Asana
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is great for organizing purposes. I enjoy using the dashboard function because I can create tasks and check them off as I complete them.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that they will be removing the dashboard function.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has improved our team's communication. My team and I are able to assign task to anyone within our company, and we're able to track the task's and projects that we create.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is great because it improves communication within the company and allows you to keep track of projects and tasks.
A great tool for specific needs
What do you like best about the product?
Love the timeline feature, and the ease of use.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a few features that just don’t work logically, or are otherwise complicated where they don’t need to be.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It’s hands down the easiest tool (timeline) to plan a project with. Saves a lot of time and headaches there.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a true trial run before implementing fully. There are some things that you’ll only find out through putting it to the test.
I'm slowly learning the benefits to using asana
What do you like best about the product?
I started using asana about five months ago when I joined a new team. Prior to asana I was using monday. asana is great in that it gives the entire team visibility on what everyone is working on at one time. After taking some time to learn it, I find it fairly straightforward to use. I love the board view most, and I don't tend to stray from that.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't anything I really dislike about asana. I tend to stick to the board view as my team doesn't always have strict deadlines, so the calendar view is a bit pointless for us. I also get a little overwhelmed when I view my own tasks, hence the reason I prefer the board. What can be annoying is that if I get assigned a task by another team it shows up on their board but they don't tag it or add it to mine so I can only see it in the tasks. I often miss these as I don't check boards across the company. I do however think this is something we need to fix internally and not a shortcoming on asana's side.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana gives the entire company visibility on what all teams are working on. I can easily view another team's board to understand what they are doing and where my given priorities lie for them. It allows me to better plan my own work and give realistic timeframes to materials my team is creating.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think you should at least give it a try. It is overwhelming to begin with, but if you take it one step at a time and learn how to use it properly you'll see the benefits.
A great tool
What do you like best about the product?
We have been using Asana for a long time and recently we moved away from Asana and moving towards implementing VersionOne system. I would say Asana worked fine for us but managers belived that VersionOne has more to offer.
What do you dislike about the product?
Tasking is something I did not like fully in Asana. VersionOne on the other hand is flawless in that regards. For my work It does not really impact too much but for my team it does therefore I am for VersionOne to make my team more efficient.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I mean there were no specific business gains we were hoping for but Asana was a good tool to use. Further more I like that VersionOne has made our life much eaiser with easy access tool.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
its a good tool but there are new tools out there that are better than asana
Not friendly
What do you like best about the product?
I like being able to organize myself and my coworkers in a sigle app with a lot of options. It's a web focused on improving team's productivity and it is obvious from the first minute. I like the care and effort they put to do a complete web application.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like th desing and for me I was difficult to get in. Sometimes I though I had too much options to learn about, I've needed a youtube tutorial to understand how all works.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team management and task management mainly. Also coworkership, obviously. We benefit from collaboraion and scheduling, so we improved our productivity.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend to at least try asana. I f you get how it works quickly, it becomes a powerful we application and it's useful to imrpove your productivity. I do not recommend to spend money on asana having other options, I tried it and I think we are going to stop using the paid version.
Task Management for Individuals and Groups
What do you like best about the product?
Since its rollout, Asana has been one of the better task-oriented platforms for individuals and teams. It has a very nice UI, and provides a robust set of options for amplifying, tracking, organizing, and timing tasks. For practitioners and groups who work in a task-oriented culture, it's hard to beat.
What do you dislike about the product?
As with most products in this category, Asana delivers as advertised. For teams who want to keep information at a high level--like MS Project teams--Asana is going to feel like overkill. Teams wanting to keep detail and data relationships will find a lot of great avenues within the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When I consult with teams that have a task or checklist culture, I recommend Asana as a way to start amplifying task information, most often associated with keeping better metrics (time per event, planned vs. actual, etc.) It's simple to implement and intuitive enough to get started quickly.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Always use a tool that most closely fits your culture. If task-oriented, this will be a good fit.
A Single Pane of Glass for Project Management
What do you like best about the product?
You can view organize your platform by project, and then view those projects by tasks, timeline, or on a calendar, and attach files and message about these projects. Within these projects you can also assign specific tasks to specific people, and they can update the statuses of these tasks. Very user friendly and intuitive!
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I dislike about Asana is that it's a separate tab I have to consciously remember to open and update, in addition to my email, calendar, and other project management tools. Asana is also not ideal for data collection ie. how long it's taking specific people to do specific tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana provides a single pane of glass to manage projects and keep project participants, tasks, and timelines organized.
Very flexible platform, it can be very useful as long as you have a strong process and culture.
What do you like best about the product?
The interface is friendly, the platform is easy to understand and to use and it`s flexible enough so you can create and manage projects in different ways. One thing that I missed was launched recently, which is project timelines management
What do you dislike about the product?
The flexibility can be a problem as you can use the platform in so many different ways that if you don`t have a very established process you can miss tasks or lose control and using the platform won`t be helpful at all.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project/tasks management both for product sprints/management and for marketing projects. It helped us to organize and prioritize tasks for each sprint.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are plenty of solutions in the market, you need to understand which is better for your needs and for your process.
Asana needs some UX help
What do you like best about the product?
I like how Asana uses an outline design format, allowing you to detail projects in a bullet point-like fashion. It makes it easy to see a project at a glance.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface feels clunky at times to navigate. For example, it would be so much more user friendly if users could resize panels according to their preferred size. But Asana is not truly responsive because it has a minimum width it must be open to in order to see all the content.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The company uses Asana to outline podcast projects, parts of which are assigned to different people on the team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana does its job well, but for low-level users of the program like me, it doesn't have great adaptability to my preferences that would make me want to use the product more. Rather, I use it because I have to, and put up with its limitations because it's the company's software of choice.
Product over average
What do you like best about the product?
The easiest way to manage team tasks and projects. Asana offers everything you need to be synchronized, meet deadlines and achieve your goals. Easy to use and easy to set up. All the time was happy with the app. Very visual.
What do you dislike about the product?
It has some similar areas which confuses and causes that in the end they are divided into two groups. The price would be another flaw, there are few members per team and then each member costs individually, there are no good offers for large groups unless you contact with them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I visualized my work and the work of my collegues. I made my work and the other's work advance through the various stages of the project with speed, ease and excellence.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend Asana to campanies where people have to work togheter and syncronization is very important. It is easy to use and set up, and visually looks fine, what improves your experience. You won't regret it.
