Asana helps me organize projects and make lists

  • July 07, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can share lists with team members and make comments and notes about each task. It is also helpful to assign tasks to different people, it makes it easy to work with a team. I like how I can separate and colour code my projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the way the side bar is designed, it makes it difficult to find projects. I also found the free version very limited.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows me to collaborate with others on projects in an organized manner. It is easy to share and invite others to join. I like using the app that helps me stay organized when I am away from my desk.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend Asana to anyone wanting to better organize their projects. I like that there is an app that you can use on the go. And it is good for collaborating with others.

Great for productivity - initial learning curve

  • July 07, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I liked being able to project manage all of my various projects on the go in one place. Being able to upload deliverables within a thread made it a streamlined proccess and cut down on unnecessary internal emails. Also made sure everyone knew what their role was within each project and when they had to complete certain milestones.
What do you dislike about the product?
When I was a new employee and was introduced to Asana I found it overwhelming. It took me a while to understand all of the functions and commit myself to checking in and staying on top of my to-do lists and calendars each day ... perhaps prompts would've helped with this?
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Streamlined communication, centralized doscuments, conversation threads. The best part was cutting down on internal emails.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Commit to making it part of your daily schedule. Make it part of your morning routine when you get to work by checking it just like you would check your email. It will help you hold yourself accountable and maximize your productivity.

What do you like best about the product?
Segmenting, scheduling, and a timeline are all super useful when maximizing efficiency in any workplace.
What do you dislike about the product?
If it had a to-do list which was strictly tasty based that integrated into my calendar, that would be gold.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Projects, events, software, program development. We solve pretty much anything with Asana.
Recommendations to others considering the product:

Great organizational tool with a wide variety of free features.

  • July 07, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Asana provides all of the basic tools that you need to organize a project free of charge. You will find the basic elements you expect to see in a project management tool. Tasks can be setup in a list or card style, and assigned to team members. You can easily create multiple projects for a team. Files can be directly linked to a task, and a files area is available to view all shared files in a single location.
What do you dislike about the product?
The jump from free to paid is steep as it is billed by user. Being a web application is a good thing making asana compatible with almost every device, but the lack of a desktop application is frustrating. Integrations are offered through a wide variety of applications, but usually at an additional cost.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana organizes our team, and allows us to see what one another is working on at the moment. It helps the team achieve their deadlines, and keep our schedules in sync.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for project management with a clean intuitive interface give asana a try. You can fully organize a team using asana, but if you want to integrate with other tools or have asana integrated into another tool be prepared to purchase a premium subscription.

Asana gets projects done!

  • July 06, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I really like the ability to plan out events on the different boards and see what my to do lists are and what needs to get done. I love that I can collaborate with people in real time to see what needs to get done and what has already been completed
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the notifications are good but I am thankful that I can turn them off when they are too much.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We plan major camp events for 600+ kids so there are lots of logistics involved. With Asana, we are able to prioritize our lists and collaborate together to get everything done. It also makes sure we dont forget anything important or let details slip through the cracks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great to plan out events!

Easy to use,

  • July 05, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The platform is very easy to use, yet has some great features to make it more complex with projects. I love how you can have tasks assigned to multiple projects so you don't have to update in two places.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like how it doesn't work with the Slack integration (you get all alerts) and they don't have their own IOS app for my Mac. I had to buy an app (task control) to have it as an app.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We manage all types of projects: New product development, creative, content, images, etc.
