Asana - The Team Task Tracker!

  • January 22, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use and help with staying focused on the task at hand. It is a critical piece of software for our organizations to organize a large team and ensure that everyone's jobs are being managed and completed. I love not having to micromanage my staff and nag them to stay on task with projects - this allows them to have some autonomy in their work and gives me piece of mind that the work is being done in a timely manner.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is a strong program and there isn't really anything we dislike at this point.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I felt that I constantly had to nag my staff to feel confident that we were staying on task. Asana allows me to relax and KNOW that the job is getting done. Everyone is happier that we are scheduling fewer team meetings because we can see that tasks are being completed in real time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Headed in the right direction!

Awesome for managing a team of international freelancers

  • January 21, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The ease of posting tasks and managing deadlines, and e-mail reply function for responding to posted tasks. Also the ability to check off tasks as completed.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far nothing has come up, the only minor thing I could mention would be the way some e-mail notifications only link you to view the task, not to access the actual dashboard, so you have to open a separate tab and log in separately. No big deal, just a minute or two wasted when the view task could link directly to the dashboard.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to manage all tasks and deadlines centrally among multiple freelancers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Watch the tutorial videos available on YouTube to familiarize yourself with the dashboard.

Best Tracking Tool

  • January 21, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The interface is user-friendly with interactive graphics. The software is also very easy to navigate through. Secondly, as a manager one is able to monitor the schedule and progress of their employees, which generally helps in time management.
What do you dislike about the product?
It takes one some time to learn every feature of the software. Secondly, a manager cannot be able to assign the same task to more than one person.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
it is very essential in streamlining various business processes and organizing team members to be efficient and manage their time efficiently. There are a few people who are allowed to create tasks. This means that the software will not suit larger organisations with very many supervisors.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is an effective tool for project management, makes jobs easier for both the managers and their employees.

Project Team live instant communication, every get their notification, time tracking as a critical indicators makes the collaboration attractive to users, challenging to meet business fast paced implementation, we get the chance to be more aware of the project insights by getting the most from the mobile app that runs smoot in iOS or Android.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do really want an stronger security adjustment in the notification through emails it could easily be upgraded to automate team due dates and sharing reports of the uncover tasks and goals. But that's from my standpoint they're aiming to the right side of PM.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It Helped us to build trust on our internal processes, built confidence in our sponsors and led up to implement our Knowledge base from the scratch, since all our hints we're posted inside Asana, that gave us the missing parts or not foreseeing challenges using the task references and sharing every single detail of our daily routines it was very satisfying to reach goals and overcome troubles.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is basically your best keep on track tool for Project Management, others can keep you in the fast paced changing business, but asana you should run it forever as the came up with fascinating improvements starting from live collaboration beyond remote locations and reducing timelines to seconds, Asana will meet up the most demanding environments, with it's powerful task and time management tool, instant share documentation and keeping your teams safe enough to do everything from their phones or their workstations.

Task management made easy

  • January 18, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love how Asana makes it easy to customize your to-do list, so you can really make the platform work for you. There are so many great features, no aspect of project management was left untouched. I love the sections feature for organizing what tasks I will do when. I also love the inbox feature, as it allows me to check up on new updtes to my tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana is quite overwhelming at first and takes a little while to get the hang of. There are a lot of features, which is great when you know how to use them but can overload users at the beginning of use. It would also be beneficial if there was a way to customize the color scheme of Asana, as the colors might seem overwheling to some users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana makes it easy for teams to collaborate on different facets of the same project. It makes assigning tasks extremely easy, so no one is left wondering what they have to do and when. The due date feature makes it extremely easy to get things done on time, and tags help organize even further. Asana is espcially useful for teams with many remote employees, as the ability to assign tasks helps supervisors communicate what tasks need to be done to employees, in office or not.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana makes project management easy! Use this if your team includes several telecommuting employees to make sure everyone stays on track.

At the first sight asana looks perfect for my team, but no!

Asana let's me communicate tasks with my VA

  • January 17, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

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

  • January 16, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

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

  • January 16, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

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.

Seamless, intuitive project management software

  • January 15, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Asana is an incredibly intuitive and really easy to use project management platform/software that integrates easily into things like Gmail and even Slack. You can easily sort/organize tasks, and you get your weekly to-do list. It's not cluttered, and it has a lot of features that are helping in managing projects, such as marking some tasks as dependent on others, setting up recurring deadlines, and getting a high-level overview of projects that your team is working on.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some improvements that could be made in terms of organization and better sorting your own tasks. In addition, sometimes it can be overwhelming (and counterproductive) to see ALL your tasks laid out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helpful to track progress on team-oriented projects and being able to make comments directly on tasks/projects so that all discussion is accounted for. It also helps in thinking out all the steps/necessary components of planning a larger campaign, and planning backwards as well for timing to make sure that everything is completed on time. There is a lot less back and forth between team members because everything is laid out in Asana.
