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.

Most recently, the rollout of Work Week so tasks don't assign on the weekends have been great. Asana is constantly improving, not staying stagnant, and listening to it's user base.
What do you dislike about the product?
We'd just gotten on an Enterprise plan when not long after, they added another Enterprise plan and some of the items we'd joined for moved up into that higher bracket. I wish there was more availability in our legacy Enterprise plan for some security settings and app settings.

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. Maintenance, HR, and Volunteer Services are all now onboarded into Asana as well, enabling automation and less manual work for those teams.

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.

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?
Able to see the work the team has without micromanage them, manage their workload and reduce number of meetings.
Recommendations to others considering the product:

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.

I want more automation with goals and better integration with Google Chat/meet. I'm not too fond of the minimal reporting features.

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!

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.

What do you dislike about the product?
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.

What do you like best about the product?
Asana is excellent for personal task management, project management, and workload management. It's easy to set up a project overview and then build a timeline in the timeline view.

I wish the "my tasks" section were more customizable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project planning and management. Ability to plan marketing projects for the quarter and review full timelines. Individual task management

My fave PM software

  • May 07, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love how versatile yet structured is for planning video shoots as well as general office and life admin and that I can get reminders and schedules through google calendar.
What do you dislike about the product?
takes many clicks to schedule a task in order to populate google calendar
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use asana and the auto rescheduling to set up my daily routine and weekly schedule. Im hoping there is a way to transcribe tasks from audio via the apple watch
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want reminders for repeating tasks or to collaborate, the upgrade is worth it!

It's easy to use and promotes teamwork to meet objectives

  • May 07, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Asana helps us to plan and plot the best route to meet the objectives in our projects. It is an all-in-one tool for orderly and efficient project management. It allows us to have at our disposal an environment that will enable us to fragment projects into more manageable parts, distribute work among group members and constantly track the progress of each project and more. I love everything about Asana, from the visual to the operational.
What do you dislike about the product?
It lacks tools to make customizations within user profiles; also, its interface is a bit superficial; the above mentioned does not influence its exceptional operability; it has covered our communicative and collaborative needs in project management.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Currently, Asana plays a fundamental role in our project management. It allows us to improve our communication as a team and collaborate and move forward to complete our tasks and projects. It helps us to coordinate our work and keep all the information related to our projects within the same platform.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is a pretty effective project management tool; it unites work teams and automates many tasks that usually consume time and energy. It significantly promotes teamwork to move projects forward efficiently. You will like it as much as we do.
