Any.do vs Asana: Which is a better fit?

Speaker 1: Hi, my name is Rilwan. I'm a product designer and a co-founder at [inaudible 00:00:05] Media Limited. I give any Any.do five out of five. Just trying to stay on top of a couple of the things I have to do for the day, so your to-do list. The way it does, it links all your to-do list together with your Google Calendar as well, so basically your to-do list. The first thing would be the fact that the design, it's simple to navigate as well. Couple of the functionalities on the app helps, most of them actually helps. You've got a reminder that is linked to your email. You've got notifications, so you can always play around to get more productive or you can set your to-do list by day or by the order of priority and you can play around the game. Use color codes to actually differentiate out the level of priority with, "Okay, I want to do this one in the next few hours. I want to do this one next week." So far, none, actually none. I think few years ago, I used to get lots of notifications from the app, but now that's been rectified. I don't get unnecessary notification. So right now, the app is actually perfect. I use it every day. I've checked it already this morning when I needed to because before I sleep, I try to make a couple of lists of what I have to do the following day. And then when you wake up in the morning, just two, three minutes, you go through what you need to do for the day. So right now there's nothing I need, but there's no fault with the app.

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.
