  • May 13, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Asana was instrumental in helping our global marketing team transition to Agile. It has helped us track and visualize our sprints and provided us with visibility to what other teams are working on.

We evaluated several other work management platforms but Asana was the clear winner due to its ease of use and attractive UI.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's nothing that I dislike about Asana but there are some features that I'd like added. For example, we are using Asana to house campaign and content calendars and it would be nice to be able to see who has viewed the calendars and when.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has provided visibility and transparency. It has fostered teaming and connections. It has helped us to onboard new team members. It has helped to empower team members.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend Asana. It was easy to implement, easy to administer and Asana provides excellent support.

Best projecttool to manage your workflows

What do you like best about the product?
Asana is an intuitive tool that doesn't require any extensive training to be used. Making projects, tasks and subtasks and assigning these to project member is the simplest thing to do. This way you can create easy project or task lists with all the status updates you need. And it's highly customizable for ones needs so Asana doesn't dictate what you need, but you can create what is needed for your own situation. When standard procedures are annoying for you, you can just automate parts of the process in Asana also which spares you time. The continuous updates that are being released make the tool better every month.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like a full integration with Outlook tasks and agenda. It's now only possible to create tasks from Outlook e-mails.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting an overview of all your work tasks and projects
Not losing track of tasks progress statuses
Being able to share the task lists projects with third parties easily
Less e-mail traffic because you focus on communicating through Asana
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try the tool immediately and undergo the ease of interface and inetegrations with other tools. Setup your first projects and start putting in tasks and assign them to others.

What do you like best about the product?
We loved Asana for our bookkeeping firm and we need to an app that would also create invoices.
We also loved the tier training sessions for our staff.
What do you dislike about the product?
We could not make invoices for our time spent on a project. We could have used an invoicing app but it was too expensive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management, facilitation to modify a batch of projects and tasks.
Better management of projects.

We’d be lost without Asana!

What do you like best about the product?
Love how "approachable" Asana is. The friendly, light branding goes a long way, in my book! They also have a wealth of tutorials and templates written in plain English that help the daunting task of project management seem a little less overwhelming....and, dare I say, a little fun?
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a plus and a minus that Asana has so many awesome features. I sometimes feel like I'm not using it as efficiently as I could be, but it not really the software's fault that I'm a perfectionist!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our company rarely has time to all be on our computers tackling things at the same time- Asana helps us all stay on the same page from afar and keep important, pertinent info all in one place.

Asana has made it so much easier for me to manage my own time.

  • May 12, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love how flexible Asana is. I can create my own columns to track varying elements of my tasks. This makes it super easy to manage the time I estimate each task will take too. It's also easy to change the format for each project based on what that project is. Is it an internal learning tool the team needs to implement? Is it an event? Is it a general marketing campaign? These also look so different from each other, and Asana allows us to create based on that specific project.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's hard to get everyone onboard in Asana. There are so many pieces to learn, and nuances for our specific team, and can be time-consuming to get in and learn. So really the fact that Asana is so robust is the biggest challenge we face when getting members of our team to use the tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're working on getting people to plan further ahead with their small day-to-day tasks, but we're also using Asana to think through bigger projects that are coming down the pipe too. So ultimately Asana is our planning tool to manage our teams' work and workload.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would strongly recommend Asana because it's so customizable and yet easy to use at the same time.

I truly appreciative the collaborative nature of Asana, allowing me to use it for both my professional and personal life.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was more of a gantt chart-like view.

Solving core collaboration needs across a cross-functional team. A lot of streamlined operations and the ability to duplicate plans for similar tasks/programs.

What do you like best about the product?
Asana is the only tool in this space that is loved the most. Asana helps our organization work cumulatively on a project seamlessly. We can create, assign, and manage tasks with the greatest of ease. It helps us break down a huge project into small tasks and assigns those to multiple team members where they can work and update progress in the description box embedded within the task menu. It reminds about the tasks which are due by some date in order to help us priortize our work. It allows us a lot of conveniences to work with no trouble while working remotely.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana is a great tool yet some drawbacks are there. If a task is to be assigned to multiple people, it won't allow you to do that. Apart from that, if you are working on a task from a long list of tasks and you have to go to the next task you have to go back to the previous master task to jump to the next one. It doesn't provide you the convenience to jump to the next task from the previous one. That consumes a lot of time when we are working under pressure.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using it to keep a record of the tasks I have performed in a day. Additionally, I'm using it to track the progress of the tasks assigned to my team. I'm using it to gather data from multiple people working within the organizaion in several departments. At last, it reminds me of the due tasks and helps me prioritize my work.

Asana is transforming the way we work

  • May 12, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Asana makes it so easy to collaborate and provide visibility to those who need it. It also provides instant stats on workload and schedules, which makes resource management so simple!
What do you dislike about the product?
There are two things that I would change about Asana and that is allowing 'people' and 'date' custom field types. Asana doesn't allow this by design and I understand their reasoning but for more complex workflows that provide close collaboration between people and teams, it would make it much more simple. Also, in a marketing environment, we need to track dates other than just due date, such as review dates, premiere dates, flight start and end dates. We can capture additional dates in text fields, but we can't control date formats and there is no easy method for tracking or seeing them on a timeline.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We finally have insights into the work we do, volume, timelines, client insights, etc. That is going to be invaluable in strategic decisions about staffing and budgets. It is also providing insight to people with super ease and clarity. Another thing that I LOVE about Asana is that you don't have to wait to build a perfected workflow to start using it. We stood up a fairly simple workflow and Asana is so easy to optimize as you use it. Phased improvements being introduced to a team that already has familiarity with the tool will lead to more successful adoption with less disruption.

great task management tool

  • May 12, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
i love being able to check the progress of assignments without bothering my team, sometimes the stop and start can be really detrimental to a project. I have used a few other tools like this and the collaboration is far superior.
What do you dislike about the product?
nothing comes to mind, it's a great tool, haven't heard my team complain at all either.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
keeping everyone on track during long projects to meet deadlines was always a challenge, things get buried and forgotten about until it's due, this allows everyone to see what's due and can be reminded of what needs to be done and who's responsibility different pieces of a project belong to.
