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

"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 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."

"The dashboards are really insightful and easy to use."

"The way it handles the task is good. The whole team needs to organize all our tasks using Asana. It helps to clarify and allows us to prioritize tasks effectively."

"The initial setup was straightforward."

"It’s a great way to communicate plans and progress across the business and is flexible about how much detail I include and how I present it."

"I find the interface of Asana easy to interact with."

More Asana pros

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

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

"The solution's tech support is good."

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

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

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

"I like Primavera's planning capabilities."

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

More Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management pros

Cons

"There just needs to be a bit more direction on how to use it at the outset."

"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."

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

"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. As it is, the template gets created with the just task dates driven by the project start and end dates inputted by the user. In my current situation, I'm assigning myself to many tasks, so I have to do that manually every time. Even if I eventually start adding other people to assign tasks, there won't be more than a handful to do. However, those few people will have multiple tasks. It would be nice to be able to select those individuals during the setup rather than having to do so manually once the project has been created."

"Having a quick way to do video inside the platform or video communication could be very handy."

"The product's page is not user-friendly."

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

"More features can be added."

More Asana cons

"The scalability has room for improvement."

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

"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."

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

"They should work on integrating the solution with ERP."

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

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

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price-wise, I think it's an affordable option for mid to large-sized companies."

"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."

"The price of this solution makes it quite accessible, and the plans fit my budget."

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

"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."

"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."

More Asana pricing and cost advice

"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."

"The solution itself is cost-effective."

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

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