Better Company communication and integration!
The Right Fit
What do you like best about the product?
I love details! Asana allows me to get as detailed as I want in my tasks and projects. I can have layers of subtasks or a broad overview depending upon the needs of my clients. Equally as important...Asana has character! I love the celebratory narwhals and disco ball unicorns! This easy flowing mix of business and light-hearted fun feels like just the fit for me and my business!
What do you dislike about the product?
I would really love to have all of my Asana workspaces integrated into one dashboard so that I don't have to toggle between clients. The ability to pull together all of my clients' workspaces into a single source of truth for the projects that need my focus would be amazing! Additionally, having a more robust chat integration with a searchable framework would eliminate the need for Voxer or Slack. Right now I am forced to take client messages from these platforms and add them into tasks or projects within Asana. This takes up valuable time and also means something might get missed if it's not addressed/transferred immediately.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communications around projects is efficient within Asana allowing for fewer details to fall through the cracks. I love that I can create a follow-up task from an @ mention that appears in my inbox! Asana has made me more productive and given me much more peace. If I get things OUT of my brain and INTO Asana then I can rest easy that all will be accomplished on time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I absolutely recommend Asana to anyone who's ever laid awake at night worrying about all of the tasks on their plate. Get those tasks out of your head and into Asana and realize a new peace of mind!
My life runs by Asana
What do you like best about the product?
I love to create subtasks to break each task up into less intimidating things to do on my list.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was an easier way to quickly push a task to the next day or week.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Running multiple websites, I've streamlined my posting processes and so much more.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's great for a simple to-do list or detailed project plan. Organize your household and your business with Asana.
Effective task scheduling, collaboration and tracking
What do you like best about the product?
Asana makes it very easy to manage a task list or a small project schedule in a Kanban or list view.
I really like emailing to create a task as well as create custom data fields. This makes adhoc time tracking very easy to do.
The kanban view helps when managing a specific sprint or smaller area of focus. The intra-project linking is also a useful feature.

What do you dislike about the product?
Reporting is simple and based on saved filters but it lacks calculating sub-totals for custom fields or delivered fields.
It would be helpful to easily export to Excel based on filtered fields and support in-app sub-totals and totals

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Improving productivity and task planning are solved with Asana easily. By creating a list view and then organizing the list into Today, Upcoming and future really helps to setup the priority and tasks.
It also helps me better organize my email inbox as I can simply forward an email to my Asana account and plan accordingly.

Asana is my go-to PM tool!

Asana’s community is the best as you can interact with people who work at Asana as well as other like minded professionals from different parts of the world and different specializations.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the sub tasks could be better organized.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping track of all projects through portfolio views. Standardizing projects through templates. Integration with various other tools.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is by far the best PM platform available.
Excellent project management software for small to large teams.
What do you like best about the product?
Flexibility of the software, and ongoing improvements to address the needs of companies and teams managing diverse projects. The paid version for some teams at our company is wonderful for setting up 1-1 meetings, organizing projects by portfolios, creating custom fields, and also setting up automated workflows. Integrations with other software like HubSpot, Slack, and Gmail also make Asana a great tool for our company.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's a learning curve and adoption process to get team members to use; the flexibility is great when you know what you want to build, but it can also be helpful to provide more structure and direction up front for usage of the software. Since Asana has so many users with different needs and requests, it may take a little longer for customized requests to get addressed. If norms of usage aren't set up, then there's also a lack of consistency in how the platform is being used across the company that may cause some challenges as it relates to corporate-wide collaboration.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The software is excellent for promoting transparency of work across the company, as more collaboration is happening remotely and across geographies. Within the system, users are able to clearly assign tasks with responsibilities and deadlines, and keep track of comment threads and files as they relate to each project. Asana has also been useful to keep track of messages and organize corporate brand elements, as well as setting up a social media and content calendar for the Marketing team.

Asana - the most versatile Project Management Tool available!
What do you like best about the product?
- price / value for money comparing to other similar project management tools/software.
- intuitive interface / not a big learning curve. Even inexperienced team-members can start using Asana straight away and collaborate with no issues, thus minimizing communication friction among the team and increase productiveness.
- versatility. Asana does not constrict you in a certain way to use the tool. You have the ability to adopt any framework you want like Agile, Scrum, Kanban without restriction - while at the same time offering pre-set templates to kickstart your projects with ease without locking you in a rigid approach/way of project management.

What do you dislike about the product?
- Portfolio option available only to Business-tier members. In general the sell to the Business plan is quite hard as there are workarounds that can be implemented to achieve the same goals in the Premium tier.
- There is no ability to not include certain members to the Business-tier. This is a bit odd as only managers would need to have the features available in this tier and not the whole team. It would be great if there could be a distinction so when in Business plan only certain members could have access to the most advanced features. Having access to the Portfolio feature for example does not make sense for a team member that does not need this zoomed-out, birds eye view on their daily workflow.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Project Management for Digital Media Projects - from website creation boards / to-do lists to Bugs boards to Promo boards in order to manage internal workflows so that all team-members are aware what are their tasks, what everyone is doing and what is the status of each project - without bombarding each other via emails or IMs, everyone is on the same page about different projects in the easiest way possible, minimizing communication friction and saving time with a piece of mind.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
My advice to those evaluating Asana is that is the best tool if you want to manage an array of different Digital Media projects, as it is not rigid but quite flexible in letting you apply the PM framework you want or hybrid approaches where and when needed. You can manage Site creation workflows, Product creation workflows, Promo-Offer workflows while also have the dev-team following up with Bugs and Improvements in a more defined Agile / sprint based way.
The implementation with the team is quite easy as the intuitive interface permits for small learning curve even for team members that didn't have previous expose to the concept or project management or other project management tools and is a great introductory tool for them as also stands really good for professionals with more advanced granular needs for control with the ability to add custom fields and amazing Filtering/Reporting options.
With a great documentation, pre-selected templates for a variety of projects and also a very useful community forum, Asana is a tool that when implemented on the team's daily workflow will minimize workflow bottlenecks, increase productivity, save time and also help the team achieve the goals needed with a more focused communication that makes all the difference needed.
Highly recommended!
