AppFolio Property Manager vs Asana Comparison

The UI is simple and easy for new staff members to learn. The features are 'simple' and provide entry level functionality to get tasks done.

Since signing up with Appfolio in 2010, they've lost their consumer focus - and replaced it with what can best be described as 'Wall Street Arrogance': - selling 'value add' services to our clients without our prior consent - adding a maintenance call center that is a joke and an embarrassment - their suppressed fees feature is a nightmare to use, requiring hours of extra labor to ensure it works -...

Great business tool, if used correctly it can provide a task manager, project manager, and a client manager. Not always the most easy to use right away but it is great once you have a system created.

Paid vs unpaid is drastic and not always cost effective compared to other tools. When a business is starting it doesn't always make sense to upgrade paid.

Helping to project manager specific tasks

Not as user friendly as it could be - could have more features.

Manager projects and visualization at calendar.

The use Gantgraph is difficult for me and I´d lilke to do print some pages.

Excellent task manager with organizational and collaborative features.

Has to reload sometimes.

It really does make me better at my job. I can easily keep track of all my projects and effectively plan out my time. I like that it doesn't get it my way, I never spend time trying to figure out how to put something in Asana or looking for the right button. It's very intuitive. It's easy to collaborate with other employees. I like how seamlessly it integrates with other platforms as well.

They need to work on the start date/end date feature. It's pretty new but so far using it doesn't help me keep track of the project. When I sort by due date it puts the project on the bottom of my tasks because it's sorting it by the end date rather than the start date. When it would be more helpful to sort it by the start date so that I know when I need to start working on it.

one of the best this of this software is customization which makes easy to for me to create a dashboard & task list according to my requirements .

being a manager i want to make more accessible & user-friendly interface.

Ability to quickly communicate project updates to a large team in a centralized cloud location when the team is highly distributed across multiple remote locations and needing to access the project status with many different technologies (desktop or mobile device). We like being able to attach all the project documents to in one cloud-based location.

Hard for the project manager to see overlapping deadlines for multiple, unrelated projects.

The API integration to use the Task Manager on Slack

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

I can share my progress with manager in an efficient way.

Not very intuitive or user friendly. I like Trello's design better.

It was a great to-do list tool for people on different teams/with different tasks

It was more work to update than for everyone to use their own task manager.

Lots of features, fairly fast, everything you need in a task manager

No cons were added to this review

I like the easy to use interface, drag, and drop, manage team and projects, task management, automation and much more. I'm using this tool for a year or more though I haven't tried all features.

For a company, project manager and team manager it has everything to work on, so far I haven't found any drawbacks, even it has the freedom to integrate with other tools and day by day it is adopting new features.

Asana is a good tool for task management and project workflow. Easy to use and keep track of all histroical work accomplished and IC projects.

No complaints about Asana, it is a useful task manager that I've used in several organizations.

Best free project manager out there, if you're in need of a baseline solution!

Now that Asana has rolled out features like Gantt, there's not much left to be desiredl

It's easy to learn and use--I'm not a project manager but I found it intuitive and collaborative within the sales team.

It doesn't integrate with salesforce/slack causing duplication of efforts. Otherwise it's great and is seamless.

I like the Kanban modes and its integrations with Slack. My company has used this for software development tasks though, and there it lacks in development related features. Fortunately you can get integrations to automatically sync with Jira or other task managers.

Lacking in complicated workflow creation. It also is not nearly as suited for software development as a task manager such as Jira. Jira allows you to tie a task to a git branch, display commits, keep track of tasks and time tracking better, and has more project manager features.

Ease of use - adoption is very easy Mobility- cloud access is the best feature Collaboration- using Asana for collaboration is a viable option.

It needs a few more features to compete with MS Project. Not able to track critical path

Asana helps me keep track of upcoming deadlines for all projects. I can also receive notifications when my manager makes any changes. The gantt view is aesthetically pleasing!

I think there is a bit of a learning curve when figuring out how to create schedules. Also, you must pay to have gantt chart view, so I was unable to use this feature for my personal planner.

It is an inexpensive easy to get started task manager for our small team of 5 employees.

You do have to think through your project structure and ensure team members are putting tasks in logical places within the framework.

This To-do list manager is very easy to use and has a great layout and design.

What this software makes up for in ease to use ,it lacks in customization and features. However, if you need an easy to use task manager, this is the one for you.

Asana has a great looking interface and makes it fun to use. Mobile functionality works well too. There are lots of options for task and team management. The sync between users or multiple devices is lightning fast.

Despite it's clean interface, Asana is confusing to use at first. Sub-tasks can be assigned deadlines but these deadlines don't show in the main card view or send an alert to the assigned team member. Data shared within tasks automatically creates large task cover images, making it harder to read the team board. Perhaps most surprising, you can't enable the "tags" property by default nor can you edit the default property types you can assign to a task.

It's easy to assign task, to give report on them, and the Instagannt integration is just great.

It's not easy to manager very complex projects with lots of subtask levels. Recurring tasks are also not easy to do.
