Asana has one of the best interfaces for Project Management
What do you like best about the product?
The listing of the tasks is laid out very nicely, and I love the ability to see additional notes for a chosen task in the same window. I use the comments section of each task to keep a log of any project updates, which comes in handy. I also like the ability to receive an email when a task is due.
What do you dislike about the product?
The one thing I don't like about it, is that there isn't a specified area created just for notes in each task. I use the comments section, but it would be nice if there was a designated area just for that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Asana for keeping track of all the projects we're working on in the Marketing team. Its also great, when it comes to sharing input on different projects, so we can keep referencing each team member's comments, when needed. Emails are great but can get scattered overtime, and can be a pain to sort. Here, all the feedback stays in one place, under each project.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're looking for a project management software that has an "easy to use" interface and has the ability to keep your team up to date on tasks, this is a great option to consider. The number 1 thing in project management software is making your life easier and this definitely does.
Asana - The Team Task Tracker!
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use and help with staying focused on the task at hand. It is a critical piece of software for our organizations to organize a large team and ensure that everyone's jobs are being managed and completed. I love not having to micromanage my staff and nag them to stay on task with projects - this allows them to have some autonomy in their work and gives me piece of mind that the work is being done in a timely manner.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is a strong program and there isn't really anything we dislike at this point.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I felt that I constantly had to nag my staff to feel confident that we were staying on task. Asana allows me to relax and KNOW that the job is getting done. Everyone is happier that we are scheduling fewer team meetings because we can see that tasks are being completed in real time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Headed in the right direction!
Good for program management
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to organize and navigate different tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not seemless in transferring information into other programs like outlook for team members that have different apps for organization.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Coordinating tasks across different teams for several projects at once.
Asana needs a little more
What do you like best about the product?
Flexibility in setting up new projects & onboarding new users
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of hierarchy and other ways to differentiate and/or group tickets into projects
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To do lists, help desk queue, development & desktop support backlog & state management
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
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.
Its ok. I wish the input could be simplified
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to transfer tasks to others and I appreciate the email reminders
What do you dislike about the product?
the left sidebar navigation is a bit wonky and hard to navigate.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
What I had hope to use it for was for replicating tasks in future years and I never really got to use that feature.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is an easy to use and cheap/free project planning tool. It would be great if it supported GAANT charts
Asana is easy to use.
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is fine. It's got a pretty good setup for managing different groups and sharing information in a clear and functional way. It's also easy to chat with others and share info with whoever needs it in the company.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think most of what I disliked was how incompetent my companies use of it seemed. We had a lot of repeat groups trying to accomplish the same thing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It had useful timeline coordination aspects. It helped keep a lot of people on task.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is only as useful as your companies workers - they have to actually do their part. However, the breakdowns on Asana are clear and it's easy to see whether progress is being made on tasks.
Helpful tool for collaboration.
What do you like best about the product?
Keeps task in front of everyone and helps track progress. We use it to help 100+ employees collaborate on a huge conference. Too many tasks to keep up with, but with Asana it was all managed and helped us pull off a great event.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a job to get familiar using it. Takes too much work on front end and can be tedious. All the new users have trouble getting used to it. It seems like it takes more work to mark a task completed than it does to actually complete the task.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team collaboration from distance. I have no idea how we would track progress and help everyone stay focused on various tasks required for our conference.
Asana effectiveness
What do you like best about the product?
I liked the concept of focused goal oriented tasking
What do you dislike about the product?
I did not like the difficulty in communication with Asana, limiting communiction to dialogue through the platform and not via email at al
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Integration of two software platforms in healthcare
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Concerns about communication with more than 1 person or redirecting assignments is clunky at best.
