A must-have project management tool

  • September 18, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The first thing that I immediately liked on Asana was the look and feel. It is clean and the ability to customize it makes it even more appealing.
The philosophy behind it is straightforward and very easy to understand.
Team and projects are the heart of the system. On each project, there are tasks and subtasks. That allows teams to organize and break down each project into multiple sections.
Features such are templates, tagging and easy assignment as well as timeline offer a great set of tools that help the overall process.
Also, addons like Everhour (time tracking) provide additional functionality to the product.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana lucks the ability to have a full view of an employee across all projects that he/she is involved. This is something that will be added in the near future though.
Also, I would love to see more options that resemble Jira - like sprints for example.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is the single PM tool that we use internally and externally with clients. This way we have a single point of reference for all our communication and project management.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is an amazing tool that can be used to track the activities of an entire company to a single place. The toolset is extremely easy to use and add-ons provide even more functionality to the product. We removed all other tools (Podio, Basecamp) from our toolset and now we use Asana internally and externally.

Great product for task management and team collaboration

  • August 01, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Asana has a really nice user flow and its easy to get started with. It's great for team collaboration, management and prioritization of tasks, as well as sprints planning. Onboarding new team members and getting them up to speed with a project requirements has never been easier. I like the custom themes, as well as months planning calendars. I also use it for my personal projects, it makes it easier for me to track my work and to have all the information that I need in one place.
What do you dislike about the product?
There really isn't much. The tagging system is a bit simple for me, I would like it to be a bit more customizable, but overall I am satisfied with the service. There has been in the latest months some of a downtime, which needs to be tackled.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using it for our daily work for estimating, planning and managing team tasks. The main benefits are ease of use, availability and reliability. You don't have to waste time changing between email, spreadsheets, even desktop sticky notes, to manage a company's projects. The tool organizes all your team's work (like tasks, calendar, goals, files, notes, and more) in one place, so it's the only tool you need to coordinate tasks and keep projects on track. Moreover, with the teams feature, it is really easy for me to swap between my work, university and personal projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Best tool to keep all of your projects and team information and collaboration in one platform.

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The way you create tasks within lists and combine them into multiple projects, across all the teams involved.
What do you dislike about the product?
Mac App would be nice to have and some better visual customizability like Dark mode.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keep tracking of what is needed for which element in our workflow. Great tool to get the team involved.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look into some of the features they are working on. It will be the tool of the future. Fascinating!

Great project management tool for teams

  • July 31, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
At Boot Camp Digital, we use Asana every day! It was easy to figure out right away, and it didn't take long for my team to start setting up projects and adding tasks. My team has liked the integration with our other tools and the ability to communicate and assign tasks to each other.
What do you dislike about the product?
We wish there were more of the team functions in the free version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With a virtual office, it's super helpful to know what everyone's working on, what is coming, etc. We don't have to guess or keep checking in on each other, and we can all easily assign each other tasks as needed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you like the Discussions feature in Basecamp, this product is going to be a little lacking. It's still a great software though, so finding an alternative might be a good option.

It's easy to use. Easy to create tasks, and helpful when you have recurring tasks that your need to get done every week. A great way to keep things organized and helps you not forget anything.

Not as helpful for tasks that only happen once. It's still ok, but more ideal for recurring tasks.

I can’t think of anything I dislike about the product.

Asana is the best Company and project managment tool

  • July 13, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Asana is great to organize a comapny and its projects. Great use of Multiable organizations and projects within them. Task tracking is great with comments and task statuses. Ability to switch a project into a board instead of a list is also a massive plus. The intergration with outside tools like git and slack is also a very big plus.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be over complecated and very daunting to new users. If you start a Asana organization from scratch you wont have this problem. But if you are introduced to a slack that has been used for years its can take alot of time to get used to it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is there to solve core issues of our company. We use it for clients ptojects to scope out the work and assign tasks. We also use it to keep track of company polices and accounting. Basically it can store and record every thing you need to do in a company and can be used by every single employee.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
No mater what size company you are then Asana is definatly worth it. Finding a tool that keep track of every inch of you business for projects to polices to recruitment is no easy task. But Asana does that perfectly and I higly recommend it. You do not need the paid version unless you want to have massive teams but in general they allow 15 users per team so its quite big.

Asana helps me organize projects and make lists

  • July 07, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can share lists with team members and make comments and notes about each task. It is also helpful to assign tasks to different people, it makes it easy to work with a team. I like how I can separate and colour code my projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the way the side bar is designed, it makes it difficult to find projects. I also found the free version very limited.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows me to collaborate with others on projects in an organized manner. It is easy to share and invite others to join. I like using the app that helps me stay organized when I am away from my desk.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend Asana to anyone wanting to better organize their projects. I like that there is an app that you can use on the go. And it is good for collaborating with others.
