Asana vs Jira
What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact that everybody on the team has access to real-time information and can follow the projects, but I think the user interface and the platform speed could be better. Especially coming from Jira, where I believe these two topics were better.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't think they have the best interface and their speed is not the best.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management between our product and creative teams. We have been able to reduce process completion time by 10% by using a platform instead of old methodds.
A great tool for teamwork
What do you like best about the product?
I'm a lead on a team project and Asana is a great tool to write group to do lists and divide up work.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the calendar tool was more interactive and that you could create gant charts on it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows our team to keep track of company goals that we're expected to deliver on and allows us to check them off once complete.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It takes tight curation for a team lead to keep on top of the to do lists and the goals. Its helpful to use Asana to think through goals and the pieces needed to achieve the goal.
Great product, needs aesthetic update
What do you like best about the product?
This product is your basic real-time, collaborative to-do list. It was one of the progenitors of such agile software systems and it's a solid product. I've been using Jira for four years now.
What do you dislike about the product?
It needs a facelift. I like Monday.com, much more fun to use, more colorful and also more intuitive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's just a to-do list. It helps keep project pipelines flowing smoothly and gives you a detailed as well as 10,000 foot view of what needs to be done and how far along you are in any given project or task.
Pretty good product, but honestly I find myself reverting to pen and paper for tasks
What do you like best about the product?
I think being able to assign people tasks is helpful. We also get very detailed with the tags we put on for different projects. For example we use it to categorize by which action items get brought up at which meetings. We also use it to be able to communicate about check up calls so everyone is on the same page. I also like the feature of being able to comment on other people's projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you don't have your whole team on the software it doesn't really work since you have to follow up on different channels. We use it mostly for customer support, but I also have marketing responsibilities, so it doesn't work as well for those. Again if you have your entire team on it you're better off.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to plan out long term projects and tasks within our smaller group.We have about 12 people in our team and it definitely makes our processes easier, but we just have to stay on top of keeping it updated.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely make sure your whole team is using it and not just part of your team. It makes a lot of a difference, because if someone is out of the loop it sort of throws the whole thing off. When you get set up make sure every team has their own project and that there isn't too much of an overlap, where things could get confusing.
Intuitive and easy as long as on desktop
What do you like best about the product?
Asana offers you an easy to use project management tool that nearly everybody can get behind and grasp after a couple of minutes use. Other than most "free" tools it does not only offer a very broad managing of tasks but also allows you to go into details with subtasks, links and attachments. As well as deadlines and assignements are possible.
What do you dislike about the product?
It works great as long as you are on a desktop. If you are in sales and have to use it on your phone, while being out with clients - it's horrific. It's just too detailed and you cannot find most things over your phone. You have to use the search function basically ALL.THE.TIME. Thankfully that works quite well for me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're connecting two of our locations together with Asana. People can work together closely without being in the same office.
good for project management
What do you like best about the product?
assign task and project manager good for project management
What do you dislike about the product?
not customizable good for project management but can be better
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
project management assign and track task
Easy way to stay organized and keep everyone in the loop
What do you like best about the product?
sharing status of project progression with team members.
What do you dislike about the product?
sub-tasks are a bit cumbersome to use.
the kendo style boards are an issue as completed items really should be not visible once moved out.

Ability to collaborate and plan projects
Seamless, intuitive project management software
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is an incredibly intuitive and really easy to use project management platform/software that integrates easily into things like Gmail and even Slack. You can easily sort/organize tasks, and you get your weekly to-do list. It's not cluttered, and it has a lot of features that are helping in managing projects, such as marking some tasks as dependent on others, setting up recurring deadlines, and getting a high-level overview of projects that your team is working on.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some improvements that could be made in terms of organization and better sorting your own tasks. In addition, sometimes it can be overwhelming (and counterproductive) to see ALL your tasks laid out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helpful to track progress on team-oriented projects and being able to make comments directly on tasks/projects so that all discussion is accounted for. It also helps in thinking out all the steps/necessary components of planning a larger campaign, and planning backwards as well for timing to make sure that everything is completed on time. There is a lot less back and forth between team members because everything is laid out in Asana.
Its ok. I wish the input could be simplified
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to transfer tasks to others and I appreciate the email reminders
What do you dislike about the product?
the left sidebar navigation is a bit wonky and hard to navigate.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
What I had hope to use it for was for replicating tasks in future years and I never really got to use that feature.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is an easy to use and cheap/free project planning tool. It would be great if it supported GAANT charts
Great platform planning and staying organized
What do you like best about the product?
I really enjoy working with this product because the platform is easy to work with and easy to teach your team how to use. Most platforms similar to Asana get unorganized quickly when multiple team members start uploading tasks and projects, but Asana gives you multiple options to keep things organized and keep your team working in sync.
What do you dislike about the product?
The emailing of each individual task can be overwhelming, especially when starting a new project. I really wish there was a way to put multiple tasks into the system and have the option to email them to the responsible person with one or multiple tasks listed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're using the platform to put together and organize advertising campaigns and strategies for clients. It's been great to work with in this way because it allows team members to see what others are doing or planning to do and have them plug in their thoughts on the fly. Without this option, we'd be wasting time on multiple conference calls per day.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely would recommend this product to anyone working in a team environment. If you're considering Asana, you should take advantage of the free trial to really see how this platform works.
