Great option for small teams
What do you like best about the product?
If your team is small, this is your tool, you will have all the options you can imagine, reports, tasks assigned in a very simple way, you will be able to control absolutely all your work time and workload, which leads to better productivity for each team member.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's really nothing wrong with Asana, maybe just the initial loading time of the web application, or that it's impossible to organize a very large team well if you don't divide it up a lot.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is a very powerful tool for organizing your work team, focusing on tasks and not wasting time, having clear objectives and tracking the work being done. It is the best tool in its sector, no doubt.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is a great application for small groups, or if large groups can work well when very divided and with one or several people exclusively responsible for moving the work that is being completed from one group to another. If you are a large group, it might be very difficult for you to organize your entire team in Asana.
Product over average
What do you like best about the product?
The easiest way to manage team tasks and projects. Asana offers everything you need to be synchronized, meet deadlines and achieve your goals. Easy to use and easy to set up. All the time was happy with the app. Very visual.
What do you dislike about the product?
It has some similar areas which confuses and causes that in the end they are divided into two groups. The price would be another flaw, there are few members per team and then each member costs individually, there are no good offers for large groups unless you contact with them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I visualized my work and the work of my collegues. I made my work and the other's work advance through the various stages of the project with speed, ease and excellence.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend Asana to campanies where people have to work togheter and syncronization is very important. It is easy to use and set up, and visually looks fine, what improves your experience. You won't regret it.
Great for keeping things organized
What do you like best about the product?
The organization, ability to assign task to others, and the liking and commenting features. Overall it's a really great organizational tool, although it does work better if everyone is using it consistently, otherwise things can get lost by people not checking their Asana and seeing what's been assigned to them.
What do you dislike about the product?
If some people are using only Asana for creating and assigning tasks to people, but some people don't use it as frequently, things can get lost in the shuffle. It's really nothing against Asana itself, more on how people us it. Although I would say their notification settings aren't great, it's pretty much either all (where you're getting emails all the time for every little thing) or nothing. This can feed into that problem, if you have your email notification off, you have to go actually check Asana, so if you don't you might miss stuff, and you can't just set the notifications to email when a new task is assigned.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping some projects and tasks better organized, and helping people view what's going on within a team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure your whole team is on board with implementing Asana for project assignment, otherwise stuff might slip through the cracks from people not checking it. Also, they have amazing walkthroughs for all sorts of stuff, so you can find the answer to pretty much any question pretty easily.
Great project management tool for content marketing
What do you like best about the product?
The depth of functionality within Asana is remarkable. I really like visualizing project timeliness in different forms. As a project manager, creating templates and using dependent tasks make my life a little easier, too. The price is reasonable and the support forum is helpful/responsive.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's very difficult to get used to. Coming from Basecamp -- where things looked simpler -- Asana took me a while to understand. It's like learning Excel for the first time: it's complex and there are many features, but once you learn how it works, it's a lifesaver.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana keeps our business processes in check. We can deliver work to clients on time and on budget.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use the free 30-day trial for a few projects before deciding to go all in and switch systems.
Asana is a fantastic under-used tool!
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a great way to organize priorities and work on projects! The dashboard is cool and interactive. It is easy to use and even has a favorites section!
What do you dislike about the product?
Things stay there in your dashboard until you delete them or move forward with them. So make sure to keep update while using the took to avoid 'cluttering' your dashboard.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Group projects, time managment, pulling reports.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is really fun and is a great way to manage your projects! I highly recommend trying this product out and seeing how much it can improve your workday and projects!
Good Program for Business Management
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a website where you can easily manage a company's tasks. You can easily create work groups and add employees. Within those groups, you can create tasks for each person or groups of people, and those tasks, in turn, can be returned once completed or modified with tags to make it easier to locate the tasks. It is a very useful tool for documenting, for example, work done in a warehouse or a company with many departments that need to be in contact.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I like the least is that we depend on the internet; if it goes down, we can't access anything. There should be something local, so that if the connection is lost, at least you can see what you had until then. The searches are also not entirely well done; there are more fields they should include for searching, as there are things you can't easily search for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In the company where I work, there is a before and after since we have Asana... it hasn't been perfect. Before, there was a lot of disorder in the company, now with this website, we can pass tasks to each other, write modifications on them, and pass them among colleagues and likewise, pass them to other departments of the company. It's also good for my bosses, as they can have greater control over tasks and time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
it is highly recommended
Use it because there is nothing better...yet.
What do you like best about the product?
Has the most features than any software in its industry. Has plenty of options, and is easy enough to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a huge bug where if you put to many projects in one group then the tasks within it will stop showing up for people.... randomly. It's an easy fix to create a new group, however there is no warning that the group is too full to accept additional projects, so there might be some time before anyone picks up on this. This has caused my company to miss deadlines in the past and is the main reason as soon as there is an alternative our company will drop Asana like a bad habit.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it to assign out work and so other teams can see what projects members are working on.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If they fix that issue and there is still not a better alternative..... then yes I guess your stuck with it.
Asana offers basic organization
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is very good for collaborating with team members, and tracking which tasks need to be done. It is a good way to stay on top of what you should be doing at work, especially for projects with a lot of small tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is no in-progress task status or "need help" task status for projects. It would be intuitive to have a way to share with your collaborators where you are at with your project, such as "in progress" or "roadblock" or anything with an icon instead of just "task" and "complete". That said, it is a good, basic communication tool for working on projects and holding each other accountable with deadlines.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Event management for fundraisers at our non-profit. It has helped us keep on track of what we need to be doing and what has yet to get done for the event, especially time-sensitive deadlines.
Really simple to use and collaborate
What do you like best about the product?
It's so easy to tag people and make sure that once they're done they don't have to keep getting notifications since you can just take them off the task.
Super easy to organize projects and prevent duplicate tasks.
Super easy to organize projects and prevent duplicate tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's nothing that comes to mind. It serves the purpose we have it for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has helped us remove silos between departments by collaborating on projects here. If someone feels they want updates they can be added as a follower. It has helped us project management at scale.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Depending on your needs, Asana helped our operational excellence go from a 6 to a 9. We are able to get so much more done now that we have everyone using and trained in asana. They have great training videos that make training from 0-80% about an hours time.
Useful and attractive
What do you like best about the product?
I like using asana because it's very attractive and simple to use. I like that I can use Lists or Boards to organize projects. Tasks are easy to create and keep track of. It's useful to see where changes have been made within projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that anyone can change tasks and that there are not different user permissions. I'd like to see some more capabilities with project tracking numbers. I haven't found any useful solutions to that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps me keep my teams' projects organized and on time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is simple to use and seems to be adding new capabilities and improvements. I'd recommend the platform to users who have don't have too many tasks within projects. It takes a fair amount of time to keep asana organized and useful.
