The cross-platform ability and fast pace workflow. It's incredibly easy to share tasks with others or work on projects.

    Telecommunications

Overall a really good tool

  • July 09, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ability to collaborate with team members across department. I really like being able to tie contingency tasks to each other. That way, if a task gets delayed, when you change the due date, it will shift the contingent tasks
What do you dislike about the product?
At times, it was too granular and just needed a simple overview. For the power users, they put EVERYTHING in this tools which is great for them but at times, I just needed an overview.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana allows us to manage multiple projects at the same time while adjusting accordingly with setbacks
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Review them, Monday.com, and Trello. We preferred Asana

Annoying

  • July 09, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to access. It seems like they went out of their way to make it easy to get in.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's confusing once you get in to it. I have the hardest time figuring out where I need to go.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Time management, mainly by using it to plan events.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Learn it before using it. Watch the tutorial videos!

Great task management software

  • July 09, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the user friendly interface. It is intuitive and easy to understand for first time users. Being able to repeat tasks (periodically, weekly, etc) is very helpful and helps me to complete tasks on time regularly. Also, have you tried hitting tab+B?? A bunch of cats pop up, how fun!
What do you dislike about the product?
Some advance features are not as intuitive should have better guides and learning tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am able to assign tasks to my subordinates and see when they complete items and what's on their schedules daily. Assigning one-off tasks is a cinch and keeps communication efficient.


    Education Management

We used Asana to coordinate projects.

  • July 08, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I liked Asana because it seemed like a singular and powerful project management tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
I did not like how bulky and confusing it was to navigate.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problem was that it did not really solve any of the pain points we had experienced. It created more.

Successful Usage interface, calculator and productivity

  • July 08, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
In our organization, we use the basic option for project management software that provides what the mid-sized teams need. None of the premium features seemed more appropriate for larger organizations. It can successfully perform many functions, such as status updates, deadlines and calendar views.
What do you dislike about the product?
The lack of any desktop applications for Asana has prevented the expansion efforts in our institution. After a year, for example, if you are accustomed to use over time, you are still trying to find all the features and best uses and therefore get good case studies to get best practice examples.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Due to the successful design of the application, the site loads quickly and this is always a plus. Project management solutions may become difficult in the future, but Asana's approach is the most flexible solution I have ever seen. The ability to add media and document files to each task item is useful for our employees who can split each task into sub tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You can consider integrating with HipChat to extend your communication access without having to upgrade to the paid version of Asana. Of course, after using it, you can at least consider getting a basic package. Asana has always been happy to try to improve the design and functionality of the site.

Super simple planning tool- useful for multiple roles

  • July 07, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The fact we can create cascading tasks AND attach documents to each task

This helps us to not only assign and work in order of importance- but we can also attach additional training documents for staff to follow just in case...
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly?

It might be a laptop issue but sometimes it can lag when trying to load

Like I say though, I think this may be our own tech issues- the software is solid :D
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We work in content marketing and promotion, so as you can guess- we have a lot of moving parts in our business

Asana allows us to create not only specific tasks, but SOP's for our team to follow

Lets say that we have an article to write

We can add all the new information, dates, tasks in order of completion etc, dates for tasks and more

(We can also view the progress as a chart which is a great visual aid)

Not only that?

We can duplicate previous tasks

This means we might have an SOP just for the content writing and editing tasks

We simply duplicate it, rename it- and then add in key goals and deadlines for that particular article

Suuuuper handy and keeps us on track!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Super easy to use
2 types of interface (Cascading and scrum?)

A great project management solution

  • July 07, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
With Asana, it's easy to see what your coworkers are working, the due dates, any comments between coworkers and what you need to get done.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the calendar feature was a little more intuitive and easier to manipulate to make it suit individual needs on our team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana boosts our team's productivity because it's easy to keep track of your tasks, deadlines, and help your coworks stay on top of their tasks too.
