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."
"My task box displays all of our tasks, organized by day, helping us to focus on what needs to be done each day."
"The only thing I love about the product is that it is beautiful."
"The solution's user interface is very good."
"Asana has a wonderful user experience that is very easy to interact with and has tons of integrations with other products and tools."
"It's an easy way to communicate."
"Asana provides a lot of options and a lot of customization to give the best efficient way for your business to operate. For example, I can customize my tasks, tables, and pipelines the way I want them to fit my business model. It's easy and highly customizable."
"It is pretty comprehensive when it comes to the different views that it gives you. It gives you a Gantt chart view, calendar view, board view, and list view. It is kind of helpful to have different types of views and see how it views your different tasks. I appreciate being able to do that. The biggest thing is that it is extremely user friendly. Asana is pretty intuitive. Someone who is not tech-savvy can kind of catch on quickly. It is better than other tools like Smartsheet. Some of the other tools like Microsoft Project and Excel are great tools, but you have to invest a lot of time to learn them, which is not the case with Asana."
"My team likes the integration that Microsoft Azure DevOps has with GitHub and Microsoft Teams. The solution is well integrated with other Microsoft tools in one place, it is very good."
"The user interface is very friendly."
"I think the most usable thing is that you can follow the whole progress of the development process. This makes it very useful for us."
"The product is easy to use...It is a stable solution."
"The available Kanban board is the best feature for management decisions."
"Detailed logs allow us to pinpoint the exact cause of any issues, making troubleshooting efficient and accurate."
"It's got something that you won't find in other products."
"The automated bill feature is most valuable. As with most software developers, I can build code on my machine, but if one of my coworkers can't build the same code on theirs, there are always issues in trying to track it down. The automated bill process makes it a lot easier to track down where the issues are and find out what bugs aren't being included for whatever reason."
"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."
"More features can be added."
"The product's page is not user-friendly."
"Currently, there are only a few available options, but it would be helpful to have more control over the notifications received."
"We'd like the capability to be able to set up weekly reminders."
"There just needs to be a bit more direction on how to use it at the outset."
"Some updates are outdated, and their functionalities can affect the end outcomes."
"Auto-shift is an essential feature for planning, but it's currently not there. It should have this feature so that when you move a task that depends on another task, the dates should be auto-shifted. For example, you have two tasks dependent on each other. When the parent task is moved or delayed, the child task should also be delayed, and the date should be shifted. When we have a very long timeline, it's very complex to go task by task and shift the dates on the task. Auto-shift is a fantastic and basic feature of project management, and having such a feature in Asana would make our lives much easier. If Asana added this feature, it would complete the suit and close the project management cycle because currently, there is a gap."
"Its interface could be more user-friendly. It could be simplified for users with no prior knowledge. There should also be better tutorials."
"The testing environment and different pipelining concepts can be improved."
"I would like to see improvement in the metrics and the dependencies."
"In comparison to JIRA, I believe DevOps has very poor reporting and metrics support."
"I have not been able to use the integration with automation features, such as test management automation, with a framework that is written in Java."
"The active directory password system needs some improvement because many times the password for the active directory expires before the set time."
"We are facing some problems because the capacity can only be measured within a project. It cannot be measured across multiple projects. So, the reporting needs to be enhanced, and there should be more graphs to be able to easily give the upper management insights about all the employees from different departments. It will be helpful for employee management. Currently, the managers over here are using Power BI for insights because the functionality of Azure DevOps Boards is not enough. So, we have to export the data into another visualization tool and get the results."
"Proper Gantt charting should be a feature that is included because as it is now, we have to create it ourselves."
