Pretty dang good
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has been helpful to use after transitioning from working exclusively in Google sheets and scattered project management from meeting to meeting. The follow up system and accountability for who needs to be doing what is huge.
What do you dislike about the product?
In my experience the hardest part about this has been onboarding coworkers who are not as tech savvy as the millennials in the office. Some of them just refuse to get the hang of it, which is frustrating!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management, employee accountability, team collaboration
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Focus on onboarding and really explore the app with coworkers to decide on best layouts, features, etc
Doesn't seem any more useful than communicating through email
What do you like best about the product?
It stores all of our information, but so does just about every other product ever used. Cant really think of great things I liked about it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Doesn't seem any more useful than communicating through email. they layout is odd, and the way to communicate isnt intuitive. Just communicate through email.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to communicate with our freelancers, but we could just as easily do that through email. Just seems unnecessary.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would highly suggest just finding other means of project management.
Nice UI, but lacking in features
What do you like best about the product?
I like that is is relatively easy to set up if you have a few projects, and it is pretty easy to manage with your coworkers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Once you get past a few projects, you start to wander down a rabbit hole and it becomes very hard to navigate
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration is what we use this for, but since we are growing this is becoming less and less of a product for us
Decent Project Management System
What do you like best about the product?
I like that all my tasks can be viewed at once on the screen. I also think the app is helpful since it sends notifications when tasks are due.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was a way to mark the urgency of tasks. Sometimes a bunch of tasks are lingering since they are not as urgent - it would be helpful to be able to flag less urgent so they do not keep popping up.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This helps keeps the team accountable to the tasks we need to complete. Previously, we would have our own separate lists of tasks so many things would inevitably fall through the cracks. Now, our team can see who is responsible for which tasks easily so that things get done.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure your whole team buys into using it. Otherwise, you will get a huge backlog of uncompleted tasks that will eventually cause more people to stop using the tool.
Asana is as good as you make it
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is excellent for task management across multiple people. It is easy to communicate what needs done and when. I also like the email functionality. Asana is connected to project partner's email accounts so you can message one another both in the app or through email.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think that looking at a total project on Asana can be difficult. The software does have the ability to turn your task lists into a gantt chart, but they are difficult to read and impossible to share with others who aren't familiar with project.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We work on projects across multiple partners - sometimes within the same organization and sometimes not. Asana allows us to communicate about the progress of the project and next steps with ease. It also gives us a common language and common tools from which we are all working. Prior to Asana different organizations and even different people within organizations were using their own project management tools with little to no collaboration across partners.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is only as good as the team using it. If you are thinking about implementing Asana, your team must be disciplined in its implementation and continued use. If team members only use Asana sporadically than results will be sporadic. It's important to utilize the tool regularly and to it's fullest extent.
User Friendly Control Panel
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ability to speak with others on multiple projects at once. It is helpful to know the current progress of several project while maintaining overall flow.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wished for a more "user-friendly" control panel on the dashboard. I would like to have more control over details within the larger structure of a project. At times, it can be difficult to achieve desired outcome.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My center experienced huge flow issues due to lack of proper communication on multiple projects at once that needed to occur in sync with other components of the larger project. Ex. Team A, needs to know the difference in population in client who use RxAb, but doesn't have the proper code to search. Asana allows for both teams to work in harmony without flack.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Better User-Friendly controls, as in more options
Asana Review
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is helpful once you learn all of its nuances because it sends reminders, and has a free flowing list of all the responsibilities a user puts in it. I also put in my personal stuff, it makes organizing my day a bit easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
How easy it is to delete tasks, I wish they would pause for a moment when deleting a task with sub tasks especially
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The constant need to remind people to get tasks done
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just have some time set aside to use the product correctly
Fairly easy to understand and use, but can become overwhelming with all the options available.
What do you like best about the product?
I like that there is a significant amount of control over what is included in the description and the breakdown of tasks. The visualization is also extremely easy on the eyes, and it is enjoyable to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike how complicated recording a task can become. With the vast number of options, it becomes overwhelming for the average user. Even in simply avoiding the options altogether, it does not make the task easier to create. Perhaps different methods of approaching tasks, and different methods of thinking are all that is required to enjoy Asana. But for me, it was not enjoyable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
None. We decided against using it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't be afraid to give it a try! The program is terribly easy to use, and looks beautiful. Just be aware that different people may not be able to approach task completion in the same way.
Asana helps my agency handle all of our clients
What do you like best about the product?
I love the various dashboards/organization - for instance, I can assign things to myself or others, and categorize these assignments under specific clients if I want to. I can then look at my to do list as a whole, or my to do list for each client. This really helps streamline my day.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I think there might be too many bells and whistles - I also don't like that sometimes I get emails for Asana related tasks and other times I don't.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This helps us assign tasks in an orderly way without the danger of missing an email or call. It's almost impossible to forget a task because you have the exact date due and the exact person who assigned it is "following" the task to get any updates
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go for it! It's like an interactive to do list that everyone on your team can access. Great for small businesses and remote teams.
Great Product! Easy to Use!
What do you like best about the product?
I like the simplicty of it and how it breaks away from traditional project mgmt tools
What do you dislike about the product?
Reporting is very weak. You can't print the dashboards to scale and the export feature is not great either.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are providing a single pane of glass to manage and track all customer and internal projects and its a great system
