Good idea, needs to be more user friendly

What do you like best about the product?
I like the idea of it and the versatility. Having everything organized in one spot and the ability to add team members to projects is great. I also like how you can assign people to tasks and decide what their role will be and how much they will be able to control in it. I always get email notifications when someone assigns something to me or comments. I like that cause that way I see the notifications but I dont have to be logged into it all of the time. I also love getting email notifications when something is getting close to a due date as well as each day that something is overdue
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be too much, and confusing. I think the platform needs to be more user friendly. The search bar doesnt pull up the results that im looking for, and i know that they are there! honestly, if it werent for the email notifications i dont know if i would ever be able to find my tasks
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It sends reminders for due dates, which has solved the problem of letting things slip through the cracks!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Maybe look up some tutorials or ask other people about how to use it

Asana is a really powerful tool that helps our team stay on track

  • October 09, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It;s super easy to set up, I got going in around 5 minutes and really like that they have a very generous free plan. Presumably most of their revenue is generated from enterprise accounts as the free plan has everything our small team needs.

The platform is quick, responsive and everything is tied into a decent email notification system which reminds us to check back and ensure people are doing what they are required to.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not much to really dislike about Asana. I think some design could be a little cleaner but overall its a solid platform and there isn't anything to complain about.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving our requirement for a strong project management tool that keeps our team at Treefort on track and executing upon our tasks for the day and week. The fact that it's free is a bonus.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are considering Asana versus Trello or others, Asana is the only real project management tool that helps us stay on track and is 100% clear. Others are usually really expensive or buggy, but Asana is a great tool and I thoroughly recommend using it!

What do you dislike about the product?

Staying more connected to my colleagues.

What do you like best about the product?
The whole idea about asana, One of the best project management platform in town
What do you dislike about the product?
I guess its really hard to find bad in a picture perfect product like asana.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working in a retail business is always a mess and with so many projects and teamwork. I had to deal with numerous tasks such as sales statistics and monthly performance evaluation of sales team and i was assigned to escalate the data and plans to improve the monthly sales targets and sale staff's performance. So i came up with this idea to use asana for my task and project management and rest is the history. asana has all the ingredients to make my project recipe perfect, it was so easy for me to keepon check and balance to all the task that i have assigned to my sales team with easen, it has all the tools to make my work more easier and swift, performance graph of my sales team touching the sky high since then and asana played its part.
A highly recommended platform. Now i have switched to IT industry where my job is more technical as compare to retail but i would really like to use asana in future.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would highly recommend asana to others, Easy to manage and sate of the art tools to clear the messes around, it will reduce the escalation time and help you out a lot to increase the productivity

Complete project management tool

  • October 09, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Asana is very easy to manage and allowed us to better manage our projects and mainly the tasks of each collaborator. Project templates are very useful to start a project quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
being able to group projects by client would be more useful in our case than we use it in a marketing agency. This way we would have divisions between clients. that functionality we would like it to be added
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
the impact of asana on our agency has been in time and in task management. Now we know what tasks they have coming soon, and what tasks each collaborator is doing. Previously we had to do together to know each one of the tasks that each one has
