Great Task Software
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can drag and drop in files. Makes it easy. You do not need to go researching opening, etc. You can simply drag and drop right into your task and makes it easy for everyone to find.
What do you dislike about the product?
I hate how you can't mark items urgent or low priority. This would make it easier as projects make come in and they sometimes need to be worked on asap.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
That is it centralized and can be utilized in many different aspects of the business.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it! It is a fun system.
Asana: Perfect for Digital Filing Needs
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is amazing because it can keep all of your digital paperwork in an organized manner per project.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana is a strong application that is organized but at times could do better in it's organization of it's calendars and sections within a project
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I know where all the paperwork for every project is and know I can rely on it if I ever need to go back and find anything
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's very good about keeping files organized and searchable. The amount of tabs can get overwhelming if not maintained well
Simple and Flexible
What do you like best about the product?
Asana's shining characteristic is its balance between ease of getting started and your ability to flexibly adopt features as and when you like.
What do you dislike about the product?
The distinction between list projects and board projects feels artificial and unnecessary. It seems like they should be different views of the same data. The distinction makes the workflow slightly janky if you want to move a task between different between projects of different kinds.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Task management, project management, team collaboration.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You can use Asana as a simple shopping list of tasks, or you can use it as an enterprise-level management tool. This flexibility creates a danger: it is easy for the list of tasks to become a forest of forgotten ideas and dead projects. Go in with a plan.
User Friendly
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to use. Easy to create tasks, and helpful when you have recurring tasks that your need to get done every week. A great way to keep things organized and helps you not forget anything.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not as helpful for tasks that only happen once. It's still ok, but more ideal for recurring tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps managers see what has been completed and helps me keep on tasks.
Great Task / Project Management Software
What do you like best about the product?
Asana helps all members of the team stay connected, on track, and on target. It also has a very nice integrated feature with Instagantt for those project managers that like to use Gantt charts to keep their team focused on common goals, identify critical path items, bottlenecks, and capacities.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was a better way to notify everyone of their tasks other than a push notification or an email. I'm not sure what the answer is, but the accountability still needs to be handled from without.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Prior to using, the team was disjointed and following shiny object syndrome. Now, we have a plan in place that everyone can follow. It also provides more transparency.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It will help with task management and some of the accountability, but overall project management and oversight will be up to the users and leaders in the organization.
1 man Asana team
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to organize my thoughts and plans in a clear fashion.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there were more options on how to visualize your tasks. Right now theres only the board view or list view.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using it as a project management organizer. The rest of my team doesn't use it, but I use it to track things on the back end and visualize and time out events.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I want more options on how to visualize tasks in Asana. Right now there's only the board view or list view. I would want something like a task tree where you can easily link and see how one tasks depends on 3 others and each of those on 3 other tasks, etc.
Asana keeps remote teams on-track
What do you like best about the product?
Calendar of tasks with color codes! Ability to create multiple projects and assign tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can’t think of anything I dislike about the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We work with several contractors on the opposite coast, so Asana solves “after hours” communication
Asana is great to keep projects organized, but not that user-friendly in my experience
What do you like best about the product?
I like how you can create tasks and projects for certain teams. This is helpful for us since we can give our Product and Dev team deadlines and prioritize tasks. I am not a current user anymore since I am not the in the team that handles asana anymore, but that is what I really liked about it. It is still very useful for use as we now log tasks for our Product team to get detailed information about our product -- that way we can add it to our wiki.
What do you dislike about the product?
Looks good, but it is still not that user-friendly. Especially on comments. When I first started using it, it was a bit hard to locate where exactly I should place my comment. Another example is that I would get an email saying that a colleague commented on a task, so I logged in and could not easily find it. Like there's no notification whatsoever or easy link access.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keep our Product and Dev team organized with their projects/tasks
Recommendations to others considering the product:
great software, not sure if they have any competitors but I suggest looking to see what other options you have. Or request a trial first to see if it's easy to use for your users.
A great tool for organizing projects
What do you like best about the product?
Asana allows me to assign tasks to my team and the Simple UI offered by the app helps me stay on top of it. With an effective way to prioritize the tasks listed, Asana helps me in havin a 50000 ft level view of my tasks along with letting me keeping an eye on intricacies of those tasks as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's hard to keep track of sub-tasks within the tasks created. Also, if I delete a task(s) accidentally, it's hard to retain the deleted tasks. It took me quite some time to recover the tasks....gave me quite a scare!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has helped me manage daily tasks with my team. I handle multiple projects within my organization with multiple team members. Asana helps me by providing a summary of the tasks that I've assigned to my team members and lets me get a quick view on their statuses.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana easily fits into your day in managing tasks with your team members who're working in an Agile environment. It helps in managing user stories and provides a well sorted view with respect to project or status of the task
One of the Best Apps in our Business.
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has overhauled the way our business works. We have complete transparency across our entire team on every single task or project we need to manage. Each Team Member begins their day by opening Asana Whether it be our daily lunch orders or the management of our entire client base and their many jobs, this system is indispensable. Asana has given us the tools to allow a significant reduction in email and provides a complete work history. Every action, comment, mention or file relating to a task or project is documented and accessible via the powerful search feature. Asana makes getting stuff done easier. It has increased our capacity and it has helped our accounting firm become 100% cloud first.
What do you dislike about the product?
We can have many tasks categorized under one , rather than making a new task for every new employee , even when the task is same. I would like to see more pricing options in asana according to team size.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are getting our deadlines meet by Asana and assigning tasks to employees keeping a track of them. We also have prioritised the tasks with it's help to get know what we need first and what can wait. We are achieving a responsible behavior in employees with Asana
