Good "to do" tool
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to track progress on a task and seeing a full list of the task I have to do each day
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to add more statuses to the individual tasks depending on the progress that I make
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Task management of my day-to-day activities or special projects
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a good tool for time and task management
Streamline Your Workflow, Integrate Teams
What do you like best about the product?
Multiple teams can easily coordinate around one task. Also, you can have a dancing unicorn fly across your screen when you complete a task. Who doesn't want a celebratory unicorn multiple times a day?
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing that they could better is roll out task-based templates. Right now, only projects can have templates, but we had tasks, like coordinating a mailing, where the mailing was the main task and there were various subtasks. It would have been nice to have a the task and its subtasks in a template. Asana worked really well for us. We had four teams at a non-profit coordinating projects with Asana. It was an amazing tool. We purchased the premium when we got too big for it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana allowed me to easily manage my workload and ensure nothing slipped through the cracks. It was easy to organize my day, and it really allowed me to tackle those to-dos that always seem to get put off for more enjoyable/easy items. It's easy to track projects where multiple parties are involved and know how they are tracking. It's easy to see history discussion around tasks and manage it right in Asana, no need to email.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Start small, with one or two teams and one or two projects, then add others as you get the hang of the product.
Asana is my task management bible!
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use as well as the customization that you can do for your own Asana within you companies shared projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to be able to lock areas of team projects that others can view but are unable to edit to make sure that the layout and order are not messed with.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Daily and project task management are the key uses of Asana for me and my business. We can collaborate on tasks but then have our own views and independent task lists. The benefit of assigning tasks to others, using the chat feature to stay out of emails and keep everything in one place is of great benefit.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is as good as the time you put into it. You have to be diligent in putting the work into tracking and managing your projects and tasks. If you don't consistently enter your details then it'll be an additional step of work that won't make you feel like it's working for you but just more work.
Efficient but UI is more complex than it needs to be
What do you like best about the product?
Efficient tool when dealing with multiple remote teammates but
What do you dislike about the product?
UI could be more simple but still, keep its efficiency.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easier to coordinate multiple teammate project progress.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great tool if you have multiple remote teammates.
Couldn't survive without it!
What do you like best about the product?
Eason of use, index card view, sharing files and notes - best software for projects period.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing! It is better than any of the others I have used before.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Projects with people in multiple locations, sharing files. Accountability for everyone knows where things are at all times. No more "I never got it."
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get it! It's free to start so you can get used to it.
Asana is a great tool for team collaboration.
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Asana is its collaboration abilities for teams. I used Asana in working as a contractor for another company and it made it super easy to communicate with their team remotely. It's pretty quick and easy to learn and the interface makes sense and is well designed.
What do you dislike about the product?
If I did not need to collaborate with others outside my own office, I don't think I would use Asana as there just aren't enough relevant features for me. I'm someone who is extremely organized on my own, and don't always enjoy having to learn new software programs unless it's very necessary.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has really helped me communicate with other teams in a collaborative, efficient, and useful way. I've realized that if I continue to grow my own team, implementing a software tool like Asana would be highly beneficial for growth and success.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend Asana for medium to large-sized teams, especially for those who work remotely. It's a great and efficient way to communicate.
Too much for what we needed. Some bloatware features
What do you like best about the product?
Feature rich platform that allows you to do very complex project management tasks
What do you dislike about the product?
Non-intuitive on-boarding and requirements that passive users do too much
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracking progress of our marketing team's design projects
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Buy the professional services contract. You will need it
Wooo-Asana
What do you like best about the product?
Ever wondered what it was like to see a unicorn shoot across your screen? You'll love the sight even more after you've finished a task within a project or completed a section of a project!
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd like for there to be the ability to edit the entire template, and delete multiple tasks at once. Especially since the templates have multiple tasks with details that aren't really needed...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communication throughout the team. Some seem to enjoy starting things, dreaming up processes, and not following through. No more! We've got templates, we've got processes and tasks flowing like gold!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Dive into getting to know the features and how to use the templates before diving in. Make sure the person recommending the software at least has a little bit of knowledge about implementing software and rolling out a new tool to a team-- that helps a lot. There is a feature that I noticed today, you can leverage the team at Asana to create workflows and such for you! I might consider that in the future, its worth exploring- especially with a budget strict project.
Easy-Peazy with Asana
What do you like best about the product?
Provides me with an easy to edit checklist, that can be broken into categories that helps keep things organized.
What do you dislike about the product?
Occasionally Asana logs out and I have to log back in. Not a huge deal, just a minor inconvenience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sometimes I will edit the wrong task. Is there an "undo" option? Could we get something that helps us undo mistakes?
Asana is very user friendly and great for organizing
What do you like best about the product?
it's shareable, the ease of use, the way it's laid out and organized on your screen. The simplicity of everything.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing that I've experienced so far with this tool
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The organizing of projects and to do list every day.
