- Asana is a task management tool that helps teams orchestrate their work, from daily tasks to strategic initiatives. With Asana, you can connect all your work in one place and bring teams together, anywhere. From lists to boards, to calendars and gantt charts, organize work your way.
- Workzone is an Asana alternative for marketing teams, ad agencies and other organizations that manage a lot of projects. The software has been around for a couple of decades, which shows that they’ve been doing something right. Workzone has more features than some entry-level project management software solutions, and is easier to use than Asana.
We’ve been trialing Avaza because of its built in time and budget/profit tracking capabilities. In other words we want to know at glimpse when we’re on budget and when we’re not, and that we’re allocating resources correctly.
Avaza is not bad but we miss the low friction environment of Asana. For instance in Avaza to check a task off as complete you have to open the task, click on the Status dropdown menu and choose “Complete”. You can’t just mark a task as complete by clicking on the check button in a list, as you can in Asana. Another one is that you can’t create a task within the time tracker on the fly; instead you have to leave the time tracker, find the project, add the task, then go back to the timer to start timing the task.
We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us. Seamless project management - Asana lets you organize work into shared projects in both boards and lists. Teams can create tasks with assignees and deadlines within the project. This way, any task, no matter how big or small, will be tracked within the project’s board and list.
So I’m taking one last look at how we might track time and budget/profits in Asana before we make the final jump to Avaza. Do you have any suggestions?
Asana Project Management Pricing
Preferably we don’t want to rely on integrations if we can help it. One reason being that we’re then relying on two separate software packages and two separate companies. But the main reason being that Avaza would only cost us $20/mth for 5 users, whereas premium Asana (for custom fields) + Harvest would cost us $90/mth.
