Best Project Management Software
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing in ASANA is that it is very easy to use. No need to wait to load the open and close subtasks and wait for it to load again. You can just click and you will see all the things you needed. It doesn't slow down the loading time even though the conversation is too long already.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is pricey. The heartbreaking part is when it is very effective to use but the company have to let go using it because we can't afford it as we hire more employees.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The back and forth. It is because you can see the whole task thread easily. Nobody is being left out. We can pass a task from one shift to another without hassle.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
They must avail this if they are really having trouble in tracking tasks. It is also surprisingly effective at clients communications too especially to us who deals with Web Design clients. Every discussion is there, any changes is there as well. So, even if you are about to continue the project that was left by another employee, you will not have any trouble at all. You can just accept the task and do it!
Simple and Easy to Use
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is extremely simple to setup and use. The entire software is built in a very natural way, so the way you are supposed to add tasks into particular areas is extremely intuitive.
What do you dislike about the product?
It lacks a little bit of the complexity that the other apps provide. There is no option to switch between views - List and Board. Would've been great to have that flexibility.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using it to track the progress of my team in multiple locations
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For beginners in the project management space, asana works best. Their app is very simple to use and since its a lean system, the loading time is very less.
Very Interesting Platform for Managing Group Projects
What do you like best about the product?
To me, the user side of Asana mimics facebook, which makes it familiar and intuitive. I like that tasks have threads that you can follow and keep track of who has said what. It has made managing group work very easy for us. The app interface is pretty and I like that!
What do you dislike about the product?
In the app, it can be difficult to navigate around to different tasks (although that might be the way that we have our tasks organized). If I had one suggestion, it would be in the uploading documents. They basically get set as comments, which got confusing when we were uploading multiple edits of the same document. I wish there was some way to see all of the documents that have been uploaded in a different format than the comments.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps project organizers stay on top of what everyone is doing. We use Asana as the platform for organizing and reporting back on a local magazine. Asana makes it easy for our editor to see what's been done and what still needs to be done.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're managing a project that requires a group of people, Asana is very easy to use and keep all of the different tasks organized (from the administrator's perspective). Some of the older people on our team struggled with the interface, especially if it wasn't their "home" task that they were assigned to. However, I think they were able to learn it easily enough- it just wasn't intuitive enough for them.
Good platform to share with team
What do you like best about the product?
I liked the ability to track how progress was being made on each project, which task came next, etc. it was also very helpful to assign tasks and projects to other team members from right inside the platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although it looked good, it wasn’t as visually friendly as a platform like Monday.com. It would be nice if it was a bit more intuitive, and easy to see at a glance what the overall picture looks like.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it for assigning tasks between two interdependent teams. The benefits are the ability to communicate between teams and team mates easily, as well as track progress on projects. We’ve been able to complete more projects, with more ease.
Easy, Fast, Responsive Application that's Easy to Learn/Use
What do you like best about the product?
This is a simple and easy to use application that helps to keep you - and your team - on track/focused/able to meet deadlines. It helps keep you organized and I also like the fact that it integrates seamlessly with Slack.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana can overdue it with the number of emails that it sends. It would be nice to be able to go in and designate either the types of emails or the frequency in which you receive emails.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Most importantly, project management. It has helped to keep me up-to-date/organized, focused on-task, which ends up helping me to meet - if not beat - deadlines.
Not User Friendly
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to collaborate with co-workers. Asana makes it easy to collaborate. I like that you can easily see and filter out which tasks you need to accomplish within a specific timeframe. The one thing that I liked the best was the ability to add a recipient to each task. It was helpful for sorting out who was supposed to be doing what task. Tasks were not overlooked because each task had a person or people assigned to it.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't think the interface is very user friendly. I ultimately did not continue using Asana as it was not as user friendly as I would have liked and it seemed to take too much time to learn than what it is worth. It was useful for the time period we needed it for at the time, but I don't think we will be continuing to use it in the future.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration. Task Management. Time management. Our team benefited from collaboration, task management and time management tools. We were able to successfully track and complete projects and tasks that would have easily been overlooked and forgotten if we had not used the software. We benefited from Asana to complete a large project. The collaboration tools helped us to keep track of who was supposed to do what.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend Asana to anyone who needs assistance with team collaboration and time and task management. Asana is helpful to keep work flowing and time sensitive tasks accomplished.
Great for collaboration and keeping track of projects
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can section out tasks and projects and assign takes to different users. Keeping chats, documents and links all in one place is so great for remote team management.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can be easy to lose information in a long thread and also the tagging of people when writing isn't always automatic (like say, facebook) so if you are not tagged properly in a thread it can be easy to miss messages etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team collaboration from multiple locations. Complex project management. Increase efficiency and communication.
Great for Keeping a Small Team Organized
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can keep track of your own tasks, while being able to see coworker's tasks at a glance. I also like the ease of being able to go back and look at previously completed tasks, and uploading documents for reference. Overall, Asana integrates well with other products we use (i.e. Harvest, Dropbox, etc.)
What do you dislike about the product?
The biggest issue that I've experienced is having no clear way of seeing full projects. It's a frustration that if one deadline moves, everything else has to be manually moved. The start/end dates also are a bit misleading. If we add start dates, the task doesn't show on the top someone's task list until the end date, which at some points may be too late. Instead, it would be helpful if they showed on the start date and stayed at the top until the end date.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before using Asana, the team was using a Google Doc (back when there was only a handful of employees). Now with 18 employees, it's a far better way to manage projects and deadlines. We can easily see how busy each person is, and when they have capacity to fit additional work in.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great for small companies - but still is lacking in some respects (i.e. start dates/end dates), doing bulk changes, etc.
Great Project Management Tool
What do you like best about the product?
I use ASANA to document the timelines and high-level deliverables for my projects. What I love best is that I can share this information with my team and key stakeholders, using a simple visual where I can provide updates and important files during the project's progress.
What do you dislike about the product?
Their timeline feature is not as user-friendly or visually appealing as I would like.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ASANA has helped keep my team on track by reminding them when tasks are due or when updates are required. It's also saved me from having to keep my management team up-to-date on the project's progress as they have access to this information and can see for themselves what we are working on.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a simpler and more agile tool than Microsoft Project. I would highly recommend you test it first with a "small" project before using it for larger endeavors.
Repo Deluxe
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to organize and view repositories.
What do you dislike about the product?
When there are too many items in a repository, it becomes visually overwhelming due to the format of the website.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Asana, we are able to provide shared repositories that all employees are able to view.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's one of the most convenient ways to manage ideas, tasks and projects simultaneously, I strongly recommend using it!
