Asana Review
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy the organized and easy to read dashboard feature.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have not yet found a specific feature I dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Streamlining and improving processes and procedures
A great team hub for most of my collaborative work activities
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to set up projects and tasks in Asana. The control panel has bright colors and is engaging to use overall. The various progress meters motivate me and the people I collaborate with to get things done and marked and completed. Getting started with Asana didn't take long at all. I was able to get my account set up and connected with my group within an hour. Using the buttons and cards to update projects is very smooth and not too technical for me. There are also loads of templates geared towards very common field-specific projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are certain projects that have taken us a long time to set up. For more advanced project specification and configurations, we have to dig around for further information and do some trial and error to make things fit the way we needed. So basically, I don't feel it will always work so well out of the box for absolutely every business or creative project.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana keeps everyone abreast of project activities and status updates. We can get a quick glance at everything that's going and what needs to be done. For me, it has greatly reduced lots of the stress that I once had when I would jot project notes down and email information around to different team members. The Asana system keeps everyone more on the same page and serves as a hub for documents and files related to our projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana works great on its own for many business and creative projects, but you should definitely explore the many extensions that are offered to further your use of the platform. You can also integrate it with popular cloud-based software like CRM and online storage accounts.
Manage your tasks and activities from the web.
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has very good characteristics for the development of projects and activities, I can keep my team working and what really matters, another of the advantages of asana is having a notification system that alerts when an activity is a point expire. This tool is ideal for tracking large projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
Its interface lacks a little more color, in my opinion, I think it should be customizable at sea, and something I can not find is an option to prioritize tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In my case, I am a web programmer, asana allows me to share with my colleagues all my changes and updates, I can upload files so my team can see them.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Before using this tool take into account that you will need a time to adapt to use it, once you achieve it you will be able to obtain incredible benefits in your work.
Great tool for managing multiple projects
What do you like best about the product?
I really liked the simple and intuitive user interface of Asana that allowed me to manage multiple projects at the same time with multiple teams. I was able to check progress, get comments and feedback in real time from my teammates. Also it was very easy to attach files for collaboration and joint working. Availability of apps on both android and iOS has been really helpful to be updated on your projects while on the go.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I disliked compared to other tools available is the price of the premium version. The price can be lowered slightly to be more competitive
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was working on multiple proposals with multiple teams, and with all proposals having different project plans, requirements and eligibility criteria. We were managing earlier through email, file explorer and whatsapp. We soon realized that it is not going to work, and then tried Asana to initiate projects, capture documents, work jointly and most importantly track progress of each project through dashboards
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Please give it a try using the trial version. If it is useful and worth taking the premium services for your specific requirements, then go for premium
excellent project/task management tool
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can add others and provide visibility to your team of the projects and task you are accountable for. Useful to build in collaboration between your teams.
Also helps tracking, assigning and setting deadlines.
Also helps tracking, assigning and setting deadlines.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is not as user friendly as it seems. You need someone to teach you all the perks of how to use the tool properly. Get the assistance in order to ensure efficient usage of the tool and all its capabilities.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project and task management.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure it is a tool that makes sense for all parties involved.
Control your activities and projects as a team
What do you like best about the product?
It is a very complete platform with which I can organize my projects and activities, it allows me to be able to sort and add activities to my calendar, I can upload all kinds of files and I can also keep track of the activities of my team.
What do you dislike about the product?
The search for the cards is not as good as I would like, in addition, in addition the application on Android and Iphone still needs many improvements.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Asana we avoid hiring project managers, since the administration of the activities is carried out in an easy and simple way, also with it we can keep the ideas of all the members in one place.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have time to train your team to be able to use this tool, it will be very helpful at work.
I LOVE ASANA
What do you like best about the product?
I love the way it looks, and it's very user-friendly. I want to be the kind of person that uses a paper planner, but I'm just not, so this gives me a place to write things down and track my progress! Plus, there are unicorns. That's always good.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that my whole team doesn't use it! We would be so much more efficient if we could communicate all workload through Asana.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps me to focus on what I am working on and remember what else needs to be done later on, so I don't have to jump between tasks when someone asks me to do something else.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is an incredible digital to-do list! I leave a tab for it open on my computer all day, and the mobile application is useful as well.
Clean and efficient way to manage projects
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is very collaborative and allows each user to see all statuses and details of every project in the company. Users can comment and tag other users to keep all parties updated. Project statuses and ownership help managers stay on top of multiple ongoing projects at once.
What do you dislike about the product?
The way tasks and subtasks are organized makes the platform confusing to use at times. Sometimes to many email notifications for task due dates are sent.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to efficiently manage projects with Asana. Instead of searching for email chains regarding the latest status of a project, we do a quick sweep in Asana for updates. Executive management is able to see everything that has been completed within a certain time frame by pulling a report of Asana tasks.
Great Tool but Expensive Pricing Plans
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a project management tool I use for assigning tasks to interns and employees, keeping projects on track across the organization, and managing tasks associated to projects within and outside of my department. It allows me to see projects at a 3000-foot view when I get too consumed with details.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is too expensive. Across my organization, several teams use Asana. An implementation of Asana is exorbitantly high. It would give us access to more project templates like gaant charts and custom tools. Asana should consider letting individual users upgrade themselves (and not their teams) or purchase templates separately.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Some use it to manage ad hoc teams while departments use it to communicate across projects. We also use it to create an automated workflow with the email-to-project system.
I Like the Software
What do you like best about the product?
I love that you can collaborate with a team in a more organized way. Scheduling future assignments per team member and what not.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes there's too many notifications. Like if a person on your team forgets to tag the specific person they're talking to, then everyone gets an update.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
File access and collaboration. Asana makes these things simple for everyone. Each person has access to the materials that they need to do their job. Team members can talk to other team members directly. So cool!
