Asana streamlines internal communications like no other product.
What do you like best about the product?
My workplace utilizes Asana to minimize the number of communication channels my team utilizes. It has made project management so much easier, too.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside to Asana has been the learning curve associated with adoption. Not every team member is on the same level, regarding product knowledge.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The number of emails and meetings have been reduced drastically since my workplace started using Asana. We are working more efficiently because of this product.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just give it a try and you'll see how much your organization can benefit from adopting Asana.
The Best Thing
What do you like best about the product?
Having everything in once place. I love that I can now set up projects with dates and use it as a template. We have no-weekly product launches and this was a tremendous help! We also upgraded recently so now we have teams so now everyone only sees the projects they need to see instead of everything.
What do you dislike about the product?
Inability to change from list to board. We use boards for each department and some prefer lists so I have to create multiple projects and multi-home things to be able to see it in both versions and that a huge pain. Being able to switch between list, board and calendar would be a great feature.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My department was in chaos when I started and after researching multiple platforms, Asana was the best one. It has helped us become so much more organized than ever before.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get the premium version and watch the trainings. They are so helpful.
Asana is a true game changer!
What do you like best about the product?
I use Asana for HR Operations activities, the project feature is so easy to manage. Task assignments have been a game changer for our onboarding activities, depending on the new hire's role there could be 12 different departments participating in pre and post onboarding activities. Before Asana onboarding a new hire could take 3 weeks, now it's done within a few business days.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside is at this time there isnt an automated date rule in place for projects. We use the CSV import feature as a work around. The project template remains in a Google Shared Drive CSV template, including the date rules for task assignments based on the triggering date (new hire date, leave date, exit date, etc). Only adds a few extra minutes to the entire project management process, so completely worth it!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Asana projects for the entire employee lifecycle, as well as for our 1:1's and project management for Quarterly Goals.
Finally, My Team is on the Same Page!
What do you like best about the product?
I can see what my team is working on! We use Asana to collaborate and keep each other in the know about projects and tasks. Now, it's easy to see a summary and then dive deep if needed.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is no two way Google Calendar integration.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There's never a question of "what are they working on?" or "Do they have bandwidth to take something else on?" anymore. Asana has helped us make sure all projects are planned and finished in a timely manner.
Getting things done
What do you like best about the product?
Even the free version helped a colleague of mine and me to work across our different disciplines/fields. We were able to coordinate in a way we never could with the tools given at our work. The team I am working in now is rarely at the same place, so we use Asana to coordinate across borders and continents. It is helping us to manage requests, stay on track with our milestones and to never miss a deadline.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some functionalities depend on third parties and are expensive. I would prefer not to have to provide such broad access to my data. My biggest issue with Asana is, that it is tailored too much towards businesses, the academic research sector is almost neglected, which also shows with the roles you can pick in questionnaires or when it asks about the company I am using the software at. I think it is a missed opportunity not to cater more towards that type of user.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our team is rarely in one place at the same time, so it helped us to stay on track with our milestones and getting closer to our goal.
Easy to use tool that makes work efficient
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is extremely user friendly. It's very easy for even a first-time user to understand. I love that it tells me exactly what's due each day, and where things are in the process. The subtasks make it easy to ensure that all parts of a project are completed. The comments also make it easy to communicate with multiple team members working on a project.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the differences between tasks and projects can be confusing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using Asana allows things to be done on time. I wish my previous organizations had had a system that shows work and due dates so easily!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make it easier to view attachments.
Integrating Asana into an Organisation
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about Asana is the ability the layout by project and tasks, as well as the choice besides list vs. board
What do you dislike about the product?
For a small company, or a Non-profit, Asana prices are a bit high.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Task management used to be a problem in the organisation I have led for the past year. No one knew who was doing what, what was left to do. Asana has solved that problem. Not only that, we've realised that one of the best benefits of Asana is that it helps our organisation maintain continuity with the every-year changing national board.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take the "Learn Asana Basics" course from Asana Academy
Great workplace to collaborate.
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to collaberate with others using asana. I also love the ability to check off your tasks and move them in to different sections as you are working on them and completing them!
What do you dislike about the product?
the only thing i dislike is that if someone tags you in a workspace it can get easily lost and you may not see it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I feel like there is a lot more organization when it comes to projects and know where each person is in their journey.
A different kind of tool
What do you like best about the product?
I like the easy with which you can add tasks. In other tools, you need many clicks. I also appreciate the mobile app which I consider helpful especially when I am on the go.
What do you dislike about the product?
The biggest pain is that I can't switch the view between task list and board (thus it's being developed now) or organize boards based on custom fields. I would also welcome being able to use multiple filters at once.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I manage work in several different kinds of companies: consultancy firm, eshop, saas development and production company. In general Asana helps me to organizace work and loop other people in it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana lets you organize your work in many ways (it doesn't limit you) - not all of them will be correct for you. If you invest some to understand its features and best practises, it will pays of in the long term. Also, please talk about implementation with the team and help them with onboarding. It can be overwhelming at first for those not used to work in project/process management tools.
Asana for all
What do you like best about the product?
Asana provides a UX/UI that allows for seamless collaboration across teams and departments. Working together has never been easier. It allows for management of personal to-dos and projects. It's never been easy to manage multiple projects with many stakeholders simultaneously as Asana will let you know what you need to work on and when to meet you deadlines.
What do you dislike about the product?
It isn't as easy to integrate your personal (home life) to-dos as Asana requires a business email. It then doesn't make sense to set up your personal life inside your business Asana in case you change company and have to migrate all the information.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cross-functional work management. We have spent less time in meetings and sending emails (doing work-about-work) and been bale to increase our improve and improve quality.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Invest time and effort in the onboarding process. Don't rush. Ensure everyone is comfortable with using the tool.
