Asana let's me communicate tasks with my VA
What do you like best about the product?
I love how i can create repeated tasks -- tasks that remain the same each month. I don't have to go in and recreate the task -- I just schedule it as recurring for any duration of days that I want.
What do you dislike about the product?
Every time I sign in, I forget that I'm in MY dashboard, and not my VA's. Several times now I've created a task and put it on my own dashboard by mistake, and then not realized it until it's past the deadline and I'm wondering where the work is.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communicating tasks with a deadline to my VA. I love how I am automatically updated when a task is updated, through email.
Pretty good product, but honestly I find myself reverting to pen and paper for tasks
What do you like best about the product?
I think being able to assign people tasks is helpful. We also get very detailed with the tags we put on for different projects. For example we use it to categorize by which action items get brought up at which meetings. We also use it to be able to communicate about check up calls so everyone is on the same page. I also like the feature of being able to comment on other people's projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you don't have your whole team on the software it doesn't really work since you have to follow up on different channels. We use it mostly for customer support, but I also have marketing responsibilities, so it doesn't work as well for those. Again if you have your entire team on it you're better off.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to plan out long term projects and tasks within our smaller group.We have about 12 people in our team and it definitely makes our processes easier, but we just have to stay on top of keeping it updated.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely make sure your whole team is using it and not just part of your team. It makes a lot of a difference, because if someone is out of the loop it sort of throws the whole thing off. When you get set up make sure every team has their own project and that there isn't too much of an overlap, where things could get confusing.
Intuitive and easy as long as on desktop
What do you like best about the product?
Asana offers you an easy to use project management tool that nearly everybody can get behind and grasp after a couple of minutes use. Other than most "free" tools it does not only offer a very broad managing of tasks but also allows you to go into details with subtasks, links and attachments. As well as deadlines and assignements are possible.
What do you dislike about the product?
It works great as long as you are on a desktop. If you are in sales and have to use it on your phone, while being out with clients - it's horrific. It's just too detailed and you cannot find most things over your phone. You have to use the search function basically ALL.THE.TIME. Thankfully that works quite well for me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're connecting two of our locations together with Asana. People can work together closely without being in the same office.
Asana Makes Collaboration Easier
What do you like best about the product?
Asana makes project management and collaboration with internal stakeholders easy. Our teams know who is working on what and how far along we are in the work process.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I don't like about Asana is that I can't upload video files.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working for a multifamily company with over 140 properties across ten states can be daunting. Our Marketing Department is constantly working on projects for not only these properties but the corporate brand and sub-brands as well. Simply put, we're constantly working on a lot of projects. Asana is the perfect project management tool to make sure everything gets done in a timely manner.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a user-friendly, intuitive, project management tool. Take your time to play around with it. There are tons of tutorials to guide your way.
Excellent Project Management
What do you like best about the product?
Asana allows me to track my progress along multiple projects at once. There are multiple views depending on how you need to see your workload. And the ability to share your projects with other people/teams is very helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the interface can feel a little bit clunky. And adding subtasks its a bit of a strange process, but overall I don't have many complaints.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management, mostly. It's been very helpful to be able to easily share my workload with other teams and countries, so just knowledge sharing is the biggest benefit.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Grow with Asana, it will only help you in the long run.

Adaptable, quick, and modern day design

What do you dislike about the product?
Not ideal for graphics-intensive work.
Can't switch between Task and Kanban project views after creation.
The free version has lost some searching/reporting capability.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it for grants tracking, so I can assign out pieces to different team members and easily gather pieces back to me. I love that I can hyperlink to previous years notes, attachments, etc. for easy reference, which is really helpful with donors.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I cherish their free form with a firey enthusiasm, yet once drawback is as they have developed, the free form has lost some seeking/detailing ability. However, utilizing their paid item makes you all that you could need. So in the event that you are guiding the free form to get a sense, there is significantly increasingly out there.
Great project management tool
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has been so helpful to my team. We create dashboards for our projects and we can invite people from outside teams to join our project dashboards and make contributions to the tasks. I like the ease with which you can create new projects, tasks, subtasks, attach and share files, and track tasks. Dashboards are customizable and intuitive to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
With the free version, you can't create dependent tasks that automatically change the due dates. You also can't create gantt charts. There are a lot of great features with the paid version that I wish were available for the free version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our team is able to continuously stay up to date with all of our projects. MY boss is able to check in on all of our progress without needing to talk. We can also assign tasks throughout meetings, which solves the need to send follow up emails.
Asana fits the bill
What do you like best about the product?
The best part of Asana is that it's easy to manage my home and work life in one app. With easy mobile or web apps, I'm able to note the task for whatever comes up regardless of where I am.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although you can add tags to the favorites, I wish tag management was easier. Using GTD method, tags are essential. Also wish it would integrate with Harvest. Still need to use another task management system that does to manage tasks that require time tracking.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Because Asana has a good free option, I'm able to set up new teams for each client.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
With a little time and effort you will be able to set up Asana in a manner that works with your company's work flow. It might take a few tries but by trial and error as well as looking up what others are doing on YouTube, you can find a solution that works.
Wonderful software - Time consuming set up
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a wonderful CRM and project management system. I currently use Asana to manage clients everyday tasks as well as one time projects. One of the features I love is that I can customize the software as I need it and I don't have to upgrade to do so.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a huge learning curve when setting up Asana. I had to not only watch video tutorials but I had to contact support many times during the customization.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using Asana for project management and day to day client operations. One benefit is the use of the software with no cost associated.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are considering Asana, watch videos and tutorials before trying to set it up. The videos and tutorials will save you a lot of time.
Great for cross-team collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
We use Asana for driving transparency across several teams, departments and even companies! It allows everyone to log in and see the same things, add comments and upload documentation, and is easily edited and managed. We love it!
What do you dislike about the product?
We still have to use other things like Jira tickets for internal requests or HubSpot for uploading recorded videos and as a general landing page for each of our clients.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving for one place for all the documents and plans to live so that everyone on our team as well as each of our individual clients are all on track and bought into the same game plan.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a great and easy to use product for even the most novice users! We like that it's easy to use, clean and quick. We still use other platforms for various reasons but Asana makes project management, transparency and collaboration so easy!
