Clean and easy project management system

  • October 20, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's so easy to visualize my tasks and separate them. I love the calendar mode and how easy it is to visualize my schedule. I also love the ways to really personalize it, such as with recurring tasks, subtasks, attachments, comments. It's a pretty amazing system!
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was a better system for subcategories or sections within a project. Such as being able to move sections around within a project or something.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps me stay on track with all sorts of projects without getting overwhelmed. It's also a great way to quickly see what's on my plate each day.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want an easy way to stay on task, Asana is without a doubt the best tool for it. Project management is already hard enough for people, so making it simple makes it easier to execute! It's great for individual work, but also client wok too!

Best project/task management software I've used

  • October 19, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The integration between Asana and Instagantt. It makes resourcing for multiple projects a breeze. Fantastic integration with instagantt and Harvest.
What do you dislike about the product?
The limited permissions, that any user can mark complete and edit dates.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team schedule planning and progress tracking.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A very easy to use and flexible task/project management tool. It has great integrations with other useful software.

Awesome Dashboard and very user friendly

  • October 19, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love the calendar view to see your project and tasks by their due date. Asana also has other ways to view including lists and columns (used like sticky notes). You can easily assign different users to tasks and set due dates. I love how you can keep track of project conversations or add notes/comments to individual tasks. This makes it easy for me to leave feedback or helpful bits of information for my team members. Asana also has a great feature to add files or attachments to a project - I don't believe that it has a version control feature, yet, however, its nice to be able to associate something (like a template) with a project.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish you could assign more than one user to a task - as sometimes i've come across something that is a collaborative effort. I would really make sure to check you email notification settings because it can get spammy very quickly if you have a lot of project updates. Other than that there's nothing that I strongly dislike about Asana, I think it's a really great product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My team uses the calendar to plan our monthly social media content and it is amazing for collaboration. We are able to pull in new company groups (such as human resources) to help share content and make sure that we don't overlap on dates.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This software is amazing for team project management or even for just organizing/scheduling your own workload. The interface is super easy to use and understand and I've had multiple team members say they use it to organize their own tasks, even if they're not involved in a team project using Asana.

It has vastly improved the flow of communication for our team

  • October 19, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
being able to assign tasks to various members. This allows you to give them a physical list of what they are responsible for instead of there being confusion over who is doing what, as well as a visual reminder in there to do list.
What do you dislike about the product?
That subtasks do not automatically disappear when completed the way tasks do. It can get very cluttered very quickly
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Open and constant communication between teams that are spread over multiple locations. We can all be in the loop with what is going on in one place, as opposed to a bunch of emails sprinkled throughout our inbox. All of the related information on an issue is in one spot, in writing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
When first using, I highly recommend a team training on using the software so that everyone is on the same page. It will be very intuitive for some people, but others will struggle and will need some guidance. So long as everyone understands how to use it, and you make allowance for a few weeks to learn efficiency, this software is amazing. I love being able to work from my phone, and their mobile app allows me to do that easily.

Activity Tracking for Teams

  • October 19, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Being able to create custom fields and tags etc. that are unique to our team really set this task manager above others. In addition to that, the calendar view for particular tags helps us keep track of everyone's day, and everyone knows what everyone else is working on. This feature alone is the number one feature in our opinion.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some aspects of the UI.. I wish things were a bit more customizable and I wish I could fit more on my screen at once, possibly from different projects etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has helped me personally to really optimize some of my workflows. It's no longer a question of what I need to do next, I just speed my way through the checklist and I am good to go! It has also helped us tremendously as a team, to assign tasks to others and even generate discussion about what to do next within a particular project.

I love how it keeps me and my team organized and helps us stay on track with other teams.

