Great for keeping track on a company wide scale
What do you like best about the product?
I like the addition of tasks and subtasks within Asana to help you keep track of all the moving tasks that need to happen to get a project done. The ability to just write out what you need someone to do, assign it to them and keep comments tied to a particular thread pertaining only to that issue is wonderful.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do dislike that unless you're reporting a bug you cannot add a priority system. I would like to sort my tasks based on priority in order to accomplish as much as possible and be efficient in my delivery.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We solve all sorts of problems with Asana. You can find bug reports for our website, IT set up and configuration, HR's new hires, etc. It is our one-stop, track all tasks program.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would start with a free trial when you can test the daylights out of the software. Then I would evaluate if you already have anything in place that it would replace or how big your scope for integrating Asana into your company. There are private tasks within Asana, but if you aren't careful they can be "public" to all of your internal members. So if Jim down the hall isn't supposed to see your tasks that contain backend routing and coding, you should definitely double-check with your team to see who needs Asana.
Asana for my management in daily routine task
What do you like best about the product?
Firstly the best feature in it is that I can see everything through it because of its dashboard facility that gives me a full overview of my on-going projects that moves me through multiple stages in a quite unique way. For me, it’s a blessing because before this software I was not able to meet deadlines as I can meet them readily even before the required time. It has been the effective product I have ever used.
What do you dislike about the product?
Managing projects on daily basis was impossible for me before the arrival of this application so, I can’t think of any major drawback in it. Although, there were certain issues at the first when I started using it but it was only due to my first experience so I had to learn some basic things but now everything is super smooth and easily manageable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is one of the best software for making my project work easier and also burden less due its amazing features. Also, meeting deadlines is quite easier by using this specific product and also it helps me in making certain plans according to my needs and demands. Moreover, this amazing software helps me to make my work more organized and also burden less. I have the ability to pinpoint certain risks and also to take certain decisions accordingly only by this product.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I really like the way in which it integrates with all other useful applications of my concern so that I can simultaneously work on all of them as well. Moreover, the price of the product is quite useful and as well affordable for everybody whether they have smaller or larger company. All the features are well suited to each one of them.
Difficult
What do you like best about the product?
Everyone in the organisation has visibility on each other’s projects which helps the work flow.
What do you dislike about the product?
It’s not straightforward at all. In my honest opinion there are other easier and cheaper solutions that improve the day to day work flow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Transparency is always an issue inside organisations and Asana helps with that as well as with project management.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Every new user should get a tutorial to understand how to implement it on their day to day.
A great tool for power users & teams
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Asana is undoubtedly the SPEED. Everything works real-time & always in sync between all teams and users. The actions and update get saved really quickly and its just a great experience overall.
What do you dislike about the product?
The tool itself is a bit complicated for someone starting out. The tutorial and step-by-step guides are also not very helpful as they talk about lots of stuff in one go. I would recommend a simpler approach towards getting users enrolled into how powerful Asana is and what it can do from a dashboard/home page.. and gradually user can enter into various parts of the tool and learn about it only then.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are primarily using Asana to track bugs & feature requests in form of various projects and lists. The sub-task option in the lists are quite helpful too. And the powerful search does not let anything get lost easily.
Asana is Life
What do you like best about the product?
Easy intuitive UI allows for making project management fun and easy for users. If you're moving from something less pretty like Workzone but are looking for the versatility for your company, Asana fills that role.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's not much to dislike -- maybe it's the fact that it's so open that if you don't know what you're doing, you may not be able to leverage the software as well as you'd like. Overall, it's solid and I don't have many cons about Asana.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In our company, we use this to manage our marketing efforts, sales support efforts, and deadlines. The GANTT charts are also very helpful in making sure we can visually see where dips in the pipeline may need to be addressed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana has a free trial that allows you to test out the platform prior to implementation into your teams. Because of the scalability of the software, our organization has been able to implement it in multiple areas of the company in order to have higher level execs see what is going on in multiple teams at a glance. This makes it easier for all of our teams to work together.
Great tool for project task tracking
What do you like best about the product?
Tasklist, Reporting feature, project collaboration and tracking of task easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
In Asana, there is no chat option to chat with the team member. As soon as a task is created we can chat the person to whom the task is assigned. A nice to have feature.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Task reporting, assignment of task, task tracking.
Asana is great for project management
What do you like best about the product?
The user interface is easy to use and functions are actually functional
What do you dislike about the product?
At times, since it is cloud based it does have a lag but that could be based on the connection as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
having all elements of the project accessible. I benefit from it as instead of sending emails, which can often confuse and clutter your inbox, each project is organized
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Keep up the good work!
Such an easy to use platform that makes work so much more efficient
What do you like best about the product?
The project boards and having everything in the one place
What do you dislike about the product?
Not being able to bulk download images/files , have to do everything separately unless they put in a zip file, other than that, asana does everything it really needs to - a great platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
cross-team work for big national campaign projects, we can also use campaign calendar so we can see all upcoming projects a well which is beneficial to all teams involved. Using the paid version has also meant a lot more feature use like start dates and times, milestones and portfolios.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have multiple teams definitely make the move to asana to keep track of tasks and projects , as well as your personal tasks.
Good but not great
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to learn and navigate; love the subtasks option and calendar view! Love the integrations with slack, Dropbox, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Disappointing that a project management tool doesn't come with task dependencies that actually flow together without requiring the purchase of third-party add ons (flosana)... Also disappointing that you can't set monthly recurring tasks to avoid weekends. Overall it has some great functionality but is lacking some pretty basic project management features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's enabled our team to collaborate much more effectively from our various physical locations and has reduced the energy we need to expend to prevent tasks from falling through the cracks.
Simple and straight to the point
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is very easy to use. No training needed for our users. We like the project template and use it a lot.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it had a desktop app or if it could integrate with Outlook.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it as a reminder but also a way to keep track of tasks and project.
