Asana makes our lives so much easier!
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy it is to create a project with tasks & sub-tasks. This makes it easier to track, assign tasks, and visually see the flow of everything that has ever been done. Emoji integration & the application is also very helpful for keeping motivation up as well as staying connected at all times.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike how difficult it is have to click "Load more" when there are many tasks created within a task. Formatting (bullet lists, tables, etc) within the Text Area also has room for improvement to be able to past in more advanced content such as a table for example.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have solved the problem of not knowing who has done what when it comes to project managers assigning tasks. We now can hold responsibility as far as who has completed what work and who has assigned the correct or incorrect tasks. We are also able to hold accountability based on how long it takes to complete tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana works excellent if you need a simple task management system that integrates with many other platforms and is extremely easy to use.
More updates with my colleagues in an easy way
What do you like best about the product?
As a product designer, it's really practical being in touch with my boss and collegues for my projects updates, in real time getting rid of many emails.
What do you dislike about the product?
Actually I'm not having any problem with it, it's just a little hard to start it with people hard to convince on using new approaches.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In my product design process is helping me a lot reminding all tasks to me and my collegues. And thanks to Instagantt my new approach to the Gantt is more user friendly.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try and then you'll see more and more people will join it. Thanks to manuals and how to videos, there's a lot of material for getting started. Now since my team is getting bigger very soon I'll go for the Premium subscription.
This task management tool has helped me revolutionize my to-do lists and prioritize better.
What do you like best about the product?
I love user interface. It is so easy to use and allows me to quickly add tasks when I think of them, then add due dates or assign to others at that time or when I have time later.
What do you dislike about the product?
The app is a little more difficult to use. I would like to be able to check off tasks right from the main task screen, and have the undo option like there is on the desktop version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am solving the issue of being bombarded with tasks every day through email, conversation, and my own personal work. Before Asana, I never found a system that would help me organize these requests so quickly and easily. Now, my coworkers and I can assign things to ourselves or each other and collaborate on projects.
Pleasant to use, great for task managing with few drawbacks
What do you like best about the product?
Clean, understandable interface, tasks are arranged in a logical order. Project collaboration is a beautiful thing to witness
What do you dislike about the product?
Projects can disappear with a few wrong clicks, mistakenly completed tasks can get separated from the parent project topic
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeps everyone on the same page to say the least. I dont know what we'd do without it
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make use of the templates they will save your life!
Asana provides great assistance for our team to help project manage.
What do you like best about the product?
What helps our team the best, is how easy it is to create, schedule, and assign tasks without having an in-person meeting. Half of our team is remote, so this is extremely important to us. Templates are extremely important to us since a lot of our projects repeat. We can create a master task list and we copy it over every week! I think we would get very frustrated with the product if it didn't have that.
What do you dislike about the product?
My team has a hard time getting on board with asana 100%. The biggest factor for them, is they don't like how you can "complete" and check off a task, but then it goes away from your task list. I have explained the calendar view and how to add tags to make the search functionality better, but it isn't sticking. Possibly having a "completed tasks" bank on the right or something might help them?
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Asana for project management to keep track of deadlines and who is working on what. I personally benefit the calendar view, for when I am away from the office, I can see what the whole team is working on this week so I can jump in on any project if my tasks list is light.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The newest HUGE features I have seen in Asana that I have seen are team communication tab and the dashboard. Both of those features we don't even touch.
Project Management that can function for a wide range of industries
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ability to assign tasks to my teammates without having to write out separate emails. I can make note within the task and assign it in a flash!
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing right now! If it could just complete the tasks for me :)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We lost an employee and added asana. We are down a person, but increasing productivity. It's an amazing tool for scheduling and managing tasks//projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use the modules and learn all of the functions that you wouldn't automatically go to! Taking the time to watch the videos and read through the help blogs allowed us to fully maximize our use of the software. And work with someone on the support team to help brainstorm how to structure your asana as well as you can. It's a versatile software.
I Can't Get Through My Day to Day without Asana
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is simple, easy to use, and great for collaboration or just getting your own projects organized. If you're a small team, it has the power to do everything you need it to do for a really great price.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing at this point. We've used other task management software before and this has definitely met all our needs, was easy to implement, and is user-friendly even for those that aren't super tech savvy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our company is all remote workers, sometimes it hard to know where everyone is in the phase of a project. We needed a better way to not only get organized but see what our team members were working on. This solved all of that.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Not sure it's the perfect choice for full project management. The subtasks and conversations can be a bit clunky, however for independent employees that collaborate infrequently, it's the perfect task management tool.
Works wonders for keeping our list of service calls organized
What do you like best about the product?
I use Asana for various personal tasks, but my favourite part is the new boards functionality. I use this to organize our various service calls (equipment maintenance), moving them through various stages from quoting to invoiced/followup.
What do you dislike about the product?
The boards features are still very new, so looking forward to additional filtering capabilities (e.g. filter by tag).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps us to know what the most important jobs are at any given moment, what stage they are in, and how to move them forward.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it. You'll (probably) love it.
Love Asana - keeps me on track!
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Asana is awesome in planning out projects and assigning others to the task. It makes it so easy to have a template and then reuse it for other projects again and again. Thanks to asana I am always on top of my tasks!
What do you dislike about the product?
I think it would be nice to have a better way of managing the groups I am in. Perhaps a control panel under Settings. Also I dislike how difficult it is to unsync my calendar (specifically my i.cal). It'd be great to one day have a support team I can call at Asana instead of just emailing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's hard for us to always remember our SOPs but having them in Asana under templates makes it 10x easier to follow through.
Effective Organizational tool
What do you like best about the product?
Asana helps me keep the important things in front of me, and keeps me focused. It is very useful for small businesses to keep things together. I like the way you can link documents into the to dos. Keeps everything in one place.
What do you dislike about the product?
You have to choose the boards or the to do list organization from the start. It would be nice if you could experiment with one or the other, but that functionality is not there at present.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been able to keep my numerous projects moving. It has helped me be much more organized than I would otherwise be. I have many projects in different areas and I can keep them all under the same roof with Asana.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look online for tutorials and think from an administrative level about how you will organize the use of Asana before you start.
