Unnecessary Task Management
What do you like best about the product?
I haven't really found a lot that Asana is actually useful for.
What do you dislike about the product?
It tries to replace task management with software. I don't know if this is good.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My workplace has Asana, but it is not very efficient at tasks.
The program just didn't work for our small team
What do you like best about the product?
The design and overall look of the program is great. It's sleek, clean and well thought out. it seemed easy enough to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
For our small team, it was almost more work to track the work than to just have our own to do lists. By the time we input the data to track things we could have completed certain tasks. It just wasnt worth our time while we used it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were trying to get our team all on the same page and have a visual representation of the work that needed to be done. Asana gives you a way of tracking that, but we realized we weren't ready to use the program to that level yet.
It's great for teams that have several steps for process
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can organize tasks and assign new tasks to coworkers. It was a good way to track other's progress.
What do you dislike about the product?
It doesn't seem to be as intuitive as I had originally thought
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When there are tasks that take a long time to complete having the tasks spread out and completion reminders is helpful, but we found that it wasn't the best fit for our team. When using it new tasks would come up and it just wasn't the best form of communication for us.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Educate yourself on how to use it first. We didn't do a lot of research before using it and I'm sure that we missed out on some of the better features of Asana out of ignorance
Still didn’t understand it unfortunately
What do you like best about the product?
The colors of the website and style in general. Cool logo
What do you dislike about the product?
Almost everything. It’s really complicated
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To complicated, to many categories, to much notifications
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You have to spend time to understand it
Meh
What do you like best about the product?
Streamlined communication platform allowing for easy comms
What do you dislike about the product?
UX Is a nightmare to track properly across a team
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communication
Useful if actually used by supervisors
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate that tasks can be assigned remotely and all relevant information about the task can be provided in one place. I also appreciate that multiple Asana users can add to a "comment chain" within a task, allowing progress on the task to be updated by multiple people. Assignment of the task can also be transferred and new workers can be added to the task. It is useful when being introduced into a new job to see the timeline of a task, who has been involved so far, and what materials may be useful in consulting.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find that Asana really depends on the users to actually assign the tasks and on the recipient to check what they have been assigned and when it is due. The email updates are helpful, but sometimes feel cluttered with information about the task, such as the chain. People tend to be very brief in their notes, but this may not be the tools fault.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves the need for constant in-person check-ins or emailing about tasks, since they can just be assigned to anyone in the office through Asana, with all relevant info like timeline or linked materials included. It's far more reliable than handwriting my tasks or relying on multiple emails about a specific task.
my review of asana
What do you like best about the product?
I like the color coding and tags. i like the app.
What do you dislike about the product?
I purchased asana as a spreadsheet replacement and it's not working out. Making things more complex
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is ok at a lot of things but doesn't excel at one thing particularly
Wasn't for me- too complicated
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can share work tasks within a team, and have different teams for different projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really could not get the hang of this, even after watching the training video and getting a lesson from a coworker. This isn't for me. I much prefer my own internal lists to get things done.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I know others on my team like it because it keeps them organized, shows what is outstanding and who's in charge of what. You can see the big picture of the entire project and its to-do's.

You can choose who to tag in a post or send updates to
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not great for somone who likes to see everything laid out
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solving problems with task management and documentation saving
Email Fatigue and Confusion
What do you like best about the product?
the ability to move tasks around, report status, and attach files is fairly straight forward. The ability attach a file and mark it up with comments is great, however the markup tool is extremely limited.
What do you dislike about the product?
The notifications. Everything in Asana sends you an email. It's insane how much email this service generates and how uninviting and confusing/cluttered the user interface is. The markup tool is a nice start, but cannot be enlarged or use PDF files at this time. The markup tool does not allow for images to be rotated or enlarged, which limits a lot of true function. Aside from the promise of the markup tool, this is my least favorite project management experience by far.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
None. This service buries my inbox, confuses our team endlessly, and we're only still tied to it because we made such a big push to get it online.
