Comparing the most popular project management tools in the market. Click up and Asana are very powerful tools with some key features that may make or break your decision
Click up vs Asana: Which is the best project management app? Both of these established tools have their strengths from a PM aspect. However, the question still stands: which one is the best project management app for you?
ClickUp
Clickup, a cloud-based tool suitable for businesses across all industries, big or small. Clickup is used for features like communication and collaboration, tasks assignment, and statuses. In terms of tasks and comments, users can mark these comments as ‘in progress’ or ‘resolved’ and also make custom statuses. Teams can set their notifications to only be sent for specific items. Furthermore, they can use the ‘mention’ feature to alert users who are mentioned in discussions. Comments can also be edited after they have already been sent.
Pros:
Suitable for both team and individual users. Many project management solutions are designed for businesses. Clickup has the edge over them because it is also easy to use for the average user. It has a suite of features that are perfect for keeping track of your daily activities. 2.0 especially is impressive because of its improved interface.
The dashboard for these task management features are simple yet efficient. With this, you don't have to spend extra time looking for the tasks you need to do.
Powerful even the free version. Free versions are expected to be less powerful and sometimes even lack features. Fortunately, this is not true with Clickup because it still supports many features that are otherwise only found in paid versions of other software.
The number one thing to keep in mind when using Clickup is that their number one goal is giving their customers the best experience. This is evident by their open feature requests page, which has led to the creation of many new features.
They have excellent customer service. Our support team is able to respond quickly and resolve any issues you might have.""
Clickup has an excellent layout. One user specified that even dyslexic users can easily navigate its tools and see what is happening with their tasks. The design will help your business stay organized and keep numerous tasks in their proper place.
Cons:
Too many features. Some users are overwhelmed by the variety of features, especially during the initial set-up. Some teams report that the learning curve is a bit high and their members find it hard to use all the features
Too many options for customization. One of the greatest advantages of Clickup is its option for full customization. However, this is also a con because users need to customize a lot of things in order to make the software run optimally.
Calendar interface is slightly clunky. Although the calendar is regularly updated, users are often faced with bugs that make it difficult to use. This means they have to hover over buttons and check whether the interface is in the correct format.
With the tagline ‘one app to replace them all’, the user interface is sometimes underwhelming to end users.
People have said that they'd like to move tasks between Gmail and Clickup, without using a third-party service.
Quick Conclusion:
Clickup is a software that is made up of more features suitable for businesses. It is worth a try if one wants a versatile software that is popular in the market.
Asana
The tool is a cloud-based one that lets you all collaborate at once on one project. It helps managers create tasks and assign them to team members, set deadlines and manage them.
Asana
Pros:
Asana offers a free plan. Project management software is important to small and medium-sized businesses. However, some of them can be expensive. Asana can be used by small teams that are on a tight budget.
Asana has wide range of integrations. This makes up for Asana's lack of some features. There are numerous apps that integrate into Asana, allowing you to connect it to various other apps such as Slack, Salesforce, Google Calendar, and more.
Their product allows users and companies to focus on being productive. For example, Asana can track progress even of the simplest of tasks within a project. One of our strongest features is the ability to include files from your device, Dropbox or from Google.
With business projects and data being classified as confidential, Asana ensures their security through their storage security measures.
We have a dashboard for personal tasks, another for soliciting feedback, and another for job applicants.
Asana's collaborative features mean that you can involve other people in work that's happening. Asana allow you to create a workspace where people can see all the projects, and tasks within it, but only those who are connected to it have access to it.
Cons:
Too many features. In a nutshell, Asana is not suitable for groups of people or single projects. Because of its too many features and options, it can become too overwhelming for a very basic project that doesn’t need all these features. A lot of people have complained of having decision fatigue because of this.
Tasks can only be assigned to one person because we believe it's important to have clarity over who is responsible for each task. If it is assigned to more than one person, a lack of communication may lead to problems.
If you want to create a billable project, you may also want to add time tracking to your to-do list. This will give you a detailed log of how long your team has spent on certain tasks.
It is only possible to export Projects in JSON and CSV formats, but not in PDF or Excel.
Quick Conclusion:
Asana has been proven to be an effective solution to many users for many years. Though there are few criticisms, as always, it is up to the user to decide whether or not Asana meets their needs.
