It's a website where you can post tasks and others can comment and view them
What do you like best about the product?
We like it alot because as the Project Managers type in their progress.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana is not cheap for what it is. The difference with Asana is that when users comment on tasks, the people "following" the task get notified.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All the comments are on the cloud.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you use Word docs for meeting notes, switch to Asana. No need for Word docs in this century.
A great team hub for most of my collaborative work activities
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to set up projects and tasks in Asana. The control panel has bright colors and is engaging to use overall. The various progress meters motivate me and the people I collaborate with to get things done and marked and completed. Getting started with Asana didn't take long at all. I was able to get my account set up and connected with my group within an hour. Using the buttons and cards to update projects is very smooth and not too technical for me. There are also loads of templates geared towards very common field-specific projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are certain projects that have taken us a long time to set up. For more advanced project specification and configurations, we have to dig around for further information and do some trial and error to make things fit the way we needed. So basically, I don't feel it will always work so well out of the box for absolutely every business or creative project.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana keeps everyone abreast of project activities and status updates. We can get a quick glance at everything that's going and what needs to be done. For me, it has greatly reduced lots of the stress that I once had when I would jot project notes down and email information around to different team members. The Asana system keeps everyone more on the same page and serves as a hub for documents and files related to our projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana works great on its own for many business and creative projects, but you should definitely explore the many extensions that are offered to further your use of the platform. You can also integrate it with popular cloud-based software like CRM and online storage accounts.
Manage your tasks and activities from the web.
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has very good characteristics for the development of projects and activities, I can keep my team working and what really matters, another of the advantages of asana is having a notification system that alerts when an activity is a point expire. This tool is ideal for tracking large projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
Its interface lacks a little more color, in my opinion, I think it should be customizable at sea, and something I can not find is an option to prioritize tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In my case, I am a web programmer, asana allows me to share with my colleagues all my changes and updates, I can upload files so my team can see them.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Before using this tool take into account that you will need a time to adapt to use it, once you achieve it you will be able to obtain incredible benefits in your work.
excellent project/task management tool
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can add others and provide visibility to your team of the projects and task you are accountable for. Useful to build in collaboration between your teams.
Also helps tracking, assigning and setting deadlines.
Also helps tracking, assigning and setting deadlines.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is not as user friendly as it seems. You need someone to teach you all the perks of how to use the tool properly. Get the assistance in order to ensure efficient usage of the tool and all its capabilities.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project and task management.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure it is a tool that makes sense for all parties involved.
Control your activities and projects as a team
What do you like best about the product?
It is a very complete platform with which I can organize my projects and activities, it allows me to be able to sort and add activities to my calendar, I can upload all kinds of files and I can also keep track of the activities of my team.
What do you dislike about the product?
The search for the cards is not as good as I would like, in addition, in addition the application on Android and Iphone still needs many improvements.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Asana we avoid hiring project managers, since the administration of the activities is carried out in an easy and simple way, also with it we can keep the ideas of all the members in one place.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have time to train your team to be able to use this tool, it will be very helpful at work.
Great Tool but Expensive Pricing Plans
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a project management tool I use for assigning tasks to interns and employees, keeping projects on track across the organization, and managing tasks associated to projects within and outside of my department. It allows me to see projects at a 3000-foot view when I get too consumed with details.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is too expensive. Across my organization, several teams use Asana. An implementation of Asana is exorbitantly high. It would give us access to more project templates like gaant charts and custom tools. Asana should consider letting individual users upgrade themselves (and not their teams) or purchase templates separately.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Some use it to manage ad hoc teams while departments use it to communicate across projects. We also use it to create an automated workflow with the email-to-project system.
I Like the Software
What do you like best about the product?
I love that you can collaborate with a team in a more organized way. Scheduling future assignments per team member and what not.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes there's too many notifications. Like if a person on your team forgets to tag the specific person they're talking to, then everyone gets an update.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
File access and collaboration. Asana makes these things simple for everyone. Each person has access to the materials that they need to do their job. Team members can talk to other team members directly. So cool!
Asana Review
What do you like best about the product?
I am in Asana on a daily basis. I have never found a platform that keeps me so organized in such an easy way. My team does several marketing campaigns, which require a lot of daily tasks. Asana helps me stay on top of everything without missing a beat.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be difficult to search things in Asana sometimes. Unless your other team members have a good organizational structure (setting up projects, naming conventions, etc), things can be hard to find.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Asana to work across almost all teams in our company. It helps us all to stay extremely organized and able to comment on/see others’ projects.
Manage your projects with the amazing tools of Asana
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has useful functions such as subtasks, table view and calendar view, it also has functions with which I can see the status and progress of all my current projects in real time, so that it can keep everything in order, recently, a new one was added. characteristic of the Gantt chart that can be very useful for managing projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
It takes some time to learn how to use each Asana function, since there are many features. I can say that their tools are easy to use once you work on them, but some users struggle with more specific functions, such as panels and communication tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With this tool I have been able to work in a team in a very easy way and it works well to coordinate each member and meet deadlines.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is easy to use, very intuitive, Asana will allow you to simplify your work.
Task management, well done but redundant
What do you like best about the product?
Asana provides a way to keep track of projects and priorities, things I'm not great at and tend to keep in my head. Everybody knows that it's helpful to make a list, and Asana lets you create a detailed list you can interact with in more meaningful ways than simply crossing off entries.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lots of other business software has its own means of planning and tracking progress; they make Asana superfluous. In these cases, the more detail you add to Asana, the more trouble you make for yourself.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana will help me keep on track with the numerous new responsibilities I'm about to have. As such, I haven't realized any real benefits yet. At the moment, I'm being told to use Asana to track my onboarding progress through the LMS, hence the redundancy complaint.
