Some of the perks are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Quick onboarding <\/strong>\u2014 The UI is intuitive, so onboarding new members takes minutes, not days. You don\u2019t need a separate IT department to set Plaky up, and there\u2019s 24\/7 customer support (100% human).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Easy collaboration<\/strong> \u2014 Comments and file attachments are tied to tasks to eliminate endless emails and meetings.

Here\u2019s why it works:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Clear structure<\/strong> \u2014 work is organized into Projects, Tasks, Goals, and Portfolios, with multiple view options (List, Calendar, Kanban, Timeline, and Gantt).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Team collaboration<\/strong> \u2014 comments and file sharing keep team communication centralized, while multi-home tasks support <a href=\"https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/cross-functional-collaboration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cross-functional collaboration.<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Automations for routine steps<\/strong> \u2014 with Rules and AI Studio, you can automate handoffs, status updates, and reminders so that campaigns don\u2019t stall.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>What I find odd is the 1-assignee-per-task policy. The idea is to ensure accountability, but it\u2019s inconvenient when multiple people are working on the same assignment and you have to create subtasks in order to make that clear.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for integrations, I couldn\u2019t find the definitive number, but it seems there are 200-300+ native integrations in Asana, which is quite impressive.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"868\" src=\"https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Asanas-UI.webp\" alt=\"Asana\u2019s UI\" class=\"wp-image-17493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Asanas-UI.webp 1800w, https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Asanas-UI-622x300.webp 622w, https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Asanas-UI-1110x535.webp 1110w, https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Asanas-UI-768x370.webp 768w, https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Asanas-UI-1536x741.webp 1536w, https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Asanas-UI-18x9.webp 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Asana\u2019s UI<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The area where Asana shines is <strong>goal tracking<\/strong>, as it allows you to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Specify clear (sub)goals <\/strong>\u2014 set goals with assignees and deadlines, or create personal goals, with the ability to divide them into subgoals for precision.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Connect goals with work <\/strong>\u2014 link goals with specific projects\/tasks, allowing the goal completion field to automatically update as you mark work as done.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Generate reporting dashboards<\/strong> \u2014 visualize data in different chart styles to identify blockers, resolve problems, and achieve goals faster.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Goals are available on the Advanced and Enterprise tiers only, which means at least $24.99\/user\/month.

Miro can also lean on AI to automate thinking tasks like summarizing boards and structuring messy input.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"916\" src=\"https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Miros-UI.webp\" alt=\"Miro\u2019s UI\" class=\"wp-image-17499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Miros-UI.webp 1800w, https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Miros-UI-590x300.webp 590w, https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Miros-UI-1110x565.webp 1110w, https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Miros-UI-768x391.webp 768w, https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Miros-UI-1536x782.webp 1536w, https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Miros-UI-18x9.webp 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Miro\u2019s UI<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>After testing Miro for marketing, I see why it\u2019s said to shine as a <strong>brainstorming space<\/strong>. My favorite features are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Infinite canvas<\/strong> \u2014 you can expand ideas endlessly, which is particularly useful for messy early-stage thinking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sticky notes and comments<\/strong> \u2014 these features allow you to quickly capture and group ideas like campaign themes or content pillars.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Miro Engage<\/strong> \u2014 interactive activities like polls and word clouds keep everyone actively involved in workshops and structured sessions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Miro Insights <\/strong>\u2014 AI-powered customer feedback analysis makes it easier to move from brainstorming to actual strategy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I also noticed that Miro can get cluttered fast without discipline. So, if you go for it, I\u2019d advise you to avoid overly complex boards \u2014 especially since the app can lag in those cases.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"916\" src=\"https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Engage-Activities-in-Miro.webp\" alt=\"Engage Activities in Miro\" class=\"wp-image-17505\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Engage-Activities-in-Miro.webp 1800w, https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Engage-Activities-in-Miro-590x300.webp 590w, https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Engage-Activities-in-Miro-1110x565.webp 1110w, https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Engage-Activities-in-Miro-768x391.webp 768w, https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Engage-Activities-in-Miro-1536x782.webp 1536w, https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Engage-Activities-in-Miro-18x9.webp 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Engage Activities in Miro<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>All in all, I like how Miro lets you go from rough ideas to structured plans in the same place. Just remember it isn\u2019t exactly a true PM tool with in-depth reports and native automation logic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My last remark is that 24\/7 support is available only on the highest tier. So, on lower plans, your employee productivity can suffer if technical issues arise outside customer service business hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"whats-new-in-miro\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s new in Miro?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Miro has made it possible to take a screenshot and turn it into a live interactive prototype instead of redesigning manually (in the add-on Miro Prototypes). Plus, any space in Miro can now be saved as a Custom Blueprint (reusable template).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Available for: <\/strong>web, macOS, Windows, iOS, Android<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th><strong>Plan<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Price<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Free<\/td><td>$0<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Starter<\/td><td>$8\/member\/month*<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Business<\/td><td>$20\/member\/month*<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Enterprise (30+ members)<\/td><td>POA<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>*billed annually<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"reliable-project-management-software-for-marketing-plaky\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reliable project management software for marketing \u2014 Plaky<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Choosing the best marketing PM app ultimately comes down to how well it can support your team\u2019s day-to-day work.
