Asana - you get what you pay for
What do you like best about the product?
It's free. If you cannot afford to pay for a project management tool, Asana is a good choice.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a little clunky and not as easy to use or intuitive as other project management tools, such as Basecamp.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have used Asana as a part of a team to streamline communication and decrease email. We haven't found it to be a timesaver and therefore have mostly gone back to email.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If budget is your main consideration, Asana is a good choice. Otherwise, there are other project management tools out there that are much more nimble and easy to use.
It's ok
What do you like best about the product?
Reminders on upcoming tasks and ability to group tasks by project. I also liked being able to assign projects to different people
What do you dislike about the product?
Poor organizational abilities, found it hard to prioritize and keep track of which projects I had to work on
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Assigning tasks
Confusing all around.
What do you like best about the product?
It's a good system to manage tasks, and it's nice that I can assign them to different people and get an update on their work. It's also nice that everything can be consistent between projects. You can also add multiple files to a task.
What do you dislike about the product?
The system is really confusing. First off, I wish there was a way to organize by client or project number, and I wish there was a way to have different task templates for different projects without having to make a copy of every task. Also, maybe I'm just using it wrong, but I can't seem to figure out how to assign a task to multiple people so they all get updated. The program isn't very self-explanatory, and we have huge documents at work to train us on how to use it. Most of the time people get confused and do it incorrectly and the rest of the team gets confused. It would also be nice to be able to set up reminders for recurring tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's definitely better than just sending a task request through email where it can get lost. It also gives us notifications when our project is finished so we can just go to our dropbox and start using it immediately.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I feel like it's a system that requires a lot of practice and adherence to protocol. Depending on your company's needs you'll have to come up with your own system.
Task Management
What do you like best about the product?
You are able to upload your documents, ideal for approving artwork and images for specific campaigns
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana´s demo is all about *work without e-mail” and it’s totally the opposite you end up reading twice as much e-mails and as a result twice the work having to update your communication on your e-mail + on your asana.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Task Management between teams, no benefits I found very dificould to find the conversation I was looking for
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don’t choose ASANA, I prefer JIRA and Basecamp
