Considered Both Products
Asana
Chose Asana
Asana is much better than both of these other options. Timelines and status updates are very integrated into the software and are easy to use.
Chose Asana
Asana is better for the teams who seeks strealined, easy to use user interfaces with less complexity .

Which makes Asana a go to PMS to get things done rather then spending whole time on understanding about how feature works.
Chose Asana
For us, ClickUp was only implemented by department whereas Asana was implemented organization wide.
Chose Asana
Overall for the money Asana brings a lot of value for organizations who want to do more with less and need a task and project management solution as a small company is growing and scaling to get to the next level. In the space when we evaluated didn't find a lot of other …
Chose Asana
Look and feel of monday.com is better, but Asana has more features and capabilities making it the better option.
Chose Asana
Against Jira it offers a more modern experience with less complex user interfaces. The admin and setup experience is also way faster with less (or no) legacy complexity.

Against other modern players like Linear and Basecamp it offers way more integrations so we can pull in data …
Chose Asana
The pricing point my understanding is better, we do have the enterprise level
Chose Asana
Asana is a top-tier project management software that helps us organize and track projects from start to finish. It allows us to apply tasks/to-dos to multiple projects without duplication, divide complex projects into smaller tasks, and track project progress. It also helps us …
Chose Asana
Asana provides a mix of features between notion and Jira. Unlike Notion, it helps ease up the collaboration on vast projects and between multiple teams. Jira proved to be a little expensive with similar set of features if not more and which is why we thought of going with Asana.
Chose Asana
I believe that Asana is more professional than Trello. I used Trello a long time ago, but it looked more suitable for a student project rather than for a professional team or business environment. I believe it has great features to help companies in different stages and of …
Chose Asana
Since I have tried the two applications and saw their advantages and disadvantages, I see that Asana is much better in terms of dealing with files, ease of use, and the many features and characteristics that it has. Also, I noticed that it does not consume much space on my …
Chose Asana
Some features are better; some are too much. Not huge differences.
Chose Asana
Side by side with the other two Asana by far beats Monday.com and is comparable and slightly better than ClickUp. Monday is completely browser-based and is hard to navigate and figure out how to set up. Asana and ClickUp are the exact opposite. Both are easy to set up and …
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
Asana compared to Jira is certainly better in terms of user experience, since most of the people can start using it basically without having any kind of training or previous explanation, which makes it really useful not only for people already used to project management but …
Chose Asana
Asana is amazing for a remote team, that we are currently as its accessible seamlessly to all our team member no matter where they are in the world. Its very easy to onboard new members to this platform as its very intuitive and easy for new people to get a hang of it. It has …
Chose Asana
Basecamp was a great tool, but it was paid and things like recurring tasks and opening new projects was a pain. Asana, as a free tool, has been better for our organization as it serves the basic functions very well and is not complicated otherwise. I really like the …
Chose Asana
I still can't figure out how Trello works. Asana is very intuitive.
Chose Asana
Asana is one of the good going project management tools in the market. It has a great user interface with high performance. Its project dashboard management is handy when compared to other products.
Chose Asana
Asana does well at the assignment of tasks and task management, but it is not a resource planning tool. Other tools do better at resource planning and some principles of agile/scrum. It is simple and easy to use within the mobile application and on desktop, but it doesn't have …
Zenkit
Chose Zenkit
Depending on your use case, Todoist can be enough if you are just looking for a simple to-do-list. But if you are looking to manage larger-scale projects, with multiple departments scattered over different offices - then you need Zenkit. The flexibility allows you to tailor …
Chose Zenkit
Zenkit is more flexible in managing your tasks in different views. Sometimes you just need a to-do list so Todoist would be fine, but with managing whole projects with design, content and other stuff, Zenkit gives us more options and flexibility.
Chose Zenkit
As described before, Zenkit adds a lot more flexibility to the things the other applications can do. But this also means that there is no predefined structure which might be helpful for some people. Zenkit is working on that and is releasing some apps building on the core, so …
Chose Zenkit
More team members were already using Asana, so I migrated over to that. It also has robust reminders setup on their software. Many of the capabilities are similar to Zenkit, but the preference (as a company) is for Asana, so I switched over to it. Zenkit has a nice GUI and Is …
Chose Zenkit
I really like that it's simple, user-friendly, and flexible, because it helps me view my data. You can visualize and customize your tasks. It also has a mind-map view which can be very helpful for planning your project. With the integration with other services like Slack and …
Chose Zenkit
In a previous review for Trello I said it was great, which it is. Zenkit, however, is Trello on steroids and previously only thing holding me back from moving totally to Zenkit was the fact they didn't have mobile apps. They now have a both Android & Iphone apps. So I will be …

