Nice, easy to use software
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it's easy to add tasks and check them off the list. The interface is visually appealing.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't know a lot about all of the features, so I'm probably not utilizing it to its maximum capabilities. I think if they made that a little easier or maybe a bit more intuitive, I would have a better experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My very small team uses it for our editorial calendar for our news-based intranet. We are now able to easily see what's coming out and what our contractor is working on so we understand the pipeline of stories.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's pretty simple and I would say probably not very robust, so if you're looking for a software that will do detailed timelines and project management, this might not be the one for you.
A powerful tool for teamwork
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about asana is the ease of use and the fact that you can separate large projects into smaller ones and assign them to a group of people.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have anything negative to say about the program.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There are no business problems that I'm solving with Asana.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Have the inbox notifications be sent to our Gmail accounts.
Asana is great for managing team projects or for just keeping yourself organized
What do you like best about the product?
I really enjoy the layout and user experience of the program. Asana does a great job of making it effortless for you to create projects, organize these projects into task, assign these task to other group members, and set deadlines that reveal timelines for the overall project.
What do you dislike about the product?
My only qualm with the platform was the notification and outgoing task settings. Regarding notifications, its really difficult to keep the team from being overwhelmed with email notification for task updates and completions. Regarding ongoing task, it seemed cumbersome to update task completion when task are ongoing, which resulted in task going undated when they were reoccurring
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It really allowed for my team and I to visual project timelines, and to appropriately allocate man power for task completion. I really enjoyed the fact that it was pretty self standing versus something like a slack.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
My recommendation for Asana would be to pair it with something like google drive or dropbox. It is great for organizing projects, but you will still need to house and organize these projects. Other than that Asana is a great stand alone app.
Reliable and user-friendly project management tool
What do you like best about the product?
I find Asana very easy to use. Some of the other project management software I've used isn't terribly easy to navigate but I don't have that problem with Asana. It's literally a list of tasks within a project and you can section them out, make subtasks, assign to coworkers, create due dates, etc. All the basics but in a much more digestible format.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are little things I wish it did, like being able to edit comments or use rich text editing within a task (I often find myself wanting to highlight a piece of important text). It would also be nice to assign a comment to someone or have multiple assignees for a task if it's a collaborative effort.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are extremely task oriented and work in an agile environment. Asana is an easy way to keep all the tasks organized. We also utilize templates, custom tags, and other features. I also like the ability to have an "inbox" so it notifies me when someone comments on a task I'm following, and the messaging within a project for members only. It makes it easy to communicate with a team on a specific project without having to email.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend Asana to others because of its ease of use. It's very digestible and I never have a hard time finding what I need within it. There are, of course, things I wish it would do but the support team is very responsive and helpful. I feel like they do consider new suggestions from users and appreciate feedback so they're always coming out with something to improve upon it.
Asana is Amazing!
What do you like best about the product?
I've been using Asana for over two years now, and it's the best task management system I've used yet. The way you can manage various projects and assign multiple projects to tasks is probably my favorite feature. I really love that you can also use task feeds and add them to your google calendar and other apps like slack.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am a little underwhelmed by the chat or commenting section of Asana as it seems a little cluttered. I feel also that the sub-task feature is a bit confusing to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it every day to write down both business and personal tasks to remember to do. I've had a great peace of mind using this form of task management. The sleek and clean looks keeps all my tasks always at reach and organized.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try List view for most projects. Try sticky note view for only brainstorming tasks.
Great tool for small groups & teams to keep organized
What do you like best about the product?
This is very convenient for scheduling and managing large groups of tasks that span across departments or teams. The calendar feature is also very useful, as is being able to tag projects and organize by importance or level of urgency.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not a lot to dislike, although it would be great if it had more calendar integration in the lower plan levels.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Eliminates (as it claims) the need for massive email threads which copy entire departments or teams.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great tool, start with the free version and go from there! (It's the type of tool that grows on you)
Best Project Manager for the Price
What do you like best about the product?
The customization and tools available in asana are huge and easy to use. the User interface is extremely fast and simple. Setting up Projects and creating tasks fast is really straight forward and fast. You can create tasks in a meeting on the fly easily. And the calendar/ due date feature for tracking overall project length is very handy. I've used it for dozen of web development projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
Creating Labels can sometimes be counter intuitive because you have to remember the correct styles. Also some buttons are hidden until you hover over another button, that seems counter intuitive as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organizing our notes from meetings, and creating agreed upon tasks is way easier in asana than any other software we've used.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asanna is great for project overviews for companies that are looking for a cheaper starting point
Fantastic Project Management Tool - Simple
What do you like best about the product?
Asana allows me to easily organize projects and to assign tasks to my team. I love that I’m always on the top of all of the projects and to keep track of every completed task. This is great tool because it lets us know what is completed and what needs to be done.
What do you dislike about the product?
Difficult to keep track of the sub tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This is perfect project management tool that helps us to organize our projects and to keep the track of the progress. I love that it allows us to easily assign tasks instead of using emails to keep in touch with other members. I love that everything is in one place.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is an amazing tool for everyday management. Project management only works if you implement it.
I really love this platform.
What do you like best about the product?
It makes it really easy to share topics in a timely manner. I used it to pitch ideas before for comedy, and it's really great at helping a whole team come together from across the country. If you're thinking about it, don't! Just go for it!
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't really like how it's difficult to change labels on it. If I could help the dev team with anything, I'd give them that feedback - moving a convo between labels is difficult.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's easy to bring a whole team together through Asana. I have benefitted from it's great refresh rate. It really is responses almost instantaneously, which is important when you're doing timely work.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Really weigh the response time. Lag time is harmful if your work is time sensitive. Mine was, and this was a good solution. Check it out!
Easily Organize Your Work Tasks for Yourself
What do you like best about the product?
Asana was very simple to use; I was able to quickly create tasks and assign them to specific days. I was also able to add specific notes and continuously update the tasks as I progressed with my business.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only confusing items were "projects" vs tasks....it took me quite a while to understand what the difference were between the two.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As an entrepreneur, I want to make sure I am hitting my deadlines, speaking to the clients as promised, as well as remember all the details that went with every appointment. It definitely is a great memory jogger and helps me gain better trust with my clients.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a task software to help you stay accountable to your deadlines as well as keep meticulous notes on events, Asana is a great platform. This is also a great tool to use if you are working a project with multiple people, and you can set sharing properties to collaborate or keep projects private.
