I introduce this tool to every workplace I join

What do you like best about the product?
The detail and accountability! Clean UI but the granular tracking is amazing, assign subtasks and due dates while maintaining a easy to follow to-do list. Not you average checklist.
What do you dislike about the product?
Could use more templates, creating custom templates can become daunting. Can be confusing tagging tasks to other projects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being in marketing and juggling so many projects, it really helps me keep a clear view of all of my projects, tasks, and sub tasks. Being able to apply due dates to subtasks is amazing. Also cuts back on email use with tagging other members in projects, tasks, and comments. Keeps everyone accountable and updated on project progress. I was introduced to Asana during a college internship and I’ve carried it with me to every workplace I’ve been, they’ve all thanked me for introducing them to it.

Unfortunately, my current workplace uses Microsoft Planner but I miss Asana so much!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Create a protocol when using with others, make sure they’re all on board. You won’t regret it!

What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Asana is the ability to add hidden comments within a subtask. It helps keep tasks from getting cluttered and lost. I love being able to create a task using voice text - which is convenient for a job that involves client interaction.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike about Asana is how subtasks are displayed. It does make tasks cluttered and overwhelming.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problems my team is solving with Asana is the ability to manage projects with multiple team members under one task.

Great for internal communication

What do you like best about the product?
My favorite thing about this software is the ability to easily set up channels, chats, and toggle between different slacks for different companies. Awesome product. It integrates well with other apps like Google Drive. It helps with organizing information. It can have multiple conversations going on. Mobile app. Notifications.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really don't like that Slack allows businesses to see their employees' messaging. I don't think this is clearly communicated when you sign up as an employee and feels like a breach of privacy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use slack daily and have just implemented a number of API's in my chats based on a recommendation from the "slack-bot." I am on slack constantly and have never had a complaint. The integrated functions, message broadcasting, online meeting, news update, interacting with students, etc, really diverse and almost meets every aspect of our department's requirement.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's been mostly good. The sign-in process can be complicated on multiple devices with multiple servers but that doesn't need to be done often.

Wasn't for me- too complicated

  • October 03, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can share work tasks within a team, and have different teams for different projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really could not get the hang of this, even after watching the training video and getting a lesson from a coworker. This isn't for me. I much prefer my own internal lists to get things done.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I know others on my team like it because it keeps them organized, shows what is outstanding and who's in charge of what. You can see the big picture of the entire project and its to-do's.

The Most Valuable Tool To Get Things Done

What do you like best about the product?
I am a huge fan of Asana. There is so much functionality that you can use it no matter what type of project management approach you like. I love being able to put tasks into a timeline and linking them with dependencies. It keeps my marketing program build-out humming along. I also use the task list and send all emails that need attention to my Asana task list. Keeps me totally organized.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a lot coming out and to learn. Sometimes hard to keep on top of it all.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Personal organization with My Tasks.
Able to keep on top of marketing projects. When people are stuck, we come up with the big rocks and fill those with small rocks (tasks). We are then able to put them into an estimated timeline.
