Amazing Project Management
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ability to prioritize my tasks and organize my day. This software allows me to keep myself organized and keeps everyone that I serve happy!
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the lack of reporting options for the free accounts. I understand that there needs to be a reason to purchase, but working at a nonprofit means we don't have much in a budget for this kind of thing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Asana to manage all helpdesk and IT projects going forward. It helps my team stay organized and on task every day.
Most user friendly project management software we could find
What do you like best about the product?
Simple and to the point. Not a lot of onboarding necessary to get people up and running. Asana also has great video tutorials.
What do you dislike about the product?
Wish there was a desktop app so it could be used offline.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are a remote company so this makes collaboration much better
Trello with more bells and whistles
What do you like best about the product?
Similar interface to Trello, so pretty easy to wrap your head around all the functions.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it seems like too much. What I love about Trello is how simple it is; some of the features in Asana are a little too much for me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project/Sprint planning
Nice tool but not my go to.
What do you like best about the product?
Nice dashboard and interface. I like the different tools that are available and easy to collaborate.
What do you dislike about the product?
I often use MS project for my project management or MS teams, it's not my go to tool that I use often.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
More collaboration with my colleagues
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.
