Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • It's simple to customize Asana dashboard according to my needs. Again, it's simple to plan, manage and execute projects effectively with Asana. It's simple to collaborate with my team on project assignments with Asana. It's also simple to track project progress with Asana.
  • It is simple to plan and orchestrate daily tasks and projects with Asana. It enhances real-time team collaboration. It is simple to track project progress using Asana.
  • It's extremely easy to get onboarded to the tool and actually learn to utilize all of its features, workflow automation and triggers are a must-use feature if you are on the paid plan.
  • * Workflow Builder has allowed other tools to be automated together without the need to use external platforms for integration such as Appy Pie or Zapier, which despite the fact that these platforms that I have just mentioned are very useful within almost any company to automate all the work is also important that each platform can have internal automations as Asana is currently starting to do. With Workflow Builder I can create processes that do pretty much a lot of my work managing a project and it's all done automatically, so I very rarely integrate integration platforms when using Asana as everything can be found right there within their platform. * Another tool that has been quite useful to me throughout the use of Asana is Workload since it has allowed me to manage staff or work teams from different projects more easily, I say this because this feature allows me to see the days when people they have workloads and what capacity they have available to assign tasks. A clear example of how Workload has benefited me is that when managing the assignment of a task I can see the availability or workload that each person has and thus not assign more tasks that could lower the performance of a person having tasks that he will not be able to complete due to excessive work, so before assigning a task I go to the Workload panel and thus verify the availability and workload of each one of my work team. * Thanks to the hundreds of integrations I can make my job much easier since I don't need to pass data from other platforms to this one to have everything connected (and vice versa) since everything stays interconnected. This has resulted in me counting on being able to have Asana Calendar connected to Google Calendar, so I have more control over my to-dos and other to-do lists. Also, with Adobe Creative Cloud I can facilitate my marketing by being able to have the projects and tasks both in asana and in Adobe Creative Cloud since the information is shared reciprocally.
  • With Asana it has been possible to integrate very well the calendars of the different emails that I currently have, this was very useful for me since I did not have to manually synchronize all the notes and important events since they are currently a very heavy load to carry out that work. So the full integration with the Outlook and Gmail calendar was the best thing that happened to me to be able to integrate all the events within the projects and thus have easier reminders Without having to start from scratch to make notifications of each upcoming event and assigned tasks within a project. The board is very personalized, this gives me a lot of freedom to be able to have what I want to see once I log in to this platform. The main screen is the most important thing to be able to highlight what is most relevant while managing a project, so I can add different sections or tasks, lists, some calendars or everything that interests me to know when I'm managing not one but several projects. It was useful to be able to have the option to approve since being able to verify if the work is done is important For the combination of a project to be very effective since within my company we avoid having setbacks and that certain pre-established norms are skipped. So with Asana you can have approval once the assigned jobs or tasks are verified that they have been completed correctly with all the steps to follow so that the completion of a project is very effective since within my company we avoid having setbacks and that break certain pre-established rules. So with the healthy one you can have approval is once the assigned jobs or tasks are verified that they are completed correctly with all the steps to follow and with their well-written documentation marking all the steps which the results were obtained. It is natively available for desktops on both Windows, Mac this was very useful for me as I can sync all tasks and projects on all devices and not just web version and desktop version. It gave me the ease of being able to focus on projects without using the browser since in the past that was the only way to be able to use Asana at that time. The mobile application, in turn, is very complete, just like the writer versions, regardless of whether it is for the web or native to each desktop operating system, so I don't miss out on certain functions that this platform may have, but everything is already there. integrated into any mobile device regardless of the operating system you are using is Android or iOS.

