Good way to share tasks
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to share tasks and checklists with other team members.
What do you dislike about the product?
The whole setup is a bit overkill, with repeated items often created and then these are not so easily destroyed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Needing to share tasks and items with other team members is quick and easy, and the checklists that can be accessed by entire teams is great for accountability.
Works great for project management
What do you like best about the product?
I like how you can view different projects either by a product board, list and how they tie into each other.
What do you dislike about the product?
The subtasks you are able to create can be confusing to some users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
How to manage larger projects and incorporate them/see the bigger picture.
Asana is great for teams - if the team is your main priority.
What do you like best about the product?
The thing I like best about Asana is that it keeps all correspondence in one place. It's easy to check what my teammates are saying and have everything that we need to work on something easily accessible. It's much more time-saving than email and is built with a singular goal in mind which means it's much better at achieving that goal than more general applications like email.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the inbox function, I wish it worked more like an email inbox - showing you new correspondence instead of making you click in to the project to read everything that's happening. I also dislike the layout just a bit. For some reason the dark layout and multiple task bars hasn't quite clicked as enjoyable for me yet. I would prefer to land in my inbox - something with a few highlighted notes and then have the option to hop over to my dashboard if I wanted.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana improves business efficiency by keeping all team players on the same page, cutting down on time sifting through email chains and potentially missing key info.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is great for working remotely as a team. I only work as part of a team for about 10% of my freelance workload, so the admin of asana can be an extra task, but if your full-time job is working on creative or production tasks as a team this is a great tool.
Great for small projects
What do you like best about the product?
Sees tasks in a simple list, easy to manage software for small clients. Great for small storage and due dates/
What do you dislike about the product?
Can't use for more than 10-15 clients. Hard to see the big picture and find tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Simple project management software for agencies to manage their tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Small agencies with less than 20 employees
Useful - For pretty much everything.
What do you like best about the product?
Whether you're a one-man band doing cosmetics, like me, or looking to sort out home organisation or even large scale projects - Asana is where it's at.
Easy to use, multiple layout options!
Easy to use, multiple layout options!
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of customisation, really. It could use with a little more user-specific input and notation spaces.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It really helps with stock management and my production line. It keeps my INCI and formulae centralised.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's ten times better than other similar items - Asana is a really good all-in-one package which doesn't disappoint.
Does the trick, but frustrating!
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is collaborative. My favorite features are the ability to add followers to any task, set up a project and have followers of the entire project plus multiple tasks and a timeline, can add a date range instead of a due date, and the ability to @someone in comments or notes. It's pretty handy.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface is not particularly user-friendly. Because it's not the most intuitive, it's easy to end up using it as a glorified to-do list. If following a task, you receive an email for every single minor change to the task. Things aren't where you would think they should be - right click is not a feature so you have to dig to do something simple like delete a task. You get used to it but the interface feels antiquated. It's more like a software program to cover yourself than a software program to keep a project flowing, And you can't assign one task to multiple people (i.e. if I need 3 people to proofread a document I have to create a task then copy and assign it to the other 2 people)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management, task ownership, accountability, to-do lists
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a shot - it has hiccups but it does the job and is reliable.
Decent
What do you like best about the product?
It is an application that allows me to organize the occasional meeting with sales colleagues, but of course I would prefer another application. I liked this one in the sense that it is much simpler than others, but I don't find it at all pleasant that the company has to spend money on organizing internal meetings between colleagues from the same department.
What do you dislike about the product?
Above all, the price is too high for what it offers. If they lowered the price, maybe, just maybe, in the future we would consider using this application in our company for internal matters.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I help the newcomers who had no idea how to make a plan, for example, for meetings.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The price is high for an application that only allows us to organize meetings; otherwise, the interface is very simple. Let's say that even a person with no computer experience could understand it, but of course, I like other applications more. However, it's the one we've been working with lately in the company.
Good task management platform
What do you like best about the product?
Keeping track of tasks for others (and adding to them) so we're all on the same page of what's accomplished.
What do you dislike about the product?
We only use the free version at this point. We don't fully find it beneficial to switch to the paid version, nor do we think we'd find it worth it for the value.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Task management and staying on the same page inside the organization.
Great Tool for Small Teams
What do you like best about the product?
I like how user friendly the UI is and all of the product guides were super intuitive and quick. I was able to get my account and immediately generate todo lists for myself and my team. Then using their guides and videos become an expert at building my Kanban board for each project and organize all my sub tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like how a gantt chart is an add on, I also do not like how when someone creates a task but doesnt assign a due date its hard for me to track down how long a task was created for and have those populate a sheet or an area so that i can make sure people put due dates to their tasks and we dont forget about them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are doing project management and team management. The benefit is that we can go from 0 task management and project management to a pretty simple solution in only a few hours.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are a small team its a great tool but if you are looking for a full blown project management solution Asana doesnt come with all the bells and whistles you might be expecting.
Simple project management
What do you like best about the product?
Asana offers an easy way to keep track of tasks. I find it works well for scheduling tasks and handling to-do lists
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't think asana would work well for complicated tasks, and it's not the best for collaborating on files
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management and task lists
