution could be available on mobile."
"The product subscription is very expensive. The pricing could be better."
"Maybe at some point, Miro should be able to use AI to provide analysis from the brainstorming sessions or files fed into it."
"I would like to see enhancements in Miro, especially when working with tables like Excel."
"It should have a desktop version."
"The text customization inside objects needs some enhancement, especially for the text written in rectangle shapes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is $25 US per unit per month."
"This solution is reasonably priced."
"There is a free version of Asana, but we use the paid version to receive all the features we want. The overall price is reasonable."
"We paid a monthly licensing fee for the product."
"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."
"Price-wise, I think it's an affordable option for mid to large-sized companies."
"The solution's free version can be used for basic functions."
"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."
"The product's price is low. Monthly and yearly subscriptions are available when it comes to the licensing part of the product."
"The product costs approximately $300 per user."
