henshuWhen Asana fits
Asana serves creative agencies with projects, portfolios, intake, proofing, approvals, and resource planning. Its agency offering also covers time and budget workflows. It is a strong candidate when broader delivery operations and coordination across many types of work are central to your needs.
When Henshu fits
Henshu is worth testing when video production, review, and content delivery make up the agency’s daily work. Tasks keep files and review context together, and publishing drafts stay close to the approved deliverable. Agency plans add branded client spaces. Evaluate that specific path alongside any operational reporting or financial tools your business still needs.
Compare the handoff, not a list of ticks
Use a small real project to test the decision. Put the same brief, media file, deadline, and reviewer into each workflow. Ask the editor to find the next action and the client to leave useful feedback without a call. Include setup, permissions, and the work after approval in your evaluation.
- Compare the way each system handles your agency’s actual video review round.
- Test the client experience, not only the account lead’s project view.
- List the budget, time, and reporting requirements you cannot lose.
- Try the handoff from an approved cut to the right publishing account.
Move one workflow before moving everything
Keep your current files and history available while you test. Start with one project and confirm how comments, versions, account access, and exports will be handled. Henshu does not promise an automatic import of all Asana history. Check the current plan limits and any integrations you need before choosing a replacement.
