Great tool for tracking projects

  • April 27, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is straightforward to set up a project and track milestones.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have issues with the permissions in Asana. For instance I will click through a link and be told I don’t have access to view the content...but I have no way of requesting access to it or seeing what exactly I don’t have access to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project tracking, collaboration, milestone setting, task assignment.

Asana makes project management easy for everyone

  • April 27, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It’s so easy to create tasks and subtasks in Asana. Developing scrums and using agile project management is much easier than before. I really love that everyone can drag and drop different documents and collaborate in one space. It's also really helpful to see everything in the calendar view.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some areas like Gantt charting that aren't quite as easy as they are with other systems. I also dislike how difficult it can be to search for specific tasks. For example, if you don't search for the exact task name, it can take forever to find what you're looking for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We’re solving a lack of organization. For the most part, things are no longer slipping through the cracks. Additionally, the product is helping with accountability. We can easily tag and mention various members of our team when they need to have eyes on specific projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're considering Asana, just make the switch. It'll be easy for all of your company to use – including those who are typically less responsive and/or tech-savvy.

Fantastic program management software

  • January 09, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a great tool for tracking projects, especially with teams. Individually, I use it as a robust task list, with specific projects and task headers to stay on target. As a team, we use it to check in about projects, share status updates, pull in others we need input from, and queue other tasks once a task is completed. This will be my third organization I got to set up Asana, and it saves our team so much time and capacity.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the help desk challenging, as it often takes days or weeks to respond. Sometimes I miss the response email and don't see that a response has come through until I log in to submit another query.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Prevent unnecessary emails and important project-related information getting lost in various communication channels, stay on track of my own projects and others where my input is needed, avoid forgetting important deadlines, projects and strategic initiatives.

The best project management tool ever!

  • October 20, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Where to start...I love everything about Asana! But I think the best part is how easy it is to use. Plus the user interface is easy on the eye ;) I also love the little animations every time I complete a task!! I've recommended this product to my husband and they've started using Asana for a month now and love it too!
What do you dislike about the product?
I didn't like the fact that I couldn't put in start dates for a project but I see that it is now available in Premium :) Also don't like that you have to put a task into a project to be able to see it in the calendar view. Not sure if this has changed with all the upgrades...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before Asana, there were projects that would get forgotten until the last minute, because the info was buried somewhere in my email inbox. We didn't know what projects the rest of the team was working on or how far along they were so if a team member was away from work and a client contacted us to find out we couldn't actually give any feedback. Now we have easy access to what everyone is working on, we know exactly what's outstanding on each project. Information for each project is stored in one place, so no more trying to wade through emails!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just try it...and you'll wonder how you ever survived without it!

Very Useful

  • October 19, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The fact that I can organize my weeks, all with using one helpful tool. Whether I think of something I need to complete or any of my co-workers, we can just add a quick task. The fact that in each task you can put the description and add other sub tasks that relate to what you are trying to do is awesome.

It really allows me to stay on top of things without trying to remember every little detail.

I also like putting my updates about the project in the comment sections, so my teammates can take a look to see where I am with something. The email reminders everyday is pretty cool too, just in case I forget to login and check.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can honestly say I haven't found something I don't like. Overall this app/website is very useful and user friendly!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Whether my company has a project we or I need to work on, we automatically go to Asana.

So I am able to come up with a solution to any issues by corresponding with my colleagues about the topic/issue via this website without it disrupting the work day.

My boss also assigned all my onboarding things I needed to get accomplished to get more familiar with the company, when I first started. It was hands down unlike any other thing I have seen at previous jobs. It really allowed me to know which direction I was heading and how to get there.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
DO IT! It will seriously keep you organized and on top of all your tasks. I have already recommended this website/app to others. I love it and don't know where I would right now without it.

Asana makes our lives so much easier!

  • October 19, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy it is to create a project with tasks & sub-tasks. This makes it easier to track, assign tasks, and visually see the flow of everything that has ever been done. Emoji integration & the application is also very helpful for keeping motivation up as well as staying connected at all times.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike how difficult it is have to click "Load more" when there are many tasks created within a task. Formatting (bullet lists, tables, etc) within the Text Area also has room for improvement to be able to past in more advanced content such as a table for example.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have solved the problem of not knowing who has done what when it comes to project managers assigning tasks. We now can hold responsibility as far as who has completed what work and who has assigned the correct or incorrect tasks. We are also able to hold accountability based on how long it takes to complete tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana works excellent if you need a simple task management system that integrates with many other platforms and is extremely easy to use.

More updates with my colleagues in an easy way

  • October 19, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
As a product designer, it's really practical being in touch with my boss and collegues for my projects updates, in real time getting rid of many emails.
What do you dislike about the product?
Actually I'm not having any problem with it, it's just a little hard to start it with people hard to convince on using new approaches.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In my product design process is helping me a lot reminding all tasks to me and my collegues. And thanks to Instagantt my new approach to the Gantt is more user friendly.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try and then you'll see more and more people will join it. Thanks to manuals and how to videos, there's a lot of material for getting started. Now since my team is getting bigger very soon I'll go for the Premium subscription.
