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.

"It has helped our departments maintain visibility."

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

"It's very easy to use for everyone in the team, and they have a good tool for the portfolio aspect because we have projects in different areas."

"The initial setup was straightforward."

Cons

"If you have been using a tool like Jira for many years, it make time some time to get used to the minimalist layout in Asana."

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

"Some customizations and functions are still not available, however, so far, they haven't been a deal killer."

"For large teams, scalability should be improved."

"The product must reduce the information on the interface."

"The solution can be difficult for new users to use because of the interface."

"There could be some improvements in terms of how projects or day-to-day work is organized. One of the challenges when it comes to rolling out to an enterprise is the way the projects are organized. It has a kind of setup where you have different projects and tasks, but it is not as organized as Smartsheet when it comes to organizing projects or different teams. It can get really cluttered really fast. JIRA has another suite to submit the support tickets. It would be good if Asana could branch out to incorporate some kind of workflow. It is great for collaboration and recording work, but there isn't any workflow. It would be useful if they can map out a workflow of who approves what. This is kind of a big ask, and it is not geared towards that."

"On the development side for technical project management, Asana is missing features. We only use it for discussing tasks and strategies, and we use it for customer to-do lists. It doesn't have the source code integration that Jira and Jira Service Desk both have."

More Asana cons

"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."

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

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

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

"The scalability has room for improvement."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"This solution is reasonably priced."

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

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

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

"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."

"It has a free version."

"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."

More Asana pricing and cost advice

"The solution itself is cost-effective."

"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."
