Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Alkami
- Pricing is per registered user with contractual minimums, so institutions with many enrolled but dormant users pay for accounts that never log in.
- Alkami is a channel layer, not a core, so functionality is bounded by what the core exposes, and a poor core integration produces a slow product no amount of channel work fixes.
- Implementation typically runs six to twelve months and requires institution staff time, which small credit unions consistently underestimate.
- The MANTL acquisition adds account opening but also another integration programme, and consolidating on one vendor removes leverage to swap a weak module for a best of breed alternative.
- Buying digital banking separately from the core vendor means you own the integration risk between two suppliers who will each blame the other when something breaks.
Asana
- The free Personal tier is capped at 2 users, so it does not cover a small team
- Timeline and Gantt views, reporting dashboards and time tracking all require Starter at $10.99 per user per month
- Portfolios, goals, workload management and approvals need Advanced at $24.99 per user per month
- Salesforce, Tableau and Power BI integrations are Advanced or above
- Monthly billing costs more, at $13.49 and $30.49 against the annual rates
