It has a nice UI.\u00a0Unfortunately, it is not a full-featured project management app and it is hard to use. There is good news! There ate asana alternatives in the market today!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">Asana promotes the application as a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.binfire.com\/blog\/2017\/02\/best-project-management-software\/\">proper project management application<\/a>. But it has many shortcomings which we will cover here.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">The good news is that there are several excellent\u00a0Asana alternatives in the market today.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">Asana Shortcomings<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">At its core, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.asana.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Asana<\/a> is a to-do list plus added functionality like team communication. It relies on third-party apps for all\u00a0other functionality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">To overcome the lack of proper project management features,\u00a0Asana integrates the application with several\u00a0third-party application. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">On the surface, it seems like a good solution, but in reality, the native feature integration always works better than third-party integration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">Here is a short list of Asana&#8217;s shortcoming:\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">1-As the number of projects and members of the projects increases, the application gets a lot more complex and harder to navigate. Asana&#8217;s claim to fame is ease of use, but this breakdown rapidly when the number of projects increases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">2-The application is slow, and as you add more projects and members it gets slower. It takes a few seconds from the time you sign in until the first page shows up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">3-It lacks proper reporting, so it is not obvious which tasks are open or being worked on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">4-Lack of hierarchy, both projects and tasks lack parents and childer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">5-Subtasks are totally independent of their parent&#8217;s tasks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">6-The application lacks prioritization and ranking needed for Agile projects using Scrum.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">7-Lack of an integrated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binfire.com\/blog\/2015\/06\/gantt-chart\/\">Gantt chart<\/a>. Asana tells you other Gantt applications like <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/instagantt.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagantt<\/a> work with asana, but the integration is not smooth. In addition, you have to sign up for another application just to use Gantt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">8-Do does not enforce dependencies. In fact, the dependencies in asana are just a name, there are no real relationships for a task and the task it depends on. As an example, you can start\u00a0working on a task where the task it depends is not completed yet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">9-It lacks proper team communication tools like a message board. Again asana&#8217;s defense is that it integrates with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.slack.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Slack<\/a>, but as we said before you end up to sign up for multiple application.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">10-Lack of time tracking features. As before Asana integrates with other applications like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getharvest.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Harvest<\/a>, but a native time tracking tool works much better for real projects. In addition, each one of these applications cost good money, so at the end of the day, you pay too much.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">11-Asana lacks the capability to assign multiple people to one task. This is a major issue when tasks need more than one person to work on them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">12-No enforced structure and rules. Everybody can change and even delete a task.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">We have listed a few of shortcomings associated with asana, if you have used asana and faced other issues, let us know.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">The project management market is extremely\u00a0competitive these days. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">With the exception of Microsoft, there are no 800-pound gorillas\u00a0in this market, the number of players in this market is\u00a0astronomical.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">The list of Asana alternatives in this article is not exhaustive\u00a0but a good sample of what is available on the market in 2018. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">We will update this document periodically as more players enter the market.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">Asana Alternatives<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">The list here is alphanumerically ordered so it does not show any ranking or preferences the way the applications are listed. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">If you have your own favorite Asana alternatives let me know and I will update this article.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>1-<a href=\"https:\/\/basecamp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BaseCamp<\/a><\/strong> &#8211; BaseCamp is one of the oldest online project management applications around.
