At a glance
| Consideration | Hopya | Asana |
|---|---|---|
| Core shape | Self-hosted task/project management plus Documents and Tables | Work management spanning tasks, projects, goals, portfolios, and resources |
| Task views | List, Board, Calendar, Gallery, and date-span Timeline | List, board, calendar, timeline/Gantt, and other project views; plan-dependent availability |
| Scheduling depth | Start/due-date spans; not dependency scheduling or critical-path planning | Dependency and scheduling capabilities described in its project-view documentation |
| Choosing a setup | Operate your own instance or enquire about managed/professional services | Evaluate Asana’s current product plans and workflow capabilities |
When Hopya may fit
- Tasks, assignees, dates, comments, and typed fields cover your workflow.
- Five task views, Documents, and Tables keep work/context nearby.
- You want deployment control and accept operator maintenance/backup responsibilities.
When Asana may fit
- Portfolio reporting and goals are requirements.
- Resource planning or workload management matters.
- You need dependency-aware scheduling; availability depends on the current plan.
Plan the move, not just the import
- Identify required tasks, custom fields, dates, and assignee mappings.
- Transform source export into Hopya task/Table format; test a bounded batch.
- Reconcile dependencies, reports, rules, and memberships separately; CSV/JSON does not automatically translate them.
Use the migration guide. Keep the source until data, permissions, and file recovery are verified.
Be clear about the limits
- Do not expect automatic parity for portfolios, time tracking, resource planning, dependency rescheduling, or AI workflows.
- Hopya is an early release with one supported application replica.
- This is not a claimed large-enterprise scaling replacement.
Self-hosting includes HTTPS, maintenance, and complete backups. Contact WNZN for managed/professional-services enquiries—not self-serve hosted signup.
