    Considered Both Products
    Asana
    Chose Asana
    Asana had more useful features, is a more mature product and a better interface than Microsoft Planner while Microsoft Project was harder for the average person to learn and hit the ground running due to it complexity making Asana that nice middle ground for most persons to …

    Chose Asana
    Comparing to other not so complex project management solutions (which does not include Primavera, for example), Asana is way better due to the experience it provides to users and the alignment with the new trends of project management approaches such as Agile. Therefore, the …
    Incentivized
    Chose Asana
    I view Asana as a lightweight PM tool, more for task management and collaboration.
    Incentivized
    Chose Asana
    Asana is much simpler to use that Microsoft Project or Zoho Projects. Anyone can jump in and start using the software. There are also tutorial videos available on their website if you need any sort of clarification. You also can't beat free or low cost, depending on how many …
    Chose Asana
    Trello - great but a bit young. Good integration points. I think it could be a good too to integrate with. Some people enjoy the KanBan type view and Asana doesn't have that currently.
    Basecamp - more project manager focused but also a good integration point.
    JIRA - Better for …
    Microsoft
    Chose Microsoft Project
    It has many advantages over Asana. It's cheaper but can still give effective presentations. Sharing information is easy and the support is great.
    Incentivized
    Chose Microsoft Project
    MS project stands up over Asana because it is more formal. When you realize that you need to submit a proposal to a huge company or federal organization, you must use the most complete software to do that. In addition, MS Project helps to integrate costs and human resources in …

    Chose Microsoft Project
    Better suited for everyone in the team due to an existing partnership with Microsoft for access to other software suite provided by them.
    Incentivized
    Chose Microsoft Project
    Microsoft Project had the strongest integrations and Gantt chart qualities. As a team that uses Outlook, Skype, DevOps and the Office Suite, it became clear that Project suited our needs best. Additionally, testing found that the user interface and security features pleased …
    Incentivized
    Chose Microsoft Project
    While many of the above tools are extremely well-versed, Microsoft Project's largest advantage comes from it being related to the largest business productivity company in the world. Project does have its sharing limitations - but regardless, offers one of the most robust tools …
    Incentivized
    Chose Microsoft Project
    I selected Microsoft project because we use many other Microsoft products. The advantage it has over competitors is the data visualization, which gives it a good return on investment. The project management tools are good, but other platforms have more features and integrations.
    Incentivized
    Chose Microsoft Project
    The strength it has is that it's the best complete solution for project planning. I would choose Microsoft Project over cloud solutions only if the requirements specify self-hosted solutions or that it allows integration with the AD and other corporate tools. But be prepared to …
