Central hub has unified cross‑department tasks and provides clear ownership and communication
The best features Asana offers, once you become familiar with the system, include clarity in view and tracking of questions. For instance, if information is requested from legal and they respond, a record is maintained to track all comments and keep everyone updated. Having that clear view and record of communication helps the team day to day by allowing management and staff to see current statuses and responsibilities. It clarifies whose responsibility it is and identifies any hold-ups with legal or engineering tasks, which keeps the organization organized. Asana has positively impacted the organization by providing clarity for everyone, allowing visibility into who is working on what, from the VP of Operations down to maintenance, ensuring necessary parts are available. It functions as a clearinghouse for all information. Collaboration has greatly improved with Asana. There is no longer a need to chase down accounting or engineering for project updates because information can be checked through comments. File attachment and messaging capabilities between different groups within Asana are helpful. Email notifications are received for updates relevant to tasks, combining Asana alerts with email for easy visibility. The interface and notifications in Asana are appreciated because it integrates with email. Updates can be received even when not logged in, which keeps you informed. Initially, it takes some time to understand the various details, but after extensive use, it feels second nature. Overall, satisfaction with Asana is high.

Centralized visual workflows have boosted automation and brand control but still need better dev tooling
While Canva Enterprise is a powerhouse, there are specific areas where it could be improved. Currently, Canva provides an Open API specification, but it does not maintain official first-party client libraries for languages like Java or Python. Developers have to use tools like Open API generator to create their own clients. This adds overhead in managing dependencies and ensuring the generated code handles Canva's specific authentication. Canva could release a first-party Java SDK with better support for Maven and Gradle, including built-in retry logic. Another area for improvement is versioning. For developers, versioning usually means a clear history of changes. However, Canva has basic version history that is linear and lacks the branching and merging logic needed for complex projects. Design as Code features could be implemented where templates could be exported as JSON and modified in an integrated development environment. This would allow developers to manage design templates in the same continuous integration and continuous deployment pipeline as their application code. Additionally, Canva currently provides notifications when a design is exported. However, developers need more granular triggers such as comment added, approval rejected, or brand kit element updated. Canva could expand the webhook suite to cover every administrative and creative action, which would allow much tighter integrations with Jira, Slack, or custom internal dashboards.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Asana is the tracking of comments and documents in one place."
"Since we embedded this product in our work flow it allowed us to cut tasks just from the characterization process to the immediate scopes."
"The best features Asana offers include project tracking, communication between project teams, workflow automation, reports and dashboards, and cross-functional coordination."
"The general UI shows progress and data analytics for all projects in progress."
"I find the interface of Asana easy to interact with."
"This solution is great, I have tried a few other work management and project management solutions and this one is the best for my requirements."
"My task box displays all of our tasks, organized by day, helping us to focus on what needs to be done each day."
"It's a great way to organize your daily work within your organization."
"Canva Enterprise has positively impacted my organization; this is the most experienced application I have ever been on, and they have been developing it according to developers' needs, so it is very great in that sense."
"Canva Enterprise has positively impacted my organization by improving team collaboration and productivity."
"Overall, Canva Enterprise is an excellent platform for students, teams, or any user who wants to create professional-looking designs quickly without deep technical knowledge about UI or UX."
"Canva Enterprise has positively impacted my organization as our Canva Enterprise account has multiple sharing capabilities."
"For an organization like ours, it is not just a design tool; it is a productivity operating system that centralizes brand identity and automates content workflow."
"Canva Enterprise has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to easily create graphics, images, and documents, improving team collaboration and dropping our design costs, which are specific outcomes we have noticed."
"We are now able to work 30 to 40% faster than before we implemented Canva Enterprise."
"Canva Enterprise has positively impacted my organization in that it definitely saves time; because we are in a creative field, we need to create more creatives every week, so this saves our time."
 

Cons

"My only feedback or criticism of Asana would be the customer service. It is not amazing."
"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."
"The inbox feature can be a little overwhelming if you are working with Asana just from its project boards and only checking it periodically."
"In some instances, there were subtasks where more than one person needed to review it, but I could only assign it to one person. I would have to create a subtask under a subtask and then assign it to other people. This could be improved."
"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."
"I shouldn't have to use InstaGANTT to get a good view of the projects."
"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."
"The mobile application of Asana has to be improved a lot because no one wants to do a complete project management task on mobile."
"There are many features that are available only in the pro version or are restricted to advanced plan features, which can be costly."
"I think Canva Enterprise can be improved because currently, it is not as powerful as other tools such as Photoshop and Illustrator."
"Currently, Canva provides an Open API specification, but it does not maintain official first-party client libraries for languages like Java or Python."
"Canva Enterprise currently has limited features and is not as powerful as Photoshop or Illustrator."
"Canva Enterprise can be improved in its AI functionality."
"For advanced, complex designs that need to be created, Canva Enterprise is not capable of handling them, which is something that needs to be improved."
"I wish there were multiple options to modify the templates."
"Canva Enterprise needs more features similar to Adobe to improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution is reasonably priced."
"We're on the business tier, which is $25 a month if you're on an annual contract. It's $31 if you're on a month-to-month contract. In my experience, there are no hidden costs with Asana. I know Smartsheet has these add-ons that you can buy, which is an additional cost, but Asana doesn't have any add-ons that I know of. When you're trying to scale the product and want to add users, you have to do it in buckets of five. This is also something to consider."
"For what it brings to the table, I think Asana is fairly affordable. I would like to see the portfolio feature in our pricing plan, but other than that, it's definitely pretty good."
"We paid a monthly licensing fee for the product."
"The solution's free version can be used for basic functions."
"There is a free version of Asana, but we use the paid version to receive all the features we want. The overall price is reasonable."
"I can describe Asana's pricing as a sweet spot since it is neither very high nor very low, especially regarding the value Asana adds to its products...In our company, we use 50 percent of the features provided by Asana, because of which we only pay 50 percent of Asana's total cost."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
