What do you like best about the product?
As you can see by the title, I'm almost a Boomer, but not quite. I "designed" my first website back in 2000. It was just a GeoCities drag and drop, but I was the only person I knew who had ever done one at the time. I've added RAM, replaced MacBook Pro screens (not touch screens though), designed on Gimp, etc. Little things. That's my tech background.

So, that being said, I can see how Asana will be incredibly helpful once I start using it regularly. For the past 2-3 weeks, I've been like a deer in headlights when I log on and then I play ostrich when I log off...without accomplishing much of anything. But now that I have attended the Getting Started and the Personal Productivity online presentations, I feel more confident. I can see how it will help me organize my projects and the rest of my life. And that is what I like best about Asana.

I am a single mom of two boys who are in college and still need me to coordinate some things for them like doctor's appointments, taxes, and school administrative paperwork. If I had known about Asana when they were young and had baseball, softball, soccer, and football practices and games I needed to manage, I probably would be a different person today.
What do you dislike about the product?
I've only tried working with Asana for the past 2-3 weeks. At this point, I haven't found a downside yet. I do see a steep learning curve for someone like me, and it's a little intimidating. However, Asana Academy has live presentations that seem helpful. I just took the Getting Started and the Personal Productivity sessions today, but I feel much more at ease with the program. It seems intuitive and I may just have to go a little slower than other folks. And since Asana emails the presentations to attendees, I'll be able to review these sessions as often as I need, which I definitely appreciate.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is helping me bundle all of my projects and tasks into one portal and that simplifies everything. My team uses Asana for all project-related communications so I am never looking for a lost email or message. It is all under the proper heading. With emails, that doesn't always happen. Too many times, the subject of an email will have absolutely nothing to do with the email itself. Because our communications are under the name of the project, I don't have to spend an untold amount of time looking for information. It's all right there.

Nice product for activity and projcet management

What do you like best about the product?
It's very easy to use, the interface is nice and clear.
Lot of functionalities
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be good to have some better only-view access to projects. It's hard to share projects' advancements with people without license
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before Asana, I was using other tools available to my group. Each one of this tool was achieving a goal that I needed for activity management, but none of them was able to achieve all.
This caused to have activities fragmented on different activity management tools and sheets. In the end this caused an end to the activity management.
With Asana I have an integrated environment that satisfies my needs: long projects' management, short and punctual acitivies, extendend collaboration

Asana has so many pre-built tools and the concept of everything being based off a simple checklist makes it easy to grasp and plan your projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes theres so many tools and templates that getting started can take a little digging around and tinkering with items.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A single place of truth for tracking all projects happening simultaneously while giving the flexibility to break each project into tasks. I can do all this while sharing twhat Im working on with my manager and teammates. Its a great tool for visibility.

What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a great tool for keeping files and attachments in one location for archival purposes or being able to search for tasks to bring up for year to year comparisons.

Asana seems to have a lot of features, however I seldom make use of these tools are they are not intuitive for use without going through some learning curve.

Asana can help set timelines and task management for team members across different departments, without having to access their calendar. Allows for hands off approach in setting goals and project management.

Fast track course in project management

  • June 10, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
All of my colleagues went to college and have some background in project management, which made me feel somewhat out of place. Whenever I tried to share my ideas or create new Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), my process often appeared chaotic and unstructured compared to theirs. This difference was frustrating and made it difficult for my coworkers to understand and appreciate my vision.

However, everything changed when I started using Asana. This project management tool has significantly transformed how I organize my thoughts and work. With Asana, my thought process has become more structured and methodical. I can now break down my ideas into manageable tasks, set deadlines, and track progress systematically.

My colleagues have noticed the difference too. They can now clearly see my visions and understand the pathways I create for our projects. This has led to better collaboration and more effective teamwork. I use Asana daily, and it has helped me develop numerous efficient workflows. Not only has it streamlined my approach to project management, but it has also boosted my confidence in presenting my ideas.

Asana has become an indispensable part of my daily routine, enabling me to create structured pathways of work that align with the high standards set by my project management-savvy colleagues.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish otter.ai for meetings was a feature to add into steps
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
its allowing everyone to see and understand the roadmap

Asana Review

  • June 10, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's extremely easy to keep track of tasks, due dates, and other important components of project management software. By tracking all of my projects in this software, I can formulate a daily to-do list with my workload to keep all items on track.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm still learning the software so there may be features I am unaware of. Currently, I wish it was easier to move project requests from triage to project mode without needing to consult my admin, but that's a minor blip in the program. Outside of that, I love everything about Asana.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping track of my workload, ensuring I am on task with my deliverables, allowing me to collaborate with other key internal stakeholders.

What do you like best about the product?
The tool helps our team coordinate our efforts, and makes sure everyone is aware of what they are accountable for
What do you dislike about the product?
While it is fairly easy to start dabbling around, it has been hard to learn how to make the most of it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The first main use we had was really to keep people accountable and to make sure nothing was lost in communication. Everything is in one place, it is very useful.
