RelayThat vs Asana: Which is a better fit?

Fraser N.: My name is Fraser. I'm a marketing consultant. I'm here today to talk about RelayThat. I'm going to give it three out of five. For more reviews like this, please click below. I looked at a number of design tools before I went to RelayThat. A lot of it was trying to make it simple for someone like me who's not a trained designer. I didn't want to have to get into Photoshop and things like that. I also looked at solutions like Stencil, which is pretty good, but RelayThat seemed to give more options and easier to make a multiple social media and ad formats from it. I chose RelayThat because it gave the opportunity to do some good designs without having to learn something really complex, like Photoshop. For someone who's not a designer like me, that was great. I also wanted something that would work quickly and easily and give me multiple outputs for different sizes of digital ads and of social media posts. They were the main things that I was looking for in a tool. In terms of onboarding and help with RelayThat, that's why I've marked the tool down so much. The actual tool itself works pretty well, although there are limitations of what you can do, but the biggest problem is that RelayThat help and support and training is literally one video that's about a minute long. There are no other types of support videos available at all. It means a lot of people like me have been blundering around and not making the most of the tool, so that's a bit of an issue for me. RelayThat can do a job, but it really lets itself down with the lack of support and video training and onboarding. If that's important to you, then RelayThat is not the tool for you. You'll probably find the same kind of results from something like Canva or Canva Pro, just a few more bells and whistles, because that can do, basically, what RelayThat does. It has updated a lot more, and it's a lot more user-friendly.

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.
