Couldn't work without it

  • September 29, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Excellent for task-heavy teams like us with guests that need to see only specific tasks on specific projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
The webhooks that are available via Zapier, Integromat, and Automate.io lack some key data.
This makes our workflows significantly complex.
Asana offers some automation features in the app called Rules but they are quite basic and they don't cover our needs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Task management with great project management features.
It helps stay organized are all times.

More frustrating than dealing with your cable company -- Deceptive pricing & poor onboarding

  • September 29, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
So far it's been a good project management tool for our organization
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing is extremely deceptive. We worked with an account rep before signing a 2 year contract for Asana Business. We told the account rep that we needed 60 users, but we might need to add more in the future. A month later, when we went to add 5 more users, she said, "No sorry, you can only add in blocks of 10 users." This is mentioned nowhere in our contract. It's mentioned nowhere on Asana's pricing page. The Asana T&Cs make vague references to "pricing tiers" but they also say the tiers will be shown on the order form -- which they weren't. When it takes a few clicks and less than 30 seconds to add a new user to a software program, there's no logical reason why Asana would force you to add users in blocks of 10 (or they told us the blocks increase to 25 users once you get beyond 100 total users!). It's downright deceptive that they don't disclose this during the sales process or anywhere on the contract or pricing page.

Additionally, when we were onboarding, Asana refused to allow us to schedule an onboarding call with their team until after our contract went into effect. That's right -- we had already signed the contract. But they wanted us to wait for an extra week to even be able to *schedule* a call with their team.

Quite simply, they are a pain to do business with. It's really a shame that they operate their organization in this way, because they have a good product. But with all of Asana's fine-print "gotchas", working with them is more frustrating than dealing with a cable company.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
None yet
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get everything in writing.

Perfect project management tool

  • September 29, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Asana is relatively easy to understand and mostly gets many features in the free version, I have used asana for the last few years, and I'm feeling good having such a tool for my internal project management.
What do you dislike about the product?
Privacy is not that good with a free plan, so I need to upgrade from a free to a paid plan for some projects. add more security-based feature in free plan as well
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I found that with asana, many project-related issues like assigned tasks give deadlines flow, and status for each job easily managed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Highly recommended to all small scale company

Asana Explanation - Multi-collaboration Platform that keeping groups and an organization together

  • September 29, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a beneficial software to have, particularly when your staff has gone entirely remote recently. Asana is my favorite project management tool since it allows me to organize work and tasks over several teams or departments. Asana tracks who is accountable for every job and clearly defines the phases of an assignment and the deadlines for each step.
Collaboration on several tasks is made possible by using just one platform, and it interacts with a lot of additional items to make it even more helpful. Products such as Discord, Hub, and Firefox are examples.
Working with others is very simple, which is my second favorite feature in Asana.
Asana was clearly designed to be used by groups of individuals.
What do you dislike about the product?
This could become stressful while working on a relatively simple application that does not require these capabilities. Even when I'm using it alone or for a short job, I tend to become overwhelmed by the number of options available, and I don't always take advantage of all of its features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With the help of Asana, my organization and staff have been able to address a variety of challenges. For the monitoring duties for the actions required to accomplish them, we have already been employing this software. It is beneficial to have everything organized to allow me to understand who's really focusing on what and then when it is ready.
In addition, we all can make suggestions in a single location that may be referred to in the later if necessary. This feature is essential because my firm has transitioned to a remote environment for the time being. It allows all of our departments to keep in touch. They are constantly introducing new things and updating their software, which would be a real advantage.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I'd suggest asana if you're looking for an easy-to-use solution for tracking and collaborating on projects. This is the appropriate tool to use.

What do you like best about the product?
Super user friendly, love different view options (list, table, etc.), Instagantt integration, easy to collaborate with others
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be nice to have an easier way to toggle between accounts, but maybe this is doable in the desktop app? I generally use the web app
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Help planning and coordination across multiple internal and external stakeholders
- Realized benefits include better alignment across goals, action items/deliverables, and timelines

Useful for tracking projects & team collaboration

  • September 28, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use in task list type items. Ease of template setup and use for reoccuring projects with similar setup but varying team member engagement. Easy to setup template for full scope of project then remove any task items which are not necessary for a specific project. Easy to tie into Zapier tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
A little cumbersome to tie into various solutions, i.e., SmartSheet, DocuSign, Teams. This will be extremely variable based on the amount of support/buy in to the tool and integration with other solutions. Especially when allowing access to users external from your organization.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Asana to track project status, task list items for each project and store notes for individual tasks. Due dates are easily assigned by dependancies within a template or in a free standing project.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking to integrate with Teams or other applications, ensure your technical support team can allow access to ensure you can take advantage of add-ins or integrations. There are many great integrations. Another suggestion would be to consider whether or not your project(s) will require input from users outside of your organization and making sure you have an understanding of how that will work. Understanding the security/views/permissisions is key, but extremely doable.

Effective solution to collaborate, work together and manage it all

  • September 25, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Asana impresses from the very beginning. Compared with Jira, it shows itself more user-friendly and less complicated, when the goal remains the same: to manage collaborative work in flexible methodologies. Workspace organization and its opportunities to switch between List, Board, Timeline and so on allows you to keep the hand of the pulse of all the working process and makes team processes handy and easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Compared to Jira again, in my humble opinion, Asana needs its own "Confluence", a cross-linkable workspace to keep documentation and other valuable and essential data with opportunities to track someone, to link with tasks pages, etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Anyone in the team contributes their best into work on a product
