Organize your office fast and easy
What do you like best about the product?
Asana enables users of all tech levels to easily organize the office and office projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are two main downsides to Asana: (1) tasks can really only be assigned to one person; and (2) sub-tasks are hard to work with.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has been helpful to organize what we do in my office. While we can't capture every single thing we do, it is great for assessments and upper management stakeholders to see just how much we do and how the staff is contributing to the work.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is easy to implement in any office and they offer a free on-line version. I was able to organize my office immediately and all of the users felt comfortable using the product. Very few of my staff are tech savy, so this was a great option for us. It is especially helpful for when upper level managers want to know about our efficiency and quality of work. This was a nice supplement to offer outside evaluators when we wanted to know how well our office was doing and what we could do to improve.
Asana keeps me organized!
What do you like best about the product?
I love how well organized I am. And how organized all my projects are.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have not found any downsides yet. Nothing but helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am able to keep all my projects organized and schedule tasks for myself and my team.
Helpful for Organizing Tasks and Accountability but Too Much Crossover with Email/Outlook
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoyed Asana's interface, I found it easy to use and intuitive. My manager and I were able set tasks and maintain accountability by showing what has been completed and what is still in progress. If you are trying to avoid numerous emails back and forth regarding progress on a project, this tool is helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
I found that there was too much crossover with my Outlook/Email account. With my team's workflow, I found that it almost felt redundant to have tasks and meetings on my calendar and to be emailing back and forth on projects but also had to maintain the Asana account, it felt like extra work and didn't simplify or clarify my workflow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana clearly defines tasks and allows you to show progress or completion of those tasks. It creates a since of accountability within the team and allows team members to see what was been completed and what needs to be done. Asana allows you to eliminate the email back and forth that can often become confusing depending on how many are on your team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend Asana if you are finding that you need to clarify and define your workflow, maintain accountability within your team and want to eliminate the back and forth between team members that can often become stressful.
An easy to use lightweight project management platform
What do you like best about the product?
I love that I don't have to be the one who nags stakeholders. Asana emails task owners after the due date to make sure that tasks don't become late. You can sort by date and plan the rest of your day and see what tasks are outstanding.
What do you dislike about the product?
The default home page doesn't sort by date which seems like an oversight. That seems like the most useful view. It is only a couple extra clicks but it adds up!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing GTM plans and organizing large groups all pushing to related goals.
Great software. I use it for all my projects
What do you like best about the product?
Extremely easy for organization, best thing is automation.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wouldn’t say I dislike anything about Asana. It’s perfect for my use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Zapier automation features with asana. When a facebook lead comes in, it automatically registers under a project in asana and our staff contacts them then marks it
Asana makes project management super organized!
What do you like best about the product?
The most helpful thing about Asana is that everyone involved can work on a project in real time without being in the same room.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly I don’t dislike anything about Asana. I’m a pretty baseline user. I’m not a project manager, just a follower. It does everything I would need it to do.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest benefit of Asana is the fact that you can also use it in an app. I love getting notifications to my phone when I may not be working at my desk at the moment.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I'd definitely recommend people use Asana to help with company-wide project management. This helps our entire church keep up with projects, and gets them moving much quicker than we could have otherwise.
Asana is Great for Cross Country Management
What do you like best about the product?
We have marketing people in our East Coast and West Coast office. It is simple to use Asana to make sure everyone is on the same page with the status of projects. I like that you are able to break down things by category and then have different headings and sub headings within each project.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't love using the mobile app and usually, just use the web version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps connect our east coast and west coast teams - we have two marketing people and a lot of different priorities and projects going on all at once. This allows our marketing staff to log in to Asana and determine what we project we should be working on.
Accountability Booster
What do you like best about the product?
Using Asana to assign tasks and deadlines to fellow associates in a transparent manner that others can see allows for higher morale and greater accountability. No longer are the days of thinking others aren’t working or meeting deadlines, as you can see work get done before your very eyes, motivating you to do the same.
What do you dislike about the product?
The ease of use can be confusing at times, especially in keeping certain tasks confidential from others.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is allowing for greater teamwork within the organization by allowing multiple people to tackle certain tasks.
Great at tasks, for projects there is room for improvement
What do you like best about the product?
Constant updates and refreshes, inching it ever so much closer to a great task manager and an adequate project management tool
What do you dislike about the product?
Still nascent in the project management arena. Lots of missed potential and seems a bit cobbled together, some updates move it closer to a better platform, others just add confusion. Nowhere are all the features adequately documented. knowledgebase is not ready for prime time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asignation of tasks, small projects, checklists
Easy UI and amazing UX
What do you like best about the product?
The easy to use task management system is perfect not only for my work life but also my personal. You can easily put in sub-tasks and also attach files for easy project management and there is a unicorn that flies across your screen when you've marked a task done!
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was a better coloring system. I like to color code my projects so that I can keep track but all the colors seem to be very similar and hard to distinguish
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With all the different projects that are going on, it's hard to keep track of everything in emails. And also I use it for all my one on ones
