Extremely useful and flexible

What do you like best about the product?
Overall, it integrates well with Slack, and the app is easy to use. The ability to sync my tasks to my google calendar is a major plus as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pay model. I'm not fond of how much to pay to enable simple features other tools offer for free.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The primary benefit is being able to document the process for events and keep abreast of updates real-time. It's a solid project management tool.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's becoming a solid staple for both task management and project management. Navigating through it used to be awkward, but they very recently released an update that made switching between projects and organizations much better and it is now a much more solid solution.

A solid way to organize projects, and allow transparency from group to group.

What do you like best about the product?
Reporting across organizations and customization features let you build the process you really want to implement.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes there are too many features and ways to edit things. I'm sure this helps expand the client base but for my org, less it more.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana allows all teams to understand the workload and bandwidth for more projects to enable efficiency.

Fantastic product, great price, limited integrations

What do you like best about the product?
The program is great to use. Its design is very intuitive to use, the set-up time was limited, and the learning curve was not steep. The boards are much closer to vanilla Kanban boards than other products we've tried in the past (looking at you Teams.)
What do you dislike about the product?
It already has a fairly similar function to a program that we already use but has fewer integrations. If this was able to integrate into our ticketing system, it would be a dream come true app. But it's good at what it does and is unique enough in its function to justify it's continued use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana's helped us visualize and simplify our workflow in a simple, intuitive method. Plus, it actually helped us get more work done, and that's all that really matters with this kind of thing.

One clear pull factor for Asana is the fact that they offer a free plan.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana only allows you to assign project tasks to one person.

Project Management. The free option is great and there are tons of integrations

Best productivity app in my experience!

  • October 24, 2019

What do you like best about the product?
The most helpful thing about Asana is its wonderful and seamless task creation tools. Create an organization, create a myriad of workspaces, and then create projects from templates or to suit your needs. The additional excitement when you complete a task is also kind of wonderful and fantastic. My favorite part of Asana is you can drill down as far as you need to go creating subtasks.

Despite some constructive criticisms I may have, I would highly recommend this product to anyone utilizing project management, Agile, Scrum, or Kanban. Harvest is also integrated seamlessly for time tracking and repporting.
What do you dislike about the product?
The biggest problem is their pricing. It is a very expensive application to utilize but includes all the features I've been looking for - which is apparently very difficult to find.

I wish it was easier to export projects to another workspace. This is definitely one of the downsides I've experienced. Also, being able to create a project from a section would be a nice addition. Otherwise, you can manually do some workarounds which are time-consuming, but keeping everything cleanly organized is my goal. I also wish you were able to create outlines with completing tasks and reminders, Kind of how it's set up now, but the completed tasks aren't removed or crossed out would be a nice addition.

Night mode would be excellent as well. I used Chrome 78 Beta to force night mode, and a native night mode would be amazing and would let it keep it's beautiful brand colors (which I think look better with black than white personally!).

There's also a weird issue in Chrome when you get to the bottom of the task creation list, it's right up against the horizontal scroll bar and the edge of the screen, so it makes it difficult to read what you're writing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One of the problems I'm solving is organizing not only my professional life but also keeping track of my graduate coursework. I've also taken to outlining my books and other reading material in order to kind of have a record of when everything was due or completed. I haven't been able to experiment with additional fields or reports, but I'm sure those are amazing as well.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think it is definitely a worthwhile cause to try for test drive. It is wonderfully made and a fantastic app, with Chrome extension and Gmail integrations, and highly supported in integration marketplaces. I also use it with Hubspot.

What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can make clear where you are in any process.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can get confusing between the different project pages.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's an easy guide to answer where anyone is on anything! I love it, really.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try if you have a large enough team with many processes

Great product for organizing and tracking projects

  • October 24, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
What's most beneficial to our team is that we are able to plan an entire conference for over 1,200 people without meeting in person. We use a video call to talk about our various projects, but all of the work is done individually. The organization of Asana and it's ability to help us stay on time and accountable is so valuable to us.
What do you dislike about the product?
A downside is seeming like you must check off the same work in multiple places. (This could also be a weakness of our team's communication or ability to use Asana correctly). We try to only communicate using Asana for the conference related projects, bu there are multiple tasks made by multiple people because they don't follow the same projects.
Another thing that I don't like is that when you complete a task, it disappears from view automatically. I would prefer to have a section at the bottom of the project with "Completed Tasks" rather than a whole new screen.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
How to plan a massive event without having face to face meetings. We would not be able to keep everything clear and organized without Asana. It is a tremendous benefit to have the ability to create a task, assign someone, and outline exactly what is required.

What do you like best about the product?
Asana was introduced to me at my current job, It keeps me organized with last minute projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
That it sends me a bunch of emails. I log in almost everyday, I dont need that many emails.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The client can see when a project is completed, it stamps the date of completion
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It lets your a person know when you have completed an assignment.
