Asana for project management
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ease of use and flexibility of Asana. it fits our company's needs perfectly and keeps us on track and organized.
What do you dislike about the product?
Took a little while to learn how to use Asana. Tons of features and I feel like I don't know half of them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helped us track our client projects and ongoing tasks, as well as plan and track issues and pipelines.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We went through a number of project management tools before we landed on Asana. Each has their pros and cons and it's really up to you to determine your workflows and processes to determine which is best. Try the free version and see how it works.
Asana review
What do you like best about the product?
That holds me and my team on the track. In days when I'm not on my team, I can check what tasks I've done to make sure they're on the right track. If priorities change, I can allocate or update tasks as needed.
What do you dislike about the product?
Map views/plans is not very customizable and may require certain extra options.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used to follow the line. Asana makes it easy to track food and get the names and contact details of people in the workplace quickly. Since Asana is fast and simple, it is a perfect tool to allocate projects to my employees without having to call them all the time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I advise that one or more people should be assigned to actually get to know asana through blogs, university courses, self-discovery of free websites, etc. It is useful to establish procedures for using asana now - you can fix them at any time, but you can start with something and change them if necessary, instead of starting with chaos.

A Good Cloud Based Project Management Tool
What do you like best about the product?
We've been using Asana for five years now as our project management tool in our division's marketing communications department at a major university. We like the fact that Asana is cloud based and can be accessed from any Internet browser at anytime, day or night. It has allowed us to better manage all of the details associated with the management of marketing projects -- from request through to completion. We also like the fact that we can store and manage associated project files (such as InDesign, PDF, images, and video) both inside of Asana and through connections to our cloud storage services. As a university we appreciated that many features were available at the free price point, which allowed us to get started and build a business case for a paid license.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana offers several direct connections to other apps and tools, like OneDrive, and you can connect a few more using services like IFTTT but that requires either technical help and someone with the time and patience to set them up. For project intake, for example, we use a Qualtrics survey that sends a triggered email to a generic Asana project eamil address. We then have our PM monitor that "intake" project in Asana to move requests into their own projects, which is time consuming and means data has to be rekeyed to start new projects as new requests are received. It is also frustrating that some services, like reporting, require some of the most expensive plans to access. Reporting is really a basic function of project management!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a way to manage marketing, communications, PR, and event projects across a team that is located in different buildings across a large university campus. We also wanted a way, through guest-like access, for employees to be able to see the progress on their projects as they moved from initiation to completion.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Have your project management process mapped out before your begin the vendor review process. We had a "rough idea" of what we wanted in a PM tool, but as we got into implementation, we realized that Asana wouldn't be able to do some things we had just assumed (like auto-process intake request forms). Now that we have a better handle on what our needs are, it will be easier to do vendor selections in the future if we were to switch from Asana.
Asana for project management
What do you like best about the product?
Its layout, ease of use and has a great APP. You can reorganize and re-prioritize tasks on-the-fly which makes assigning daily priorities easy and visual for employees. Lets them know what to work on first. Also has a great way to add sub-tasks/list so you don't miss a step or detail in competing a project. You can easily drag-and-drop file to share also so you don't have to fish around for needed assets. It's free for small teams.
What do you dislike about the product?
Would like it to have a CMS for contact management, other than that I love using Asana for our project management.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We solve the problem of loosing directions or tasks by keeping them organized and archived for reference. It allows me to manage the priorities of projects on a daily basis very easy, from their App in many cases when I'm out of the office. It's a super powered to-do list that help my and my company get things done. When you do get things done you get a little animated surprise too, neat!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it. It has a free version for small teams and is super easy to understand and use. The app also make management a breeze.
Workflow
What do you like best about the product?
Knowing where in the timeline a project is & being able to communicate directly on it - offering additional support or adjusting other tasks to ensure timeliness.
What do you dislike about the product?
The ability for multiple people to update - if a change in status or update is needed, it would be best for the project owner to accept the update so they are aware of it too.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is great for event planning to ensure timelines are met and everyone is staying on task. It’s allowed the need for multiple emails to notate a task is completed which saves time.
Asana has been great for our business
What do you like best about the product?
I like that we have the option to write notes. In our company a lot of employees are now remote. Asana is a great way to keep things clean and organized.
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't found anything I dislike about asana.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to stay better organized. See projects team members are working on, and able to set goals.
Solid project management tool and personal organizer - good for complex projects
What do you like best about the product?
I like that there are several formats to choose from to organize projects b/w Kanban, list, etc. It's easy to collaborate, the UI is nice and appealing and it's just easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that it's not better supported in my organization so we don't feel the full impact of the collaboration activities. I don't have any qualms with the functionality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Asana both for team projects and personal projects. Personally, it helps me keep an organized to-do list and more structured and tactical strategic methods to work with customers.
On a team basis, it's helpful to work asynchronously with teammates but keep them in the loop by assigning tasks and tagging in notes, etc. Board organization really helps.

Asana Review
What do you like best about the product?
Interface is super easy to use and modern. Easy to connect with people in the company. Has been a lifesaver when working from home.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the tasks are difficult to organize
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has made it simpler to determine who is doing what task so things do not get missed.
PM that clearly shows you the progress.
What do you like best about the product?
You are able to develop complex graphs to show the progress of yours, of course, if the project is actually delayed, the graphs also can show the effect and upcoming initiatives of the delay on the venture. Within this way you are able to look at specific customers, from which you are able to assign various duties to totally different users. In by doing this you receive an introduction of each user. The user interface is easy and simple to work with. The calendar feature will help you to monitor appointments. Asana provides a great integration using Google, Slack and other tools to actually connect it with some other existing tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
The task perspective could be made better and look much more efficient. Its export functionality is actually unsatisfactory, making exporting hard. Some mobile application features are actually limited. It's not easy to print a calendar with tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has been perfect for tracking tasks and ensuring they're shipped on time. All computer users have access rights, which means you are able to quickly set up jobs for every one of them.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a wonderful platform for planning and managing collaboration in case you are able to make your staff do it.
Great way to be on track of your tasks
What do you like best about the product?
I like that there are different ways to make task lists. Also, the inbox helps let you know what has come in recently.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that there is no app to download on your computer. That would be so helpful!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am able to organize my tasks and keep my colleagues in the loop. We are also able to break in down into different batches.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely try it out. It's very helpful and is a great way to connect with your colleagues on projects.
