João Luís Dias Account Manager in Sales at Ancestra, Lda (Printing, 11-50 employees) Chose monday.com I didn't use Asana that much, and I kind of liked it, but the visuals of Monday.com are just way more appealing.

Felix Maximiliano Obes Project Manager in Information Technology at Aeropuerto Internacional de Carrasco \| Puerta del Sur (Airlines/Aviation, 201-500 employees) Chose monday.com We only used it to give the reporting some format, having to pay for just one nice reporting capability was not enough.
