Great Way to Keep Track of Tasks
What do you like best about the product?
I love being able to see my tasks laid out for the week in calendar view.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the app had task reminders that pop up the way that google calendar does. There are ways to get around it using other apps but it would be nice if I didn't have to open another account with a different program.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main business problem that I am solving with Asana is staying on task. I have realized that it is a great way for me to stay on task with the many projects that I have throughout the year. It is also a great tool for your team (co-workers) to see what you have on your plate as well so they know when they can make requests of you and when to expect solutions.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want it to connect to your calendar or send notifications, be prepared to start an account with another software company.
Efficient way to manage tasks
What do you like best about the product?
It has a clean, aesthetically pleasing interface. Overall, it was straight-forward and easy to learn how to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's nothing I dislike about it. Asana exceeds expectations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Task management solutions and project coordination
Easy to use task management for teams
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is very easy to use despite packing many great features. The app makes it easy to collaborate with your colleagues on tasks and projects. The boards feature is very useful for us as we use it to assign different columns to different stages of our project. This allows us to quickly know the status of the project. Asana's mobile apps also allow us to manage our projects quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana does not support switching between list and board layouts. While this is a minor inconvenience it would be great if different users could switch between layouts. This would allow our developers to use the board layout to match the Kanban style, while the managers could use the more traditional lists that they are more familiar with.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has helped us manage our projects better by allowing us to know what each team member is working on. This has resulted in better communication within the team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Spend some time reading about the features of the product. Asana is very simple and easy to use and a lot of neat features are hidden away. Read their documentation, take time to set up your project, categories/tags and your board.
Great task management!
What do you like best about the product?
I really enjoy using Asana for sharing tasks back and forth with other employees. It is easy to create, edit, and share a task. I also like that you can add comments and notes to the task for others to see.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like that you are unable to assign a task to more than one person. You can share with multiple people, but collaborating on a task is a little inconvenient since only one of you can have it on your task list.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating, editing, and sharing tasks with coworkers.
Asana is good for project management
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has really solved the problem of project management in an easy to use way.
What do you dislike about the product?
Once you learn the platform it's easy to use but getting to that point is not initiative.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping track of work tickets has become a lot easier. Also Asana has more customization than a lot of project management options.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you have time to learn the product before you decide to switch. If you do I think you will like it.
Easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
Many project management systems make it really hard to get started - Asana does not. Asana is very easy to get started with and use. It's very intuitive and user friendly.
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't found anything about Asana that doesn't suit my needs at the moment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Asana to work with a distributed team. Asana makes it easy for all of us to stay on top of the projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I have tried many different project management systems, and I have found Asana to be among the easiest to use.
Good for Task Management not Project Management
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to get started but the tool can also be scattered and hard to find relevant information
What do you dislike about the product?
The reporting in the tool is week to track number of issues open/closed, etc... The kanban view is helpful but we had to manually count to track items.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project Management
Task-Oriented Project Management Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is great for working with multiple teams on different projects. You can add as many users as you need and sort out tasks by team. You can also generate tasks with deadlines.
What do you dislike about the product?
The email frequency is a bit high but you can use user preferences to manage them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working with a team that is decentralized and in different time zones, Asana has been useful for creating a place for convergence, idea sharing, and task management.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do not try to make use of all of the features, only use what you need to keep things simple.
Asana is reliable and user friendly
What do you like best about the product?
User friendly interface, nice aesthetics, can handle hundreds of projects
What do you dislike about the product?
I have not had any problems using asana
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management became so much easier and more organized
Simple, yet effective
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is perfect for my organization since it incredibly intuitive to use and makes keeping track of deadlines easy. It's easy to attach files and keep things moving.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are times when email notifications are a bit wonky and don't come through. We've fixed that by just tagging each other in comments.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Previously, it was pretty difficult for us to keep track of deadlines and the progress of different projects. This way, we can assign each other tasks as we know of them and can keep things moving. It helps us all stay accountable and productive.
