A highly stable solution that can be used for project management and task management
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
Asana has a wonderful user experience that is very easy to interact with and has tons of integrations with other products and tools.
What needs improvement?
Asana should provide the ability to have read-only users. Sometimes, I need to collaborate with people external to my organization, and I would love to invite them to my Asana board and assign tasks to them. Sometimes, these are short collaborations. I work in marketing, and sometimes I work with agencies.
I would love to do project management on my side, which would be way easier. It's difficult to have short-term collaborations with external users because the operations team owns the final licenses, and I work for marketing.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Asana for five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Asana is a highly stable solution.
I rate Asana ten out of ten for stability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Around 250 to 300 users are using the solution in our organization.
I rate Asana ten out of ten for scalability.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have previously used different tools like monday.com and Productive.
What other advice do I have?
I am using the latest version of Asana. I was not involved with the solution's setup, but I was involved in onboarding the users, which was very easy.
I have contacted Asana's technical support with questions on how to do advanced things. Asana provides you with extensive documentation and documentation on the API so you can develop your custom integrations.
The more people use Asana, the easier it is to collaborate, and you will reduce a lot of messaging, email back and forth, and all those not-very-smart things that take a lot of time. Anyone who is considering using Asana should maximize their potential. Asana has many features like approvals, workflows, and automation, and it's best to spend some time learning them.
We were forced to take two hours of our time to learn how to use Asana, and it's a life savior. You can see people using Asana like any other tool, and then you have advanced users who utilize all the potential and boost productivity. You can really tell the people who are proficient with Asana in terms of productivity.
Overall, I rate Asana ten out of ten.
Simplicity
What do you like best about the product?
Incredibly useful tool especially nowadays with WFH it is very rare to have everyone on a team in the office and within walking distance to ask questions or stay on top of. Asana allows us the ability to assign and monitor each other's progress. I think even if we all returned to the office full time it would still be used as it just helps us remove so much wasted time and we are able to immediately identify where we are falling behind and support one another as a team to complete our targets and consistently meet deadlines I wish I had thise years ago.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing it did take a little while for me to be comfortable assigning and monitoring a large team but only a few days and I have been the go-to person when hiring new people to ensure they are up to speed with Asana and how our team operates.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing multiple projects is always difficult esecially the smaller insignificant ones that often can get away from us. By setting deadlines and reviewing peoples comments and explanations as to why a deadline has or hasnt been met on time I can advise from Asana without the need to meet dozens of people individually saving myself and them time

I have been working with Asana for sometime now, and what strikes me the most is the straightforwardness that creates transparency in what we all do together.

However, even though Asana is a complete platform, the fast pace of growth sometimes overruns the initiative to redesign some features. Wonderful in years of use, but it seems as if the ability to innovate within the service has become a little flat.

Our team has utilized the Asana software to eliminate the issue of project fragmentation and poor communication among members.

The possibility of delegating tasks, and providing feedback about the current state of the task so that subjacent tasks can be ready once the prerequisite is completed.

One of the best work management tools
What do you like best about the product?
This has been a true influence for me in my capacity of handling multiple projects, asana’s board view. It has an easily understandable design that assists in task simplification with clients, helping in monitoring the course of projects. The calendar view is really great at helping organize the timeline. Specifically, the Branding and Website projects blend together. This aspect, by itself, has been vital in my daily activities.
What do you dislike about the product?
The software is not easy all the time, especially when the updates are released. Some of the parameters are complex to manipulate, especially if you share them with the development team.

The issue of having several project timelines and deliverables at a time is among some of the problems that Asana has addressed.

Collaboration and project management made easy with Asana.

It works seamlessly with other tools enabling me to share information, ideas, plans, and objectives with my team members during ongoing projects.

My financial projects and tasks have greatly been simplified by Asana. It helps me to reduce the time I was using to track and communicate with my team. My job requires strict timelines for numbers and deadlines.
