It's OK But There Is Better Out There
What do you like best about the product?
Simple to learn and get people involved in. Good for cross-team function and planning. Templates are pretty good for beginners to project management.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's cluttered and over complicated at times. I'm more of a visual person when it comes to seeing data and where people are in a project. When I was using Asana it seems very basic and not as visual as, say, a Monday.com.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It was great for trying to get people to participate in a cross-team project.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need a project management system in a pinch then Asana is for you. They do have a free option that has all the basics and their paid plans can get the job done. But do your research first as to what else is out there.
A simple and effective project management program.
What do you like best about the product?
The timeline feature is a GREAT way to keep track of everything that is going on within a project. It's a helpful visual of who has to do what, what tasks are linked to specific people and it's all flexible and customizable.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the one small thing I don't like is that the timeline feature isn't available for mobile view. I like the visual of it, and on my phone I'm only able to view calendar or lists.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps consolidate everyone's hectic task schedule into one efficient app. Before we were just emailing tasks between people which could lead to confusion on details; Asana is a straightforward schedule that's easy to use and keep track of.
Helpful but confusing at times
What do you like best about the product?
I like how you are able to create detailed tasks that can be completely separate, and assign them to different people
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it can get confusing and it’s difficult to remember where certain subtasks are
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solving problems of assigning tasks to other team members. Realizing that organization can help to get tasks done efficiently
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It would probably get quite confusing for a large group. Good for smaller businesses.
Basic Project Tracking
What do you like best about the product?
I use the free version, so I'm glad they have a free option. So many of the project tracking apps don't offer a working version for free. As a start-up, it's a very welcome addition to my software gallery.
What do you dislike about the product?
Wish it would integrate time-keeping and link to QuickBooks for creating invoices.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It gives me a list of tasks & projects that I have in-house.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great free product for tracking projects & due dates
Gets the job done
What do you like best about the product?
Asana gives my team a platform to organize complex projects. It serves as a centralized location to assign tasks, due dates, and compile documents. It can be used as my personal organization system to keep track of assignments, can also be scaled up to our 50+ person office, and everything in between. In my day to day I use asana to manage and prioritize tasks across multiple teams, collaborate with project members, and share important files such as ad images, contracts, workflows, etc. My team also uses the project view to keep tabs on team wide OKRs and to share larger goals with the company.
What do you dislike about the product?
The slack integration does not push notifications work if you are active within Asana. This is not something that's communicated clearly and my team has missed many messages as a result. Asana is also, like any other tool, subject to user error. If it's not set up correctly and not maintained it won't be effective. Team members who don't use Asana for their day to day find the tool intimidating and hard to pick up.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana solves the problem of work existing in multiple locations. Gone are the days where I would have to dig through emails to find the file that was sent last week. With asana I can simply search for it and it appears!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Keep in communication with your team about what's working. Asana is a malleable tool that can be used in a variety of ways. Make sure it's set up and maintained in a way that works for you.
Asana is a great project management tool.
What do you like best about the product?
Its simplicity is what I like best. Many of the tools out there are too complex for smaller companies. And I love the calendar view.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike very little. I'm sure there are some features, like it connecting easier to my email, will come to play in the future.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have used Asana for managing project tasks for 4 different clients. Which is a huge help. Bigger systems only allowed me two main projects and it was too bulky for my needs. Asana is great for now.
asana has its pitfalls
What do you like best about the product?
i like that i can invite team members outside my org and i like the logic/alerts you can setup for each task to notify the assigned resource
What do you dislike about the product?
i do not like the ux for formatting bullets/subtasks/numbered lists. additionally, templates are not very intuitive to apply
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
we use it for tracking website ux QA bug logging/troubleshooting/regression testing and status updates btwn dev/pm/creative/acct teams
Recommendations to others considering the product:
its functional and easy to use for those who are not particularly tech savvy.
Asana as PM tool. Great fit!
What do you like best about the product?
The way you can share projects with others provides excellent transparency which helps keep everybody on the same page.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana lacks the ability to personalize/customize the dashboard and your view. It would be nice if I could change things from what you would like to see.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We typically used Asana to track projects and identify who or what needed extra help during the course of the week.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think Asana is a great way to show team members what you are working on and what you may need help with. There are probably other software you can use but my only experience is with Asana.
Asana for a Marketplace Technology Company
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a great way to organize projects across departments and keep a daily to-do list at the ready. By using Asana, I'm able to see my priority tasks at a glance and share my progress on that work with other members of my team.
What do you dislike about the product?
Different department boards can get a bit disorganized, and with different views/displays on different boards, finding the information that I need isn't always simple.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps me to manage the work that I need to accomplish. Assigning work out to other users and communicating on Asana has been helpful. However, we've moved to JIRA for a simpler layout. JIRA is built for product teams, so it was more relevant for our technology-forward business.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is essentially a sandbox, and will be most beneficial when formed to match your needs. It's very easy for a team to learn how to use Asana, but it only works best if everyone is continuing to update their progress. It also can be difficult to get onto an already established Asana, because information can be scattered everywhere.
