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.
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.
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.
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.
Love Asana!
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solving core collaboration needs across a cross-functional team. A lot of streamlined operations and the ability to duplicate plans for similar tasks/programs.
Ultimate Workplace Management Dashboard for Businesses
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
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
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.
Asana is a useful tool!
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I can communicate with my team.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have any complaints about this tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am not worrying that emails will be marked spam or get lost in the team's inbox.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a great tool, and it's simple to use - you won't regret it!
Love Asana
What do you like best about the product?
How simple it is to communicate in Asana
What do you dislike about the product?
You can't have a subtask assigned to a project without it becoming a duplicate stand alone task
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Saving time by communicating before meetings
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be creative, you can use Asana for more than just project management
A versatile, responsive and extremely intuitive project management platform.
What do you like best about the product?
Asana allows you to visualise at a glance the project as a whole as well as create and delegate objectives between fellow teams and colleagues. You can set dates to complete by, prioritise and create sub tasks within them. I found the learning curve to very extremely easy, and it meant I could focus on inputting tasks with ease and get on with them, without having to figure out how to do so to begin with.
What do you dislike about the product?
Initially I found the mobile app a bit restricting in terms of having certain information available at a glance (e.g. columns on a list view for priority, deadlines etc.) but other than that it offers a great deal.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The greatest problem that was solved was saving time in communication by listing new objectives or issues and when to resolve them by. This saved possible meeting time which could then be used to focus on dealing with the goals and provide updates to any updates and issues. Attaching files to certain tasks to provide evidence that could be followed up with comments etc. is also extremely useful.
