Buyer fit

Choose the fit for your team.

Consider Asana

Choose Asana when broad collaborative project and portfolio management is the main requirement.

Consider Allocyn

Consider Allocyn when resource demand, capacity, time, and project economics should be first-class connected workflows.

Decision criteria

Separate collaborative work management from resource operating depth.

Use a portfolio that includes intake, tasks, dependencies, goals, status reporting, and workload review to test Asana's collaborative project model. Alongside it, define the resource decision that needs dated demand, roles, skills, availability, allocations, actual effort, budget, and forecast context. Allocyn should be assessed on that connected planning sequence rather than on the number of general work views it can reproduce.

Map each Asana requirement to Personal, Starter, Advanced, or Enterprise before calculating the bundled paid seats. Portfolio workload is listed on Advanced, broader workload and capacity controls are associated with Enterprise, and timesheets or budgets are sold separately. Compare the resulting package and add-ons with the Allocyn package needed for the same participants, financial access, reporting, identity, migration, and support requirements.

Collaboration model

Test the forms, rules, project views, goals, and portfolio reporting that teams would use day to day. Record the conventions and administration they require.

Resource evidence

Create dated demand and an allocation conflict, then determine how skills, capacity, actual time, and budget evidence reach the decision.

Seat and add-on scope

Use the real paid-user bundle and identify every Enterprise, timesheet, or budget requirement before comparing recurring totals.

Evaluate with real work

Follow a portfolio commitment into a staffing decision.

Choose two projects that share a specialist and have different goals, dependencies, dates, and financial context. Capture the work, review portfolio status, expose the workload conflict, and decide what moves. Ask the project and resource owners to explain which evidence supported the decision, then verify the package, add-ons, exports, and access boundaries used in each product.

  • ✓Use the same projects, goals, and responsible people.
  • ✓Include one intake form and one workflow rule.
  • ✓Test workload at the proposed Asana tier.
  • ✓Trace actual time and budget information explicitly.
  • ✓Calculate the paid-seat bundle and separate products.
