A fast, organized, collabrotive solution

  • July 09, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The cross-platform ability and fast pace workflow. It's incredibly easy to share tasks with others or work on projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a small learning curve. I would like the ability to set follow-up tasks, but that is what I use a CRM for
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has helped me more effectively map out my day to day and avoid being overwhelmed with tasks
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take advantage of projects and labels to prioritize and manage multiple tasks

Great task management software

What do you like best about the product?
I like the user friendly interface. It is intuitive and easy to understand for first time users. Being able to repeat tasks (periodically, weekly, etc) is very helpful and helps me to complete tasks on time regularly. Also, have you tried hitting tab+B?? A bunch of cats pop up, how fun!
What do you dislike about the product?
Some advance features are not as intuitive should have better guides and learning tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am able to assign tasks to my subordinates and see when they complete items and what's on their schedules daily. Assigning one-off tasks is a cinch and keeps communication efficient.

Super simple planning tool- useful for multiple roles

  • July 07, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The fact we can create cascading tasks AND attach documents to each task

This helps us to not only assign and work in order of importance- but we can also attach additional training documents for staff to follow just in case...
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly?

It might be a laptop issue but sometimes it can lag when trying to load

Like I say though, I think this may be our own tech issues- the software is solid :D
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We work in content marketing and promotion, so as you can guess- we have a lot of moving parts in our business

Asana allows us to create not only specific tasks, but SOP's for our team to follow

Lets say that we have an article to write

We can add all the new information, dates, tasks in order of completion etc, dates for tasks and more

(We can also view the progress as a chart which is a great visual aid)

Not only that?

We can duplicate previous tasks

This means we might have an SOP just for the content writing and editing tasks

We simply duplicate it, rename it- and then add in key goals and deadlines for that particular article

Suuuuper handy and keeps us on track!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Super easy to use
2 types of interface (Cascading and scrum?)

A great project management solution

What do you like best about the product?
With Asana, it's easy to see what your coworkers are working, the due dates, any comments between coworkers and what you need to get done.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the calendar feature was a little more intuitive and easier to manipulate to make it suit individual needs on our team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana boosts our team's productivity because it's easy to keep track of your tasks, deadlines, and help your coworks stay on top of their tasks too.

Task management made easy (and transparent)

  • July 03, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Asana's greatest feature is the fact that everything is tracked on a card, from changing the detail on it and who did it and when, through to what project boards it belongs, or used to belong to.
In a word - transparency.
What do you dislike about the product?
The inability to roll up multiple projects into a 'proper' roadmap is lacking. I know Portfolios now exist, but it's just the old Dashboard now with a cost attached.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're solving the problem of managing multiple projects and the work people do that feed into those projects.
We also use it to see what's actually being worked on as a company and whether it aligns to our strategic goals.

Asana changed my workday!

  • July 03, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I am a freelancer, so Asana's strong project management capabilities laid out in a simple, easy to use platform was a gamechanger for me. It has everything I need - different projects for different clients, tags, Harvest time tracking integration, due dates, attachment support - without being too much or overwhelming as some other platforms are.
What do you dislike about the product?
I sometimes feel like I'm always reordering tasks within a project list. There are features that allow you to automatically sort the list, but it only includes a couple of sort features (by due date, for example). But it always seems to be creating new tasks in the middle of the list, etc. Not a big deal and it's likely user error. It's just a bother. Secondly, I think the comments feature could be improved. I find it hard to view things as I scroll and when I copy and paste into the comments box, it always creates extra spacing, requiring me to 'clean it up.'
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm solving my day-to-day project management problem. I work with numerous clients and am sometimes working on multiple projects throughout the day. So, it's common that I lose track of things. Before, I was using a combination of a notebook and google calendar, but things were falling through the crack. Now, my Asana is always open and I'm constantly working in and out of it. Now, I feel like I don't lose track of anything and I work more efficiently.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Add emojis to your recurring task titles to make your to-do list more fun! In each of my projects (list view), I create a 'General Section' where I stick resources, etc. In the section text box, I'll include commonly used links and information so I can quickly consult it.

Best in the business

What do you like best about the product?
Asana is so easy to use, you can set it up the way you want. It brings transparency in your workflow so that everybody is on the same page.

Bottom line, communication and transparency has been made easier !

Working remotely, tracking your team progress is a lot easier with this awesome tool !
What do you dislike about the product?
As a downside for being a blank page type of app when you begin the usage, you get to go back and forth on certain things.

With time, you get to stabilize it and those minor set back are easily over compensate.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1- Communication
2- Centralize the information for a Project
3- Transparency

In fact, we could eliminate our internal email usage if everybody would use Asana.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana has evolved incredibly over the years. It solved a lot of painful problems I had when trying to circle information around the team.
