Help my team collaborate, share information, plan workload and projects
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing, I cant say that there is anything I don't like
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communication in my team. We use Slack and then create tasks from slack and put them in projects in Asana. We then tag the projects and link them to OKRs

What do you like best about the product?
That you can assign tasks and add deadlines to tasks. It makes it easy to collaborate and prioritize. It's made it easy to be able to see all my events in one place and to plan for my workload accordingly. It really easy to use, the support and training available from Asana are great.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was a better task template feature. Sometimes switching between view could be better, or it would be nice to be able to see attachments (PDF and spreadsheets), directly in the platform without having to download.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Planning events and tracking deadlines.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend, it's a useful tool. Even the free version is a good place to start managing your projects.

By far the best tool to organize anything - personal to team-based.

What do you like best about the product?
Asana's complicated...but simple. It's hard to describe, there's an elegance in the design that makes it incredibly easy to find yourself falling into an extremely productive and personalized organizational system. I personally track my entire sales pipeline inside Asana, for example, as I can see what I need to see - and not see what I don't want to see, all with minimal set up.
What do you dislike about the product?
I could go for a better mobile app, or some automation behind automatically assigning tasks to myself if it's a personal board. Unattributed tasks can get lost at times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm personally organizing both my family activities, as well as my sales pipeline within Asana.

For my family activities, it really helps me make sure I'm covering the bases I want to cover to be a great friend, husband, and father. For my sales pipeline, I have a card for each opportunity as well as a column for when I'm expecting the business - the board view plus the list view and custom fields makes it an incredibly efficient tool to look at my pipeline from afar.

Prior to my new role, I had organized our entire sales development team from Asana as well, each person was a card, and it allowed me, as the administrator, to assign tasks to managers to follow up and/or give feedback on each individual person in an incredibly organized manner.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Highly recommended.

I've vetted out several project management tools, from JIRA to Trello. It accomplishes that perfect in-between of functionality and simplicity. Don't underestimate the value of simplicity.

You can assign tasks to different users and see other users tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
I like all aspects of Asana thus far. Very much what we needed in a task management tool.

Organizing the lists of tasks needing to be completed. Sorting the tasks by due date has been a great advantage for users to see what needs to be done and when.

Collaborate with team members on ecommerce project

  • October 22, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I find the task creation and sharing the most helpful as everyone can see who is doing what and by what deadline. The messaging is also well designed.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike how the inbox is arranged where you need to scroll to find the most recent comment on a thread.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quicker communication and organization between team members, which was difficult before because we work virtually at different locations.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider the features and whether they are sufficient or can be used in a way that works best for you.

Team building and task sharing/management made easy

  • October 22, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is free up to 10 members, you are able to share a task that is assigned within a project with someone’s name and still have other people follow-in and comment or add files , the deadlines are easy to respect and follow a time line because you manually can sort your list in priority view, ease of use and good interface , mobile is versatile and compact version which lets me use on the go.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much really , I would only increase file size adding to more than 100mb because as a graphic designer we sometimes need these large files shared other than by email/we transfer
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We work in team and enjoy the organization behind tagging and classification of tasks , also being able to comment and share documents right away and use deadlines and timelines for projects
