Chose SmartSuite
It seemed to me it would be better to switch on SmartSuite as Asana didn’t have some features I looked for. SmartSuite is more detailed than Asana, and also a good point for Share view for clients.
Chose SmartSuite
For our team, SmartSuite contains all features that we need. Before we use Asana, Trello and tried to use Airtable. But all of these management systems did not satisfy us. Then we started using SmartSuite, got to know all the possibilities and decided to switch to it
Chose SmartSuite
SmartSuite is just beyond compare! You have everything you need in one place and you don't need other products.
Chose SmartSuite
Well, Asana was just too simple for our use case, we couldn't get into the details as we could with Smart Suite. As for Jira, it is exactly the opposite, it was just too had to use and our team members just stop using it based on the time they need to spend in order to use …

Ruum [by SAP] is an easy-to-use project and workflow management tool for the organization's internal use on the project tracking and managing [of] client-related projects, which also benefits team assignment and collaboration.

Well, Asana was just too simple for our use case, we couldn't get into the details as we could with Smart Suite. As for Jira, it is exactly the opposite, it was just too had to use and our team members just stop using it based on the time they need to spend in order to use Jira. I would say Smart Suite is a healthy balance between those two allowing for the business to be super specific with their workflows but not putting a lot of overhead on the employees.
