Asana vs Slack Comparison

Asana helped us getting organized and focus on results. I like the dashboards where you can create stages to track tasks.

We still use Slack and wish some of the Slack features are available within Asana conversations.

It helps with accountability among team mates, as well as for self-discipline

It's integration on slack could be improved

Asana keeps track of all my tasks including ones that are in someone else's court for the time being. I love how easy it is to move a project along to different coworkers by simply changing who is assigned. The notes section is great for remembering important details or giving instructions to coworkers. The app is great for getting timely notifications as well.

You can integrate Asana with Slack to keep things streamlined, but this Slack frenquently is telling me to update my version of Asana.

Not many I can remember can be improved in all the aspects when compared with competitors in this same section

I used Asana before but now switched to Slack, I find Slack is better than Asana, the loading tim, the ease of messages, access to files, team members size etc everything should be improved

Great interface, easy to use, you can create a personal project or team project and manage a oard for TODO, timeline, share files, and calendar. Every task can be managed for many tools lika due date, subtask, mark subtask done, and coments history

The first time I tried to change between my personal projects and my team projects I felt lost. It was not intuitive to have to go to my profile icon to change the environment.

This app is so easy to use! Everyone I've suggested it to comments on just that - they love the choice of boards or lists, and how easy it is to set up sub-tasks. If you have lots of tasks each day, and need a place to track them all, try Asana.

The pricing is a little high for a business that needs teams - but I am a bootstrapper. If you have an established business and Asana's pricing fits within your budget, you will love it.

- Simple interface - Great integration Gmail and Slack - Great mobile app - Repeating taks my favorite feature - Good notifications (e-mail, slack, mobile app etc..)

- Reporting tools not good for me - There is no another cons at Asana for me. Reporting is very important for my project. So, i used extra add-on.

I like that I can see all my tasks in one panel - I used it briefly for some collaboration but now I use it personally to keep track of tasks for life and my business.

Went with slack over Asana for its superior chat feature

This software is so easy to use when everyone is doing different things, you can easily add someone to a task or assign to tasks to others for their daily activities.

The integration into Slack can be a bit off sometimes

I liked the free application of the software for a start up advisory role I held with a new company

But I have since moved onto SLACK it pains me to say, as it combines most of the factors with better platform.

It's thorough, intuitive, and integrates with Slack.

It's not as aesthetically pleasing to use as Trello. The list feel doesn't offer the same satisfaction as cards, though I appreciate that Asana offers cards now.

- Extremely Flexible - Much easier to learn than other PM Software - Mobile App is great - New slack integration is really cool, allows task creation from slack

infinite flexibility allows for people to use the tool in so many ways things can feel a little bit disorganized if you don't have someone on top of things. Not necessarily the softwares fault, but other PM Software contains more structure to prevent this

It integrates with slack. It’s similar to trello

It’s not as good as trello in some ways

-Help to keep the work tasks organised. -Easy to use -Perfect tool for project and task management -Helps in avoiding over communication

It doesn’t have an inbuilt integration with Microsoft like in Slack

It's just a very nifty tool for small teams to use. Creating recurring tasks, their timeline feature and power ups are all nice add-ons on the paid plan. It's also good to use on the free plan for really small teams.

Their Slack power up is super annoying. You can't choose what notifications you want passed to Slack from Asana. By default, it's everything. Asana should take cues from Trello and fix this.

That it's very easy to set up a new project and upload templates with excel.

I wish the communication resembled slack more and less like an email.

The interface is beautiful, reminds me of IG+slack

I dislike how slow it can be sometimes

Project management Ease of use Visibility into top tier items Collaboration

Inability to set multiple tags on a task. Slack workflow is only one way — to my knowledge there’s no way to get a slack workflow to automatically post items on a board.

The integration with Slack - easy to write a message (task) on any Slack channel and with one click you can transfer it to your Asana boards as an official task.

For me personally, it's vry subjective as I am used to use a competition tool on daily basis. So somehow I am used to that one rather than Asana.

The API integration to use the Task Manager on Slack

Not very intuitive when it comes to user undertanding how it works

Easy to use, Great UI, integrations with slack, harvest etc.

Need better reporting tools

After trial and then subscribing to Asana, we switched to Slack.

Asana was great but we needed the capabilities of another system.

It's one of the best project management tools that I've used so far. It even sends you email reminders of the tasks that are due and overdue. It lets you manage the projects as a team so that everyone has visibility of each team member's responsibility and we can get notified once a task is completed.

It has a slack integration and it can sometimes spam you with Asana notifications.

When working on a group project, Asana gave us a way to assign each other tasks, keep track of deadlines and communicate with each other. It's faster and more efficient than using email.

It can be a little confusing to use. Not intuitive but you can get the hang of it.

My tasks in which I can create all tasks even from Slack.

Nothing particular but it will be great if we can create Asana task from gmail

I can work within multiple teams (outside the org and inside) and still have communication. It is easy to use, and allows for me to ask quick questions without cluttering email.

I wish ASANA implemented better into the platform (but I think that is an ASANA issue).

Through the various channels easy to set up communication across different teams as well as for different areas/work projects Easy to use for even new team members when they come onboard the team and ability for them to see hsitory of communication with regard to a team/project

Better intergration with Asana which is a task management software used. If Slack could be integrated to Asana in a way task can be directly created in Asana via Slack would be great

I was onboarded as an intern remotely and asana has been the primary use of communication in our company. I appreciate how easy it is to deploy channels and touch base with different sectors of our company!

The only thing that is frustrating with asana is that there have been occasional moments when asana has not been working properly.
