Find out what your peers are saying about monday.com, Microsoft, Asana and others in Project Management Software."The most valuable feature of Asana is the tracking of comments and documents in one place."
"It is stable and easy to set up."
"The ability to share projects and tasks among team members appears to be the most valuable feature."
"I really enjoy the portfolios in Asana. One of the ways Asana stands out to me is with portfolios. You can have all your different projects, and you can have those assigned to different teams. If you want to customize a grouping of projects, you can use portfolios. For instance, one of the things that we do is we can assign a portfolio to a specific strategic objective we have, and we can put all those projects that are related to that strategic objective in that portfolio. We then know exactly what people are working on to help us achieve our goals. So, I really like portfolios."
"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."
"My task box displays all of our tasks, organized by day, helping us to focus on what needs to be done each day."
"Asana, despite its compact size, proves to be incredibly valuable. When initiating a project, it offers the ability to generate a personalized form for clients. In this particular context, my clients include the customer success team and solution architects. This feature allows me to provide them with a convenient means to submit their requests, resembling a ticketing system geared towards internal operations. Moreover, it enables efficient allocation within my team. For instance, if a question pertains to customer success, I can assign it to the CSOps manager and the team. Similarly, if it relates to a specific channel, it can be allocated accordingly."
"We are able to generate many different types of reports from Azure."
"We can eliminate some of the middleman processes."
"What I like most about Azure DevOps is how easy it is to manage projects and control deployments."
"Microsoft Azure DevOps integrates well with other components, such as Synapse, which is a data warehouse tool of Azure. It is a framework platform for BI and integrated with other tools, such as Power BI."
"It's graphical representation and tools are easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it saves time."
"The features of Azure Repos that we find most impactful are those related to source control management within our DevOps code management processes."
"It is good for monitoring purposes. We are using the build pipelines of Microsoft Azure. They are also valuable."
"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 product must reduce the information on the interface."
"This solution has a learning curve, where it is initially difficult to use."
"Having a quick way to do video inside the platform or video communication could be very handy."
"It's difficult to have short-term collaborations with external users because the operations team owns the final licenses, and I work for marketing."
"We'd like the capability to be able to set up weekly reminders."
"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."
"Some updates are outdated, and their functionalities can affect the end outcomes."
"We are facing a lot of issues in the development of containerized solutions. We are facing a lot of challenges in this area. They could make the process simpler."
"Its setup is quite complex."
"Microsoft Azure DevOps could improve by providing better integration with other tools. It is very easy to integrate with Azure, but when you need to integrate with other solutions, such as Amazon Web Services, is difficult."
"I can't think of any specific things at the moment, but I've run into things that I didn't like. I came across something that I wanted to be changed in DevOps, but I can't remember what it was. It was a particular feature I was looking for that I couldn't find."
"In comparison to JIRA, I believe DevOps has very poor reporting and metrics support."
"It is essential that you get buy-in from the top management down to everyone in the pipeline."
"Another area is the Azure monitoring agent for Citrix machines. There's room for improvement there too."
"While reporting in Azure DevOps is a robust capability, there's always room for enhancement, particularly in providing more granular reports."
