Great collaboration tool for Marketing teams

  • June 26, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Simple to use, yet packed full of powerful features, I've been an Asana user for years. I've tried a lot of tool for project and task management and it's the only one I've consistently come back to. The design and layout is carefully thought through and intuitive and most of all it's fast. While other tools promise endless features they end up getting in the way, with too many clicks required to do simple things like reorganise or complete tasks. Not Asana. It's perfect for team work and project management. I've used it heavily for planning and executing marketing campaigns with teams of creatives and marketing co-ordinators.
What do you dislike about the product?
About 2 years ago Asana went on a mission to roll out a LOT of new features. While overall I think they did this well, there's still the danger that as they add more "stuff" it will lose its focus as a project management tool and will become cumbersome to use. It still requires a bit of training for people not used to working with PM tools and you have to keep on top of how people use it, or they'll fill it with junk, but that's true of all PM tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing remote, distributed teams, with both internal and external stakeholders is a breeze in Asana. Standard processes like the steps needed to create and roll out a marketing campaign across 12 countries are simple with Templates. We even used it to track and approve invoices. It's super flexible.

Using Asana every day - Just love it

  • June 26, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
How easy it is to use and the mobile app is really convenient
More features being implemented regularly
What do you dislike about the product?
Exporting tasks into spreadsheet feature should be improved a bit further
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps a lot with project management or even all day to day tasks. Having them in Asana helps to ensure nothing is being missed. Communication with team members on a specific topic is organized in Asana under the relevant tasks, with project updates, etc
I also like the recent feature of marking notes with thumbs up this helps also when many comments are in a task and you are going through them to ensure nothing is being missed. For this the thumbs up feature helps a lot.
Benefits for the team: More organized way of working
Board feature is great as well and that finally can switch between list and board view
It also allows me to create new project templates that the whole team can use and update.
I love that tasks can be tagged under various projects as this helps especially when coordinating projects that you can tag the most important tasks to be monitored in a separate project that not everybody has access to.
Nice is also the comment only feature that can be set and the custom fields are really helpful too.

Asana constantly works on further improving their tool, they also listen to what features users would love to have. Literally every week there are news about new things being implemented :)

I can really recommend Asana for everybody, whether you are an individual that just needs to organize some things like shopping list or other kinds of to-do-lists or small and also big teams.
I am using Asana every day on my desktop and phone.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Start by going through the Asana guide as it has a lot of tips and tricks. And then get started directly by creating your first team, project and task. With time you will find out all the features that Asana has to offer and normally it is very fast to get used to everything :)

The Right Fit

  • June 25, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

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!

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.

Effective task scheduling, collaboration and tracking

  • June 25, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

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.
