Asana and Planview ProjectPlace are project management tools competing in the project management category. Asana seems to have the upper hand in pricing flexibility while ProjectPlace excels in collaboration capabilities.
Features: Asana offers intuitive task management, customizable dashboards, and real-time updates, making it suitable for users who need flexibility and integration with various software solutions. It provides a streamlined interface for task tracking and team communication. ProjectPlace is known for its robust collaboration and project tracking features, offering Kanban boards, detailed project views, and resource management capabilities, suitable for complex operational and strategic projects.
Room for Improvement: Asana faces challenges in enhancing workflows, dashboard functionalities, and notification settings. Users suggest improvements in integration and video communication options. ProjectPlace needs stronger integration with other Planview tools, an improved user interface, and more comprehensive resource planning. Users request more dynamic financial management and reporting options.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Asana supports various cloud deployment models, including Hybrid, Public, and On-premises, offering flexibility for different needs. While customer support is generally satisfactory, some users report delayed responses, resorting to community support for resolutions. ProjectPlace, primarily offering Public Cloud deployment, is praised for ease of use, but its technical support has room for improvement due to slower response times.
Pricing and ROI: Asana's competitive pricing model includes a free version, catering to various business sizes, and its ROI is viewed positively despite some perceiving it as slightly expensive. ProjectPlace, though costly with its FLEX licensing, offers extensive functionality, justifying its price for those using Planview's suite, with recognized ROI in project visibility and efficiency.
The efficiency of building the whole project has increased through team management using Asana.
There is no need to juggle multiple conversations across different platforms, and the search engine works effectively, allowing for pulling up historical data efficiently, which ensures all pertinent information is available.
However, due to its pricing, I need to be careful about adding each user and feature.
The technical support is of high quality.
The chatbot of Asana also provides perfect responses.
No complaints have been heard about customer support for Asana.
Multiple teams and multiple team members can collaborate with each other.
Asana's scalability is strong because it works with tools like Microsoft Teams, Slack, Google Workspace, Outlook, Jira, Salesforce, and Power BI.
Asana's scalability is impressive, as the organization has grown from one facility in California to another in Washington State, increasing the workforce from one hundred to about four hundred fifty to five hundred people without any scalability issues throughout a four hundred million dollar construction project.
I have not experienced any stability problems with Asana.
Asana is quite stable; it is a tool I can trust.
It would be easier if I could assign tasks directly from my email without needing to open Asana.
It would be beneficial to have a native option for Asana to create tickets so we could move away from our main ticketing tool.
Notifications are often received for projects that are not involved in, leading to quite a few emails daily, sometimes around sixty to eighty.
To add one user is expensive, which makes me cautious about upgrading or adding more users.
The feature that has made the biggest difference for my team is the cross-functional coordination because it allows communication between the internal team as well as the external teams that are involved in the projects.
Asana's automation allows me to automate deadlines and send notifications to the right people about approaching deadlines.
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.

Asana is web-based software-as-a-service that helps teams coordinate and manage their work. It helps companies move faster by making sure everyone knows the team’s plan and process and who is doing what by when.
Each user can create projects using a list, board, calendar, or timeline view. Within each project, users can add tasks, subtasks, sections, comments, attachments, start and due dates, and custom fields. Project and task followers get notifications on changes or comments on the project and/or task in their Inbox. Individual users can see all of the tasks they're responsible for across all of their projects in a view called My Tasks.
Asana is available in English, French, Spanish, German, and Portuguese.
