A tool I wish I had years ago!

  • September 06, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The ability to organize tasks across various projects, assign company-wide follow-ups, and manage privacy settings for individual tasks is incredibly helpful. Asana helps keep both me and my team organized, punctual, and focused, allowing us to handle several projects at once. I find it to be an excellent tool not only for project management but also for a range of other activities. I rely on Asana every day to manage my many responsibilities. As a project manager, I can see how Asana would have been transformative for handling multiple large-scale, multidisciplinary global projects in the past!
What do you dislike about the product?
Creating workflows and not being able to easily edit or move sub-tasks from one task to another.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communication, assigning, and tracking company-wide tasks

Does what I need it to do in straightforward way

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like getting notified via when a collaborator has responded to an open issue/project. Easy to learn and use. I do love when you complete something and you get a rainbow colored animal flying across your screen!
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it is hard to remember where comments are -- in tasks or in subtasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We collaborate with our Salesforce consultant through Asana. It helps us keep projects moving outside of our regularly scheduled meetings.

Intuitive project management platform

  • September 06, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I've been using Asana for years across different organizations in different industries. It's the most intuitive project management platform I've used. I love that it's easy for new people to hop on and start using it with very little training.
What do you dislike about the product?
The biggest challenge with Asana from my perspective is getting everyone on the team to use it in the same way. When done right Asana is easy to navigate and good for collaboration. When people are using it in different ways, it can be difficult to find things and follow the project flow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asans helps keep our work on track. It provides visibiitly across the team and serves as a helpful warehouse of information on past projects.

Efficient, User-Friendly Tool for Seamless Project Management

  • September 06, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Asana has revolutionized the way I manage projects. Its intuitive interface and customizable workflows allow me to stay organized and keep track of all my tasks in one place. I love the integration options with other tools I use daily, like Google Drive and Slack. The collaborative features make it easy to communicate with my team, and the calendar view is perfect for visualizing what I need to get done each day. Asana helps me prioritize, set deadlines, and stay on top of multiple projects without feeling overwhelmed.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside I've encountered is that the mobile app can feel a bit clunky when managing larger, more complex projects. While it’s great for small updates and quick checks, some features don’t translate as smoothly from desktop to mobile. Also, the learning curve for new team members unfamiliar with project management software can be a bit steep, though Asana's extensive help guides and tutorials definitely help.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has allowed me to manage client projects with ease. Before using Asana, keeping track of multiple client deadlines and to-do lists across different platforms was chaotic. Now, everything is organized in one place, making it simple to stay on track and deliver on time. It also helps with team collaboration and tracking project milestones.

Asana = Automation Rockstar

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love using Asana because it offers customizable automation that streamlines tasks and keeps projects on track. The ability to build complete project workflows and seamlessly collaborate with my team makes it incredibly efficient. It's a game-changer for staying organized and fostering better communication across all projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing I don’t enjoy about Asana is the lack of integration with social scheduling tools. It would be great to have everything in one place for seamlessly managing projects that include social content.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana enables our team to work more efficiently across multiple projects. We use it daily to approve content, build workflows, and track progress.

Great Project Management Platform

  • September 06, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
As a Director of Audience Engagement and Growth at a nonprofit media company, and previously as a Director of Communications at a local nonprofit, I have been using Asana for over seven years. It’s an essential tool for managing all our projects across multiple teams, including freelancers. When used properly, Asana truly shines, helping us stay organized, on track, and saving time. It’s also a great archive of the work we’ve done, which we frequently reference. I’ve implemented clear guidelines for my team to ensure efficiency, and Asana’s intuitive interface makes it easy for everyone to stay aligned. Highly recommended for any team looking to improve productivity and collaboration.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Asana is a fantastic tool, there are certain limitations if you’re using the free version, especially if budget constraints prevent an upgrade. Even with these limitations, Asana is still a powerful resource for keeping track of projects. However, I believe it’s crucial to provide staff with proper training and establish clear rules to ensure everyone is using Asana the same way. For instance, we implemented a rule that only the task creator can mark a task as complete. This prevents tasks from being prematurely closed, which can cause things to disappear before they’re truly finished. With the right structure in place, these limitations are manageable, but they do require careful oversight.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is our main project management system. It is what we use to keep track of all projects and events happening at our organization.

Dependable, easy to use and makes my life easier

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love that I can create discrete job tasks and have a record of the details. Can't tell you how many times I've followed a thread and recalled important information. When you've got several projects and several team members it's essential to keep tasks organized. Asana does it for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
They made a recent change so that the app pops up when I'm anticipating merely replying via email. I'm getting used to this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeps track of work flow.