  • October 19, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like how detailed I can get in my projects and tasks. Love that I can create templates as I use them constantly for replicating similar projects. Reminders and recurring tasks are awesome. Honestly, as a project manager, I'm literally in Asana all day everyday and am so thankful that it keeps me organized and on-track with everything.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do wish that I had some tips or tricks for organizing things a little more. One of the other teams I work with has a LOT of team members and would like to be able to see all project details at a glance, but they have a hard time using the project description because they're usually viewing from a task level, not a project level.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are coordinating about 10 projects per month with lead gen, creative, and development teams and are finding that we have the deliverables we need on time and aren't missing due dates. We also are able to hold people accountable for their work and timelines and keep everything organized and in one place.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It will help keep your teams organized and help you stick to deadlines. I love how easy it is to communicate between teams, assign tasks to specific people, follow-up on past tasks with reminders, and set recurring tasks for things that you do regularly. Make sure to check out tutorials or chat with the Asana support team so that you can familiarize yourself with the interface to get the most out of all the features.

It's very organized and efficient.

  • October 19, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
My favorite part is you can add and take away followers from a project or task, and it keeps your tasks private until you make them public. I like that it's really easy to organize by priority and by date. I like that it says the date until the week of and then says Monday, Tuesday, etc. It really helps me see what I have to do that week and when to not schedule other projects
What do you dislike about the product?
I think what I dislike about Asana is the inbox. I think it's not organized enough and a little all over the place. I think that the calendar should reflect your tasks and the projects that you follow, and maybe stick it in the My Tasks tab. I think the app could really improve because it's much harder than the online version, please make it the same.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I think, with how busy Friendemic is with all it's customers, this helps keep all the clients organized and everything you have to do can be a task. I think we would be a pretty big mess without Asana. My supervisor can see what I'm doing and when something I have to do is due. I like that I can assign and assign a task to anyone that is at Friendemic, it makes for really smooth working.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have a big workload and need to be in communication with everyone's assignments in your workplace, then switch to Asana

A clean and maintained task maintainer tool

  • October 19, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Tagging task,assigning to other team mates.The most amazing feature is creating a sub-task.We can create a task and divide into further tasks and assign it and when all sub-tasks gets complete the task is also completed.
Another amazing feature is Dashboard.You can track your task/tasks,how many you completed and how many are remaining.Asana even send emails if there are due tasks.You can even prioritize your tasks based on tags.You can rearrange your tasks based on project situation(new,progress,review,done).We can even create a new conversion or discussions for particular topic.There is also a way to review your completed tasks in the calendar feature where you can see task detail for particular day.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometime it lags while loading the tagged links.Some great features are restristed to premium version and can be used only by those users.The most annoying thing is someone else can mark as complete the task even though you are the one that worked on it.Also there is a lack of support of office apps such as slack or google drive which our company mostly work on.
There are misleading text on the subtext in bottom such as User marked today.But it was marked 1 year ago.
Files tab is a bit clunky as there is no search option for files or arranging according to type.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We at Hashcube develop casual games for android,ios and facebook platforms.We have more than 2 million users for our hit game sudoku quest which is growing each day.It makes tasks review very easy.Anyone can assign a task to anyone and other can see what they are working on.The feature that is most useful us is project status.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You can take the most out of asana by adding followers to the project/task.Add project/s to the dashboard to track whether the project is heading in right direction or not.Clarify doubt using discussions.Tag team-mates to get better response.

Asana for Workflows

  • October 19, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love how Asana helps to keep my workflow in check, while keeping me in the loop about due dates, and the status of my projects. We never have to worry about missing due dates or updates to mission critical projects. Having the ability to access the Asana app from our mobile devices allows work to continue even while being in the field.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I don't like is the sorting and searching functions. They could be a little more refined, but not a deal breaker by any means.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving the constant issue of employees loosing track of their projects, and managers who are left in the dark when projects have issues or make substantial progress. We are also solving the issue of collaboration for complex projects. We can take the input of all associated parties and combine our resources to make effective business decisions and keep everyone up to date.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is a great platform for workflow management for businesses of any size. When your entire team comes on board with using Asana, you will see an increase in productivity, speed of project implementation, and work efficiency through all departments.
