Ease of Asana

  • October 22, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Asana is very easy to use. You can have different teams and projects and also assign certain viewers to them. You assign tasks to which users will be responsible for them and then they receive an email and will input their progress for everyone to see. We used this for weekly and quarterly meetings, special long term projects, and anything else that needs collaboration with several people.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am not a fan of the "consider updating your project" emails that I receive as an administrator. I use one of the same projects year round and just add to it every quarter but Asana sends me emails asking me to consider updating my task. I also don't like the new upgrade they did to the viewing page but it isn't difficult. I just liked the old one better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used this for our Traction L10 meetings and projects. We put the L10 itinerary on there with sub tasks. It helped us keep track of things we have had problems with and also things that we need to do to get things taken care of. With Asana everyone on the team can see what everyone is working on and they can communicate with each other.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a very easy way to help keep track of projects and tasks. It has made my life easier.

4+ years of using, it's evolved nicely

  • October 22, 2019

What do you like best about the product?
Asana has all the features you'd want, but I've never felt overwhelmed or "lost" in the app. New feature releases seem to be folded in nicely as opposed to wide-scale change.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't really have any issues with Asana that would cause me to use it less, to be honest.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Staying organized is the biggest benefit, as we use it to track our weekly exec scrums.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are a team of less than 50 (I've never used it in a larger team), I'd suggest checking out Asana if you have multi-function teams that collaborate on larger projects.

It's pretty easy to use (I don't think I ever got trained on it - I just started using it) and it doesn't overwhelm you like some PM solutions can.

Keeping track of tasks / to-dos and setting reminders to keep myself accountable to them

Asana Has Brought More Transparency to Our Team

  • October 22, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Instead of using a previous interface (another company), Asana's interface allows us to see where our candidates are and at what stage. Based on this, we no longer have to ping fellow recruiters or team leads to get updates.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes when we categorize different folders I find it difficult to locate my candidates (as to which folder they are in). I would like to see a different search bar function that would precisely locate them for me when I type their name in.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Asana to communicate with Hiring Managers and other recruiters as to whether an engineer would be a good fit for the team they hire for. The benefit is that we can see a thread on a specific candidate to see , in real time, what feedback is being given (or which feedback we are still waiting for) and overall we have more transparency and openness.

Ability to organize views by kanban style boards or in lists
What do you dislike about the product?
The organization of tags is a bit tedious.

The ability to assign tasks to other team members and stay updated on velocity is the best aspect.

Asana is great for teams!

  • October 22, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Actually, Asana is not only great for teams, but it is great to use for personal task agendas as well. With Asana, you can assign yourself or a teammate a task. You can even make conditional tasks. For example, say you are the social media manager, but your graphic designer has to make the image that you are going to post online, with Asana you can assign yourself the task of posting the image online but only have that task timeline start for yourself once the graphic designer has marked their task as complete. What's even better is that the graphic designer can store or attach the image that they completed in Asana. You will be notified that they finished your task and you will be able to go in, grab the image and get to work on your task.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike having one more platform to log into. It would be great if Asana was integrated with another tool that I use every day so that way I wouldn't be logging into 5 different tools a day. I also find some of Asana's notification emails to be a bit too much, but I guess that's something I could always change in my notification settings.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have solved the problem of "who said they were going to do this?" We now know who is assigned to do what and by when. This is so very helpful when working on big campaigns and projects with long timelines.
