used to keep track of tasks for remote work
What do you like best about the product?
i liked that you could see what other ppl were working on. also good transparency for my manager to see what tasks i was working on and to assign me new ones as all work was remote.
What do you dislike about the product?
that there could not be a daily/weekly task list. that same list had to be copied over, but if it had been marked completed, it was archived and could not be used again.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
helpful to have a running track of what tasks needed to be done, and what was done before for certain tasks. very helpful for a team that all worked remotely
Best Task Management Offering I've Tried - Could Benefit from Improvements
What do you like best about the product?
Very high level of customization possible and fairly intuitive navigation.
What do you dislike about the product?
With high level of customization comes the issue of being too nimble and changeable (not static enough where it counts). Some functionality should be defaulted to static with ability to change settings to adjust. Example: It's too easy to delete, re-assign, change due dates, and delete history logs: Even tasks, projects, etc. created by other users in the organization. This should be more difficult by default: It shouldn't be easy to accidentally delete tasks in bulk.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracking tasks for projects - Salesforce/FinancialForce implementations, customization, and support. It's the one app I can track my projects and tasks in a manageable way. Would be more helpful if it could somehow keep me more on top of tasks and due dates. Email notifications aren't helpful for anyone. Even browser notifications don't quite cut it. I find myself going days at a time without realizing that I haven't opened up my Asana. For a task and project management app to be really beneficial, it needs to be in your face all the time. Available in GSuite and everywhere to kind of stay top of mind.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Check the paid options, portfolios and such are great for teams.
Good project management but limited functionality
What do you like best about the product?
Asana was the first project management tool we tried. It is good and would be great for an individual or small business. It is very simple to learn and use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Time tracking integrations are limited, the general functionalities are limited. There isn't a built-in chat function which competitors have.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Saving time and improving the efficiency of work which it was great at until we needed to scale more.
Excellent application for my entrepreneurial needs
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is indeed a solid, user-friendly project management tool for my work, task management, notifications, a customer portal, collaboration tools, task assigning and basic reporting, all at one go. What makes Asana the best productivity tool is the ease of including/removing tasks in your work schedule. More than that, tasks can be prioritized and adjusted accordingly. Asana also has a mobile app that syncs all my tasks from my Mac to my iPhone. It is also available in German, French, Spanish and Portuguese, and being quadrilingual myself, I really like this feature.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing tiers of Asana make it unaffordable for me to purchase premium. This is the most user unfriendly part of Asana. The ‘Business’ plan is $23.99 (£18.78) monthly, which is more than GBP200 and unfit for my yearly budget.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using Asana, I design my week schedule and coordinate tasks according to my schedule to build a successful business for myself. I have been funded by my University and the free version of this tool makes my job easier.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is the best project management tool out there that can make not only your life easier but also the lives of the people who work with you, of the people who work for you and of the people who you work for.
Asana helps our team come together to accomplish our goals
What do you like best about the product?
Asana keeps all of my tasks, files, and content all in one place so I that I can work with other team members by assigning tasks. I've used other task managers before, but Asana is the best for how it lays out your tasks and the options it allows you in order to cater your setup to your operation.
What do you dislike about the product?
While it is incredibly intuitive, some options could use a drag and drop feature or automation features such as duplicating tasks to each project or auto assigning to team members.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is helping me to clearly delegate tasks to members of my team, set goals, and actually achieve them. The benefits of clearly listing out each step to achieve your business goal, and utilizing a framework to clearly communicate how you are going to go about achieving them is crucially important for our business.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be sure to learn the app inside and out. There are a ton of features, and you might be missing out on things that could help improve the quality of your work!
Great organization product
What do you like best about the product?
It’s a great tool for shared task lists for projects and for supervisors to monitor progress.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes adding people to tasks one by one can be frustrating. I’d like to create a group and add them in all at once
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is best for accountability and sticking to deadlines. You can clearly see where you’re at in a project
A great tool for working together
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has been great to manage tasks across our company. It's very easy to use and helps us to work together remotely. It helps us stay organized and makes sure that things get done. I love being able to assign tasks to my upper management and them accepting it without me seeming too pushy.
What do you dislike about the product?
I honestly think that there's a lot more to Asana that we don't really use. I wish it was more straightforward with the other uses for it so that we can best utilize the software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have used to track leads. It's easier to track leads in Asana and get quick names and contact info dropped into tasks. It's much quicker than using CRM's which require a contact to be made. Asana is quick and easy and it's a great tool to assign projects to my coworkers without having to constantly remind them.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think that it's the perfect software for companies to use to communicate the projects that are going on within the workplace. There are so many uses for Asana but I don't think you need to necessarily use every single feature to utilize it in a way that fits your company. It's very tailormade and easy to use. I would recommend doing some training within the company to learn more about the other features to make sure that you are getting the best experience with it, but as I said, don't worry too much about using every single feature offered.
Asana makes your workflow easier and more efficient
What do you like best about the product?
It helps you track who is doing what, and mark something complete. You can even create assembly line-like tasks that are chronologically dependent. Once someone marks their part of a task complete, you know that you can do your part of the task.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be difficult to navigate at times and I wish the page where you can see everything at once was organized more like a flow chart.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It makes it easier to communicate, track, and assign tasks that need to be done. It also keeps record of daily productivity.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it out! Go to a workshop! It really makes things easier and more organized.
Saves Time & Increases Efficiency
What do you like best about the product?
The project management tool and built-in templates have saved my company time and money by allowing us to collaborate and communicate in one central space.
What do you dislike about the product?
It took a few weeks of work to get everything set up in the way we currently use it. Even though the default/built-in templates are great, a lot of time went into making them custom for our organization and digestible for my employees.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We now save a lot of time with project collaboration. It's now easier to manage my remote team because I can quickly see exactly what's being worked on and completed. I also love that it connects to the Harvest Time App, so the employees can track tasks & hours from one place, reducing rework.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Spend time learning all of the tools within the software before you start setting it up for your organization.
Great team organization software with some weird navigation issues
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is updates instantly if someone comments you will see it as soon as it's posted without a reload! It's pretty neat 😁
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface itself gets confusing or you question why something doesn't do what you expect to happen when clicked. (Perfect example is a sub task click edits the title instead of opening the issue...)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Marketing agency projects, Asana helps keep the whole team together and on task. It's a central source for information!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great software and besides some funky navigation the software is great and does exactly what is needed without any fuss.
