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.
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.
Asana
What do you like best about the product?
It does an awesome job of managing team projects and charting progress.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve seem to be a little too steep for some of my co-workers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team projects and progress monitoring. It has done a great job of allowing me to quickly see where a project is at and who has last acted on a task.
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 free tool for collaborative tasks
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to create my own lists of things I need to do as well as share lists with other members of my team.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the UI is pretty buggy. Hitting "enter" for a task should complete that task, not begin a new one! Overall less flexibility than Trello.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration issues with a team that's coast to coast. Simplification.
A great collaboration and communication tool
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to have multiple projects going on at the same time; attaching and linking documents; the myriad views that you can have (by project, a list or calendar, my tasks)
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve was higher than trello, and i don't feel we are using asana to its potential but that's it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
being able to see a wider picture of all our projects at the same time, making work transparent
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are juggling lots of different products and have people with different specializations, Asana helps make that visible and helps keep you on track.
Project Management For Everyone Else
What do you like best about the product?
The Asana platform eases you into projects and tasks management. With its web based interface and collaborative tools built in, you can get directly involved in using the software without all the traditional Onboarding headaches associated with other project management tools
What do you dislike about the product?
The Asana platform is singularly project /tasked focused. While that is a great feature, some integration with other web services or platforms is suggested. The Asana Platform is also appears alittle sophomoric. Yeah its easy to use, but visual counts as well The UX design could a better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The chief business problem we are solving is the alignment with all stakeholders. The Asana platform is allowing for a single version of the truth in where are with project/program progress. The chief benefit is accountability
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give the trial a serious go...at the end, you will know without a doubt if this is platform for you.
