Why Asana Might Not be for You
When Complexity Gets in the Way
Asana’s cluttered interface with many useless options can overwhelm teams looking for a product that truly fits their day-to-day needs.
Additionally, limited in-app communication and higher prices may deter businesses looking for a high-quality product that suits their budget.
"The paid version in Asana is incredibly expensive for a small, independent business. The search function is impossible, you can't get rid of detritus, etc. I can no longer recommend them."
— Heather H, November 2024
"Setting up Asana on the front end takes time. You have to decide what you want out of the product and then build it into their system. It really was a bit heavy to begin. "
— Deni H, December 2024

About BasicOps

"BasicOps has truly streamlined how we work. The simplicity of the workflow is what stands out the most. Having chat and meetings integrated directly within the platform allows our team to communicate seamlessly without switching between apps. "
— Paul M, February 2025
"Easy to use; BasicOps is the most intuitive UI in the market. It was so much easier to get onto and up to speed on this product compared to other solutions."
