Good product, roadmap a little unclear
What do you like best about the product?
simple to learn and use (relatively easy to train others), effective task management. User Interface is good, and generally reliable. Any downtime is short lived, and we've never lost any data, or had any security concerns.
What do you dislike about the product?
visible updates/changes too regular, sometimes remove features from my priceplan, try and push me to upgrade too regularly (in my opinion).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
managing complex projects with many tasks to keep track of. Easily categorise tasks, and assign them to other users. Facilitates the design and implementation of simple workflows
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be careful of making extensive use of extraneous features (for example, tags), as they can seemingly be sidelined without much notice.
Asana great project management tool
What do you like best about the product?
We’ve tried many tools in my team and asana was by far the most user friendly one.
What do you dislike about the product?
For some people it takes more effort to go update asana at each step of a project, you need to really show them the effectiveness of the tool for being able to convince them of the use of this project management software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Asana I’m clearly able identify which tasks has been completed!
Helpful for Organizing Tasks and Accountability but Too Much Crossover with Email/Outlook
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoyed Asana's interface, I found it easy to use and intuitive. My manager and I were able set tasks and maintain accountability by showing what has been completed and what is still in progress. If you are trying to avoid numerous emails back and forth regarding progress on a project, this tool is helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
I found that there was too much crossover with my Outlook/Email account. With my team's workflow, I found that it almost felt redundant to have tasks and meetings on my calendar and to be emailing back and forth on projects but also had to maintain the Asana account, it felt like extra work and didn't simplify or clarify my workflow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana clearly defines tasks and allows you to show progress or completion of those tasks. It creates a since of accountability within the team and allows team members to see what was been completed and what needs to be done. Asana allows you to eliminate the email back and forth that can often become confusing depending on how many are on your team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend Asana if you are finding that you need to clarify and define your workflow, maintain accountability within your team and want to eliminate the back and forth between team members that can often become stressful.
Great at tasks, for projects there is room for improvement
What do you like best about the product?
Constant updates and refreshes, inching it ever so much closer to a great task manager and an adequate project management tool
What do you dislike about the product?
Still nascent in the project management arena. Lots of missed potential and seems a bit cobbled together, some updates move it closer to a better platform, others just add confusion. Nowhere are all the features adequately documented. knowledgebase is not ready for prime time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asignation of tasks, small projects, checklists
Complicated and sometimes confusing
What do you like best about the product?
I liked that there are tons of options to make streamlining business easier
What do you dislike about the product?
I did not like that it was really hard to have multiple people from our organization be able to access data
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
At this time there isn’t any exact problems that we are solving yet with asana but we are trying to implement it into our day-to-day operations
Good for managing team projects
What do you like best about the product?
Good project ma management tool and I like how you can assign tasks to individuals
What do you dislike about the product?
I want more report features and I hope it can import from other platforms
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management
Team Assignments
What do you like best about the product?
I like how tasks are built up in to projects using multiple tiers, and I like how the tasks can be assigned to individual people with due dates.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think a GANTT-like project overview option would be useful for discussion with a team
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana really helped flesh an idea out from conception to reality; identifying what tasks will solve the overall project and issues and who will do each portion.
So many options you’ll never get started
What do you like best about the product?
I love the board layout option of Asana. As a person who digests visual information easier than lists, this is a godsend. Great for ideation. You can see everything at once.
What do you dislike about the product?
It’s too easy for tasks to be out of sight, out of mind. Tasks can be so heavily nested that you literally lose them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Writing everything for so you can see it laid out all at once.
It's ok
What do you like best about the product?
I think it's easy to get lost in Asana. Especially since I've used Trello in the past. too many functions for no reason.
What do you dislike about the product?
Too many clicks to get to the desired destination and too many threads to keep up with.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's a way for my team to keep track of assignments but I don't think that it's simple to use.
Easy to use and communicate with employees
What do you like best about the product?
It's relatively easy to figure out, I like the aspect of getting to check off tasks as they're done or assign them to other people. I also think it's helpful to have the comment section on the tasks, so you can add details to other employees or update them in where you are on that particular task.
What do you dislike about the product?
The way that you can share files is a bit disorganized and could use some improvements. It would be helpful to have more of a cloud based system for sharing files.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it at my work as a way to track all of our tasks to do as well as share ongoing documents with others for edits.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's helpful for keeping track of different tasks to do as well as communicating with other employees, and sending ongoing documents.
