We use Asana as a ticketing platform to log issues with our own software.
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a very powerful and easy-to-learn app that I use every day of the work week. Several features are very obvious and easy to implement. I've been impressed with some of the integrations that seem to be built-in to the platform, as I don't ever remember setting them up. They just work. It also has several built-in ways to view your data, including a Kanban board, list view, timeline, etc. You can turn them on or off, and set the one view that you want to use as a default. It allows you to switch between the views to see your data in different ways, depending on what you're trying to accomplish.
The support system has worked well for me and I have received answers to my questions within 1 day.
The support system has worked well for me and I have received answers to my questions within 1 day.
What do you dislike about the product?
It lacks a couple of obvious features that would add much more power to the platform. It also is not completely clear how to accomplish certain tasks within the platform. But the Support system is quite responsive with real-person responses through email.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can easily log and track tickets in several ways, e.g., tags, titles, dates, boards, etc. It's very easy to look up a ticket to see where it is in the workflow. If a ticket has been resolved, the automation of clicking a checkmark and having it automatically moved to the Completed board is great. Several features in Asana make it easy to add additional information about a ticket, such as screenshots of what the logged issue is causing.
Asana provides a good balance of features for teams, individuals, and large organizations.
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ease of use and flow of the application. It's easy to see how projects are tied to each other which is beneficial, especially in big teams.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I wish the notification system was a bit "lighter", that is, being a bit simpler for large teams.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Resourcing, mainly - easy to see who has bandwidth and who does not.
Like it, but could be better
What do you like best about the product?
It's a useful tool to help get everything in one spot.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't love that you can create a Portfolio of Projects, but every Project still shows up on the left-hand toolbar. I'd LOVE to be able to hide the Projects that are within the Portfolio, since the Portfolio already shows up.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's working towards cutting down on emails for projects and allowing everyone to have the same view of where the project is.
Asana makes me wish I had more projects to manage
What do you like best about the product?
As a lifelong checklist devotee, Asana works the same way my brain does. Big projects break down into little steps, different people are assigned to different areas, progress is evaluated, things are given real due dates. It is a great way to think about projects and bring work to life - I learn something every time I put a portfolio or project together. My team loves to collaborate in here because it is so easy and helps us all keep up with progress without having to do a million check ins.
What do you dislike about the product?
I didn't know there was a desktop app until I searched for it. I also wish the mobile app opened up where I left off last time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Asana to solve business problems and work through small projects. It helps me be in better touch with the org and get clear about what my own responsibilities are. It helps me spot problems ahead of time, as I see due dates and unclear tasks, and lets me stay on top of my own work. It also helps me stay on top of work to-dos for random projects that I keep organized in folders, getting it off of my written list (less stuff lost, easier to prioritize, better satisfaction when I finish something). I also use it personally, since this was the plan I set up for learning Asana. What a great system (errands, computer tasks, things to do - I just pick one off when I have a minute)
Great answer to task management as a Sales professional!
What do you like best about the product?
All of the different ways that Asana allows me to organize my workflows, both internally and externally.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish Asana could link to all of my company's systems so that everything I input into Asana is fully visible everywhere else!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping all of my day-to-day tasks organized and managing my outreach follow-ups / training to-dos / project deadlines
I've felt very organized and proactive through Asana.
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to follow a timeline and short deadlines.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be challenging to find tasks I create.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It keeps my team, which is very large, on the same page. It allows us to manage tight tiemlines.

Time Saver
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I can have tasks across multiple projects, that I can collaborate, attach documents / photos and update everyone easily all in the same space.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm struggling with assigning members to the paid account, but also collaborating with those outside of it. I'm hoping to work through this with Asana, but they don't have phone support, so it is a slow, time consuming process.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is solving collaboration efficiency with those in and out of the office.
