simple and easy for beginners
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a very user friendly program that doesn't need a lot of explanation to make users efficient while using it. It also has fast performance as an advantage in addition to being free to under 15 users.
What do you dislike about the product?
Add feature to assign tasks to multiple users, sometimes there's more the one person involved in a certain task that needed assignee to be two of them without the need to make sub task. also lack of time tracking and no glimpse of the reporting features in the free version. also embedded integration with other apps is not user friendly
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organizing team work and having logs for every team member input in a certain project and easily communicating regarding updates and status of the task.
Best Software I have used to keep up & updated with Tasks.
What do you like best about the product?
I love the way I can communicate with my colleagues and specially they get to see I was able to complete that task and if by any chance I get to end my shift with out completing that Task, they'll be able to continue that Tasks to make sure it gets completed.
What do you dislike about the product?
At the moment this software is perfect at least to me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I get to complete most of my tasks once I get assigned to them. I can just completed and if I need more time i'll just need to contact who ever I have to and change the due date to buy more time and get back to it when ever. I love it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is an a most software to have. It'll help everyone in the company to keep up with any tasks does not mater how difficult it can be, becs every one will be updated by just clicking in the task of the day.
Robust and growing platform for planning and managing project
What do you like best about the product?
The interface truly is one of the best parts of the app. The nudges and UX is just fun and memorable. The app offers a wide variety of features and doesn't cost as much as some other tools. The Timeline feature is great for planning larger projects, and the possibility of a proofing and approval functionality is exciting.
What do you dislike about the product?
If there's one thing I really don't like about the tool, it's the fact there's no way to switch a project back and forth between board view (Kanban) and list view.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use this tool to plan, run, and analyze our projects. This includes websites, videos, branding projects and more. It's helped reduce the spinup time for projects by allowing us to create and use project templates.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I'd highly recommend giving Asana a test drive to see if it fits your needs. It's a really robust app and very affordable.
Keeping Projects on Track
What do you like best about the product?
I've always been a list maker. I enjoy the feeling of being able to cross a task off as soon as it's completed. Asana steps up the task completion fun by providing you with a flying unicorn or other creature after a task is completed. Make sure the option is switched on though, otherwise you miss the magic.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana is a great project management tool once you get the hang of it. However, if everyone on your team is not using the program, it doesn't work to it's full capability. Also, I wish it was a little more user friendly. It's a little difficult to navigate when you're a beginner just starting out. Also, those flying magical creatures you see after completing a project, I wish those happened after EVERY completion, not just a few.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've become more organized with my everyday tasks and have managed to reach project deadlines with ease using Asana. Our office has started using the calendar and subtasks feature as well.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Schedule a Asana workshop with your team and really take the time to learn how to use Asana properly. Make sure everyone feels confident when using the program. Switch on the "Show occasional celebrations upon task completion" in your settings. You won't be disappointed.
Asana takes a moment to fully adopt but once you're running it's awesome!
What do you like best about the product?
Dependencies work flawlessly, comments/inbox/alerts are great. Overall, Asana has become the core of operations.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish you could download timeline view into a PDF, you can still share the timeline but it would be great to add to presentations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organization and project management for our clients. Status project and the pillar for our status report meetings.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do it. Asana does take a bit to fully learn (it's packed with features like portfolios, projects, etc) but once you do - and have your company fully adopted... it will be your work wall garden.
A lot of great features even with the free version
What do you like best about the product?
Asana does a great job of keeping me on task. I like getting the reminders each day for the separate work spaces so I can quickly see what I need to accomplish that day. It's also easy to create new projects, separate tasks into sections and assign them to staff.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be great if there was a view that incorporated all work spaces. It is difficult to schedule tasks when you can't see everything at once. I have to keep my calendar open when scheduling to make sure I am not overlapping tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving our task and project management with Asana. The biggest benefit is staying on task, not missing deadlines and managing projects that may be falling behind.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have multiple projects with multiple work spaces you may want to consider alternatives to Asana.
Task Management Simple and Easy
What do you like best about the product?
The best part of this software is how easy it is to create and assign a task to yourself or a colleague
What do you dislike about the product?
In my opinion at times there are more individuals, usually two or three, that are involved in completing a task, yet the program only allows you to assign one person. Wish they would open it up.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Now as a manager I am aware of what my staff is working on and also if they need help to finish a task all they need to do it let me know through the program. This is a great help to me when giving reports to my upper management on specific projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try using the free side first so you can decide if this is a good project management tool.
Help yourself and your employees stay on top of tasks
What do you like best about the product?
I really enjoy this app because I'm most productive when my tasks/job are laid out in one place for me to see. I can update it or make changes any time, and can even create categories for tasks if I want to work on one section at a time.
What do you dislike about the product?
There really isn't much I don't like about Asana.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Employees no longer have the excuse of "I didn't finish that because I didn't know I was supposed to do it" and holds everyone accountable.
Good for a small business
What do you like best about the product?
This project has helped keep our different teams in sync by seeing what goes on from department to department, and where current projects are as far as completion schedules are concerned.
What do you dislike about the product?
Our small business is older and has a tendency to rely on old habits and the mantra "If it's not broken, don't fix it." Transitioning to Asana from the old standard (e-mail) has been a bit of a hassle but we see the benefits long term in using a site like this to help streamline communication in a more organized fashion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Instead of e-mailing questions to one another about project status, we can just login to Asana and get real time updates from different departments. Our waterjet operator has chosen to implement this means of communication and we've already seen great rewards from switching over (and he's much happier not answering a million emails a day!)
Nice product with rich and advance features
What do you like best about the product?
It is a good product that includes all features ranging from basic level .to advance level that are required in products under the category. Also its easy to use for all users. It makes the life easier to a much extent.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although its a nice product , but still it lacks in some areas like there are somethings that can be improved like its UI and UX can be more easier and loading of the pages and navigation among the .different screens in the tool can be made faster.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been using the product for some time in my work place. It has made the life easier and management of the projects and tasks has been much easier.
