I like that it integrates with other software. It doesn't allow me to manage projects by hour.

Pros and Cons

"I like that it integrates with a lot of other software."

"I shouldn't have to use InstaGANTT to get a good view of the projects."

What is most valuable?

I like that it integrates with a lot of other software.

What needs improvement?

I shouldn't have to use InstaGANTT to get a good view of the projects. Also, it doesn't allow me to manage projects by hour. Finally, I want to look at sub-tasks on the top-level view.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have used it for one year.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

We have not encountered any deployment issues.

Review about Asana

Pros and Cons

"The structure of organizing tasks is ideal for me."
"The structure of organizing tasks is ideal for me and it's far more intuitive than other project management tools I've used, like Basecamp."

Valuable Features:

The structure of organizing tasks is ideal for me. I've used a variety of project management tools like Basecamp and they aren't nearly as intuitive.

Improvements to My Organization:

One page of glass for the entire marketing team to get all the information they need, even if they didn't attend any of the meetings. Great for historical archiving as well as new tasks.

Room for Improvement:

I haven't reached the point where I've maximized the functionality or was looking for something that wasn't there. I recently started using the API with Slack, but haven't seen any issues so far.

You can add pics and share them like any other remark or note.

Pros and Cons

"Since we embedded this product in our work flow it allowed us to cut tasks just from the characterization process to the immediate scopes."

"They always keep the feel of being in a Beta version, and every new feature requires money."

Valuable Features:

Improvements to My Organization:

Since we embedded this product in our work flow allowed us to cut tasks just from the characterization process to the immediate scopes.

Room for Improvement:

They should take more steps forward in all modules that relate to employees management. They have all the information so they should offer more advanced data mining tools, and even some simple tools such as task timer etc.

Deployment Issues:

We had no deployment issues.

Stability Issues:

There have been no issues with the stability.

Scalability Issues:

We have had no issues scaling this for our needs.

Cost and Licensing Advice:

They always keep the feel of being in a Beta version, and every new feature requires money.

Other Advice:

Don't lose touch with your old methods, because this find product hasn't yet defined itself, so you can't count and adapt it completely. I would wait until the interface and the services bank will fulfill their potential.

I've found that for certain clients, it's cost effective for inviting outsourced resources to contribute to specific projects.

Pros and Cons

"For a free solution, it does provide a lot of value."

"When evaluating project management software, the fundamental requirement I consider remains its ability to provide me a high level of view of all areas of the project so I can drill down to what is immediately relevant. Asana does an OK job of this, but not as good as some of the alternatives out there."

What is most valuable?

The visual thumbnails for viewing appended image files to a project are very helpful.

How has it helped my organization?

For certain clients, this is a cost effective means of inviting outsourced resources to contribute to specific projects.

What needs improvement?

When evaluating project management software, the fundamental requirement I consider remains its ability to provide me a high level of view of all areas of the project so I can drill down to what is immediately relevant.

Asana does an OK job of this, but not as good as some of the alternatives out there.

For how long have I used the solution?

One year.

It provides an overview of all tasks and helps us determine whether we're on the right track within a project's deadlines.

Pros and Cons
