Leading a team with all the necessary tools has been the best with Asana

  • November 13, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?

Concluding, checking and finishing a task with Asana is one of my favorite activities, it's the best feeling. It's great to be able to add slopes and activities as well as share my content without the need to use other software or things like that, it's also great to see how they added the list of recent employees, it's very helpful not to look one by one and move on to find out their information. Asana is reliable and secure.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think that the software needs improvements in the calendar, in addition to deadlines could do something more complete to interact and look more at the process of tasks in time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Leading a team with all the necessary tools has been the best with Asana, I can animate the process and be aware of things without seeming congested.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This software is ideal for you to manage your projects and harmoniously coordinate a teamwork, I recommend to configure your calendar properly.

Can't go a day without it

  • November 13, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Asana makes keeping track of tasks and dues dates so easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would love to be able to assign a task to two or more people, but the subtasks option solves most of that issue
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're solving the problem of tasks not being finished on time and not knowing the status of projects. It's so easy to look at what everyone's work load is.

Asana keeps my tasks and projects organized

  • November 13, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Asana is easy to navigate and has an intuitive interface. The search feature functions well so its hard to lose anything. Forms have helped to standardize incoming requests. The ability to switch between list and board views within projects helps speed up some bulk actions.
What do you dislike about the product?
Bulk uploads can be a bit tricky. When setting task dependencies, it only allows you to select from the last ~10 tasks that were created/edited. For a while, Asana allowed the use of Portfolios, which increased how organized our team's space was, but then they revoked that feature so we lost any progress made there.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My team uses Asana to track projects, plan and assign sprint tasks, and organize incoming team requests.

Helps with Project Management

  • November 13, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Asana allows for very organized project management and collaboration amongst the team. We can indicate which tasks we have completed, as well as, seeing which tasks are yet to be completed amongst the team. I also really like how you can move tasks through different steps as they are finished.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like how cluttered the tasks are. It makes it look unorganized and difficult to navigate.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has held each member of the team responsible for their tasks.

Way for me to be organized

I like that I am able to be more organized at work. I can save my files or document to do lists for the day and it is easily accessible.
What do you dislike about the product?
I didn't like that I cant share my documents as easily as I can with google suite.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Every day of work I had to come up with a daily schedule for my interns to complete. I also had to utilize asana for my weekly to do list. It was definitely beneficial.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use Asana for any weekly projects or to do lists to get done. It is easily accessible.

Lots of information to sort through...

  • November 13, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The idea behind Asana is great. It's a good way to organize information that is being shared between different organizations.
What do you dislike about the product?
Maybe I didn't have enough experience, but the view I had in Asana seemed jumbled and full of information. The design just seemed a little dated and hard to understand.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is great for big projects that are being worked on by lots of different people and multiple organizations. It's nice to be able to communicate on specific topics at a time with a team, and I like that all correspondence is saved in one central place.


    Information Technology and Services

Easy Collaboration Difficult Integration

  • November 13, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is very easy to collaborate cross departments. Has a lot of flexibility when it comes to different views to track project progress.
What do you dislike about the product?
Does not track productivity
Needs a better dashboard to monitor all project at the organization level as well as team level
Does not integrates natively with SF. You are able to push tasks back to Asana from SF. But the user needs to toggle to and fro SF and a automation and process workflow are not leverage 100%
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can easily create tasks, assign them to an indIvidual and have followers. It also created email alerts of due tasks. We can create templates of recurrent projects that can be reutilized without having to build from scratch.
Easy provisioning and de-provisioning, specially because it allows SSO.
You can conduct searches on several filters and run reports on how many task a use have.

We are able to hold people accountable since it also created visibility for followers to see the status of the tasks. We also can quickly mark as complete without having to enter the tasks. It it very easy to use.

Templates / customization and collaboration are three strong points
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Driving adoption is key to do this is important to ensure no one is adding tasks on paper and use it a center item on any meetings. At the same time, use the comment section of the task to provide updates or even ask clarification. All conversations can happened in the comment section.


    Computer Software

Easy to use project management software that caters to multiple learning/organization styles

  • November 13, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love how customizable Asana is. You can organize your projects based on many different organization/learning styles. This becomes very useful when you are transferred a project from someone who has a different style of organizing than you, so you can edit the style to suit your needs. It helps me keep track of the 15 client accounts that I'm running and can help me have a big picture view of my tasks in multiple views (calendar, project, combined views, etc.).
What do you dislike about the product?
I honestly love this app. I think the only dislike is that sometimes I can have too many little details in each project and lose track of some of these things. But that can be fixed by using a different view for how my tasks are displayed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping track of all of my client accounts using Asana allows me to stay very organized and have everything online so that I can share my progress with my colleagues and management.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I find it helpful to categorize my tasks within each project using sections and the tagging feature. This adds some colorful visual cues for easy identification for the types of tasks I have to do.

What do you like best about the product?
Tagging is the best in this part in this application
What do you dislike about the product?
The views are not configurable easily. We've to manually change them
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracking projects in my current job. Asana is helping me track everything end to end with respect to my tasks. I'm able to manage multiple environment tracking with the app and share tracking information with my colleagues easily
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It just works!

Perfect for Large Teams with Multiple Projects

  • November 13, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a fantastic task tracking service and should be used by any company looking to organize their workloads. My team, in particular, uses it for a multitude of different projects and company departments. We are able to keep everything very neatly organized despite having lots of moving parts within our company. The system has lots of options that allow any team to suit it to their workload, and maintain transparency across departments.
What do you dislike about the product?
For whatever reason, you cannot assign tasks to multiple people like you can in other services like Trello. This is particularly frustrating when working on a collaborative team. It is possible to create subtasks that can then be assigned to users, but this seems like an overly complex solution to a simple problem. So the biggest dislike I have with Asana is that some options are more complex than they need to be.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My team is using Asana to track tasks across a number of different projects and company departments. We use Asana to keep track of all milestones in our project, upcoming, current, and some past. We also use it as a way to keep everyone on the same page regarding workloads and what needs to be done company-wide. The greatest benefit to Asana is keeping transparency across a company. Everyone can see what is being worked on, by who, and how long it may take. This makes meetings much simpler and easier.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is a very streamlined service for task tracking. There are a great number of options to take advantage of in doing so, and is thus comparable to other platforms like Trello. There are some downsides to consider, but everything is a balance of positive and negative in this life.
