Asana is one of the best team management applications I have ever used.

  • September 10, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about Asana is the fact that I can seamlessly add and remove team members whenever I need them to focus on a single task, and when that task no longer needs their services and they can get back to another task.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is not so straight forward, it is a bit hard to maneuver at times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Asana to strategize certain tasks and get all hands on deck whenever it is needed. The biggest benefit of having Asana is having a program that is a one stop shop. We can have everything we need in one place and don't need to utilize other programs to plan out tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is amazing because it has all of the tools you need in one place. You can add and remove team members from certain projects and maintain them seamlessly. I would definitely recommend using Asana if you are a mid size organization looking to maximize your time on certain tasks.

Geat tool!

What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a user friendly project management tool. This tool is made to assist you in efficient working and completion of your tasks. The visual plans are also available for the completion of tasks. You can easily meet your deadlines regarding work. It is very fast and based on latest techniques and designing is also very much advanced.
What do you dislike about the product?
Graphically the software is not as much efficient as it should be. You cannot comebe to your tasks after having a search for Kanban projects preview. This is a single flaw in the tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
If you are working in an organization where you have to handle complex tasks and multiple files than there is a solution to handle these tasks in the form of Asana. It helps in breaking the long and hectic tasks into small parts and divisions and assists you to perform complicated tasks in better way.

Great platform

  • September 09, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a great project management tool no matter the size of your team or business. We use this on multiple projects to help keep our projects on time and on budget. It's a great way of keeping clients in the loop as to where your projects are running whilst keeping your team all tuned into the goals, targets and progress of your campaigns.

I especially like the communication on projects this gives us. We can chat within each project to hash out the finer details of each task and have this saved to the project for reference. It's a great update from sending emails back and forth and CCing everybody in.

The paid version of Asana allows you to set factors which must be met in order to reach the next target. This has been a really great feature for us as most of our digital marketing project are staggered, with many stages not being able to start until the previous stage is completed or additional tasks are met.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are still some paid features which we have not upgraded to yet. The price is slightly higher than I would have expected for the additional services provided. We have been so happy with Asana and the way it helps our day to day business that I am finding it hard to think of any negatives. We tried so any of this style of platform and Asana has been the one we have taken in to our business and use every day.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have used a few different project management tools to help manage our digitial marketing projects. We run a lot of campaigns that involve our inhouse team as well as external contractors, offsite workers and clients on marketing teams. This platform is brilliant for allowing us all to communicate, set short and long term targets and keep our projects on target.

The variety this platform gives as far as the options of a list of tasks vs task cards fits our business perfectly. This really does allow us to both brain storm and organise all in one place. Tagged team members and assigning tasks within the platform are perfect for us.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take time to learn all of the different features that Asana has. It will suprise you how much it does.

Work/time/project management tool that doesn't surprise

  • September 09, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It helps prioritize and assign tasks and keep teams tightly organized.
What do you dislike about the product?
It provides all the right tools but it still doesn't somehow convince me. It's quite generic, lacking that special feature or unique touch that would make me become a loyal user.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The management of quite complex projects in a team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I see no reason why one would not give it a try.

Project Management to Keep Us All Aligned

  • September 09, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Asana provides a very easy to use web interface with mobile application support as well. It is an intuitive drag and drop interface that allows for a lot of room to get things done once you explore how it links into other applications. The gantt chart visualizations really help to understand how we are doing on tasks in relations to timelines as well as overall project progress. Asana helps foster better resource allocation as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve can be a bit steep for those who are not technologically savvy (or patient). In addition to individual learning curves, it can be confusing to some to bounce around between different workspaces (I have four myself). It would be wonderful to be able to have a macro look at all projects you are on regardless of workspace location in order to get a more precise and quicker overview of what is happening.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Asana to manage tasks across a large team for complex research and evaluations. We are able to easily coordinate tasks across units and time constraints allowing the entire team to stay on the same page. Additionally, by assigning tasks which in turn show up on the assignee's calendar, we ensure that we hit our deadlines and produce high caliber products.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's critical to understand your organization's needs before selecting project management software. What problem(s) are you trying to solve, what information do you need tracked, and what reporting do you need are great places to start. When it comes to Asana, I highly recommend starting with a free account and really working through it (don't forget to check out the help features) to see if it is the solution you truly need.

A good product for supervisors to send tasks or just general to do list functions

  • September 09, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
That supervisors can assign tasks to their direct reports. The due date functions help with prioritization of tasks
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be a bit hard to feel like you are using all of the features to the fullest when you start using it. It would be helpful if the interface is a bit more intuitive
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To do list prioritization, task assignment
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get everyone on board with one app. having multiple that don't talk to each other will be problematic. Implementation is quick and easy
