Productive if you have a smaller team

  • October 08, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can have different boards, either for projects or individuals, to keep track of project stages. It makes it really easy to see where individuals are at any given stage of a project, which makes it easier to locate where problems are within a project.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's REALLY hard to keep track of things if you have a lot of projects or if you have a larger team to keep track of. Things can get confusing pretty quickly if you're not actively managing projects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's easy to set dates and deadlines in Asana, which makes it easier to stick to a timeline. It also makes it easier to identify who might need help, or what parts of projects are really starting to fall behind.

Strong PM for Self-Employed

What do you like best about the product?
I enjoyed when Asana introduced the Kanban feature. It’ the best of Trello and Asana but just needing one tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
You can’t switch from Kanban to list format and vice versa. This makes it extremely cumbersome when you’re knee deep in your board and realize the other format would serve you better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I initially began using Asana for help with personal and family tasks but moved on to using it for business and consultant tasks as a project manager and workflow assistant.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use Asana to its fullest before switching to another tool.

Project Management at average

What do you like best about the product?
I really love how colorful it is, it makes it easy to categorize things. I also really like the checklist and the ability to assign projects to people.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think it's pretty basic, you can really just create to-do lists. I wish you could upload files, and share more on it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We didn't have a project management tool to begin with so it at least provides us with some sort of project management tool

Asana almost has it but just misses the mark

  • October 08, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Asana has a pretty streamlined dashboard. It's not difficult to use because there are no hidden features that you have to follow breadcrumbs to get to. What you see is what you get. I also like the attachment feature. It's good for trafficking deliverables through the system.
What do you dislike about the product?
My least favorite thing about Asana is not being able to assign multiple people to one task. Duplicating the task for each person is time-consuming and clutters up your project. I also don't like the search function. I wish there were a way to search for old projects by, for example in my company, client name, so the first portion of the project title.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Problems that are solved with Asana are mainly communication-based. You are able to collaborate on projects without the need to be in the same room or even building. It has made the traffic process easier.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Good for project management, but it depends a lot on the way you use it if it will be effective.

What do you like best about the product?
Ease of integration with slack, ease of creating a task, the subtasks and subcategories - everything is super user friendly.
What do you dislike about the product?
No downsides that I can think of for individual tasks. Projects with multiple assignees can get a little cumbersome though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing daily tasks, recurring tasks, larger projects.

What do you like best about the product?
Asana is the easiest way for teams to track their work and achieve results. From tasks and projects to discussions and notifications, with Asana teams can advance their work from start to finish. It's easy to get started, but Asana is also powerful enough to manage your entire business. Asana can be used free of charge.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I didn't liked in Asana was it's Ads, there is too many ads that make tasks get more times, by the way it's sometimes impossible to open links from slack.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana offers a variety of team productivity, collaboration, and organizational tools available online, including via a mobile application (collectively, the “Service”), and websites and Asana is also powerful enough to manage your entire business. Asana can be used free of charge.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The users would always be happy with more new features and not too much ads.

We could not live without Asana

  • October 08, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a great tool for cross team communication and collaboration. It also allows teams and individual contributors to stay on top of their assignments and for our project manager to know what is on target, what is deferred, and what is behind.

Great tool overall, if you aren't using Asana, and have multiple projects across multiple teams, get it now!
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be nice if I could lock content within projects so others could not edit it nor make changes without my permission. (like a google doc, for example)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cross team communication and collaboration, project management, file sharing and communication, monitoring company goal progress and achievement.
