Asana vs Planisware comparison

"The solution's user interface is very good."

"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."

"The ability to build subtasks and break things down off of our major tasks has been very valuable. It is very stable and extremely scalable. The initial setup is very simple."

"My task box displays all of our tasks, organized by day, helping us to focus on what needs to be done each day."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its project management tracking systems."

"The only thing I love about the product is that it is beautiful."

"I love the way it monitors all of the current and past projects, and it sends notifications to keep everything on the track."

"Asana has significantly reduced the number of emails we exchange because we can access the project directly. It organizes all the tasks related to each project, assigns them to staff with due dates, and tracks progress."

"There are two things in particular that I enjoy. The first is the portfolio planning section. Another advantage is that it is highly customizable."

"Overall, our company has all disintegrated systems, and with Planisware, we are getting a very integrated view of my portfolio reporting, cost and load, and everything else."

"The solution is performance-oriented and easily customized accordingly to many areas, such as performance KPI."

"Planisware offers integration with multiple tools and provides a good level of customization."

"Planisware has introduced Agile concepts, making it capable of Agile management similar to Jira and other Agile tools."

"The area that could benefit from improvement in this Planisware is the project management tool. I have previously used Project Server, which is a Microsoft solution, and I found it to be more user-friendly as it included a client solution. In contrast, with this solution, the only option available is the online version, making it difficult to create activities, milestones, and other necessary components. This is in comparison to Planisware, which offers a more comprehensive solution."

"It has an inbuilt BI tool, which can be compared to Power BI or Tableau."

"It stands out by automating the intricate mechanics of project execution, eliminating the need for highly technical individuals to manage and reconfigure models."

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

"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."

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

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

"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."

"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."

"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 stability of Asana is good. However, there are some issues with maintenance, when the solution is down. For example, there might be maintained for a few hours where we cannot use the solution."

"I have experienced some issues, and that’s okay. It tends to be stable when the server's processing power and memory are adequate."

"The UI and UX of Planisware are not that advanced."

"The area that could benefit from improvement in this Planisware is the project management tool. I have previously used Project Server, which is a Microsoft solution, and I found it to be more user-friendly as it included a client solution. In contrast, with this solution, the only option available is the online version, making it difficult to create activities, milestones, and other necessary components. This is in comparison to Planisware, which offers a more comprehensive solution."

"The biggest con for Planisware is that if you are not a Planisware partner, you don't have access to their functions, making it difficult for beginners and new team members."

"More integration is needed with other kinds of products for better collaboration."

"Its stability should be improved. Its stability is the main issue, but we sometimes also have issues with calculations."

"The learning curve is steep and there could be more avenues for opening up learning materials to a broader audience, enabling individuals to gain practical experience with the tool."

"They do not have anything that can assist customers with multi-year roadmap planning."

"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."

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

"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 price of the solution is reasonable."

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

"It has a free version."

"This solution is reasonably priced."

"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 solution is expensive and support is an extra cost. There are three license types to choose from, and we only pay for support and cloud services depending on our needs."

"There are training and certification costs."

"The solution could be less expensive and the cost of scaling is expensive too."

"It comes with a high cost."
