Task tracking has streamlined sprint work but complex navigation still needs simplification

Asana's UI is a little bit too complex for me. Sometimes I get confused. Sometimes I mis-navigate. Asana is a very complicated product, but if it could offer a different kind of UI for different types of people, that would be better. This UI is good for a power user, but for a normal user who just comes to see what their tasks are, a simplified UI would be more appropriate. Sometimes the navigation is a little bit clunky. Sometimes I click back on things that I do not want to click back on. Everything else is good, and the UI is the only part that I see could use a little bit of improvement.

Ensures data consistency and improves stakeholder transparency while needing pricing adjustments

It is beneficial to have the schedule updated so you can have control of the cost. When you have a change in the schedule, you can also make a change in the cost. For us, it is mostly important to control dates and to be on time, but also to know the cash flow. With both of our clients, they use Power BI extensively. Though it may not be the best solution, they have all the tools connected to Power BI, which they primarily use for reporting. The integration with Unifier, which is also an Oracle tool, ensures that the data is correct and timely. The connection between Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management and Unifier is not difficult to establish, and the information obtained is really reliable.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Asana allows you to create your own project with sub sections with subtasks that can be assigned. The feature I really love is that you can tag people to notify them that there has been progress on a project as well as add attachments."

"Asana has a wonderful user experience that is very easy to interact with and has tons of integrations with other products and tools."

"The ability to share projects and tasks among team members appears to be the most valuable feature."

"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."

"It is stable and easy to set up."

"Asana has positively impacted my organization by providing flexibility, improving time to market, and enhancing collaboration."

"I would recommend Asana to others."

"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."

More Asana pros

"Delay analysis and extension of time claims are some of the key features."

"The most valuable features were the cost breakdown structure and work breakdown structure."

"The integration with Unifier, which is also an Oracle tool, ensures that the data is correct and timely."

"The ability to streamline the process of obtaining signatures from our contractors is valuable."

"The solution's tech support is good."

"The most valuable feature of Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management is accuracy."

"Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management is a well-engineered product from an IT perspective."

More Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management pros

Cons

"Currently, there are only a few available options, but it would be helpful to have more control over the notifications received."

"The mobile application of Asana has to be improved a lot because no one wants to do a complete project management task on mobile."

"The documentation could be enhanced by incorporating more visually informative videos that demonstrate how to accomplish specific tasks. While Asana's community support is valuable for answering questions, finding precise answers often requires sifting through multiple posts. Having concise and explanatory videos would greatly improve the user experience. When searching on platforms like Google, there are many individuals sharing their approaches to using Asana. However, the information provided is often not directly applicable to one's specific needs. Therefore, it would be advantageous to have comprehensive video tutorials that address common user queries. This would provide a more efficient and intuitive way of accessing information, especially when it comes to learning how to navigate and utilize Asana's features effectively."

"The calendar view in Asana has shortcomings and can be improved."

"We'd like the capability to be able to set up weekly reminders."

"There is room for improvement in integrating Asana with different technology vendors."

"Asana's UI is a little bit too complex for me. Sometimes I get confused."

"We tried, but we haven't been successful with it. If people don't have the training, it is not easy to use. You need to make sure that the people are trained to use the system. They can provide more resources in the form of webcasts and videos that people can use to train themselves and understand how to use it."

More Asana cons

"There is a need for improvement in the interfacing and possibly better integration with other programs."

"The reporting could improve project management. We need multiple source reports. If someone is new to the support it has a steep learning curve."

"The solution's user interface is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."

"The scalability has room for improvement."

"For us in LATAM, the pricing is extremely high. That is why I only work with oil and gas and mining industries because they have substantial budgets."

"There is scope for development in integrating with some AI products."

"Primavera could be better integrated with other products, and it needs more cost management features."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We paid a monthly licensing fee for the product."

"The price of the solution is reasonable."

"Its price is fair. Its licensing cost is cheaper than Microsoft Project. I would rate it a two out of five in terms of pricing."

"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."

"The solution's free version can be used for basic functions."

"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."

"This solution is reasonably priced."

"The cost is $25 US per unit per month."

More Asana pricing and cost advice

"The solution is highly priced compared to one of its competitors."

"Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management is an expensive solution. There is an upfront cost to purchase the solution and then there are annual fees to use the solution."

"My company has made an annual payment towards the costs of the solution. Price-wise, the solution is okay."

"The solution itself is cost-effective."
