    Considered Both Products
    Asana
    Chose Asana
    I have been using Smartsheet for a similar project management usage with a customer of ours. Asana is way better than Smartsheet with a much better user interface and experience.

    Chose Asana
    We switched to Smartsheet for one year and we liked it mostly because of the Gannt Chart feature. However, leadership changed and the funding to continue to use it dried up. However, with all the upgrades to Asana over the past two years Smartsheet doesn't have as many …

    Chose Asana
    I like how extensive the capabilities are for Asana. With other softwares it seems there are many things lacking. I feel like Asana is also a very user friendly platform and aesthetically pleasing which is important in a modern office. We have many young people entering our …

    Chose Asana
    We tried it as one my developers swore up and down how good it was at the startup... well it crashed in our office, since we didn't end up working the way they did. We are more of a dev ops company than a social media or open source

    Chose Asana
    In comparison to other Project Management software tools that I have used, Asana is the most user friendly platform without compromising any advanced capabilities.

    I use both products. Asana is more established on the campus.

    Chose Asana
    Asana is lightweight and relatively inexpensive. For our marketing and advertising team, it works great. For teams with stricter needs (development teams, product teams, and other scrum teams), looking at other options might be worthwhile.
    Incentivized
    Chose Asana
    Both software are very similar to each other, even in the economic factor, the reason we choose Asana over the others is because of its usability, the software is very easy to use which helps to get the most out of it, in addition to the integrations that provide Asana with …

    Chose Asana
    I view Asana as a lightweight PM tool, more for task management and collaboration.
    Incentivized
    Chose Asana
    Asana shines as a project management tool. It far exceeds other comparable programs as it has and is constantly adding new features for its free and premium users. The program is consistently adapting to market needs, keeping it viable as a project tool that can be utilized by …

    Chose Asana
    We loved the fun design hacks (e.g., flying celebratory unicorns when you complete a task, Tab+B puts tabby cats on your screen temporarily; themed backgrounds). We're marketers–can you blame us?! But in all seriousness, we chose Asana over other similar products because of the …

    Smartsheet
    Chose Smartsheet
    Asana and monday.com are typical project management tools where resources can be tracked based on the tasks, etc. Smartsheet does exactly the same but additionally allows people outside of PM to automate their data collaboration with other employees. The solutions that …
    Incentivized
    Chose Smartsheet
    I believe Smartsheet is much easier to use than Asana. There is a better way to collaborate with colleagues and track your progress on projects. There is a better structure on how to set up your system. It has better filters to see what you have accomplished vs what is open and …
    Incentivized
    Chose Smartsheet
    The dynamic nature of SmartSheet can do the same things as the other tools I've used (Trello, Asana, Basecamp, etc.), but you are not locked into a single methodology or format. You have the flexibility to create the type of project tracking tool that works best for your …

    Chose Smartsheet
    Smartsheet offers the best blend of features from its direct and indirect competitors. It is intuitive and collaborative, like Asana. It provides entry-level features from DevOps in regards to Agile, it offers traceability and integrations better than both Teams and Liquid …
    Incentivized
    Chose Smartsheet
    Smartsheets has more PM features than Asana, whereas Asana seems to be better for a roadmap or higher level planning. MS Project is similar to Smartsheets, however less user friendly in my opinion
    Incentivized
    Chose Smartsheet
    Smarsheet was cheaper. JIRA is really expensive compared to Smartsheet. Smartsheet is also not just a checklist. Asana to me is just a checklist, which sometimes is not useful at all in project management.
    I call it an Excel++. You can use it the same as Excel and also make …

    Chose Smartsheet
    Asana has a nicer interface but it expensive for what you get. Airtable works well. I would prefer Airtable over Smartsheet except it does not have the capability to fill out the DocuSign's we need. Otherwise, I would solely use Airtable for this. Google Sheets is great and …

    Chose Smartsheet
    .Asana is more task-oriented when I first tried it. I needed something that offered higher-level reporting and aggregation. Smartsheet's automation is also tighter. Podio is great for project-based intake workflows. It has very flexible and customizable fields allowing the …

    Chose Smartsheet
    Smartsheet is user friendly with easy to use templates as compared to Microsoft Project. Other thing is collaboration which cannot be achieved in Microsoft Project. Smartsheet has different types of pricing for different types of users but Microsoft Project only offers …

    Chose Smartsheet
    Jira is better on user interface and task tracking. However the dashboard isn't as versatile as on Smartsheet. That being said, it takes maintenance to keep the Smartsheet dashboard updated regularly (not automated).

    Chose Smartsheet
    Price and ease of collaboration was the deciding factor and since we made this decision quite awhile ago, Microsoft Project's collaboration features were not there yet, making Smartsheet the clear winner. Many of our Project Manager were comfortable working with Microsoft …

    Chose Smartsheet
    We used Smartsheet primarily because a customer was already using the tool. We typically use Microsoft Project since most of our customers and team are familiar with the tool.

    Chose Smartsheet
    I liked Smartsheet for the ease of use and simplicity. Having a view in Gantt chart is great and very helpful. Being able to invite multiple people and have everyone collaborate was useful. It made my life as a manager of projects much much easier and saved me a lot of time …

    Chose Smartsheet
    Smartsheet is very robust, and allows much more customization. It is not as user friendly, and takes more time to understand and get used to. Smartsheet integrates with just about all of these other tools. One of the best things about Smartsheet is that it can integrate with …
    Incentivized
    Chose Smartsheet
    We chose Smartsheet over the other software because of its solid interface. An easy-to-use and very complete tool was necessary. In addition to the interface, the processes are quite simple so the training time of the software was shorter if we compare it with the other …

    Chose Smartsheet
    Smartsheet is the easiest to use solution for setting up simple- to moderate-complexity sheets for purposes like tracking a project (i.e., I have not used it for complex financial analyses before). I have used similar tools in work and personal life and Smartsheet has been the …

    smartsheet performed badly in User Interface against the competition which unfortunately made the use of this software obsolete in our organisation. We finally use a series of other tools to do the same without going through the time consuming process of using smartsheet. We …

    I was attempting to do all I've described with Google Sheets & SharePoint. Google Sheets didn't have all the functionality we needed. SharePoint was too difficult to set up and doesn't work well with Mac users. None of the solutions I listed could match Smartsheet's versatility …
