Asana changed my workday!
What do you like best about the product?
I am a freelancer, so Asana's strong project management capabilities laid out in a simple, easy to use platform was a gamechanger for me. It has everything I need - different projects for different clients, tags, Harvest time tracking integration, due dates, attachment support - without being too much or overwhelming as some other platforms are.
What do you dislike about the product?
I sometimes feel like I'm always reordering tasks within a project list. There are features that allow you to automatically sort the list, but it only includes a couple of sort features (by due date, for example). But it always seems to be creating new tasks in the middle of the list, etc. Not a big deal and it's likely user error. It's just a bother. Secondly, I think the comments feature could be improved. I find it hard to view things as I scroll and when I copy and paste into the comments box, it always creates extra spacing, requiring me to 'clean it up.'
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm solving my day-to-day project management problem. I work with numerous clients and am sometimes working on multiple projects throughout the day. So, it's common that I lose track of things. Before, I was using a combination of a notebook and google calendar, but things were falling through the crack. Now, my Asana is always open and I'm constantly working in and out of it. Now, I feel like I don't lose track of anything and I work more efficiently.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Add emojis to your recurring task titles to make your to-do list more fun! In each of my projects (list view), I create a 'General Section' where I stick resources, etc. In the section text box, I'll include commonly used links and information so I can quickly consult it.
Fantastic Project Management Software
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is extremely simple to use. It's easy to move tasks around, create templates and even invite users to the platform. I've used many other project management tools in the past but Asana is by far my favorite.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I've been frustrated with was that our company was offered a beta/trial of a new feature. We invested time into getting it up and running and then we found out that it was going to be an add-on product. It is understandable but not communicated as well as it should have been.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have tried to get on the same page, streamline processes and get more done with limited resources. So far, we've been able to realize all of these goals and more.
More advanced
What do you like best about the product?
It is more advanced and that is good for me to work on my skills, more often these programs are too easy, so it’s helpful. It is easy to learn everything and follow the routine, it is really helping my skills.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can not see anything I dislike, so I do not know what I am supposed to write here and there is a minimum character count, so here we are.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It furthers my physical abilities, I feel better in general.
Review of Asana
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I can collaborate with others and know the status of their work.
What do you dislike about the product?
I had difficulty figuring out how to communicate with one another.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Each week I am responsible for putting together an Order of Service for Sunday Worship at the church I work at. Often, we have a "lay leader" who is in charge and Asana is a platform we can use for communication since they are not in the same office as I am.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is definitely worth a try. It is a time management tool that has helped to coordinate and share documentation very easily.
Helpful Organizational Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Asana makes coordinating with multiple coworkers very smooth. I work in special events and knowing the tasks of all team members is incredible helpful. Checking off tasks so that others can see is great in my line of work. We trust we can get things done!
What do you dislike about the product?
I do find I have to spend a lot of time documenting what I am working on in Asana, but that is not really the fault of the software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We work with a lot of logistics deadlines and Asana helps us keep everything on track. Rarely does a task fall through the cracks. It has helped us sty on top of upcoming deadlines despite a busy schedule.
Good for long-term projects, not so much for day to day tasks
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Asana allows you to collaborate across teams for interdepartmental collaboration.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that Asana doesn't accommodate smaller, shorter-term task management.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps me to track the progress of projects that are occurring over a long period of time and across units/teams.
Great tool for team project management
What do you like best about the product?
To be honest, I'd like to use Asana everywhere and all the time in my personal life. It's quick and has many functions that guarantee a smooth management of projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not 100% intuitive at first, you certainly need to get the hang of it in order to tap its full potential.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'd say that the main benefits can be seen when handling shared projects with specific deadlines.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you can, try and request a short period of time to focus on training, in order to understand and familiarize with the main functions of this software.
A Simple Solution for Organizing Tasks
What do you like best about the product?
This is so much better than just having to constantly ask everyone what they're working on. Plus, we get good use out of all of the different templates and features. We're using the editorial calendar to keep track of content and it's AMAZING.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a little messy and difficult to understand at times. Some of our team members had a hard time figuring out how to get started. It's also just tough to remember to log your tasks and mark them as complete or incomplete.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a way to track content and break projects down into smaller tasks and Asana lets us do that easily.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be patient with implementing it and be sure to remind your team often about using it.
