I endorse Asana often for anyone interested in learning how to manage a project efficiently!

  • May 19, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Have you ever seen the big picture of a project and wondered how to put the details in its place? Asana lets me get as specific as I want, with all the different players involved, while still having the great scenery in view. Think, for example, a single domino starting while knocking over two dominoes, then four, and then more. It's like the ability to spread a wildfire with a single spark of imagination.

Asana is as easy to use as one wants it to be or as heavily complexed like a team of developers working together on a giant project.
It's all up to the designer of the journey that the manager creates. It's all open for development with endless creative possibilities and strategies that the team can implement while staying on track, focusing on tasks at hand.

I've had a chance to look at other platforms, and none of the other platforms gave me the opportunity asana did to become a certified user. Asana invested in developing a proper learning strategy for its me to implement and become an efficient user. It also uses its platform to do it with, so it walks the talk.

After going through their training, I appreciated how this platform allowed me to learn and build my management skills. It's extremely useful in business and life.
What do you dislike about the product?
Considering that managing projects within Asana begin with its usage, it does come with a learning curve. Asana takes some practice to understand but so does any other platform. With the proper training and a little patience, the team comes together as fast as the members can adopt this technology. Naturally, some members will learn a bit faster than others.

Considering that individuals learn at different timetables, I'll be the first to say that I learn certain things much faster than others. It's the same thing with this platform. Some members will catch this quickly and painlessly. In contrast, others will struggle to implement it at first.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana's helped me learn how different team members' strengths are developed. It also lets me refine strategies that the team members can check since I can create a template and use it each time. A template evolves, yet certain templates are great starting points. Also, when actions are redundant and new members need to perform them, Asana lets them have a starting point to follow with key descriptions of tasks and specific links associated with them.

This is a great thing because when the new team members come on board, they'll need guidance. Sometimes, automating the process is much more efficient. Yet, there is still some coaching involved with the usage of this platform.

Hey, this is with anything, however. The creative process takes time. Patience can go a long way, but we know that time can mean the difference in a big way.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I was in a program with Verizon and many other entrepreneurs. Some were new, and others had experienced. Since I took the time to learn how to use Asana two years ago, I remember how excited I was about becoming a better manager.

I met an entrepreneur who was struggling to manage her projects. She was looking for a better way to manage her social media management business, so I told her about Asana. I told her if she was willing to go the extra mile and learn the platform and if time was not an issue, to try it. I guided her towards the certification of the platform. She followed my suggestion, and she went forward with Asana.

Considering that when a person becomes efficient with this platform, they can implement it with their own business. They are also allowed to assist new Asana users in developing their skills. This is great for natural coaches and leaders. So its a win-win if the person moves forward with the knowledge and practices. At the same time, you don't have to go that route and use the knowledge for your own business.

If this is something that sounds interesting to you? Then give it a try. Take the time to learn it. Consider this an opportunity to self educate yourself as I did in how to manage projects differently. Possibly, more efficiently than what you may be doing now.

Asana powers our workday success

  • May 18, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love being able to build quick project plans from templates and assign my teammates so everyone knows what they're responsible for.

Celebrations in Asana make you excited to check things off and keep pushing for the finish line.

Rules help automate the project management so I can spend more time finishing tasks and less time managing the project settings.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do wish there were more rules and automations, though I know Asana is continuously improving and adding on.

I also wish we could integrate Salesforce into Asana for automatic goal tracking.

Aside from that, I LOVE everything about Asana.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Asana for everything from planning our annual 5K to planning out our IT infrastructure projects. Our marketing plans are moving forward as a result of all our projects and nested portfolios. We even plan our meeting agendas in Asana.

Our donation revenue has grown increasingly over the last few years and Asana has played a big role in that through powering our productivity.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana has made it simple and easy for us to be on the same page and move our work and organization forward. I've been in a lot of project management tools over my working career and hands down, Asana has been the best to work with. I've used it in almost every use case imaginable and it's always more than met our needs. The Asana team is also committed to continuously making the tool better and better and listen to their community of users as they implement new solutions and enhancements.

Asana is my go-to guiding light through my days

  • May 18, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Asana's easy-to-use user interface is my favorite part. For someone like me who is a visual learner, Asana's colors, design and overall look & feel make me feel excited to do my work. I also love that they make automations/formulas/functions easy for the everyday user to understand. There's no confusing "Excel style" formulas that you have to memorize. Asana's system is intuitive and a joy to use to bring my projects to life.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish Asana allowed licensed users the ability to share their projects with non-licensed users along with more capabilities. I know that I can share certain things with unlicensed users, but in my experience the limitations hinder my collaboration needs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am problem-solving for team/internal collaboration, as well as my time management.

What do you dislike about the product?
Everyone in the company needs to have an account in Asana to be able to see the projects different from other tools that you have public views
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Amazing project management system

  • May 18, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The fact that Asana is flexible and scalable. Asana has a robust learning library as part of the Asana Academy. Templates and now rul;es and triggers are super helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
I want more automation with goals and better integration with Google Chat/meet. I'm not too fond of the minimal reporting features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm running multiple departments, marketing, technology development, legal, and compliance. It's is especially helpful for remote teams.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Anyone who has a business and works with more than 1 or 2 people should absolutely use Asana regardless of the industry they are a part of.

Asana is GREAT!

  • May 18, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Asana has genuinely changed my work life. It is so helpful to begin my workday by bringing it up on my screen and referencing back to it throughout the day. It is like my virtual to-do list and helps me remember to do many tasks that would fall through the cracks as other things come up in my day. What I like best about Asana is how useful it is and a fantastic assistance for me to complete my tasks. There are many features, like adding due dates and the ability to sort my most pressing tasks to the top of the list. I am also able to make reoccurring tasks, and that has been extremely helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
There has not been anything that has come up yet that I have disliked about Asana.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am solving many problems with Asana. I can remember tasks that are monthly, bi-annually, and annually because of the feature where I can set tasks to reoccurring. There are a lot of benefits to using Asana. Having to-do lists where I can constantly add more tasks, sort, and check them all off the list has been excellent.

Great organization and functionality!

  • May 14, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Love that Asana projects can be quite customizable in the looks and placement of tasks. Asana is very user-friendly and the how-to guides are very helpful. Asana sends notifications to your email instantly so you do not miss an assigned task or comment.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish multiple users could be assigned to one task in Asana. Also I would love if there was a dashboard feature where we can customize the exact information we're looking for based on the project status.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving project management organization issues. We have really benefitted from having somewhere to document our workflow process on projects and it is helpful we can have outside vendors linked to our Asana as well.

No time tracking and it can be hard for new users (with no project management tool experience) to adapt.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to keep a team updated on tasks and who is responsible for what.
