Pro Notifies of updates
An update is posted to the Slack channel every time a task is created, moved, completed, or commented upon.
Pro Attach files to cards
Keep all of your files (images, documents, etc.) organized on their relevant cards.
Pro Sub-tasks
Each card can have one or even multiple task lists.
Con Notifications only
There is no way to interact with tasks in any way - new tasks can't be added, completed tasks can't be removed, tasks can't be assigned, etc. The integration only sends updates to the Slack channel.
Con Boards can't be deleted
There's no way of deleting a board, it's only possible to close it.
Pro Two-way Slack Integration
MeisterTask's Slack integration is bi-directional: the inbound integration sends messages to a Slack channel whenever a task is created or dropped in a section (lane) in MeisterTask, whereas the outbound integration lets you insert tasks into a MeisterTask project directly from a Slack channel.
Pro Unlimited tasks and projects for free
MeisterTask offers a free plan that includes unlimited tasks and projects, as well as two integrations of the user's choice.
Con Main view isn't compact enough
The main view isn't compact enough even when set to small font and compact view. Additionally, columns are not collapsible.
Con Subtasks are hidden inside the task
It can be hard to see the complete details of each task due to the nested interface.
Pro Powerful team collaboration features
Asana has fantastic mechanisms for dealing with team collaboration. Not only can tasks be assigned to team members, but Asana lets follow tasks and even use hyperlinks to refer to team members within a task.
Pro Very polished interface
Teams can have private (only visible to project members) and public (visible to anyone in the team) projects. Each member can also have their own personal projects. Tasks can be viewed in list and calendar views. It's possible to display only the tasks assigned to the user or tasks organized...
Con No task dependencies in free version
Dependencies is only available only to Teams and Organizations on Asana Premium.
Con UX Design is overly opinionated
Asana forces a user to conform to their worldview of what the optimal workflow is. Workflow's are constantly changing. As such, an opinionated design is not ideal for project management.
Pro Notifies of updates
An update is posted to the Slack channel every time a task is created, completed, moved, or commented upon.
Con Notifications can't be customized
There is no way to fine-tune what updates get posted to Slack.
Con Notifications only
There is no way to interact with tasks in any way - new tasks can't be added, completed tasks can't be removed, tasks can't be assigned, etc. The integration only sends updates to the Slack channel.
