Central hub has unified cross‑department tasks and provides clear ownership and communication
The best features Asana offers, once you become familiar with the system, include clarity in view and tracking of questions. For instance, if information is requested from legal and they respond, a record is maintained to track all comments and keep everyone updated. Having that clear view and record of communication helps the team day to day by allowing management and staff to see current statuses and responsibilities. It clarifies whose responsibility it is and identifies any hold-ups with legal or engineering tasks, which keeps the organization organized. Asana has positively impacted the organization by providing clarity for everyone, allowing visibility into who is working on what, from the VP of Operations down to maintenance, ensuring necessary parts are available. It functions as a clearinghouse for all information. Collaboration has greatly improved with Asana. There is no longer a need to chase down accounting or engineering for project updates because information can be checked through comments. File attachment and messaging capabilities between different groups within Asana are helpful. Email notifications are received for updates relevant to tasks, combining Asana alerts with email for easy visibility. The interface and notifications in Asana are appreciated because it integrates with email. Updates can be received even when not logged in, which keeps you informed. Initially, it takes some time to understand the various details, but after extensive use, it feels second nature. Overall, satisfaction with Asana is high.

Centralized visual workflows have boosted automation and brand control but still need better dev tooling
While Canva Enterprise is a powerhouse, there are specific areas where it could be improved. Currently, Canva provides an Open API specification, but it does not maintain official first-party client libraries for languages like Java or Python. Developers have to use tools like Open API generator to create their own clients. This adds overhead in managing dependencies and ensuring the generated code handles Canva's specific authentication. Canva could release a first-party Java SDK with better support for Maven and Gradle, including built-in retry logic. Another area for improvement is versioning. For developers, versioning usually means a clear history of changes. However, Canva has basic version history that is linear and lacks the branching and merging logic needed for complex projects. Design as Code features could be implemented where templates could be exported as JSON and modified in an integrated development environment. This would allow developers to manage design templates in the same continuous integration and continuous deployment pipeline as their application code. Additionally, Canva currently provides notifications when a design is exported. However, developers need more granular triggers such as comment added, approval rejected, or brand kit element updated. Canva could expand the webhook suite to cover every administrative and creative action, which would allow much tighter integrations with Jira, Slack, or custom internal dashboards.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"What I like the most about Asana is its API integrations because we use a lot of cluttered toolsets in our company since we need to cater to different clients, for which its integration gives us a lot of flexibility."
"The way it handles the task is good. The whole team needs to organize all our tasks using Asana. It helps to clarify and allows us to prioritize tasks effectively."
"We put all of our work and communication into Asana and it runs really smoothly."
"All the features have the potential capabilities to perform their unique tasks, and we have been happy since we secured this software."
"I would highly recommend Asana as I think it's a great tool."
"I use Asana daily to keep track of projects and tasks for myself and my team."
"Stable Kanban style tool for collaboration and task management. It runs smoothly and has a straightforward setup."
"Asana, despite its compact size, proves to be incredibly valuable. When initiating a project, it offers the ability to generate a personalized form for clients. In this particular context, my clients include the customer success team and solution architects. This feature allows me to provide them with a convenient means to submit their requests, resembling a ticketing system geared towards internal operations. Moreover, it enables efficient allocation within my team. For instance, if a question pertains to customer success, I can assign it to the CSOps manager and the team. Similarly, if it relates to a specific channel, it can be allocated accordingly."
"For an organization like ours, it is not just a design tool; it is a productivity operating system that centralizes brand identity and automates content workflow."
"My team used to spend two hours creating a marketing asset, and after we started using Canva Enterprise templates, that reduced to 20 minutes, which is an 80 percent reduction in creation time."
"We are now able to work 30 to 40% faster than before we implemented Canva Enterprise."
"Canva Enterprise helped my organization improve the speed, consistency, and quality of marketing communications."
"Canva Enterprise helps people create content to send a good portfolio and a good curriculum to the place they want to work."
"There are tools and templates for numerous design types and formats, and plenty of fonts and graphics to choose from."
"Canva Enterprise has positively impacted my organization by improving team collaboration and productivity."
"Since starting to use Canva Enterprise, designs and work have become much faster, resulting in 30 to 40% time savings."
 

Cons

"There just needs to be a bit more direction on how to use it at the outset."
"On the development side for technical project management, Asana is missing features. We only use it for discussing tasks and strategies, and we use it for customer to-do lists. It doesn't have the source code integration that Jira and Jira Service Desk both have."
"The integration with email should be more seamless. When I'm writing an email and want to tag someone in Asana for a task, the process should be smoother."
"In some instances, there were subtasks where more than one person needed to review it, but I could only assign it to one person. I would have to create a subtask under a subtask and then assign it to other people. This could be improved."
"One general feedback about Asana is that compared to Jira, it has fewer features and is not as organized."
"If Gantt charts were implemented, this would be a near perfect project management solution."
"We have not used Asana on our private server. We have been using the cloud solution. We need an on premise solution for government agencies."
"A rating of eight is given because a downside exists in that everyone has access and notifications are often received for projects that are not involved in, leading to quite a few emails daily, sometimes around sixty to eighty."
"I wish there were multiple options to modify the templates."
"Canva Enterprise can be improved in its AI functionality."
"I think Canva Enterprise can be improved because currently, it is not as powerful as other tools such as Photoshop and Illustrator."
"Like some other tools, Canva should introduce an AI writing assistant tool on their platform."
"Canva Enterprise can be improved by adding version control and Illustrator-like features, which would be very useful for creative users."
"There are many features that are available only in the pro version or are restricted to advanced plan features, which can be costly."
"The video editing prompt, the artificial intelligence prompt that Canva has provided, is a feature that I think could be improved, especially regarding text-to-video generation, which I am looking forward to."
"Canva Enterprise currently has limited features and is not as powerful as Photoshop or Illustrator."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is $25 US per unit per month."
"For what it brings to the table, I think Asana is fairly affordable. I would like to see the portfolio feature in our pricing plan, but other than that, it's definitely pretty good."
"The solution's free version can be used for basic functions."
"Asana has two different types of structures: company vs workspace. Company is really best if all the users you plan to assign work to are all internal (have the same corporate domain in their user ID email address). Once one person signs up (even for a free account) with a corporate email address, Asana will automatically relate that person to that company, if it already exists. If you plan to use it for external collaboration as well as internal, then creating a workspace is a better approach."
"This solution is reasonably priced."
"I can describe Asana's pricing as a sweet spot since it is neither very high nor very low, especially regarding the value Asana adds to its products...In our company, we use 50 percent of the features provided by Asana, because of which we only pay 50 percent of Asana's total cost."
"Price-wise, I think it's an affordable option for mid to large-sized companies."
"Its price is fair. Its licensing cost is cheaper than Microsoft Project. I would rate it a two out of five in terms of pricing."
