Keeps me and my team organized

  • July 24, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Asana is so easy to use and it's a breeze to create tasks, assign tasks, reorganize tasks,etc
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike how you can't choose which buttons are the most easily accessible (ie: I never need the link button, but always use the tags button, which is in a different menu)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Some of my coworkers are really disorganized and would try to just remember things they needed to get done, which never worked well. Now that we use Asana though, we have been able to keep everyone on track and organized! This has been a HUGE help to the organization of the company as a whole.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend Asana for anyone in the market. I have even created an additional account with my personal email address that I use for getting tasks done around the house. Asana really helps with everyday life, inside and outside the office!

Asana - Simple yet Robust

  • July 23, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
One thing I love about Asana is the ability to create both boards and outline-oriented list views for tasks and projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish Asana had more features for burn-down charts, budgeting, hours-tracking, Gantt views, and reporting. (To be fair, I only use the free version, so I'm not sure what's available in Premium.)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I currently use Asana for my personal to-do lists, though I have also used it with teams. I love having a place to organize all my data visually with deadlines and assignments.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Stick with it. Once you get past the initial learning curve, it's an amazing product! Watch tutorials to fully leverage its available features!

Project management made easy.

  • July 23, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
What I like most is the design of the application, practically without having used it you never know what you have to do to create a project and follow it up. In addition, the interaction between users is great to be able to work together on the same project in a very interactive way.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing I don't like, this program has pleasantly surprised me and now our company works better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Thanks to Asana the organization of projects in our company begins to work properly, with the management of tasks in the projects and the possibility of adding involved and commenting on updates in the same project, there is no longer a forgotten or delayed task.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend using it because it is totally free, it has payment options that are very interesting, which I would recommend you buy.

It was good but needs more detailing

  • July 22, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Helps to keep your meetings organized and actionable.
Track every step of editorial process, from planning to publication.
With Asana, your marketing team can stay up to date with the product roadmap and launch plans.
What do you dislike about the product?
Limit of projects for team calendar. There are work around but it does become cumbersome.
pricing is climbing quickly, especially for new and multi-team users - no built-in Gantt charts - takes some time to understand who will receive notifications of various activities - would be nice to be able to enter more info about sub-tasks without having to open each pane
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sleek and user friendly interface. Mobile App and offline mode work very well. Love the continued development of new features and integrations. Looking forward to using Asana with Slack once I get the hang of it.
This benefits have helped business especially in mobile app development

what about Asana

  • July 19, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a web application that allows me to communicate directly and quickly with the members of the company and create work teams. The application focuses precisely on improving communication among my colleagues by facilitating the organization and planning of tasks for the progress of the project, developers and our tester team maintain a fluid and constant communication to give priority to errors that we can find in the application
What do you dislike about the product?
I could say that the appearance in general, I would like it to be more friendly and appropriate for my eyes. Something more interactive could be. But despite that, the application has made the work more organized
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It makes it very easy to coordinate tasks with my teammates, the client can validate the progress of tasks and the project in general and facilitates communication with developers to correct bugs
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Although the application is easy to use, I recommend that you see a tutorial and use the support to be able to use this tool 100%

Great for project management

  • July 13, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
One of the best features of Asana is that the free account allows unlimited tasks and projects for up to 15 people. I have the free account and it is perfect to use for tracking my personal professional or home tasks. It's also extremely easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana is more task oriented, if you are looking for project oriented such as tracking budgets, issues, etc., this is not the right software to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I love that I am able to create a group and add people to it, this is a great function for simple to-do projects. Both personally and professionally I am able to track my progress (tasks) on what I am working on.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is a great, free product available to anyone. If you are looking for an easy to use task tracking software, this is the way to go. You can integrate other products as well, I use the Chrome extension for Asana and I connected my Google Drive.

Better Than Most

  • July 13, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Overall I like the layout and color scheme. I prefer Asana to some of the other alternatives out there. I recommend starting with the free version it's a great way to get familiar with everything and you may find it suits your needs just fine.