The usability of Asana is broad since it's available in a variety of platforms that are widely used nowadays. I think that it would be great for people who are constantly on the move and switching devices, since it has allowed me to work from my phone, too. I also think that Asana has proven itself to handle a large quantity of work

I like to manage tasks and projects with Zenkit. I can use the comment section to discuss specific tasks with my colleagues and can see the progress. If the project is large, it's sometimes hard to keep the overview in focus

Cons
  • Some users might find the user interface a bit dull and un inspired
  • We found the way to use multiple workspaces a bit confusing
  • It takes quite a bit of planning to build a well organized workspace in order not to have way too many projects and tasks all over the place
Read full review
  • There are some instances where the dashboard gets laggy and buggy. But goes back to normal in a few minutes
  • Integrations still not that advanced--but there's still room for improvement
  • Not recommended for teams with more than 6 people-- you will need to upgrade your account to Premium.

I just can't see us getting it off of Asana any time soon, despite the many headaches it has caused us. We have too much data in there, too much time & training invested into it, too much at stake to move. If we were just starting out today, fresh, I don't know for certain that I would absolutely go the same direction, but I *think* I still would. I just haven't seen anything better yet. Maybe if Podio's support staff hadn't treated me like a worthless nuisance to them, I might feel differently, but the fact is that their task management is simply inferior to Asana's. That can't be denied, and in fact Podio said it themselves: "Tasks are a simple function. They cannot be customized. Tasks in Podio can be used for quick to-do's for you and your team members." In our operation, however, prompt task completion is a big deal; one task can't be completed until another one is done first, and closing the gaps between those tasks is critical in meeting deadlines and servicing our customers. Asana gets us there, the others don't.

Usability
It is very user-friendly. Takes a new employee an hour to start figuring out how the system works. That's an important factor. You don't want to encounter the issue where employees need a week to understand how the system works. For example, JIRA, I tried using it for a week and I still don't understand the complicated layout. Asana has a simple interface. Once you see it, you get it type of program.

Support Rating
I haven't had to use their support so I can't rate it. The fact that I haven't needed them reflects the ease of use of the product. I would recommend that any new users schedule a complete demo of the product to ensure that they are using it to it's fullest (there's a lot of useful features).

I am really satisfied with the support. You normally get a response in less than a day. Also there are a lot of video-tutorials for different features.

Asana is a top-tier project management software that helps us organize and track projects from start to finish. It allows us to apply tasks/to-dos to multiple projects without duplication, divide complex projects into smaller tasks, and track project progress. It also helps us organize work on Kanban boards or linear lists. It stands out from the crowd in a big way compared to the competition.

Depending on your use case, Todoist can be enough if you are just looking for a simple to-do-list. But if you are looking to manage larger-scale projects, with multiple departments scattered over different offices - then you need Zenkit. The flexibility allows you to tailor your workspace to your needs for every project, and the simple usability makes it possible to use by people from every department.

Return on Investment
  • Difficulty adding large projects with multiple and complex levels of tasks.
  • The number of users is limited in the free version. The service cannot be used for groups of less than 5 people.
  • The search filter is not a powerful feature, it needs some development and strength because it contains some bugs sometimes.

  • Helped me manage tasks, processes and strategic goals thus saving time & being more efficient.
  • SImple to learn & plenty of tutorials so onboarding was straightforward.
