Asana vs. Flowlu

The usability of Asana is broad since it's available in a variety of platforms that are widely used nowadays. I think that it would be great for people who are constantly on the move and switching devices, since it has allowed me to work from my phone, too. I also think that Asana has proven itself to handle a large quantity of work

To manage the workflows of our business, we used a number of tools before we began using Flowlu. It combines CRM, project & task management, team communication, invoicing, and account management into a single tool. We are able to save a lot of time and effort by using this all-in-one solution.

• Easy to use by any user (good UX and no installation needed)
• Easy to create a simple project, add tasks and sub tasks.
• Different display options, according to the project/tasks type
• Works great using a web browser, you don't have to install the application

• The system of adding only the features you need by installing as separated modules makes it easy to learn without being overwhelmed by the lots of features.
• I really like its structure and clear interface. Not wasting much time by searching for the right buttons and settings. Looks like the developers use their own tool for everyday work
• Flowlu offers a custom domain option to fully integrate fully it into our company toolbox. This helps offering a seamless experience for our clients.
• The elaborated invoice module was the final argument for us to switch to Flowlu.

• Some users might find the user interface a bit dull and un inspired
• We found the way to use multiple workspaces a bit confusing
• It takes quite a bit of planning to build a well organized workspace in order not to have way too many projects and tasks all over the place

Incentivized

• Flowlu should allow user to import their own invoice into app
• Fellow should have their own email marketing system
• It should integrate woo-commerce, a big e-commerce platform on WordPress. This will support users will in managing and sending emails to their customers.

I just can't see us getting it off of Asana any time soon, despite the many headaches it has caused us. We have too much data in there, too much time & training invested into it, too much at stake to move. If we were just starting out today, fresh, I don't know for certain that I would absolutely go the same direction, but I *think* I still would. I just haven't seen anything better yet. Maybe if Podio's support staff hadn't treated me like a worthless nuisance to them, I might feel differently, but the fact is that their task management is simply inferior to Asana's. That can't be denied, and in fact Podio said it themselves: "Tasks are a simple function. They cannot be customized. Tasks in Podio can be used for quick to-do's for you and your team members." In our operation, however, prompt task completion is a big deal; one task can't be completed until another one is done first, and closing the gaps between those tasks is critical in meeting deadlines and servicing our customers. Asana gets us there, the others don't.

I have found Flowlu while searching [for] a collaborative tool for a friend's non-profit organization. As I read the description and made a trial test, I fell in love with the tool. So we are definitely going to renew. Not only because the delivered solutions are great but also because Flowlu's roadmap seems very [promising].

It is very user-friendly. Takes a new employee an hour to start figuring out how the system works. That's an important factor. You don't want to encounter the issue where employees need a week to understand how the system works. For example, JIRA, I tried using it for a week and I still don't understand the complicated layout. Asana has a simple interface. Once you see it, you get it type of program.

It is full of features, there are many ways to perform a single tasks. Overall the experience is great [up to] now, support is also good. We normally get support in a few hours. The best is that everything is very easy and self explanatory so we did not find any issue in onboarding and daily usability.

Working with Asana on a daily basis

I haven't had to use their support so I can't rate it. The fact that I haven't needed them reflects the ease of use of the product. I would recommend that any new users schedule a complete demo of the product to ensure that they are using it to it's fullest (there's a lot of useful features).

Support is highly responsive and receptive to feedback. There is an integrated live chat script which allows for intuitive and accessible communication. Beyond the official support channels, they also actively manage a Facebook group for other Flowlu users to share ideas and answer questions. Another big pro in my book is having a public roadmap.

Asana is a top-tier project management software that helps us organize and track projects from start to finish. It allows us to apply tasks/to-dos to multiple projects without duplication, divide complex projects into smaller tasks, and track project progress. It also helps us organize work on Kanban boards or linear lists. It stands out from the crowd in a big way compared to the competition.

I would like to say that although they are all great software, I prefer that I get a complete solution that covers my business needs for a fair price. The support that I have received from Flowlu is top of the line. The onboarding is great too. All in all a great software that I really like.

I used this tool on a daily basis at work and it runs as a solid rock

• Difficulty adding large projects with multiple and complex levels of tasks.
• The number of users is limited in the free version. The service cannot be used for groups of less than 5 people.
• The search filter is not a powerful feature, it needs some development and strength because it contains some bugs sometimes.

• It's helped making hiring extremely easy. Onboarding new clients is a snap.
• Creating new projects takes minutes rather than nearly an hour on some other apps.
• I am probably saving 10+ hours per week on work these days because of how easy everything is to set up. Once I get all my training set up in the Knowledgebase I will save even more time.
