Excellent for Clients & Team
What do you like best about the product?
Lets you invite unlimited clients to a project to collaborate.
What do you dislike about the product?
You still have to be a super organized person. Sometimes the notifications and dropping of tasks can get forgotten.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Transparency with clients and making sure as a team we don't miss any steps. We set up templates like projects so we do the same tasks with consistency.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Compare it to others - if you want to add your clients without paying for them, we found Asana is the best bet.
Great for Teams!
What do you like best about the product?
I love that we can have individual tasks along with our Group tasks but are still able to keep them separate. This makes for easy tracking and assigning them to other team members.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that your tasks aren't sorted by completed/not completed. When you mark something complete, you hav eto manually drag it all the way down to the end of the list...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're having our projects completed on time and all members of our team are active in it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Keeping your projects prioritized and keeping all team members involved is a breeze with Asana.
Task Management Made Easy
What do you like best about the product?
I like the team integration and the unlimited tasks and projects. The dashboard is a nice feature as well the reporting function.
What do you dislike about the product?
assigning tasks across different teams can be a little confusing as well as sorting projects through everyone's personal project lists.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When our previous task management system went down, Asana stepped in and proved to be a great tool to fill this void. It is a little more complex that our previous system but with added features that makes tracking project lifelines and task resolution easy.
Simple and customizable interface
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to customize to make things as simple or complex as you need. It only took me about ten minutes to get the hang of the software. I have a client who already uses Asana for task management. They assigned me a company email and it was great to be immediately connected to their other projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really dislike that you can't view more of the board tasks and cards at once. I think you can only see 4 cards and about 4 tasks down. I'd like to be able to remove certain features if I don't need them. For eI think the list dashboard can be simpler. I don't want to see blank lines if I don't need them. I'm a visual learner/worker and it crowds my thinking. I don't like that I have to really get into the software to be able to see where the shortcut keys are. It would benefit from having a quick list of shortcut keys you can learn about immediately upon signing up for the software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's great for project management for my freelance clients. It's nice to be able to control access and give them a snapshot of all the moving parts with the board feature. I tried a few other task management software programs and Asana stood out the most for its simplicity. Some of my clients are not tech savvy and it's really nice to see that it is simple for them to understand.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
none
Great for team work flow, has some small quirks
What do you like best about the product?
The learning curve for Asana is relatively minimal compared to Trello. I love being able to a customize a template for projects and assign a different person to that project. It's simple and easy to use and doesn't take someone with limited knowledge to jump right in and use the platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
I use Asana to prioritize actions in my day -- but I would love if there was a way to assign more than one person to a task.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We assign projects to various team members. It's an easy one-stop shop way of checking and seeing where projects are in their development process without having to bug team members for an update.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is much better for big-team projects; some of tasks/and sub-tasks can get lost when you move them around, though.
Asana is a life SAVER
What do you like best about the product?
Organizing my projects by board is such an amazing feature. It's like virtual sticky notes, but in an organized and easy-to-use fashion!
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish I had more customization with my tasks in terms of repeating. It would be nice to have tasks triggered by an event or schedule, like every other week or by date. Unfortunately, it only lets me repeat by week.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest benefit is managing a team. Working together to solve problems and work collaboratively on tasks has been a big help in keeping things moving in the right direction.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Investigate other softwares so you know just exactly how amazing Asana is! We investigated several project management software, but Asana kills it.
Game Changer!
What do you like best about the product?
Love how easy it is to use, and how easy it is to manage all those small details that cannot be overlooked, across everyone on our team. Especially if someone is off, their tasks can be easily picked up by someone else.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish I could flag some of the tasks as a high priority
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Making sure all the small tasks are being taken care of, having a system to make sure we're able to cover off each others tasks during absences, and having systems & processes in place for new projects
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Watch Youtube videos to find best practices. It'll really help.
Awesome. Has helped with organization immensely.
What do you like best about the product?
I am a hard-core 'to-do lister' I live by them and I can't function without it. I have a ton of notebooks full of to-do lists and I hate wasting all that paper. I used Asana in a previous role and I LOVED IT. Knew I had to implement it with this role and I have not used a to-do list again. Love that you can assign tasks to users, and when it's marked as complete, you get a notification!
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly nothing! They have changed their layout so much and it is so much easier to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organization! Helps with staff who have a million things to do throughout the day and need to rely on a software to get organized.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend trying it out for yourself first and using the free trial. Then, it's easy to present to staff and get them excited about using the platform.
Seamless Task Management with a Rotating Team
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has a multitude of layers that I believe really contribute to its success. The Project>Task>Subtask workflow has quickly become a vital key in my office, allowing a shifting staff (many of our staff are traveling at different times - our most regular workers are student employees, and even then their schedules are variable) to keep near-perfect track of planning processes throughout the year.
What do you dislike about the product?
My biggest complaints rest in a few quirks that are able to be gotten around but could be easier, the foremost being that there's no real way to track if a Task's subtasks are only half-finished without opening the task. The interface as a whole could be developed to be a bit sleeker and perhaps provide more info from the overview.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Prior to utilizing Asana, we had archaic system built around Gmail tagging and Drive spreadsheets. Asana has made tracking and communicating within the office a million times more efficient, as well as easier.
Good mix of project management and collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
The best things about Asana are the ability yo track tasks at the user level and the rich, data filled progress reports the program produces.
What do you dislike about the product?
The customer service/ support/ helpdesk is really lacking.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Task management and streamlining workflow is easily helped by Asana.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The premium plan is a must for teams.
