We performed a comparison between Asana and JIRA Portfolio based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Project Management Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution's user interface is very good."
"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."
"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 is a very simple interface for project managers to figure out, providing all the functions they need."
"This solution is easier and faster to use compared to Jira. It's not very structured and you can add sub-tasks and issues easily."
"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."
"The solution is very stable."
"The way to manage cards as a KANBAN, is really easy but when you need to track hundreds of projects, you need to be very clear in which way the things must be completed."
"The documentation is very well done."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The most valuable feature of the JIRA Portfolio is the many features it provides, such as code integration, documentation, roadmap, and Eclipse. The solution is useful for product managers."
"The product's integration capabilities work pretty well, especially considering that more tools are always needed in enterprise-sized businesses."
"The product's centralized database creates a single source of data for working groups so no data needs to be reconciled."
"Portfolio's best feature is integration with other JIRA products."
"The inbox feature can be a little overwhelming if you are working with Asana just from its project boards and only checking it periodically."
"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."
"We'd like the capability to be able to set up weekly reminders."
"It would be great if Asana could create a library for each project within the interface."
"The stability of Asana is good. However, there are some issues with maintenance, when the solution is down. For example, there might be maintained for a few hours where we cannot use the solution."
"The mobile application of Asana has to be improved a lot because no one wants to do a complete project management task on mobile."
"Some customizations and functions are still not available, however, so far, they haven't been a deal killer."
"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."
"Their interface is a little unique and I think that's partly because the core of the product has morphed into several sub-products, but the underlying architecture has stayed the same on all of them in that it was originally a help desk ticketing system. It's a very tech-focused product and that's fair given its origins, but if they really want to expand their community of users, then they're going to have to move beyond that a little bit and polish it up."
"The product could do with more flexible reporting."
"An improvement would be if Portfolio were integrated with Office 365."
"Our major team does not control or manage JIRA server well since sometimes there is trouble using the solution, which is a problem. The solution's speed needs to be improved."
"Requires some effort to insert functionalities and that could be simplified."
"The workflow needs improvement."
"There should be an integration of efforts between the cloud service providers' side and JIRA Portfolio."
"The integration needs to be done with different tools."
