Asana sends too many emails. I don’t suffer from email overload or they simply get so many emails that a few tens of emails more won’t make a difference.
it’s very difficult to set up a repeatable project on Asana.

What do you like best about the product?
Ability to assign tasks to specific team members, track progress, and add comments
What do you dislike about the product?
There should be more features for the Premium version, such as proofing. The amount of email they send you is also overbearing. Make sure you customize your email preferences otherwise you get bombarded!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to create and track progress on different projects. The best part is that we can communicate via the portal to update each other and shift timelines if needed.

What do you like best about the product?
Great project management tool for large teams. Drag and drop features make this super easy. It's easy to assign tasks and reassign as needed.
What do you dislike about the product?
Very little I dislike about this tool. The Gantt chart feature could be improved for agency/client presentations, for example by white labeling it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeps projects on track and under control, offers great visibility across multiple workstreams. It's easy to assign tasks and reassign as needed. Great for managing multiple projects or clients in one place.

Fan of Asana

  • October 10, 2019

What do you like best about the product?
I find Asana to be the best tool for project management, as it encourages attaching a date to every task & assigning clear responsibility. :). I like that you can use the Kanban board but there is a strong primary view , that’s list oriented. I like the free layer for personal/small team use. I like the options for sub tasks/tasks/sections/projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the groups vs projects inviting is confusing. The way sub tasks behave differently from tasks (including in reminders, daily schedule, when you @ someone - as I recall) can be confusing. I wish you could drag/drop the order of tasks within a section , & I wish you could drag/drop the order of tasks due the same day within the view by date. I wish you could schedule not just a start/end tune, but as a different way of organizing, an “estimated time” to complete (and have it sum for the day), so that if for o e day, I have 2 projects estimated 4 hours each and 12 at 30 minutes each, I see what that would add up to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping remote teams in synch. Providing a system for team members to take responsibility for planning their own schedule based on their goals, with managers able to check. Preventing things from falling between the cracks. Allowing colleagues to check on progress in an asynchronous way, without disturbing the others.

Great Project Management Tool

  • October 10, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love being able to create Projects and then tasks within the projects. It's also helpful when I'm creating "to-do" lists for myself. I'm able to visually see all the deadlines I have and plan my schedule accordingly. The system is super intuitive and easy to use with drag and drop tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the notifications can be a little overwhelming as you might get multiple emails about comments/tasks/projects. However, it's easy to change those settings and you're able to take people off the "watch-list" when needed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps me keep all the tasks I need to do organized. I'm able to set deadlines for things and assign tasks to other team members. I'm able to layout tasks within projects and create timelines. That way I know whether I'm on track to finish a project on time.

An excellent tool for project management!

What do you like best about the product?
Asana makes it a delightful experience to work with. It's easy to create new projects and tasks. It also supports a very flexible and robust mobile app which has full features of the app. It unifies all my ideas, project deadlines, thoughts, notes and etc. I love the advanced search feature the most. Considering the fact that it tracks absolutely everything, it's hard to get overwhelmed with too much information, so a search which has all the necessary filters comes in very handy.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd like to have an option to switch on/off Kanban board. You can only choose it during the creation of the project. Repeating tasks is also a hassle to set up and I've had problem with it. Also completed tasks don't disappear from inbox automatically.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is helping everyone in my company to stay organized. It's easy to set up and start working with it and once you do, you can't go back. It has an awesome interface and when you finish a day and all the daily tasks - it's a very satisfying feeling. The workflow is super intuitive. The flow matches that of my thought process and it works really fast. I've even started using it with two seperate accounts to help with my personal life as well.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I know this sounds cliche but Asana definitely changed my life. It has made it enjoyable to manage projects and has greatly enhanced my workflow. Try it out and see it for yourself!
