Asana...if you're into that sorta thing.
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is great for a particular type of organizational mind. If you're that type, enjoy it to its fullest.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana looks and feels like an emotionless pit of soul crushing tasks that will haunt you until completed. The design team could have truly used more tactical empathy training.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Partners have used Asana to deliver film production notes. This could be very efficient, and at its core, it is. However, the delivery method and experience of Asana is not built for creatives, and therefore, it is polarizing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use it to deliver tasks for your team if the tool fits your leadership style.
Not new user friendly
What do you like best about the product?
In theory, it has all of the built in functions I need (task assignment, creation of subtasks with deadlines, attachment of files, etc)
What do you dislike about the product?
The overall design is neither appealing nor efficient. It is not easy to navigate or easily track progress without multiple clicks. It lacks the visual cleanliness of other project management programs
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're testing it out to use for project run by the education team but completed by others. At this point, many people are just ignoring it and using their own tracking methods since asana is a pain
Asana review
What do you like best about the product?
You could assign multiple tasks to team members in the program.
What do you dislike about the product?
It was difficult to keep track of assignments and not very user friendly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were trying to organize the project management aspect of the business.
Nice collaborative features, not a great UX/UI
What do you like best about the product?
Nice to have a very flexible framework to share with colleagues on similar projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
Seems like the software would come apart at any minute.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helped to allow multiple PM's to contribute in a fluid manner to the progress of a software implementation.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Build a little more structure and a little less fluidity to where it seems unsettled.
The executive team uses Asana
What do you like best about the product?
I like that everybody can create tasks for each other and you can send tasks to someone else once you've finished your part. Being able to comment on Asana and also see those comments on your email is helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the user interface is really terrible and feels outdated. I much prefer the modern/sleeker feel of Slack. I would only really recommend Asana if there were no other options.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is slightly quicker than just email. Also since everybody can see everybody's tasks there is less duplication.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It might be good because it is part of the office 365 suite (?) not sure but the user interface is just not good.
Design is overwhelming while functionality is underwhelming
What do you like best about the product?
I like that the design is more appealing than other project management tools. I like that there are basic functions like swimlanes and multiple boards to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that the reporting isn't as robust as other software. I found the robust design elements to be overwhelming. I've used Jira for years and tried to make the switch to Asana but we ended up regretting it and going back to Jira.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Asana for our day to day development task tracking. We run our sprints off the boards.
Super great for staying organized!
What do you like best about the product?
I really like that Asana allowed us to track projects and to do lists for multiple employees in one space however the horizontal layout can be challenging at times.
What do you dislike about the product?
The horizontal layout can be challenging at times. I like to be able to see the big picture but the way
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana allows us to track multiple projects with teams. It's incredible to stay organized and on task while tracking live progress.
OK, but not great.
What do you like best about the product?
That different tasks could be assigned to different people and could view longitudinal display of tasks completed, past-due, and up-coming.
What do you dislike about the product?
Couldn't adjust timeline (GANNT) view of project to get good look at overall project. Also, didn't see how to view multiple timelines (i.e., for different projects) at the same time to get a good overview of all projects organization (or manager) had under their purview.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing cross-functional virtual teams.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Something to look at and compare to other options - including just Excell, Word, and Powerpoint for tracking and reporting, etc..
Beautiful disaster
What do you like best about the product?
Extremely visually appealing. When you can find your way to a project or specific task, it's relatively intuitive to take care of it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Generally unintuitive. We've been using it a couple of years now, and I still have a ton of trouble navigating among projects, and then down to my tasks within projects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Asana to track cross-functional pre-release sign-offs. As long as people are provided a direct link to their sign-off task, this generally makes it easy to achieve and track release checkbox objectives.
Adequate
What do you like best about the product?
A lot of organizational features to keep projects on track.
What do you dislike about the product?
Seems easy have the same topic talked about too many times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working on bigger projects with bigger teams is useful with Asana. It's beneficial to have a platform that so many people can contribute to.
