Much better services out there

  • May 14, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use, ability to build projects, tasks, and subtasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
This is very nimble software and easy to use but there is no accountability for tasks. Anyone can change due dates, whom the task is assigned to, or delete the task all together.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management and planning.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look for software where not just any user can edit tasks.

Great for those who love checking off items on their list

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The ability to add subtasks and (for premium users) dependencies are some of my favorite features of Asana because as a visual person, I love being able to see all the tasks associated with a project. Being able to assign and essentially order the process is helpful for things like employee onboarding.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I think I might like more features, like different visuals of a project, but for a basic project management template, it has what you need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are currently implementing a new HRIS and some of the onboarding features don't allow for what we need so we have been using Asana to keep track of all our checklists for onboarding, offboarding, etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Spend the time setting it up how you want and try out the templates Asana has created. If you think about the process and what you need to accomplish and lay it out thoughtfully, Asana will definitely help you accomplish your projects and to-do lists.

my experience with Asana

  • May 13, 2019

What do you like best about the product?
it was one of the premier project management tools I was introduced to and I found to be extremely user-friendly with its interface and it served the purpose of a small team

there were only basic functions with adding in items and timeliness. The new software available offer an array of functions and services
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
tracking a project's timeline
Recommendations to others considering the product:
assess the size of the team and the functions you need out of a project management software before making a decision

Asana, a simple and practical application.

  • May 12, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Asana is very clean and designed exclusively to make the user experience pleasant and fast, the main panel is very clean and looks like a white leaf at first so as not to stress you with unnecessary instructions. To create tasks has greatly simplified the process as you just need to do a couple of clicks, this simplification is well focused as this tool is not to develop complex schemes but to organize projects. It is fabulous to be able to register the people you want and interact with them through the comments they make.

To add attachments you just have to drag and it is very good to immediately notify the project's security on the files that are uploaded, in addition to being able to assign tasks to multiple users. It is recommended to assign individual tasks because when you mark the check of completed task this disappears from the dashboard. To see this in the task view you can see all the activities and give it as unfinished and see everything that has been done.

Asana is a very interesting project center where you can track your tasks from any device with mobile applications where I only recommend to see the tasks because the desktop platform is the best. The addon version of google chrome is great to manage locally. The battery of notifications in Asana can sometimes be annoying but is understandable in a communication center and organization of teams but you can modify this to avoid the email reminder to avoid spam.

This manager is free or you can pay less than a dozen dollars a month but for large teams the price goes up, this can be saved due to the possibility of creating unlimited tasks and subtasks, Asana functions are very good for small projects or very fast tasks with few people because the platform has certain limitations as to the changes that can be made in a project.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana is easy to understand but in order to understand it you must review it carefully so that you don't get confused with so many options and can find the best workflow. I have a negative criticism regarding the keyboard shortcuts, some of them do not work or are very uncomfortable to apply, I suggest to leave this to the consideration of the user. Another important thing is the fact that you can't change the type of project once started, for example if you start a list project you can't convert it to a dashboard.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is a widely used and known task management tool, it is a suitable tool with certain advantages that require experience in order to exploit them. It differs from similar managers by having the ability to communicate any changes made in the project through an internal channel and via email. You have no limits regarding the tasks you can perform and the appearance and usability are very simple, you just needed time to understand the potential they can give to your team.

You can think that all this can be done with another tool but Asana is designed to provide interactivity in sending documents for a project, this way we avoid the use of email and have an effective communication in real time.

Asana should only be used for free and with few users, if you are going to buy it I recommend that there are only 5 users because you pay 5 by 5. It's a page to see the progress of certain projects and go marking them as completed, beyond that does not offer something more relevant but is very easy to use with a fast interface.

Would recommend Asana for team projects.

What do you like best about the product?
I like that the company managers can assign projects to anyone and we can all see who is working on what.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike how complex it is to navigate.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am solving delegation. It is easy to take on tasks alone, but having an organized system to delegate is helpful.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend Asana to organize tasks as a small business team.

Asana: Effective and constantly Improving

  • May 09, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love how Asana makes so easy to connect your entire team and all corresponding calendars in order to make sure everything is on track at any given point in time. They have also been adding features regularly that assist with workflow, status reports and other useful information about your team.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike how disorganized some of the layouts feel visually. I think that it was an attempt to provide alternative views (calendar view, task view, timeline view, etc) because everyone prefers something different, but because of this feature often times the platform feels clunky and disorganized.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have had a lot of trouble finding a calendar that really works for our entire team and out of the 5 or 6 different platforms we have tried, Asana is the only one that has really stuck. Everyone has a different preference for how they want to work with their calendar and Asana provides the opportunity to use it how you want to while also being able to see other team members' tasks and progress.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Everyone has different needs for this type of product, Asana is great but I would shop around for what works for your needs.
