Great Product
What do you like best about the product?
Great integration with Outlook. Very easy to use. Easy for user to understand and set the targets. We usually update our goals during weekly meetings and set due dates for the goals. Due dates determine issue priority.
What do you dislike about the product?
Would be nice if they made the integration with outlook even more intuitive. However, that would probably require assistance from the Outlook team instead of the Asana team. Also, did not see the GANT chart features in Asana. Would prefer if users have access to it down the road.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team project management. We set goals and complete the task in Asana when the issue is resolved.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want an easy team management tool, Asana is a solid solution.
Useful at keep tasks moving forward
What do you like best about the product?
Tagging other folks, uploading docs, keeping everything together in one place - Asana is pretty useful at keeping projects on track and cross collaborating across groups to accomplish them.
What do you dislike about the product?
there are not really any major failings to ID
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project managenentr
Great task management with room for improvement
What do you like best about the product?
Asana makes task creation and editing project timelines easy thanks to its very user friendly design. Very few steps are required to get a project set up and everything is very clearly laid out, so there's little excuse for an individual not to know what's happening with a project.
What do you dislike about the product?
Like many PM programs, Asana could use improved reporting and exporting. You can export project data into a google sheet, but it's very raw data that requires organizing in order for it to make sense for supervisors. You can also print the project timeline as a list of tasks and due dates, but it becomes a much different looking task list that is not very clearly organized and hard for others to know what they're looking at. For such a nicely designed site, that user friendliness doesn't translate once you take data out of the site.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving issues with accountability for tasks and outcomes. It takes project tracking out of email and puts it in clear terms, as long as you set up the project well.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be sure the paid version will satisfy your reporting needs before you move everything into this program. There are also a lot of integrations you can use with Asana which is helpful to fill in the gaps. We use the Instagantt integration and it's a nice compliment.
Breaking Self-Motivation Down Into Steps
What do you like best about the product?
I work solo a lot, so knowing how to move the needle on many projects at once is a challenge. The minutes it takes to break down projects, explain the step, and check the task off save me hours in lost productivity. Just the fact that I can see exactly how I spend my time each day is helpful in performance reviews, as well as allowing me to make sure I am just as efficient as I was in previous years, if not more efficient at each turn. The benefits will only increase if more people at my company decide to work on the same platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing; I simply don't know a lot about the collaborative feature since I don't work with others in a fully integrated way. Our company hasn't fully implemented every aspect of the software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lack of clarity on exactly what to do in what order. Sense of accomplishment is higher at work as well!
Great Project Management Software and Very Helpful Support
What do you like best about the product?
I have had a few user error issues while using Asana. The Asana staff has been extremely helpful while helping me work through some issues. The software itself is very easy to use and functional.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that it had better reporting capabilities.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Asana to manage integrations for our EDI team. They offer two views for projects, both the card style and the list style. Depending on the project either view is helpful.
Great Task Software
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can drag and drop in files. Makes it easy. You do not need to go researching opening, etc. You can simply drag and drop right into your task and makes it easy for everyone to find.
What do you dislike about the product?
I hate how you can't mark items urgent or low priority. This would make it easier as projects make come in and they sometimes need to be worked on asap.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
That is it centralized and can be utilized in many different aspects of the business.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it! It is a fun system.
Asana: Perfect for Digital Filing Needs
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is amazing because it can keep all of your digital paperwork in an organized manner per project.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana is a strong application that is organized but at times could do better in it's organization of it's calendars and sections within a project
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I know where all the paperwork for every project is and know I can rely on it if I ever need to go back and find anything
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's very good about keeping files organized and searchable. The amount of tabs can get overwhelming if not maintained well
Great For Organization
What do you like best about the product?
I like how clear the platform is. Very intuitive and easy to follow.
What do you dislike about the product?
Having it as a web browser is awesome because of the live updates and all but when my internet is down I am screwed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team communication
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its fantastic for communicating with your team on tasks.
Simple and Flexible
What do you like best about the product?
Asana's shining characteristic is its balance between ease of getting started and your ability to flexibly adopt features as and when you like.
What do you dislike about the product?
The distinction between list projects and board projects feels artificial and unnecessary. It seems like they should be different views of the same data. The distinction makes the workflow slightly janky if you want to move a task between different between projects of different kinds.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Task management, project management, team collaboration.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You can use Asana as a simple shopping list of tasks, or you can use it as an enterprise-level management tool. This flexibility creates a danger: it is easy for the list of tasks to become a forest of forgotten ideas and dead projects. Go in with a plan.
User Friendly
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to use. Easy to create tasks, and helpful when you have recurring tasks that your need to get done every week. A great way to keep things organized and helps you not forget anything.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not as helpful for tasks that only happen once. It's still ok, but more ideal for recurring tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps managers see what has been completed and helps me keep on tasks.
