Asana is really helpful for time management. It is very simple to use and it is nice that you can assign tasks to other people.

The only downside fo Asana is the way that you sometimes can't read the entire task that you write if it is longer than the space they give you.

I am solving time management issues. This helps me prioritize and remember certain tasks.

What do you like best about the product?
Minimalist approach to project and task management. If you're looking to keep track of what is due, who is responsible and to keep the message threads in order, look no further than Asana. The tool makes task and resource management a breeze and it is extremely user friendly.

Those who stay away from tools, use it and as a result the project productivity increases.
What do you dislike about the product?
Too many emails with no way to curtail them. At times, the emails sent via mobile phone bounce back which defeats the purpose.

It doesnt have core Project Management
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Task management and historical information/activity

The UI is slightly clutered and I lose track of projects that I have completed. There's also no easy UI for projects you follow.

Solving a lot of work problems.

Asana has superb interactive workflow charts and more

What do you like best about the product?
I was able to sign up and start using Asana with my department very quickly. I didn't have to read through many documents or watch tons of video in order to get to use it with full efficiency. The tools within Asana are mostly simple to use. Much of the project data we manage can be updated in real time for our entire team to see when they log in.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think that there could be more features to enhance collaborations on actual content. Asana can do many things with the right integrations, but the default features are more oriented towards scheduling and managing tasks. It could benefit from having more file collaboration features with advanced drawing and version capabilities.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana minimizes our need to constantly communicate with team members for project materials and status updates. I think that most team members are more likely to be motivated to finish tasks so that they can help to move projects forward and not be the one that is holding up anything in the workflow. It's good pressure that keeps people aware of all activities and more focused on meeting deadlines.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You should check out one of the many project templates that can give you a well-formed structure that could jump start projects and guide it in the right direction.


    Computer Software

A solid project management software

  • September 23, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I really like the way that you're able to manage your tasks with the view you prefer. The interface is user friendly and it's easy to be productive with this tool. Plus, the mobile app is a no brainer.
What do you dislike about the product?
The tasks menu doesn't automatically filter the tasks by due date. Everytime I'm checking my morning tasks, I have to filter them manually.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm a lot more productive with Asana than the others project management tools I used.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You should at least try the free version and than scale up your needs.

Has potential, but extremely annoying

  • September 23, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Asana is very user friendly and easy to understand your tasks and assign tasks to a team
What do you dislike about the product?
It sends a ridiculous amount of emails for tasks to the point that it overloads your inbox. It also doesn't feel like an all-in-one system built for teamwork, organization and cooperation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Somewhat annoying to use and non-collaborative. Gets the simple job of assigning tasks done.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Spend time configuring all the settings and learn how to get the most out of it.

Non-technical Project Management

  • September 23, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like to visual design/interface of Asana and the onboarding flow is really nice!
What do you dislike about the product?
There is no way for a manager to "watch" the status of the task to see status updates.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To-do list for no technical team members who do not want to use Jira.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Start with their project templates to get familiar
