The definitive tool for project management, collaboration and sharing
What do you like best about the product?
The perfect UX allows to manage every task in the best way possible. Each task can be edited in an appropriate way with several options.
What do you dislike about the product?
The login via Google Account. I would add at least the possibility to have LinkedIn.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Projects management, team management, remote team management
A great tool for collaborative project managers
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Asana uses the PMI standards and the common vocabulary used from project management. Teams with varying level of project management experience are able to quickly get up to speed on the terminology. The task list is great for clarifying specific responsibilities
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana doesn't leave a lot of room for flexibility - especially with projects that are prone to change suddenly in scale or scope.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm often struggling to manage numerous projects at various stages of development with team members that have significantly different levels of involvement. It does a great job of accommodating everyone - from team members that tend to be focused on the granular details of implementation to those that just want to be sure that the project is on track.
Asana was great for personal tracking!
What do you like best about the product?
Great way to update my to-do list. It had a great way of tracking the tasks I wanted quickly and easily with good app support too.
What do you dislike about the product?
I couldn't seem to get others to use it too...low adoption from the team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tasks vs emails -- I was trying to get away from using emails for everything but old habits die hard. The email system is still the best way to address most things unfortunately. Team adoption at the very beginning of a project is likely when this will work best and not after the fact. Project teams will benefit from sharing tasks and taking over tasks easily when required. The issues I had were getting my team to send tasks to the Asana tasks vs emails almost consistently...again, better management and some kind of point system might help people to adopt this better. An incentive perhaps in using the tool, like a give away for the team members that adopt the most features and use the tool the most might help.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Team adoption will be tough but worth it if you can get them there.
Loved It
What do you like best about the product?
Asana isn't a full-fledged Kanban sort of management tool, but it worked wonderfully for the biomedical company I was involved with last year. We were able to manage a number of projects and a large number of employees all at once while keeping the right amount of transparency -- or lack thereof.
What do you dislike about the product?
There was nothing I particularly disliked about it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Primarily we saw an uptick in coordination and it made the job of managing multiple projects and subprojects at once significantly easier.
Effective project management tool
What do you like best about the product?
I love the deadline feature and the ability to add images to tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish tasks weren't archived to a different location once marked as complete and that you had the ability to hyperlink within tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is great for project management and staying on top of deadlines. Love the reminders it sends to assignees to complete tasks, as well as to assigners when tasks have been updated/completed.
Mildly confusing interface
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to create tasks and lists under different categories. The similarities in design to Slack, another common workplace app.
What do you dislike about the product?
How much clicking is necessary to get from task to task. How divided (and therefore small) the screen gets.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am planning large scale multi-week events and projects with my team. It is easy to assign tasks to different colleagues and check in on their progress.
Useful but not necessary
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to set up tasks and goals and to track them. The calendar view is very useful to know when things are due, and lets you get organized easily. It's also easy to have goals checked completed and assign goals and tasks to team members.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not well organized if you have multiple companies and multiple tasks in each company. It works well for single projects, but I need a tool that can help me organize across many projects from different enterprises.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organization and assignment of tasks for each team member. Tracking of milestones and seeing them in a calendar to make sure we complete deadlines is one thing we did accomplish. It also makes it easy to figure out who is doing what and who is responsible for the tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use Trello
Good for tracking action items, categorization/organization could be better
What do you like best about the product?
Quick and easy to create action items, and move them around, assign them, create due dates and reminders, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Labels are for viewing only and items under a label don't actually relate to the label other than visually. That means you can't sort your work queues as things will no longer be categorized by label. Huge disadvantage and makes it difficult to prioritize items overall across different labels.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracking client deliverables, assignments, due dates, etc.
Excellent tool for collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use platform. File transfer and live time updates.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing to dislike. Would be easier to use if it was an application and not a web based platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration with individuals in many locations across the country. Allows for easy access to ideas and sharing of products.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Test and use compared to other products. Believe this is easier to use than the free items provided by Google.
