## Summary
Asana is used for collaborative project management and tracking.  It can integrate emails, files, tickets, and more offering over 100 integrations. GitLab is a complete DevOps platform, delivered as a single application, providing not only project management, but also planning, CI/CD, packaging, verification, release, and monitoring, all automatically looping back their status and data from across the lifecycle into the issues being tracked.
## Weakness
Asana is less powerful than GitLab Issues within the issue descriptions themselves... e.g. no deep linking to comments, no automatic cross-linking between issues when they are mentioned, etc.
