Asana makes our lives so much easier!
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy it is to create a project with tasks & sub-tasks. This makes it easier to track, assign tasks, and visually see the flow of everything that has ever been done. Emoji integration & the application is also very helpful for keeping motivation up as well as staying connected at all times.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike how difficult it is have to click "Load more" when there are many tasks created within a task. Formatting (bullet lists, tables, etc) within the Text Area also has room for improvement to be able to past in more advanced content such as a table for example.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have solved the problem of not knowing who has done what when it comes to project managers assigning tasks. We now can hold responsibility as far as who has completed what work and who has assigned the correct or incorrect tasks. We are also able to hold accountability based on how long it takes to complete tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana works excellent if you need a simple task management system that integrates with many other platforms and is extremely easy to use.
More updates with my colleagues in an easy way
What do you like best about the product?
As a product designer, it's really practical being in touch with my boss and collegues for my projects updates, in real time getting rid of many emails.
What do you dislike about the product?
Actually I'm not having any problem with it, it's just a little hard to start it with people hard to convince on using new approaches.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In my product design process is helping me a lot reminding all tasks to me and my collegues. And thanks to Instagantt my new approach to the Gantt is more user friendly.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try and then you'll see more and more people will join it. Thanks to manuals and how to videos, there's a lot of material for getting started. Now since my team is getting bigger very soon I'll go for the Premium subscription.
Pleasant to use, great for task managing with few drawbacks
What do you like best about the product?
Clean, understandable interface, tasks are arranged in a logical order. Project collaboration is a beautiful thing to witness
What do you dislike about the product?
Projects can disappear with a few wrong clicks, mistakenly completed tasks can get separated from the parent project topic
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeps everyone on the same page to say the least. I dont know what we'd do without it
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make use of the templates they will save your life!
Works wonders for keeping our list of service calls organized
What do you like best about the product?
I use Asana for various personal tasks, but my favourite part is the new boards functionality. I use this to organize our various service calls (equipment maintenance), moving them through various stages from quoting to invoiced/followup.
What do you dislike about the product?
The boards features are still very new, so looking forward to additional filtering capabilities (e.g. filter by tag).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps us to know what the most important jobs are at any given moment, what stage they are in, and how to move them forward.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it. You'll (probably) love it.
Asana Works Great for Simple Database Usage
What do you like best about the product?
I use Asana for a small side business that I run. It helps me to track current clients, former clients, potential clients, and track communications with all of them. Additionally it provides a simple platform to collect contact information, set reminders, etc. I use the free account, but it offers all of the features I need for the simple nature of the business I use it for.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I dislike is that the mobile app doesn't always communicate flawlessly with the desktop version. It seems to have a few glitches, but those seem to occur less and less over time. I do believe the company is working to fix these issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am currently using Asana as a small database for my business. It allows me to track conversations, contact information, and create queues of those I need to connect with, including past, present, and potential clients.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are running a small to medium sized business and are looking for a cost-effective solution to your database needs, check out this product. It is simple, easy to use, accessible across devices, and allows you to easily access stored information. I use this software to track conversations and contact information, to create to-do lists of past, present, and potential clients I want to connect with, and to track other business activities. This software is a time-saver for me for sure! I am grateful for the free version of this as well.
One of the best project management tools out there
What do you like best about the product?
Using Asana for many years and on multiple projects in various organizations (and personal), I can really recommend Asana as project management tool. It's not your all- in-one tool, but the simplicity makes the technology disappear so that you can focus on the work. If you need some more functionality, the integrations with other services work great.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the limited feature-set is concerning, because you have to pay another company again for more features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All project management and remote working team management.
Asana for commercial cleaning
What do you like best about the product?
Asana gives us the ability to communicate with all levels of management. It allows us to find new and interesting ways to solve problems
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the structure of the projects can get a little confusing for newer users. Generally after a little bit of training and time using the product it gets easier
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has allowed us to affectively manage the projects that we have on a day-to-day basis. Instead of things getting lost in translation. Instead of things being forgot about. We have everything in one place
Good app for project management
What do you like best about the product?
Good for project management but not as seamless and funny to use as a MeisterTask or with as many powerups as Trello. Asana is generally used by a lot of my suppliers and that is why I use it. It has grown in terms of user functionalities and design and it is now much better. You can create projects, tasks, tasks groups, etc. You can do all kind of things inside the tasks such as attach documents, comment, set dates, responsible persons, tags, etc. The iOS app is a great app and you can do everything on the app that you can on the web. You also have a great calender view.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lacks the kanban board and the sexy and fun CX. Lacks also the Gantt chart view. It is not so fun to use as Meistertask and Trello.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To manage all kind of Projects with partners and clients. Generraly I'm invited to use the app by a supplier or client and I manage the entire project through the app. So that way you don't have to send e-mails or messages or call, you do everything on the app and that way it is easy to see the project satus and the tasks status. Also every comment and document of the project is easely find within the app on a search functionality. You can invite others to joint the project, give them tasks, etc. Is a great way to do it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You should give it a try. also consider MeisterTask and Trello
Asana keeps me sane
What do you like best about the product?
Asana keeps my life organized. Asana allows me to keep my work organized. What's great is that not only am I organized I can keep my clients organized as well. It's a no pressure way of reminding your clients what they need to do and they can see what you have been doing too.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the different views confusing. Sometimes finding your projects between the different tabs is slightly difficult.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is a great way to keep all my Clients organized.
Lots of features but I don't feel more organized
What do you like best about the product?
Asana makes it possible to collaborate with others -- to have shared to-do lists and events with all my co-workers so that we can coordinate within our team and across various teams in order to make projects happen. I like the way it's possible to create different projects and dashboards and to assign tasks to specific individuals.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's difficult to add another site/login to my daily work process -- I find that I still jot things down on post-its or use my calendar application to keep track of things I need to do, instead of putting them in Asana. It's also difficult to track where things are in a process or to schedule the order in which things need to happen. Also, it's possible to assign things to someone, but they don't necessarily have to acknowledge/accept that the tasks were assigned.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're solving the problem of multiple people working on the same issue without coordinating. Benefits include less duplication of work responsibilities and fewer conversations about "has anyone thought of x" or "has y been addressed." It's easy to find invoices, documents, and materials related to a particular project.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend you evaluate what existing productivity tools you're using, and determine whether it's better to invest more in those (or upgrade to more elaborate versions of them), or to add another tool instead -- in which case you may want to divest from some of your current business practices.
