New to Asana
What do you like best about the product?
We just started using Asana and I think it will be helpful because you can see all the dates and when things are due. It is really helpful to make sure everyone is on the same page and things don’t fall through the crack.
What do you dislike about the product?
I feel like it would take too long to put every task on the calendar that the helpfulness might not even pay off.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using it to get a more realistic picture of everyone’s work. It is also helpful for planning purposes and to see how long projects take. Also like a giant virtual check list.
Asana is user friendly and collaborative
What do you like best about the product?
I love the collaborative aspect of Asana as a task manager. My team and I can collaborate on projects and see each other's progress. The deadlines and ability to assign tasks to my teammates keeps our projects on schedule and has definitely made our office more productive.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I will loose track of tasks in Asana when I do not put a deadline on the task. This, could be avoided if I used the deadline function on all tasks but sometimes I do not need a deadline on a task.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Asana as a way to keep our projects on track and as a way to brainstorm new projects and keep track of ideas we come up with in our meetings. It gives us a collaborative space to brainstorm and optimize our tasks and projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would consider using Asana if you are interested in collaborating more effectively with your team and prioritizing tasks. The ease of use makes it a great option for all types of teams - and for personal use!
Easy, straightforward task management
What do you like best about the product?
Asana makes it very easy to set up tasks to share with a team, schedule on a calendar, and check off when complete. It's a simple tool with not a lot of bonus features, but it gets the job done for users who just need a nice overview of a list of tasks to be completed.
What do you dislike about the product?
The list view is not for everyone, and it lacks a lot of the more robust features of other project management tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One of my clients prefers this tool over others, so I use it with his team. It's allowed me to have a clear view of what everyone's part is within the organization, and when their tasks are due, so I can plan/schedule my own work around that.
Reliable with Expanding Functionality
What do you like best about the product?
Projects can be broken down and assigned to team members. Subtasks, notes and uploads can be saved right in the task. They even added dependencies last year so you can make tasks rely on others and have dates automatically shift if one task is late!
What do you dislike about the product?
Not a lot of deeper, more customizable abilities, but they did add dependencies and a few other cool features last year, so they appear to be listening to their clients and adding features over time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
project management, organization and task assignment.
Asana is my brain
What do you like best about the product?
The layout is so user friendly. I love being able to invite followers to marketing plans. Being able to Dr pi tires and images is a total plus for event planning. So excited when I get a character flying across my screen to announce a goal met! Makes work fun!
What do you dislike about the product?
There is one glich where and event or follow up will duplicate unnecessarily causing my tasks to look like I have more than I actually do.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Making sure we are all on the same page esp for events. Better collaboration.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Jump right in its easy!
Easy to use + Clean
What do you like best about the product?
I love how user-friendly the platform is and the features to have dependencies and templates are great.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, nothing really. In terms of what could be improved, would be the archiving of projects, those tasks still come up if they were left in the project before archived.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Asana to manage our client projects and timelines with all the tasks that go along and come up with accounts.
Asana is great for organizing projects
What do you like best about the product?
I love that it updates in real time. Helps greatly when you have a team of people from different locations. You can all work on it and updates in real time.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't really have any dislikes. Or we wouldn't be still using it after 5+ years. We love it and recommend it to anyone.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy collaboration with team members in various locations. Great for organizing tasks and to do's and assigning those to various team members to accomplish.
Solid solution, just didn’t get traction at our company
What do you like best about the product?
The UI was great and everything was super easy to navigate and figure out
What do you dislike about the product?
Lots of clicking. Essentially that was the downfall for us, we could not get over the jump of data entry time cost
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Staying more organized and keeping everyone in the loop on projects
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Staying committed to company wide adoption is key, not just with this but any project management software
Asana Review
What do you like best about the product?
It has a calendar application embedded within, which allows the team to all share a working calendar
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a separate application and does not connect directly to our existing calendars such as outlook or gmail, which makes it more of a hassle of duplicating inputs than increased efficiency.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using it for project management purposes. A benefit that we've found is that it allows you to include notes and attachments into the app.
Cross Functional Collaboration and Documentation
What do you like best about the product?
How it can be used for different functions. Engineering needs are often at odds with other functions like Marketing, but Asana allows both teams to be in the same project management tool which is key.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing is steep and there are some great features that are one price tier above ours. Unfortunately, right now there are not enough features to justify moving one more tier above what we are already paying.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our whole team has really taken to Asana very quickly. Moving everyone to Asana has not been the normal case of pulling teeth and constant reminders. It has increased visibility across and the organization and we hope it will increase productivity over time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You have a lot of flexibility, but will still need to communicate clearly when different teams use Asana together. This has been key in making sure our process is clear
