Useful for big projects & delegating
What do you like best about the product?
If you're in charge of a project with many moving pieces, this program is great for seeing who is doing what, assigning tasks, keeping to deadlines, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Emails galore! Unless you change your email settings, it sends you an email every day about your to-do lists.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have been able to delegate better and with more transparency!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ask yourself if you have a need for delegating tasks in a streamlined transparent way, so all members of a team can see projects and tasks as they progress.
Great Calendar Project Management
What do you like best about the product?
I use the calendar feature all the time. It is great to see what I have going on and what my team has going on. It also allows for real project planning, where I can set tasks, daily even, and have it lead in the back end to a greater and larger project.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was an ability to clone and tas and lead to the same edit screen as creating a task minus the assignee and the date.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
we use Asana to plan tasks for projects, this also gives us a real schedule and visual of how busy our month or week is. it also allows us to keep track of when a task isn't ready to be performed as we can move it to a new date and the task records that movement.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana works very well for companies looking for a software that can break down projects into manageable tasks, and record those tasks on a very minute level. it can also help with repetitive tasks that need to be redone every month, like a contract renewal.
Asana is great for collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
The many features make Asana a full-suite project management software, the best part of which is collaboration with your teammates. It pulled me out of my inbox and into doing the actual work.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a few features that seem like they should be intuitive, but are missing. For example, assignment of tasks to multiple people, being able to pull a report of all the projects you own, and the ability to manipulate how sub-tasks show up in a project list would be nice.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We’re remote, so being able to check in at a glance on the status of project is real-time is invaluable.
Could probably utilize it better, but failed to provide real change for my workflows
What do you like best about the product?
Clear check-list formatting, once you dig into a bit of the shortcuts/workflows/best practices, pretty easy to create tasks, assign ownership, set deadlines in a readily sharable, visible way
What do you dislike about the product?
It is a lot of orchestration, but ultimately feel like just another tool to keep open, another tab to have always open. I don't use it enough to live in it and find full value, so it is just annoying to have to go access it for certain projects, certain teams who use it. Most of my specific product feedback is probably more a reflection of my own shallowness of use rather than core product issues, but I just don't see differentiated enough value to justify yet another pm/task mgmt tool
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
clearer project mgmt, deadlines, visibility
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Vet exactly what you need from a tool like this and what you think adoption will be. Is it worth adding another tool to the stack?
Asana- the collaboration tool you NEED to level up
What do you like best about the product?
Besides just being amazing, its features are mostly intuitive, it is highly integrative and highly functional.
What do you dislike about the product?
New users have a hard time learning some features if they dont have at least some guidance. These are mostly minor issues but tips inside the software for new users would help this. Also, there has been a lack of support for their templates on their other site Templana, as well as their main site it self.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am rapidly growing a team at my consulting agency and keeping communications, plans, and details all in one place was a nightmare beofre asana. The ability to have a project management tool that works and is affordable is a game changer for my business.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There will be challenges with learning asana, but for the buck it is THE BEST project management software out there.
Asana to keep tasks organized
What do you like best about the product?
Asana's layout is user friendly and aesthetically pleasing. It makes organizing lists of tasks easy by due date as well as by priority ranking. The comments for each assignment make collaborating easy with a larger team and make it easy to track what has gotten done. Your list of tasks also makes planning the day easier because everything is laid out in front of you in one easy checklist.
What do you dislike about the product?
While the breakdown of assignments into different tasks is great, it would be nice to able to submit comments to these specific stages instead of to the task as a whole.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana makes it easy to keep several team members on the same page for shared assignments. It's also easy to track what tasks are getting done by who.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would highly recommend Asana because it's easy to implement and it's very user friendly. Its appearance and features makes it less intimidating to use than other programs of the same sort. For managers, it makes assigning projects and keeping track of assignments easy.
Asana - Great for team accountability
What do you like best about the product?
From a manager's perspective, I love that Asana allows me to see what my employees have crossed off their list. It's great for accountability and making sure everyone is staying on task.
What do you dislike about the product?
From a coworker's perspective, I don't like that I can see what work my fellow coworkers are doing. For example, I don't want them to see how much I've done if I have private info on there.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Accountability, team building, ability to chat with each other. It's nice to have many features in one dashboard.
Good time management missing some important features
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use and ability to use mobile devices to track project progress. Free to try. Full featur d one is affordable.
What do you dislike about the product?
No time tracking option to make hourly billing easy. Would really like to link hours to projects to allow for easy billing to clients.
Email goes out to everyone on the team whenever a change is made.
Email goes out to everyone on the team whenever a change is made.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are trying to corrdinate multiple projects across multiple people and track project progress in a manner so that all the people in the office have access to progress.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If your looking for time tracking look elsewhere
This tool is a Godsend
What do you like best about the product?
It's handy, it's helpful and my team and I can stay connected, stay on task and stay focused. It keeps all project management in one place.
What do you dislike about the product?
I tried to get some phone support and was told there is none. That needs to be fixed. Otherwise, I find no fault with Asana.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We no longer have multiple list but 1 place for all of our project management. It's amazing!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend Asana. Once I figured out the layout of the app, it was very easy to use, easy to add team members and great to keep everyone on the same page with the same tasks. No more email trails about what we are working on. It's all in one place.
Regain Your Sanity with Asana!
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is very easy to understand and use. It's easy (and fast!) to add tasks and subtasks to projects because the Asana interface is designed to reflect the ease of use of a text editor. *Very* effective design paradigm.
What do you dislike about the product?
The mobile Asana app has a relatively steep learning curve. Takes some time and experimentation to find your projects and tasks and learn how to be productive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm mostly solving personal organization problems with Asana. Creating project streams for myself, adding tasks with dates to those projects, and then knocking out the work I've planned and organized for myself. I also use Asana to communicate with a very small team of people that are mostly following my updates as I knock out work planned in Asana.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend just trying Asana. Time yourself and see how long it takes you to get up and running with the tool and how long it takes you to become productive with it. Think about the text editor design paradigm and just use the Enter/Return and Delete keys accordingly. Super fast. I'd also recommend starting your trial using the web app instead of using the mobile app.
