I know Asana is prettier than MS planner but:

1. Planner is bundled with 365

2. Planner works with Azure AD SSO for free.

3. Planner is 100% integrated with Teams.

This makes Asana an outside bet for me.

Except Planner has no timeline or Gantt charts, despite claiming most of last year, that Gantt charts where on their roadmap. I've found Planner to be nothing more than a glorified Kanban board, which is also something Trello does much better even on their Free Tier using your 1 powerup of a Gantt chart.

Trello does it much better for a small team in a non-enterprise setting. Having to manually add and remove users, and manage external sharing is a huge drag in any bigger environment

They probably didn't have a Gantt chart to help them figure out the dependencies to properly plan it on their roadmap
