A great tool for collaborative project managers
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Asana uses the PMI standards and the common vocabulary used from project management. Teams with varying level of project management experience are able to quickly get up to speed on the terminology. The task list is great for clarifying specific responsibilities
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana doesn't leave a lot of room for flexibility - especially with projects that are prone to change suddenly in scale or scope.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm often struggling to manage numerous projects at various stages of development with team members that have significantly different levels of involvement. It does a great job of accommodating everyone - from team members that tend to be focused on the granular details of implementation to those that just want to be sure that the project is on track.
Mildly confusing interface
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to create tasks and lists under different categories. The similarities in design to Slack, another common workplace app.
What do you dislike about the product?
How much clicking is necessary to get from task to task. How divided (and therefore small) the screen gets.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am planning large scale multi-week events and projects with my team. It is easy to assign tasks to different colleagues and check in on their progress.
Useful but not necessary
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to set up tasks and goals and to track them. The calendar view is very useful to know when things are due, and lets you get organized easily. It's also easy to have goals checked completed and assign goals and tasks to team members.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not well organized if you have multiple companies and multiple tasks in each company. It works well for single projects, but I need a tool that can help me organize across many projects from different enterprises.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organization and assignment of tasks for each team member. Tracking of milestones and seeing them in a calendar to make sure we complete deadlines is one thing we did accomplish. It also makes it easy to figure out who is doing what and who is responsible for the tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use Trello
Good for tracking action items, categorization/organization could be better
What do you like best about the product?
Quick and easy to create action items, and move them around, assign them, create due dates and reminders, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Labels are for viewing only and items under a label don't actually relate to the label other than visually. That means you can't sort your work queues as things will no longer be categorized by label. Huge disadvantage and makes it difficult to prioritize items overall across different labels.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracking client deliverables, assignments, due dates, etc.
Helpful
What do you like best about the product?
I like how it's easy to use and you never get lost
What do you dislike about the product?
It could be more specific to what I need
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am keeping track of my business' projects and overseeing that they get completed successfully
Good way to share tasks
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to share tasks and checklists with other team members.
What do you dislike about the product?
The whole setup is a bit overkill, with repeated items often created and then these are not so easily destroyed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Needing to share tasks and items with other team members is quick and easy, and the checklists that can be accessed by entire teams is great for accountability.
Works great for project management
What do you like best about the product?
I like how you can view different projects either by a product board, list and how they tie into each other.
What do you dislike about the product?
The subtasks you are able to create can be confusing to some users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
How to manage larger projects and incorporate them/see the bigger picture.
Asana is great for teams - if the team is your main priority.
What do you like best about the product?
The thing I like best about Asana is that it keeps all correspondence in one place. It's easy to check what my teammates are saying and have everything that we need to work on something easily accessible. It's much more time-saving than email and is built with a singular goal in mind which means it's much better at achieving that goal than more general applications like email.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the inbox function, I wish it worked more like an email inbox - showing you new correspondence instead of making you click in to the project to read everything that's happening. I also dislike the layout just a bit. For some reason the dark layout and multiple task bars hasn't quite clicked as enjoyable for me yet. I would prefer to land in my inbox - something with a few highlighted notes and then have the option to hop over to my dashboard if I wanted.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana improves business efficiency by keeping all team players on the same page, cutting down on time sifting through email chains and potentially missing key info.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is great for working remotely as a team. I only work as part of a team for about 10% of my freelance workload, so the admin of asana can be an extra task, but if your full-time job is working on creative or production tasks as a team this is a great tool.
Great for small projects
What do you like best about the product?
Sees tasks in a simple list, easy to manage software for small clients. Great for small storage and due dates/
What do you dislike about the product?
Can't use for more than 10-15 clients. Hard to see the big picture and find tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Simple project management software for agencies to manage their tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Small agencies with less than 20 employees
Useful - For pretty much everything.
What do you like best about the product?
Whether you're a one-man band doing cosmetics, like me, or looking to sort out home organisation or even large scale projects - Asana is where it's at.
Easy to use, multiple layout options!
Easy to use, multiple layout options!
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of customisation, really. It could use with a little more user-specific input and notation spaces.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It really helps with stock management and my production line. It keeps my INCI and formulae centralised.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's ten times better than other similar items - Asana is a really good all-in-one package which doesn't disappoint.
