The lowest-drag project management software I've ever used

  • May 05, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Asana simplifies tracking and task assigning for all the teams I use it with. It's how I make sure my projects get done on time and its effective mobile app lets me do this even when I'm not at my laptop.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI can be a bit slow compared to organizing on paper, but the cloud storage and ease of assigning tasks to other people more than makes up for it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The most important thing I've done is organize my work teams by inputting our tasks determined in our scrum meetings into the system. That let us simulate the benefits of a daily scrum meeting even though we weren't in the same physical space.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go through the tutorials. They're well designed and will help you get through the learning curve fast.

Easy to use team project software

  • May 05, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
There are several things I like about this software. It is free and easy to use, which are the most important things. Adding tasks and assigning tasks to users is very intuitive. You are able to set due dates, assign task priorities, comment on tasks, attach files to tasks, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
My main dislike is the mobile interface. It's not particularly difficult to use, but it's not as seamless and user friendly as the desktop version. This is only a minor complaint and certainly not enough to turn me away. I still suggest this software for anyone looking for free and easy project management.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use this on a daily/weekly basis to establish progress on many different projects and tasks that need to be done. This is only used to track the 1-off tasks, and not daily tasks that are expected to be completed and repeated on a regular basis. This app has become increasingly useful as we have added members to our team, as tracking projects grows quickly as members are added and more work avenues can be explored.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have a small team this is a perfect software to use. It is free and includes any features that I could possibly imagine anyone looking for a project management software might want. For reference, our team is currently at 5 total people who use the software. We would comfortably continue to use this software for up to 20+ people before considering any software re-evaluations.

Asana...if you're into that sorta thing.

  • May 05, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Asana is great for a particular type of organizational mind. If you're that type, enjoy it to its fullest.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana looks and feels like an emotionless pit of soul crushing tasks that will haunt you until completed. The design team could have truly used more tactical empathy training.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Partners have used Asana to deliver film production notes. This could be very efficient, and at its core, it is. However, the delivery method and experience of Asana is not built for creatives, and therefore, it is polarizing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use it to deliver tasks for your team if the tool fits your leadership style.

Simplifies Team-Based Work Management

  • May 04, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
All basic features from the Free Plan is already enough for my work and business needs. I've used so many project management softwares already and I can say that Asana has everything I need. You can either make a list type project or a board type project. Most of the time our company uses list type projects. You can divide each project by sections and you can also add milestones for each section. You can assign tasks, set due dates and set recurring tasks.

In the Free Plan, you can create as many teams as you want. In each team, you can create several projects. So you can have an Accounting Team, Purchasing Team, Customer Service Team, and so on.

Their mobile app also works great for me. It is easy to use and navigate. Nothing special, it works the same like the web app.

It's worth noting that their Premium Plan has many great features too. Like having a timeline, use custom fields, use forms, and many more. If budget is not a problem, I high suggest to upgrade to Premium Plan.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing to dislike from this web app. Maybe just need to improve their mobile app a little and make it look like the web app. I think some functions are not available in the mobile app but it is very minimal. Otherwise, it will still be my daily driver for work and business.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing tasks is really difficult sometimes but Asana simplifies everything. After using Asana for several years, there's no way we are going to switch to any similar tools in the market.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The Free Plan is more than enough but if budget permits, the Premium Plan is all worth it.

Task Management app features are hit and miss. This one checks a lot of boxes

  • May 03, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Asana flows and allows subtask creation in a way that my brain works well with. Many task management apps do not.
What do you dislike about the product?
Having to assign a person to a task makes the quick task creation take a moment longer than I like.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping track of all the things that are a priority, but unable to be dealt with at this moment.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's almost a blend of OmniFocus and Wunderlist

Asana is an essential tool for our task management

  • May 03, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
As an account manager who works frequently with our product team, Asana has become an essential task management tool. It's an intuitive and effective way to communicate our product needs, assign tasks, and track what's being completed. Our whole team now relies on it! My favorite part is the ease of the layout - you can navigate easily and communicate within tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish we had started using this sooner! Other than having to adjust my notifications, everything with Asana has been smooth sailing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's really a communication and task management tool for our team between product and sales / account management. As our product evolves, Asana is necessary for us to integrate and act on client feedback in an organized and goal-oriented way.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are a number of ways to use Asana, so I would spend some time playing around to really see all the functionality. One unique way we use is to manage our company blog. We assign dates for each post to be completed and can easily track who has done what. It's made it easy for us to begin our blog and stay on top of it!

Very nice, simple project management

  • May 03, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the calming layout of Asana. And the overall function of the program helps to cut down on wasted time. It just gets straight to the point and helps you keep larger goals in mind. It's easy to use and there is no way to mess up or lose your place.
My favorite part was probably the color coding. I am very big on this feature in any program.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not that I "dislike" anything, but the issue is that Asana was not right for me. I found that Asana does not have the robust document upload capabilities and other bells and whistles that I prefer. And actually, it generally did not have the features that I enjoyed in some other programs I have used. I know that simplicity is the name of the game for Asana, but I feel there are ways to add features without making it busy and cluttered.
That being said, those few and bare features may work for some users, especially solopreneurs and small teams. I think Asana is what it needs to be, I just don't fall into the category of person who needs it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For a short period of time, we were using Asana to manage our individual tasks. We found that we outgrew the system pretty quickly though.
