Good project management but limited functionality

  • September 07, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Asana was the first project management tool we tried. It is good and would be great for an individual or small business. It is very simple to learn and use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Time tracking integrations are limited, the general functionalities are limited. There isn't a built-in chat function which competitors have.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Saving time and improving the efficiency of work which it was great at until we needed to scale more.

Asana helps our team come together to accomplish our goals

  • September 07, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Asana keeps all of my tasks, files, and content all in one place so I that I can work with other team members by assigning tasks. I've used other task managers before, but Asana is the best for how it lays out your tasks and the options it allows you in order to cater your setup to your operation.
What do you dislike about the product?
While it is incredibly intuitive, some options could use a drag and drop feature or automation features such as duplicating tasks to each project or auto assigning to team members.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is helping me to clearly delegate tasks to members of my team, set goals, and actually achieve them. The benefits of clearly listing out each step to achieve your business goal, and utilizing a framework to clearly communicate how you are going to go about achieving them is crucially important for our business.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be sure to learn the app inside and out. There are a ton of features, and you might be missing out on things that could help improve the quality of your work!

Great team organization software with some weird navigation issues

  • September 07, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Asana is updates instantly if someone comments you will see it as soon as it's posted without a reload! It's pretty neat 😁
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface itself gets confusing or you question why something doesn't do what you expect to happen when clicked. (Perfect example is a sub task click edits the title instead of opening the issue...)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Marketing agency projects, Asana helps keep the whole team together and on task. It's a central source for information!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great software and besides some funky navigation the software is great and does exactly what is needed without any fuss.

A great tool for power users & teams

  • September 07, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Asana is undoubtedly the SPEED. Everything works real-time & always in sync between all teams and users. The actions and update get saved really quickly and its just a great experience overall.
What do you dislike about the product?
The tool itself is a bit complicated for someone starting out. The tutorial and step-by-step guides are also not very helpful as they talk about lots of stuff in one go. I would recommend a simpler approach towards getting users enrolled into how powerful Asana is and what it can do from a dashboard/home page.. and gradually user can enter into various parts of the tool and learn about it only then.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are primarily using Asana to track bugs & feature requests in form of various projects and lists. The sub-task option in the lists are quite helpful too. And the powerful search does not let anything get lost easily.

Good but not great

  • September 07, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easy to learn and navigate; love the subtasks option and calendar view! Love the integrations with slack, Dropbox, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Disappointing that a project management tool doesn't come with task dependencies that actually flow together without requiring the purchase of third-party add ons (flosana)... Also disappointing that you can't set monthly recurring tasks to avoid weekends. Overall it has some great functionality but is lacking some pretty basic project management features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's enabled our team to collaborate much more effectively from our various physical locations and has reduced the energy we need to expend to prevent tasks from falling through the cracks.

Asana, useful but not my type of tool

  • September 07, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the collaboration features and the ability to create a check list and check of tasks
What do you dislike about the product?
It takes too much time and effort to set up, integration to other apps is hard seems like an extra tool to manage
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has helped my team organize, and keep track of multiple projects, it has also helped break down tasks
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use it if you like spending time organizing

With Asana you get your work done.

What do you like best about the product?
Charming tool for project management.
Great for remote jobs.
Lovely user interface, with very intuitive menus and settings. You don't waste time trying to handle this tool.
You don't have to download anything, neither plugins nor other programs, since, the platform is cloud based. Convenient mobile app.
You can create quick tasks and assign them to members of your team. User friendly actions, such as attaching files, assign sub tasks, add annotations, etc.
Easy use of the calendar so tasks are done on time.
It is the only project management platform that allows you to change the prioritization of tasks in a certain time to obtain a better workflow.
What do you dislike about the product?
The price for unique features is a bit high. The price increases a lot when more seats are added
Laggy in low-income computers and with large projects.
Slow customer service for non-premium users.
Sometimes it is difficult to recognize the tags and they interfere with the groupings.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is easier to manage projects than through conventional means of conferences or joint meetings. This, above all, in large work groups. We solved the problem of team communication, in which there were confusing situations between coworkers. Deadlines are best scheduled. Remote work is more bearable. We are still testing this product.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
With Asana, due dates become easier to arrive with work already done. The administration of the work of each of the project members becomes clearer, and there are no problems with the completion of the project. Your coworkers can assign you tasks while you look for your time to do them.

  • September 06, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Like that there are multiple views for a project(list vs cards). Also like features like portfolios and timelines.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the features aren’t as easy to use or robust as I would hope for. For example, there is no easy way to add a project to your portfolio right from your task list.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Able to manage multiple team members across multiple departments and everyone is able to monitor project progress.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great for small to large teams. Can be as robust or simple as you need it to be.

Decent features, UI could be better

  • September 06, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The card concept, along with the ability to add details.
What do you dislike about the product?
Hard to add two people to a task. UI could be more intuitive. Tracking of task status is not the best either.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project task breakdown and assignment. Good for doing stand-up reviews of projects. Helps to know who is doing what and what lies ahead.