Asana has tons of features and can really help you and your team stay on track. I like the project Timeline feature which creates an excellent view of the tasks and team members working on them. Creating and assigning new tasks is a breeze. You can also very quickly tell which team member is supposed to be doing what. Assigning a due date will also send automatic reminders to the team member involved. There are also many different view modes to fit your company's specific needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface is not as intuitive as some other options. Some team members struggled to navigate their way around the platform. The slack integration doesn't work. It shows all alerts. Wish you could do more complex sorting for projects such as sort by priority and then date. It won't let you do this. The Gantt Chart can be done a little bit better UI wise, it is too big to follow it properly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Making assign tasks and creating projects easier. The way you can divide the project in tasks and create boards with the tasks make it very easy to visualise the entire project, it really helps to project managers and developers to make the communication easier.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great, especially for smaller business, I find it a bit annoying to do scrum tho.

Asana is the best Company and project managment tool

  • July 13, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Asana is great to organize a comapny and its projects. Great use of Multiable organizations and projects within them. Task tracking is great with comments and task statuses. Ability to switch a project into a board instead of a list is also a massive plus. The intergration with outside tools like git and slack is also a very big plus.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be over complecated and very daunting to new users. If you start a Asana organization from scratch you wont have this problem. But if you are introduced to a slack that has been used for years its can take alot of time to get used to it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is there to solve core issues of our company. We use it for clients ptojects to scope out the work and assign tasks. We also use it to keep track of company polices and accounting. Basically it can store and record every thing you need to do in a company and can be used by every single employee.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
No mater what size company you are then Asana is definatly worth it. Finding a tool that keep track of every inch of you business for projects to polices to recruitment is no easy task. But Asana does that perfectly and I higly recommend it. You do not need the paid version unless you want to have massive teams but in general they allow 15 users per team so its quite big.

Ideal project management for you!!!!

  • July 13, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Asana has great things that make you really love working on it. One of those things is the ease of use. You can add as many tasks as you want, edit them, set the dates, scope, and description of the task, among others. On the other hand, you can not only have them individually but you can add several people to the same project through their emails, and in that way allow establish responsibility for the tasks of the project and send information about the task to those responsible for the tasks, noting how the progress of their work has been.
What do you dislike about the product?
One of the things that I do not like is that at the beginning it is not so easy to use. This facility is taken with experience, but once you know how to use it is super easy. Another thing that I do not like is the fact that the email you receive about the progress of the tasks has very little information about the task. I think I should have the name of the project and the dates set for it at least.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
you really learn to be much more organized with your projects, even with personal things that can become much easier if organized by asana
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend it easily. No matter if you are a student or you are the CEO of a company because there you can easily establish a schedule of how things will happen with respect to the project.

Asasna lets you wade in the shollow end until you're ready to dive into the depths

  • July 13, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Asana is super easy to get started with. It is great for newly forming startups (both companies and teams) because there is a lot of value in shallow understanding of the features, but when you get using the system more heavily there is additional depth.

There are a tone of opportunities for customization and those are easy to understand when you're ready.
What do you dislike about the product?
The customization can also work to make the system more complex. Be wary of adding too many fields as they become burdensome.

When we wanted o have full fidelity of information between Jira and Asana, that was problematic. We also need to have better reporting and the ability to roll up information at the project and program levels.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed something very fast. Something we didn't have to train on and something that was reasonable in terms of expense. We were used it to deploy our solution to customers using a Kan ban on Asana. It worked great on an individual customer basis.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is great if you don't have really intense requirements. There is a ton of integration through apps in their marketplace as well as the larger marketplace. If Asana doesn't have the app, chances are the other side does. It is much better when they both contribute and have a shared integration story.

When think Asana doesn't quite hit they mark, they have a team ready and willing to help you understand how you can accomplish something in the tool. If they don't do it, they were very helpful in terms of recommendations.
