Used to use it but it was almost too flexible.
What do you like best about the product?
I liked how much you could tweak things to do exactly what you wanted.
What do you dislike about the product?
That tweaking became the weakness. Different structures within different areas led to confusion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Task status management.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you define how your team is expected to use it. If you don't control how its used it can get messy.
great product
What do you like best about the product?
incredibly versatile product with ability to manage multiple projects and collaborate with many people
What do you dislike about the product?
which there was two-way syncing with google calendar
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
project management - helps with prioritizing, delegating, and keeping track of deadlines
Recommendations to others considering the product:
great project for managing a small number of projects...might want to go with something paid with more features if managing at a large scale (>50projects)
Good Project Management Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is fairly easy to use. It is great that Asana also sends out e-mail reminders to team members when they have a deadline.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a lot of work on the front end, putting in all the information and due dates and attaching team members. When my team was using it for marketing, it seemed quite cumbersome for our administrative task. Unfortunately, when a computer program sent reminders out, it became like white noise versus a person sending reminders out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping everyone accountable is a huge deal especially in our promotional advertising. This helped eliminate our administrative staff sending out constant reminders for portions of projects due, because once everything was input, reminders were automatically sent out.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a good tool if your administrative staff gets on board with it. Your team truly has to be invested in it as a whole, not just part of them.
We all LOVE Asana
What do you like best about the product?
Design and User Experience are incredible! It has all of the features you'd expect from a project management software you'd hope for and it looks beautiful and is easy for onboarding new users. Can't say enough about how much I like Asana.
What do you dislike about the product?
Number one complaint is load times. I keep Asana up at all times and it would be nice if it didn't disconnect frequently. And it will often load projects and tasks slowly which gets really annoying.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing projects and everyone's tasks from multiple views (eg. each person and by project). It helps us coordinate and have a central repository for adding everything that needs to be done.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Once again, I can't recommend it enough. I hear other startups love it, my team loves it, I love it. Asana nailed a very difficult product and other than the sometimes slower load times I can't find a thing wrong with it. Which for someone who develops software is a very high bar.
Asana has revolutionized how our team works
What do you like best about the product?
Asana provides a system that allows our small team of 32 people to manage almost 200 separate projects, including short-term, medium-term and long-term projects. About a quarter of the team is remote, and we also share some projects with remote clients, making it possible for everyone to have full visibility into the priority tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, there's nothing to dislike about Asana. Perhaps the only deficiency I've found is that it would be nice if there were more features to track the number of different projects different team members are working on. But we've worked out a system to track this in a spreadsheet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have tech, content, design, client service and sales teams all managing client work together. Asana allows all teams to collaborate to deliver world class learning programs and services to our global clients. We simply could not do this without Asana.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Our own implementation of Asana was amateurish. There were some early adopters, and some laggards. If we were to wind back the clock we would have planned and executed our implementation much more effectively if we'd followed change management best practices.
My new favorite PM / Task management platform
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has a great mobile app, excellent integration with both Google Drive and Dropbox and an integration with Zapier that keeps getting updates. It's refreshing to see that they are constantly working on updates and improvement vs. some other PM / task management platforms that rarely push out updates, let alone bug fixes. The FREE plan with almost all the features of paid is a strong statement by Asana that they believe in the value of their product instead of forcing teams to commit before really having a chance to use it on a day to day basis.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't really have much that I dislike...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Needed a flexible Project / Task Management platform that could integrate with a time tracking tool (we ended up going with Harvest, which is a recommended integration among other time tracking tools available for Asana). Having high quality mobile apps (not web apps) for both iOS and Android along with lots of integration options with 3rd party platforms sealed the deal!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's free for the first 15 users with basically all the features you could want.... Try it and see if it fits your workflow.
An easy to use, intuitive tool for a small charity board
What do you like best about the product?
As a small team working remotely, we are able to assign tasks for each other and see what each of us are working on.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to be able to see the list of completed tasks together either outstanding ones. It would help me to see the bigger picture.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a small fundraising executive board giving our time for an organisation for free, we need to make sure we are as efficient as we can possibly be. It helps us get tasks completed on time, understand what each of us gets up to and be a lot more efficient and effective than we would be without it!
Asana experience
What do you like best about the product?
I like the simplicity of it. It's really easy to teach to the non-technical crowd.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's sometimes hard to set up business rules, and causes the aforementioned non-technical crowd might get confused. Technical teams might requeire a more focused product though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've used it for team management for engineering, sales and operations. For engineering there are not a lot of benefits when compared with other competitors, but for sales and ops it is a really good product.
Would Recommend Asana
What do you like best about the product?
I love that I can have several different task lists for all my different clients and projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it is hard to navigate. I have to dig through the side bar sometimes to find what I want.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Staying organized and on-task. Asana helps me visually prioritize projects and clients.
