Omotosho Andrea - PeerSpot reviewer
Versatile productivity tool that requires commitment and a learning curve
I have experience using both Asana and Notion and when it comes to choosing between the two, I find myself leaning more towards Notion. While Asana is undoubtedly a good tool, I have some reservations about its design and interface. Notion, on the other hand, has a great design and interface. Asana is effective for task management, but I didn't connect with it as much, since I didn't use it extensively. My experience with Notion has been different and I quickly grasped its capabilities and enjoyed the learning process. It encourages a more technical approach with features like formulas and the ability to create customized databases, which I appreciate. It allows users to bring their ideas to life without being limited by pre-defined structures.
Jacob Shetty - PeerSpot reviewer
A cost-effective project management tool that can be deployed in a very less time-frame
I have been using it for the last eight years overall, the applications, and they've come a long way now. It's really good and intuitive at this stage. However, I still feel that they could do a little bit more in terms of application integrations, like the third-party ones. That could be useful. There are a bunch of its integrations with third parties, but probably a little more would be better. The telephone support provided by the support team should become better. Regarding adding features or functions to Zoho projects, I think I would add more reporting tools to the solution. Some of the default reports in Zoho Projects are obviously useful, but I would like to add some more analytics based on all the activities taking place in Zoho Projects. I would prefer to build my own custom report and all those sorts of things.

"Zoho Projects is very flexible and user-friendly."
"The solution's most valuable features are automation and integration with different products and third-party applications."
"While integrating a voice solution with Zoho Projects, the focus was on creating a unified interface for voice and customer engagement across various platforms like Facebook, social media, and emails. The primary goal was to seamlessly merge the two platforms into a single interface. To achieve this, we engaged in API integrations and worked on aspects such as initializing, authentication, and access control."

Cons

"Adding more color options to the application would enhance its usability and flexibility, allowing users to better customize their content"