Cons

  • I'm yet to encounter any negative issues with Asana since it meets my project management needs.
  • I haven't experienced any drawbacks with Asana as it works perfectly.
  • Price can be a it hefty when you reach the enterprise level, other than that, the tool is epic.
  • * It is possible to see the list of tasks in a very ordered way, but for me sometimes it is not very useful since I would like to be able to order the tasks by priority and not by completion date. This would give me a better advantage when it comes to organizing my tasks and focusing more on those that require a lot of attention to detail, as well as the effort that must be applied to other tasks regardless of the differences in delivery time. This function of ordering by priority added to the Workload function will allow to better manage the performance and availability of each employee in the event that new tasks are to be assigned, thus being able to have the work team more organized in each project that is being managed. * It can take a long time to get used to Asana even if you use the free version, you have to get used to it very well in order to streamline projects and easily manage assigned tasks. By this I do not mean that you have to get a specialty in project management, but rather because of the number of functions that Asana has, and it can be overwhelming to learn how to use all its tools without any problem. So, if someone is thinking of adding Asana to their company, they must consider that they must have prior knowledge of this platform before they can get a good return on investment, because if they don't, they will be affected in the projects they manage when implementing Asana and they are just beginning to know how it works, making this a waste of time and money. * There is a confusion with the assigned subtasks, since it is shown as a normal task which is not the case since when a member of my team reviews their tasks, they will think that they have work overloaded and in reality, it is not. Therefore, my recommendation is to show the tasks, but if they are more specific tasks of those tasks which several people are involved, they should be seen as a respective subtask and not as tasks only since it overloads the task list with repetitive events. and also confuses when knowing what tasks have been assigned to me.
  • I'd like a way to be able to use notes even when I'm not connected to the internet, that would be very useful for annotating or saving comments that I can use later without having to connect to the internet to use Asana. It would be most helpful if I use Asana via the mobile app to annotate, as if I use an external app I would have to manually sync everything and waste time in the process. So I hope that in a future update they can include using Asana or at least taking notes without necessarily having to be connected to the Internet. It would not be bad if Asana could integrate or adapt to small projects for small businesses, this would be very useful since this platform has a small learning curve which is difficult to adapt to being able to handle many complex functions that the interface brings. There are many options which the user must learn before being able to manage a project correctly, so this platform should adapt to different types of projects as well as being a workspace which would be easy for the end user to change, just You should click on a tool that allows you to select whether it is a small project or a large text that has several particular positives and many tools are required to carry out a complete project management. The integration of a button is missing that could undo an error made within this platform, for example, delete tasks by mistake or delete a person within a project. So any change that is made within this platform could have steps back indefinitely, as if it were a photo or text editing program. This would be very helpful since in case of making mistakes you can always recover the information without any problem and also you would not have to start from scratch when you accidentally delete an entire project. Some kind of backup would also be nice, which allows you to restore by versions all the movements made within Asana.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I found Basecamp as a robust software for the project management cycle. The user interface is incredibly intuitive and highly customizable. Its progress tracker for projects is accurate and real-time.
  • Within this enterprise project management platform, I have seen several positive things that attract me about this platform, due to its great usefulness and the way it allows me to manage projects simultaneously. The things that I liked the most were: 1- One of the main positive features of this platform is that it has a fairly complete prediction system, which is capable of comparing all the results obtained in a specific time, within a project, this allows you to obtain a prediction about the results that you can obtain in this same project in the long term, this helps you a lot when making decisions within each project. 2- I also liked the way Basecamp has allowed me to have complete budget management for each of the projects. This platform provides me with a specific section where I can manage all the resources and all the general budget specific to each project. This is relatively useful for our company, since we are constantly updating the number of projects in our portfolio. Therefore, having a platform that helps us control expenses in each of the projects helps us to reduce costs and generate the same results. 3- I loved the way I can work together with the help of this platform, since it allows me to work on a project together with different employees. The platform allows me to add the number of employees I want for each of the projects. This makes it much easier to compute each project in less time and provides a usefulness of teamwork. 4- I also liked that with the help of this platform, you can see in real time, the tasks that are being executed by each of the employees, in addition, you can also see the history and the record of the tasks that are pending to be executed, in this way you can keep a complete control of the tasks that each of the employees execute within a specific project.
  • Phenomenal and efficient for team collaboration. Astounding with task assignment and prioritization. Effective with task progress visualization.
  • A real-time chat function called Campfire and message boards for asynchronous collaboration are both included in Basecamp. These features improve communication inside the platform by facilitating official and informal team interactions.
  • The main reason why Basecamp is a good option for the administration and management of projects is because this platform has additional functions to manage the capital for each project and thus have a prediction of the results. This capital management feature is great because it allows you to add products, prices, remove repetitive products, gives you unnecessary product suggestions and thus you can save on the preparation of each project. Basecamp allows you to manage all the tasks and manage the status of each one, this will help you to have a continuous monitoring of the fulfillment of each activity related to each project, in addition, Basecamp allows you to manage several projects at the same time, in the main panel you will be able to see the projects that are being executed in each area of your company, is a very powerful tool that supports up to more than 5 projects simultaneously.

Cons

  • Had a balanced experience, no major downside to share.
  • In general, I consider that Basecamp has had a very noticeable utility within my technology company, because we are constantly renewing our project portfolio, therefore, this platform is useful to add projects and be able to execute them in less time, in general, this new platform has not provided any type of negative characteristic, in this way we have been able to execute projects without any type of interruption, it favors teamwork and working constantly, since the platform does not have any type of failure within it, we consider that everything is fine within this platform.
  • Fantastic with task progressive visualization. Ease of use.
  • Basecamp is really good at being simple, but it might not have all of the sophisticated capabilities that come with more sophisticated project management software. Businesses with extremely complex project management requirements could find Basecamp's feature set to be too limited.
  • It is a quite complex platform to use, in addition, users can also present complexity in the initial registration of each employee in the platform, since it must be done individually for each employee, in addition, users must also learn to add relevant information to each task and much more, in general, the platform is very complex to use for the first time. Another negative aspect is the high prices that Basecamp manages, although this aspect has not affected us too much, we do believe that we could obtain better prices in Basecamp's annual plans to have a better ROI.
