Track your project's progress and succeed
What do you like best about the product?
Great interface and good collaboration tools. ASANA sends the appropriate reminders and necessary doc to the team members on a weekly base while also reminds me on a daily basis about my overdue or upcoming tasks. It is nicely integrated with my google calendar and helps me track the progress of our deliverables in every project. I have one platform to collaborate many different teams.
What do you dislike about the product?
Perhaps they could do with slightly improved graphics
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team collaboration, task scheduling and reminding
Great for Organization and Task Management
What do you like best about the product?
I love that you can list everything out. If you're a very organized and detailed person, it's just one huge checklist and you can write as much as you can and modify it as much as you want. If you are very attentive to detail it can be a lot to set up.
What do you dislike about the product?
I personally don't dislike it, as i said, I really like the checklists and the notifications, you can really modify it and receive updates and notifications. I think it's really good for keeping people organized, and to help them understand steps to becoming organized, strategizing/planning.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's helping with overall task management. It does a great job at keeping you organized and working on prioritization.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely have a plan and use it, make sure you're updating it and taking advantage of the features. Really dedicate yourself to being organized.
Conquer the chaos for good
What do you like best about the product?
I'm a creative entrepreneur who works with other creatives. As a group, we don't have the best reputation for being orderly and organized. Asana helps me take the mess in my brain and get it into a format that others can understand and that pushes projects forward.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish you could easily switch between a task list and board list for individual projects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
project management. better organization, more projects being completed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are a creative entrepreneur, the right time to invest in project management is NOW. Asana makes it easy to go from chaos to clarity.
Asana is your all-powerful PM tool!
What do you like best about the product?
I like how Asana is free for small teams, allows us work in multiple "workspaces", allows me to easily create tasks, allows me to assign tasks easily, allows me to move tasks around easily, allows me to capture notes easily, and easily assess everyone's progress. I'm a road warrior, so I love their mobile app too!
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike not being able to move a project from one workspace to another. And I dislike not being able to create "sections" inside the mobile app.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Breaking down projects into manageable tasks, saving notes in one place, and tracking everyone's weekly progress.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Sign up for the trail period and start using immediately! You'll never go back to your old way....
Helps small agencies manage massive projects
What do you like best about the product?
We're a team of 10 and manage over 40+ clients and projects each month. Asana helps us organize every task, assign roles, develop timelines and track progress. Its template feature allows us to map out reoccurring retainers and processes like onboarding.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a great platform, but there's a bit of a learning curve with some employees. We've had to create a training process for it specifically. Once they get the hang of it though, it saves a tremendous amount of time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working with a small team, Asana has really helped our agency scale (while keeping sane). It allows us to keep comments and documents collected within a single project task. We also use labels to locate archived tasks at later dates.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It never hurts to try it out! Be sure and check out Asana's resources. We found them extremely helpful while setting up our reoccurring templates.
Organize, Track, Manage on Asana
What do you like best about the product?
I like it's calendar feature best and checking items off when finished. It is best for use to plan your days accordingly when working.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is not a very collaborative application. It stiffly is for help scheduling and getting approval from boss. We have to travel across a wide variety of platforms to properly collaborate. You can really finalize things here when you need approval and scheduling and tasking yourself but I'd wish for an application that does both the organization and collaborative piece - it feels more like facebook comments rather than using google docs to collaborate and communicate. Possibly them adding in an area where you can work and edit on documents together would work well and make the comment feature a little less chaotic.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's great for scheduling. I use the calendar religiously for looking ahead and seeing what tasks have to be done on certain days and making sure we get things done in a timely fashion. Notifications to the team are quick and will ensure me fast responses when issues arise.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is designed for being task oriented. It is not designed for collaboration - so do not use if you want to be able to use it for both an organization and collaboration function.
Fast & Flexible
What do you like best about the product?
The great thing about Asana is that it can be anything you need it to be. Their platform is extremely easy to use and with a limitless amount of customization, you can find a way to make it work for your business.
What do you dislike about the product?
The downside of being easy to use is that sometimes it's used a little bit too much. Creating a variety of redundant tasks or tasks that are so granular they lose effectiveness can result in lost productivity. Also, it is easy to create tasks within a project and within other tasks which are not assigned to any users and may become "lost" in the Asana ecosphere.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've used Asana to better streamline our development processes for building websites & custom software, managing support ticket requests & internal project management.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
To get the most out of this platform you really need to understand what you're trying to achieve and design a system that works for you. Spend some time beforehand planning out your implementation and it will pay for itself in the long run.
Asana for project management
What do you like best about the product?
It is good to be able to attach documents and copy and paste information sent by email directly in the tasks. I also like that I can clearly see the comment history and know where things have progressed or the status of the project.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some flaws in the functions of the assistance task, but it has improved or we have improved in maintaining a good management of it. I would like there to be a better function of copying and pasting for tasks and assigning them to save time and be more efficient.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has helped our organization to keep the deadlines and task management for the team in order. We used to use Google Docs and this allows us to have a good record of the assigned tasks and the information they contain. You do not have to look in emails to find details.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend this product to all the companies of my colleagues because it has helped our company to be more organized and responsible from the point of view of the administration. We are clearly assigned to the elements and have a history or creation date, and the information can be easily entered into the tasks.
Asana - works collaboratively
What do you like best about the product?
Excellent platform, with which I can manage many projects at once, it allows me to be up to date with the activities, it is very flexible and can be adapted to any work area, it has excellent complements, something that I like very much Asana are its notifications since they let me know when an activity is about to expire.
What do you dislike about the product?
Something I do not like is that its interface is not very customizable, also on occasion and depending on the internet connection it becomes a bit slow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helped me and my colleagues to work more efficiently and quickly, since we focused on the most punctual activities to finish on time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Excellent tool that should not be missing in a work team.
Great for Organization
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is great for organizing your daily/weekly tasks that are time sensitive. We use them for requests from our customers and I can easily tag each task for different programs and with different customers.
What do you dislike about the product?
It could use a better search function, especially when pertaining to contacts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using this to make sure no customer requests fall through the cracks. All the requests I receive are logged and once they are all cleared, I'll know I can move on with something else.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it out with employees that have to juggle a lot of small tasks that can easily fall by the wayside if bombarded.
