Excellent and very useful free version
What do you like best about the product?
Very intuitive to use and offers enough customization to make things helpful for many different types of industries. Ability to share with team and have private lists is a helpful tool as well. Overall, a very useful and productive PM tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can sometimes get a little confusing as to which projects are in which person's list when the overall list is shared with the team. I always would like a desktop app instead of a web page as well. Makes it easier to keep open all day.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are in a non profit in which our warehouse needs to sync up with the office on many types of projects. This has helped us very much.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely give it a shot.
Pretty, but not functional
What do you like best about the product?
I loved the visuals of Asana! It was really aesthetically pleasing.
What do you dislike about the product?
I felt that the general functions left much to be desired.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a million wheels spinning at any given team, so something like Asana helps us keep everything straight.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You should make it less pretty and far more function. Take a lot of pages from Teamwork! That's a rough looking program, but it really does the job.
Collaboration Sweet
What do you like best about the product?
Simple interface that any user can learn in minutes. A growing set of tools but without complexity. Does not try to be a Swiss Army knife-does what it does very well no more no less. Although the feature set extends far beyond most of the use cases for which we deployed--that is not a reflection on the product as much as a recognition that we have other tools that were better suited for those tasks. However, had we not had those tools already in place we certainly would have used Asana to meet these needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really. Does not handle MS Word docs very gracefully if you cut and paste, but it is a very minor nit to pick.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use for many small group project collaborations. Recently to keep a steering committee on point during a 7 month business process re-factoring and instantiating an enterprise CRM. We also use this to coordinate an editorial calendar, manage a program pipeline and ensure alignment around various project objectives and tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do not hesitate--great value and immediate benefits
So far so good!
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is very easy to use. It has a great tutorial system to guide new users through the features and benefits and offers tips along the way to get the most out of the program.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there were a way, or an easier way, to have a calendar on all teams. Meaning, I'd like to schedule things in a team-wide calendar so my team could see when people are out of the office, busy, etc. so I don't schedule due dates for people when they're out of the office.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before, I was unable to find a free solution for scheduling tasks and projects to an individual. It is also great that if I want just one person to see a task, they can, without the entire team seeing all the information.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I manage a very small team. It is very easy for me to track and schedule everything using Asana because the amount of people I manage is so small. I'm not sure if this experience is different for a company of a larger size, but I think it is a great tool at a very reasonable or even free if you want to move your company towards using and getting used to using a PM tool. I also think this works for a team that has an administrator, such as a project manager. Not for a team that wants to collaborate together.
Asana a state of art project management tool
What do you like best about the product?
Worked for a start up company that had 10 employees, we used Asana as it was free up to 15 users. It proved to be a wonderful, project, task management software. We were able to allot tasks, follow up, follow through, and had an internal chats to make it more efficient. We used it for campaigns, meetings. Time tracker was the best feature
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing that was irksome, if already someone created a team attached to your domain, probably left the organisation, it was tough to create another. You have to get admin access for the old account.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were a renewable energy company worked on multiple projects, that had multiple engineers, designers, admin people, project managers. We wanted everyone on a single plane to connect and work. The communication gap was something that got fixed beautifully.
Asana has helped our team IMMENSELY
What do you like best about the product?
Things I like best about Asana: It;s user-friendly, intuitive, effective for task management cross-functionally, fun extras, and the software is scalable. Also love that Asana can integrate with TimeCamp (our internal time-tracking and billing system).
What do you dislike about the product?
On very rare occasions the site will be down and we won't be able to do any work until the issue is resolved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Asana to help me manage multiple client accounts with multiple projects per client. The asana task structure helps streamline projects, keep everything organized, and has integrations with other software that we use on a daily basis (dropbox & timecamp)
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is flexible and intuitive. The product is well designed for managing team workflows and task-management. We had the free version, but moved to the paid version a few months ago. Asana has almost replaced the team's need for internal email and google chat.
Collaborative Team Work
What do you like best about the product?
How easy it is for teams to collaborate, as well as the number of different projects that can be created for individual teams. It was great to be able to write notes and have specific individuals track an overall project and the different tasks to complete that project. Very nice way of keeping an entire team responsible for their work.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would have been great to incorporate more organization like color coding (more colors) and how things were displayed as a group versus individual. Giving individual users autonomy to organize as they see fit is nice, but sometimes changes that were made for organizational purposes would have been more helpful for the entire team instead of individually. Allowing the main user to make changes to everyone's structure/organization for certain things would have been helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This is primarily used to keep a team organized and on top of projects that have multiple people working on it at once. That way when on step is completed the team knows to move forward with the next step.
Love it but missing a few basic features.
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ease of use and the simple UI that lets you create task lists by just you using the keyboard. I also like the fact that you can create projects that are only seen by certain teams. And that to create teams you simply add people to it. No profile set-up, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is missing a few key features. One to speak of is the ability to limit who can delete tasks and projects. Everyone one the team has the same permissions. So, as a "inspect who you expect" tool, it is hard to hold someone accountable to tasks. Of course, you can recover deleted task and projects from the recently deleted section, but what I just pulled in the permissions to create a hierarchy?
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving the problem of juggling multiple projects at the same time. Some projects have team members in common. Other projects have only a couple of team members plus one additional team number from outside the company. Asana works well to keep a steady and healthy workflow inter-team and cross-team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Build your current projects first before adding your team members for optimal success of implementation.
Simple and Intuitive
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Asana is so self-explanatory. When introducing new coworkers to Asana, they immediately understand that it's just like writing down a list, with the built in bonus of adding your own sub-lists or assigning tasks to other people.
What do you dislike about the product?
Every once in a while, I feel that Asana is too simplistic and would benefit the user by having more in depth tracking features or wider abilities to assign.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a straight forward way to assign a lot of tasks between our team and set timelines for completion. Asana has helped us achieve that.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want to coordinate a small to mid-size team, this is a great way to be hands-on with task tracking without being a middle manager. Has great tools for sharing too.
