Great for keeping things organized
What do you like best about the product?
The organization, ability to assign task to others, and the liking and commenting features. Overall it's a really great organizational tool, although it does work better if everyone is using it consistently, otherwise things can get lost by people not checking their Asana and seeing what's been assigned to them.
What do you dislike about the product?
If some people are using only Asana for creating and assigning tasks to people, but some people don't use it as frequently, things can get lost in the shuffle. It's really nothing against Asana itself, more on how people us it. Although I would say their notification settings aren't great, it's pretty much either all (where you're getting emails all the time for every little thing) or nothing. This can feed into that problem, if you have your email notification off, you have to go actually check Asana, so if you don't you might miss stuff, and you can't just set the notifications to email when a new task is assigned.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping some projects and tasks better organized, and helping people view what's going on within a team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure your whole team is on board with implementing Asana for project assignment, otherwise stuff might slip through the cracks from people not checking it. Also, they have amazing walkthroughs for all sorts of stuff, so you can find the answer to pretty much any question pretty easily.
A very good estructurated tool
What do you like best about the product?
You have a lot of options for customize your planning, is a very good estructurated tool with a nice hierarchy for improvement your workflow and your capacity of work if all your members finish their task in time.
What do you dislike about the product?
We used both kind of accounts, free and premium, for a not very complete use, free account is more usefull than premium, with a limit of 5 members in your projects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are trying to get a better workflow and our planning for get successful
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We are still implementing it, we have 2 kind of accounts, some free, some premium, we are comparing the use of free ones with premium ones, at this moment we are not very happy to pay an expensive service that offers a really difficult solution, creating it more problems coordinating all of us in Asana that in other platforms, is not a bad tool, but you must to test it before and know what can offer it to you, because if you pay before of it, maybe you will not be happy with this.
Asana_ Good, not great
What do you like best about the product?
Everything is in one place and in a linear fashion. This helps keep agendas on track and easy to follow along with the many tasks included in projects. You can also follow the conversations that go along with those tasks easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is very difficult to figure out how to add tasks and details to an already existing task. It is not intuitive where to click to see details about a task or a project.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Asana to keep a large group of people involved and informed on the various projects we are all working on at once. We also use it to set meeting agendas and prioritize tasks/projects.
Asana
What do you like best about the product?
I like being able to share lists for projects between team members. It makes it easier to keep track of what needs to be done for each project in an organized fashion.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the calendar view. It cuts of task due dates if there are so many in a day. It also won't allow me to select a specific month or date range to view.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Making sure that everything gets done. It has made the office more aware of just how much work everything entails, so coworkers are more focused on finishing each task at hand.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great to use if you don't need a calendar view. Helps keep projects organized and on track.
Very useful for project management
What do you like best about the product?
I like that my team can see the progress of projects across the board. It helps with accountability and keeping us on track to complete tasks in a timely manner.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a limit to the users based on price points. I don’t dislike this enough to not use the software, it was just the only thing negative I could think of.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problem of who is doing what. Who is owning certain projects and when can I expect them to be completed?
It's ok
What do you like best about the product?
I like Asana because it's reliable and I feel like it's a very versatile tool because all you need is a project and Asana has got your back. You can even use it outside of work for just to do lists and other plans you might have!
What do you dislike about the product?
What I don't like however is that I feel like it's half baked; there are a lot of obvious useful features that just aren't offered. For example copying a task is available online but not on the app.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it as our to ticketing system. It works well because we can submit an issue, and other people can comment and update what's been done or needs to be done and because it's highly customizable, we can add our own priorities, and other info. It gets the job done.
Asana for work
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is easy enough to use and that makes adoption easy. The best part was that it made change management easy and I got the whole organisation to switch over from Trello. It made project management easy and intuitive. The Board feature makes it easy to see tasks at hand and is a good visual representation of all the work.
What do you dislike about the product?
There needs to be a better calendar feature within Asana. The current calendar is split across groups and makes it difficult to give a general overview of the organisation and all the team's involvement. The fact that to track progress of each project I need to pay extra, is annoying. It would have been a lot better if I could keep track of projects via prioritizing them according to urgency.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest task for me was to set up the organisation's structure and operationalise all the tasks in one place. As a project management tool, Asana was able to provide me with that value. It's easy to use, so for people who have never used Asana before, it was easy to get started.
Good collaboration tool for a small group of colleagues
What do you like best about the product?
Asana allows us to see all the projects that each member of our group is working on and their expected completion dates. The ability to list all tasks related to each project, create a timeline for the completion of each task, and the ultimate outcomes was extremely useful in keeping everyone on task and informed
What do you dislike about the product?
it was a little difficult to navigate each member's list of projects and tasks, and you need to have all notifications turned on to receive assignments outside of the system. This is only necessary if you do not keep the software open at all times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has allowed us to better manage our time and coordinate with each other, as we always have a farily large number of concurrent projects that overlap one another. By having a collaboration tool, we are able to work with each other without as many time conflicts and keep each other on task for the completion of each project.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great tool for small groups or departments who need better time management and collaboration tools, but don't want to spend a fortune on software. Its been a great help to our team.
Good platform to share with team
What do you like best about the product?
I liked the ability to track how progress was being made on each project, which task came next, etc. it was also very helpful to assign tasks and projects to other team members from right inside the platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although it looked good, it wasn’t as visually friendly as a platform like Monday.com. It would be nice if it was a bit more intuitive, and easy to see at a glance what the overall picture looks like.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it for assigning tasks between two interdependent teams. The benefits are the ability to communicate between teams and team mates easily, as well as track progress on projects. We’ve been able to complete more projects, with more ease.
Simple Collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Asana makes it easy for team members to stay updated the progress of a specific task, even if they are not actively logging into the account.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is not always easy to see metrics of the progression of tasks on a whole or delegate responsibilities within a task
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use asana to track the progress of deals once they are closed. It is used as a collaborative workspace where sales can see how the new client is adopting to our product
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Allows teams to track tasks or projects through phases or past checkpoints while monitoring communications and notes between team members
