Asana vs ActiveCollab: Which is a better fit?

Ellenore K.: My name is Ellenore. I'm an administrative assistant at Equipter, which is a manufacturing company with about 70 employees, and I would give Asana five stars. Well, we are mostly an in-person company, but we have three separate buildings that people are working in. It's a fairly large campus, and people are working in many different departments, and we needed a way to bring everybody's work together so we could all see what we're working on, be able to assign things to other people, and mostly just keep everyone on the same page, because without some kind of system like this, it's chaos. I think the biggest thing that I appreciate about Asana is the visibility that it gives me for other teams and for my team. I think without this, it's just me running around to people's desks, asking questions in different buildings, making sure that we're all understanding things. With Asana, it means that I sort of have eyes on what everyone is doing and can keep track of how I need to fit into that. We have had some limited issues with our dependencies on recurring tasks. We have a fairly substantial, a large task that happens about once a week, and for a while we had dependencies set up so that we couldn't move ahead too quickly in the process before the earlier tasks were done. After a couple of months of that working with one of the more recent updates, we lost the ability to do that. That's a little unfortunate. It's not a huge deal because the people who were involved know what has to happen first, but that was a nice feature that we liked that hasn't been working so well for us recently.

Ricardo: Hi, my name's Ricardo. I'm CEO. I give ActiveCollab a five star rating. For more ratings like this click the link below. Before ActiveCollab I was using Trello, which was doing the job all right. But after using Collab for a short time, I realized that it is was more beneficial for our company to use. I chose ActiveCollab because of the ease of use for the communication between our team. Everyone understood how to use it perfectly clearly. That's why we decided to stay with ActiveCollab. When we first started using ActiveCollab we were up and running within a few hours. We had all our projects posted, all of our tasks posted, and the team was already logged in and everyone had their account created. Before we knew it, we were sending messages to each other, adding notes and comments. We've been moving forward since then. My recommendation for any company or someone that's out there looking for a collaboration software such as ActiveCollab is to go ahead and go for it. You're not going to regret it. You're going to have a good time with your team on there. Easy communication, fast tasks, fast comments, email notifications. I highly recommend it.
