Using what the Client Wanted me to use

  • February 22, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It works well for small teams that are new to project tracking/communications platforms. Easy for most to understand. However, there are better packages if you have complex projects with large teams.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can't reply to the alert email - must go into the package to update, respond or message. Not intuitive in use. I don't like the charting/project progress method - as it is not based on a percentage completion but a user deciding it is "complete" or blocked. You need to be very specific with subtask titles, it is easy to get lost if multiple tasks have similar subtask names. The team got confused multiple times with the subtasks, recording changes in the Master Case/Select Vendor (task/subtask) that should have gone to Retail Box/Select Vendor.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing the transfer of a supply chain from Africa to North America.

Limited number of layouts. We can either choose a board or a list. I wish there were more options available.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management. It helps keep track of things on a macro and micro level.

I LOVE this Product!

  • February 21, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I have only used the free version, but it has made projects more streamlined and communication easier. Both organizations I have worked at have used this software and it has helped to keep me on track and is good for content calendars, assigning tasks, and having an overview of what has been completed. There is also a chat feature, but our org uses Salesforce Chatter and G-Chat, so we don't have a need for that feature.
What do you dislike about the product?
Only issue, for paid and free, is you cannot assign a task to multiple people. You can have "followers" but only one user is the task assignee. We made a work-around for this, but that was the only stumbling block.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management, scheduling, approvals of projects/project tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I've only explored the paid product, but the free version is doing great things for us!

Manage Your Tasks And Projects With Asana.

  • February 19, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It provides the best and easiest ways to track projects and tasks. I love the notification options, alerts and comments that really keep us updated. It is very easy to use, in less than an hour you can learn to use all its functionalities, you can create projects in the form of boards to track and create reminders. You can create very detailed checklist templates to copy and paste when you need it. I like the way it allows us to create individual channels even from different computers and allows us to invite each other to respect the group.
What do you dislike about the product?
The platform is a bit heavy, I tried it with an average Internet connection and had to wait long enough for all the dependencies to load.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has worked very well for me, I love it. One of the best things that it offers is to create tasks through email. My team managed to use the free version for almost two years. We upgraded to the paid version only when our team grew and we had to add more people to our workspace. Check the cases of Asana users published in their blogs. There are some really good tips that will make your work with Asana easier. Asana also promotes agile project management and can create a Kanban board for your project if necessary.

Great Project Management Brings Teams Together

  • February 15, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Project view options, from list to kanban board. This takes Todoist and Trello functionalities into one place. I also love the sections within each project, subtasks, easy filtering of due dates, and the Calendar view.
What do you dislike about the product?
None at this time. My team and I started using this program heavily these past two months, so we'll need more time to spot any opportunities of improvement or things we don't like.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We work with exam development, so anytime we deal with new exam launches or exam changes, we undergo many different processes within the functions of each team member to make sure we're following through to complete tasks that move these major projects forward. This has helped the team have one hub to view upcoming exam project launches and progress points utilizing lists, sections and deadlines.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're looking for everyone on your team to be on the same page of several projects and be empowered to carry on with project milestones with clear expectations of ownership and collaborative opportunities, Asana is for you! Using Asana has kept me close with understanding what's on my team's plate and what I have prioritized for me during the day, week, month, and beyond. As an editor in my field of work, I handle small and big projects along with routine and one-off tasks. Asana keeps me in check with the things I need to get done and be able to keep my boss and colleagues informed of the status of these tasks on a daily basis. I think everyone will benefit with being able to wrangle projects on Asana as a team and individually.

Asana is one of the best project management tools in the business

  • February 15, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

Asana is a very intuitive and easy to use project management tool. Creating and managing projects is simple. Collaborating with other employees and departments is amazing easy and is also in real time. Task management and timelines are fantastic tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana does have some issues. Some have argued that it is a little too complex. Sometimes the amount of sub tasks available can be confusing. Also if you are not diligent with checking your inbox you could miss some updates. All and all this is really nit picking.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management, task follow up and collaboration. I have realized that this tool is incredibly useful when tracking orders and creating a sense of accountability between departments.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is an extremely easy to use project management tool. Incredibility intuitive and helps raise the level of accountability. If you management multiple projects or just want to manage your own workload, Asana does it all.

I love this CRM

  • February 15, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love Asana's free features. It allows you to completely add all of your clients/ customers with plenty of information, depending on your needs. I also love the checklist feature where you can add tasks and check them off as you go, while under a specific customer/client- completely customizable. You can also have multiple users working on projects or assignments simultaneously and it auto-updates for everyone. You can also leave notes on each account for the other staff to see.
What do you dislike about the product?
I honestly don't think I've come across anything that I dislike with this program.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This CRM is so user-friendly. You don't need any experience with previous CRMs to be able to implement and use this successfully. It's so customizable too, so any type of business could benefit from it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is the way to go!
