Ultimately helpful for a large team or for difficulties in determining task responsibility
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can forward emails to Asana and it will make them into tasks. That's a really helpful way of keeping track of to-do lists. I also like that there are communications threads and ways to comment on tasks and tag coworkers. It's a helpful way to collect tasks into projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
Occasionally there would be details that I was trying to find within Asana conversations. I would type keywords into the search bar, but as far as I can tell, it didn't search through conversations or comments. Because of this, I'm unable to find comments in threads that are relevant to the task I need to finish. Between having "conversations" and commenting on threads, it can be frustrating to not be able to find conversations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helped with several of our regional offices cooperating and communicating to plan a mega-event. We were able to delegate efficiently, have conversations about the different projects, and be able to tell who was in charge of each event. It definitely made the planning stages much smoother and it was a great step toward everyone being on the same page. It definitely helped establish a significant workflow, allowing everyone to know what their specific responsibilities are, and helping the large conference event we were planning to move smoothly. I loved that it was easy to communicate with other people on my team, but I wish that there was a more streamlined way to go.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This app is incredibly helpful in organizing larger projects!
Good for managing an tracking tasks
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to assign team members specific tasks and the email reminders are helpful in making sure deadlines are met
What do you dislike about the product?
some of the dashboard functionality is kind of confusing. A cleaner interface would help
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
easy to track work and ensure deadlines are met
Not too bad
What do you like best about the product?
The interface is clean. Color in the right places and seemingly organized.
What do you dislike about the product?
The overflow of notifications required for the system to work is crazy. If there were more prominent notifications you wouldn't need to rely on the Inbox so much.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am subcontracting with a client that uses Asana. I have realized that I just don't like it. I don't know that it's any one thing, just the little things that get to me.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is getting better. I've tried it before when it was just awful but they are getting there. If it works for you, great. I just find myself needing more custom experiences so I go with Podio.
Easy Peasy and Pretty
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is usable for everyone - and I mean that quite literally - it allows users to view projects in their own preference (whether you need to see it as a list, agile board, calendar view, etc), making it the perfect option for my team.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that the free version allowed us to create more options in the templates. Some of the restrictions don't make sense, even in a free option!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to see all projects at a glance. The ability to have a master calendar. The ability to identify project tasks, due dates, etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is a great tool. It really allows for ease of use and visibility, essentially what the tool is needed for!
User Friendly
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing I like about Asana is that it is user friendly & works best for a small organisation to maintain communication between the project leads & other users.
What do you dislike about the product?
The fact that you cannot create tickets within a project and assign that specific ticket to the related individual,
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We don't really solve a problem with Asana. Asana helps us keep track of a on-going project, the status of the project, timeline definition by the individuals involved
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.
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.
Helpful
What do you like best about the product?
I like how it's easy to use and you never get lost
What do you dislike about the product?
It could be more specific to what I need
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am keeping track of my business' projects and overseeing that they get completed successfully
