Asana does what it needs to do
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Asana provides a designated spot to ask certain questions. We use it in such a way that only certain topics or teams collaborate in this space so it is divided up
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't blame Asana but I think mainly certain teams work out of here and anyone outside those teams have to learn this platform to communicate with them. This is okay but I find Asana so confusing to navigate that the theory becomes difficult when practiced.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I think the teams that "live" in this platform would see more benefits such as task management and organization. For me, it's still complicated but that's more an issue the way my company is using it
First-Time User Experience
What do you like best about the product?
The little Congratulations animation keeps you entertained as you check off a task
What do you dislike about the product?
Confusing and slightly overwhelming for a first-timer
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It makes it easier to collaborate on projects especially since we are working remotely
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It might take some getting used to at first especially if you've never used such an app before
Great project collab tool
What do you like best about the product?
I like the categorization with teams to projects. I also loved the "My tasks" feature allowing you to create your own task list separate from (or a part of) any projects. This let me create personal tasks that I didn't need to include with a project and keep track of everything seamlessly.
What do you dislike about the product?
The free version really locks a lot of features compared to some of the competitors in the space that give you more access on the free version. The price per seat is also higher comparatively.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Definitely solves the problem of people not knowing project statuses - really keeps everyone on the same page. I also love the project status update feature that you don't see in some other project collaboration tools.
Productivity almost automated
What do you like best about the product?
I love how this platform is able to take the information from multiple projects and display it all at once or in different views to get a macro or micro view of my work.
What do you dislike about the product?
I appreciate the ability to upload spreadsheets but it's a lot of work to reorganize current projects to switch to asana. It would be easier if I started asana when I first onboarded.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I love being able to see multiple tasks from different projects in one timeline.
Asana: Beautiful and Effective
What do you like best about the product?
Asana offered all the classic functions of project management software. Clear organization structures. Easy labeling and assigning and a host of effective integrations. I particularly enjoyed using the Harvest integration, which added considerable efficiency to our organization.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana had some roadblocks when it came to customizing. Programs like Wrike offer way more robust reporting functionality and the ability to create custom fields.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana gave us a way to keep track of milestones during campaigns. It offered us the ability to task out assignments to our employees and then track the progress of those assignments. With the Harvest integration we also tracked time budgets.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider what integrations you can use with Asana to help combine and streamline processes in your company.
Great for project management
What do you like best about the product?
This is great for project management or to track large projects. The ability to rope other team members in and to assign different roles is so helpful. We enjoyed this over other programs because of ease of use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can be a bit difficult to setup when you're first getting started but one you have it layer out how you want it, it works like a dream.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
By using this we're solving the issue of not knowing where people are on various tasks on a project or when certain people pick up their task. This allows it to all be laid out. This helps with collaborative efforts.
Great Task Management Software
What do you like best about the product?
Their basic free plan is a great starting point for small companies just getting on their feet. It offers a lot of stuff for free.
What do you dislike about the product?
It didn't seem very easy to deal with repeatable tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used Asana to help our team delegate assignments to other employees and to keep ourselves organized.
Productivity and Project Management for the remote team
What do you like best about the product?
Asana makes it very easy for a user to quickly see all of their tasks assigned for the day, week, month, etc. It allows you to segment your tasks into individual projects, keeping you accountable. The boards are a valuable function if you're working with others or other teams on projects. It's a great way to keep people updated on your work.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are ways to create multiple tasks or threaded tasks if someone can't complete one task without another task completed first. This is a wonderful feature, but it's not very intuitive or user-friendly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana keeps remote teams connected. We can easily communicate what projects are needed, when deadlines are, and share resources and updates on all of our work projects and collaborations.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think Asana is a valuable tool for any business managing projects across teams. However, I think it's a necessary tool if your team is remote.
Asana is some what cumbersome
What do you like best about the product?
DIfferent ways to classify projects that can connect to other projects streams.
What do you dislike about the product?
Since you can organize projects by separate streams the dashboard can get cumbersome and things can get lost.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Multiple cross-referencing project management streams.
Delegation and collaboration for your team in one place
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can assign tasks to other members of the team and track overall progress of workflow and it has a very clean interface . It also helps you keep track of your own work related tasks in one place which increases focus and helps you meet those deadlines. You don't have to worry about forgetting something if you get into the habit of entering tasks here and setting due dates.
What do you dislike about the product?
I almost didn't know where to start. It's a simple interface but I wish there were suggestions for how to get the most out of it. I also wish there was a way to set reminders for the tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's helping keep our small team organized and focused on what each person is good at. We can easily delegate, collaborate, and manage overall productivity to ensure maximum output.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you do a walkthrough with your team and set a clear process for how you want to use the task management system so it is used consistently. It won't work well if everyone isn't actively participating.
