Asana is great software for organizing & managing your work flow

  • April 02, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Asana has multiple features that I really like, including the projects tab, due dates, and conversations. This task manager makes identifying goals simple and keeping a team on track even easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't a whole lot that I don't like about Asana but I have noticed when nesting a task within another task, Asana might start lagging to create that subtask. This happens more frequently when the original task is more than 2 years old
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has helped me keep my work flow clean while also holding myself accountable with clear deadlines. The communication between my manager and the others on my team is crucial for us being successful.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use it.


    Education Management

Easy to Use

  • April 02, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like that the interface is easy to use and pretty simple
Its also a really nice looking interface, its not an eye sore, there are no pop ups. etc. I usually use it on a desktop but im sure the app is good too... i should get it!
What do you dislike about the product?
Well i wish i could connect my Gcal to it, i just feel like the calendar aspect is lacking for someone who is constantly trying to manage programs. I use Google apps and Asana, and it would be great if the two would work together better. Like, if the asana and google calendar could syn and if i deleted something on one, it would delete on the other. And the same for adding. Sometimes busy bees like me like multiple apps to help their brains keep things organized, and it just sucks that its not easier to use in that regard. But, i still think Asana is the best of the to-do list apps out there.'

It would alos be great to be able to literally download the tasks ive already finished. Sometimes when u work forin a contracted position, they want to know what you completed. this way i could literally show them everything + my thought process and level of organization.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I manage a medical program for uc berkeley and i run a business, so i use them for both. I think its beneficial especially for those weeks where i have so much going on that I feel like i cant event comprehend the amount of work. Asana helps my brain relax becausei just work on each task one by one, and boom, it disappeares!

Recommend Asana as team management tool

  • April 02, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is easy and intuitive to use, with color coding and individual assignments easily created. The design is simple and not confusing. It facilitates group work and makes monitoring of tasks easy. We also integrated Asana into our email calendars, which provided an additional tool for better management. The notifications in particular proved very useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
I was only using the basic version. It took my team a while to adapt to it, which was unfortunate. When the projects got more complex, I had sometimes trouble finding the info I needed using the search function.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mainly team organisation and task management. This was particularly useful when working towards a deadline and when broader things to do are broken down into little tasks with tight deadlines. I could assign my team broader and smaller tasks, and they could see who to coordinate with.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A great tool, definitely consider using it!


    Design

Organized, convenient, built for feedback

  • April 02, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Love the comment on project feature. Allows for easy collaboration and discussion on projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
Left side of the program could be more organized, color coding is a little harsh on the eyes/not accessible for the visually impaired
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communicating with peers on projects is a lot easier with Asana. Communication, collaboration and feedback are convenient to access. The comment and follow feature allows for a lot of customization and overlap in responsibilities.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Not accessible to those visually impaired (color coding)

Fairly easy to understand and use, but can become overwhelming with all the options available.

  • April 02, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like that there is a significant amount of control over what is included in the description and the breakdown of tasks. The visualization is also extremely easy on the eyes, and it is enjoyable to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike how complicated recording a task can become. With the vast number of options, it becomes overwhelming for the average user. Even in simply avoiding the options altogether, it does not make the task easier to create. Perhaps different methods of approaching tasks, and different methods of thinking are all that is required to enjoy Asana. But for me, it was not enjoyable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
None. We decided against using it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't be afraid to give it a try! The program is terribly easy to use, and looks beautiful. Just be aware that different people may not be able to approach task completion in the same way.

What do you like best about the product?
I like that its very user friendly and easy to navigate. It's very simple to create and assign tasks and its easy to create different projects, which helps me stay organized.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are so many things that Asana can do, but a lot of our staff don;t understand it yet. There is a bit of a learning curve and it takes time to be able to understand all that asana is capable off. Very time sensitive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
this helps our business have clarity of who is responsible for what and by assigning deadlines & having emails connected, it helps our staff stay on time with their assignments.
