Manage Any Project or Process

  • March 26, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Asana is great for managing any time bound project or multi step process that involves a team of people.
What do you dislike about the product?
You can't assign multiple people to a task - you need sub tasks for the main task
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Asana with my agency clients. It makes it super easy to share their social media posts with them for approval before we add them to our scheduling platform.
I have been able to set up all workflows and processes in Asana which makes us more productive and ensures that everything is completed, nothing is forgotten.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Trial it for a process or even just for your daily workflow, you'll see the results with a more efficient process and more productivity from your team.

Excellent experience all around

What do you like best about the product?
It has the perfect amount of complexity. Trello is too simple for us and JIRA has too many features. Asana is the perfect tool for managing day to day tasks that project management team would want to use. We use Github Projects for development, but Asana is great for our sales team and project managers to collaborate on and track deadlines.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would expect there to be better integration with Slack. Having a dashboard view that allows you to easily view projects that are connected to Asana in Slack would be amazing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping tasks management under control with deadlines and assignments.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's gotten a lot better in the past 2 years. If that was the last time you tried it, its worth another look.

Great tool for keeping us on track!

  • March 25, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love the ability to add all of our team in and keep track of where we are at on all our projects across multiple clients. It is great that it communicates both online and via email. I love the tagging of people who need to be alerted.
What do you dislike about the product?
People being restricted based on email provider. It makes it hard to get people full access if they prefer a personal email.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use the "due date" function to acually schedule out the tasks I want team members to work on that day. I have successfully used Asana to manage over 300 social profiles! I use the calendar view for my team to see what they need to be working on.

I also was able to build out templates that we used for larger recurring projects. After building out the templates we saw a significant decrease in the time it took us to turn projects out because our in house communication was so improved. We also saw a huge decrease in the projects that were "lost" when someone missed an email or even just forgot to pass it off.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a great platform that is robust and easy to use. If you have multiple people working on multiple projects you MUST have this.

What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a great workflow especially if you have freelancers. It’s easy to update them on new projects and keep them accountable for their work.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes there are slight delays in assigning projects, but for the most part is pretty efficient.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communication is very easy and has solved a lot of problems. Benefits are clarity and efficiency with work flow.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's very easy if you have multiple freelancers or workers in different areas. It's straightforward and easy to update and communicate with others.

Easy to use and stay organized

  • March 22, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
For both personal and team use, Asana is very easy to use, keep organized, and complete tasks and projects on time. The hierarchy of projects, tasks, and subtasks is logical and keeps the application clean. The 'My Tasks' feed allows you to prioritize most pressing items and sort accordingly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Expectedly, there are some limitation to the free version that would be great to be able to access if you're just using the application for personal organization.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Eliminating multiple applications to keep track of daily tasks. Team collaboration provides transparency on where tasks and projects stand, cutting down on back-and-forth email communication.

Value for money

  • March 21, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The free version is great. My team and I had been using the free version for a quite few months and it worked great to fit our needs then. But as the project complexities grew we needed to the timeline feature to create Gantt charts. That's when we decided to switch to the paid version of Asana.
I like the intuitive user interface the most and the ability to create subtasks within tasks. I also like that it's easy to add and remove teammates, easy to assign tasks and receiving email notifications for upcoming tasks due is great too.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing so far. We haven't really explored the timeline feature yet, so can't say about the experience but it'd be good to see a tutorial or guidance in the app itself on making the most out of Asana timeline.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing and tracking team projects, assignments and roles and responsibilities.

Develop your activities and projects in a practical way

  • March 21, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a very good platform in which I can upload activities and projects to share with my team, its interface in general is good and it has all the tools in sight, I can have a calendar where I have all my tasks and I can also assign tasks and track them.
What do you dislike about the product?
It has a free version, however, it is very limited in terms of options and features, as its interface is lacking in personalization and finally I would like to be able to edit the images that I add to the cards.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In the development department, the use of Asana is very important, since with it we can focus on the tasks that are really important, as well as allowing me to direct my team so that they finish their work on time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend Asana for any type of business or company since it has everything necessary to work more productively.

Asana is one of the best apps I've used for team task management and collaboration

  • March 21, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best part is that it's easy to use. There is virtually no learning curve and I've been able to train my team to use it and I love that it sends notifications via email when something has happened. This and google calendar are my life. There is also the ability to sync with my google calendar so I can see what I need to do when I check my calendar. I just upgraded to the premium plan and I am able to now set start dates as well as dependant tasks. This is the best part about upgrading.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think it would be great if we could have the ability to switch between board view or list view in projects. That's it, other than that I love everything about it! Maybe also having a cheaper plan for just single users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am now able to keep track of my projects and assign tasks to my team. I don't have to dig through emails to see what's been done or hasn't. My team can also see what's going on. It's been a lifesaver to be able to keep track of everything.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely use Asana! It's changed the way I run my business. It's easy to search through

Great tool for managing multiple projects

  • March 20, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I really liked the simple and intuitive user interface of Asana that allowed me to manage multiple projects at the same time with multiple teams. I was able to check progress, get comments and feedback in real time from my teammates. Also it was very easy to attach files for collaboration and joint working. Availability of apps on both android and iOS has been really helpful to be updated on your projects while on the go.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I disliked compared to other tools available is the price of the premium version. The price can be lowered slightly to be more competitive
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was working on multiple proposals with multiple teams, and with all proposals having different project plans, requirements and eligibility criteria. We were managing earlier through email, file explorer and whatsapp. We soon realized that it is not going to work, and then tried Asana to initiate projects, capture documents, work jointly and most importantly track progress of each project through dashboards
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Please give it a try using the trial version. If it is useful and worth taking the premium services for your specific requirements, then go for premium
