Asana - Best Free Project Management Tool
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to create separate workspaces for each department and project is a huge plus. Also, being able to assign recurring tasks and set due times for each task is fantastic.
What do you dislike about the product?
Free version does not allow for custom permissions for certain users. There is also no page for full management of the entire organization including all workspaces and projects created by all users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has sped up the project management process and communication with the business and clients. It allows us to review and edit technical and business specs all in one place.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Absolutely recommend Asana if you are looking for a free project management tool for high to mid level tasks management.
Even the free version is great!
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to not only assign tasks from the platform, but also email tasks directly to the platform or set up zapier tasks to create tasks in the system. The calendar feature is awesome and the platform is so easy to use. It gives the ability to both create checklists of tasks or a post on a board to track and organize tasks - so you can modify your management to however your employees work best. Plus, you can set vacation time on your account so you aren't assigned a due date for when you'll be out of office - brilliant!
What do you dislike about the product?
That there are a lot of cool features I miss out on because we don't want to pay to upgrade to Premium. For the free version, you really get to do a lot. We don't have access to timelines, templates and priority settings but if we upgraded, Asana would definitely prove to be that much more powerful for us.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organizing our major projects into manageable chunks. Getting our team on the same page and managing workloads and timelines properly.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have a large team that needs to organize tasks, definitely go with Asana. It's so easy to use and it's very inexpensive. Even the free version helps us take care of everything we need!
I love asana!
What do you like best about the product?
I like the layout, how easy it is to make tasks and the customizable features!
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't love that it doesn't sort your tasks by default. I would prefer it automatically show me tasks in order of due date, and then provide the filters to change that view.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing my team and keeping track of small tasks that can't be forgotten!
Asana Review
What do you like best about the product?
It makes my life, and that of my team, easier with the ability to keep all of our individual and group tasks and projects in one place and easy to manage. It is very user friendly and keeps us all on the same page.
What do you dislike about the product?
At this point, there is not much I dislike about Asana in it's web form. The app could use some improvement, as it seems slightly less user friendly and could use some offline support.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were having issues with communication across departments, which was causing issues. With the help of Asana, our communication as an organization is improving, as we are able to assign tasks to those in other departments and are able to are able to work together better on moving toward success in our projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a great product for team project collaboration, brainstorming, and personal task lists.
Asana for team project tracking
What do you like best about the product?
Best features are ability to track multiple team members' progress, deliverables by due date and use of fun themes.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are limited views but overall the traditional view by project and sub task works well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps curb the amount of email clutter I get. I like the instant check-ins on project status and the seamless view between desktop and android phone.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it, load in your proje ts and track all the details from small to big.
Asana Boosts Accountability and Productivity
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to customize it to fit how your organization works. I also think the training, both in terms of video tutorials and live webinars, is incredibly helpful. These resources also help increase buy-in from new users being asked to integrate Asana into their workflow. Asana is extremely powerful and, as you get deeper into it, it can provide a whole host of integrated solutions for project management. That said, none of the "bells and whistles" are required to get started. It can be used in its most basic level, which is extremely intuitive, and still have a huge impact on order and oversignt.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much. Possibly the limitations on adding outside contractors without buying additional licenses.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have dramatically increased accountability and project management since adopting Asana. In addition, we have eliminated a lot of pointless emails by having all communication live within a task or project. This has also reduced the number of meetings we need to have to get everyone "on the same page."
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it and be sure to use the training resources to get others on board. Side note: your site won't let me upload the screenshot to confirm so you can download it here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/m4wrqg7bcr8n818/asana.jpg?dl=0
Great collaboration for a team!
What do you like best about the product?
Great way to collaborate, task out projects and see timeline/calendar all in one place. Our team works remotely often so we rarely have the ability to all jump into a conference room. This serves as a way for us to stay connected and know what our team members are doing, see the calendar, know progress and status made on a project.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can be overwhelming to get set-up on a project and get everything entered in.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management without having a designated project manager on our team.
Keeps me organized and on track
What do you like best about the product?
I like that there are many ways to be able to see and organize your tasks. I also like the ability to use tags to be able to filter different tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that once you have a lot of tasks for different projects it is very difficult to keep track.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving communication issues, huge overload of work issues and the necessity to separate and keep track of all of our projects and brands.
Asana, Now or Never
What do you like best about the product?
It is simple, structured to navigate easily, and vibrant in colors. It is a great way to keep business organized.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can get a bit messy, and sometimes I notice that my newest project added will appear at the bottom of long lists and I will have to drag it all the way back up.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving internal problems that deal with projects. It is beneficial to use Asana in that all projects are in one place and organized nicely for any user to use.
Great product - a bit too robust for our needs
What do you like best about the product?
I liked how easy it was to set things up. It was fairly intuitive to set up. Its main features are pretty good. They are trying to set up a KanBan board which it's quite up to snuff, but their core product is solid.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a lot of information that you can put on each task within the projects, but you cannot decide which pieces of information you can display on the task list view. In their attempt to keep things "Clean and simple" they force you to drill down deeper to see the info you really want.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was using it mostly for task management. I work on many small projects, nothing big enough to deserve a gant chart, but there are many multi-day projects that can easily get disorganized and lost.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would stick with their core products for now. They are moving into creating Kan Ban style project management - it's still a little clunky, but I'm sure they will make it as good as the rest of their product. They give you quite a bit of functionality with their Free, not time limit offer, it's an easy way to test it and see how it works and if it works for your team. Set up it fairly quick and intuitive.
