Asana is effective for collaboration and follow up
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the ability to create action items and keep track of what tasks have yet to be address. I also like that you can copy boards so that you don't have to create everything from scratch! I also like the simple and clean design.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't much I dislike! I think it's easy to use! Maybe offer different colors for profiles with no pictures so we can easily distinguish instead of relying on initials.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use this to keep track of our biweekly retros and track things that worked and things that didnt as well as to hold ourselves accountable when we don't follow up on action items. It's also beneficial because we can assign tasks to team members and it clearly points out who is who.
Simple setup and simple to use
What do you like best about the product?
It offers a wide range of features for those who want to keep it simple and for those who want to get a little more into the weeds.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are sometimes I feel like the features can be a little overwhelming when training someone new to the software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is helping me and my team become more organized and efficient with our projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be sure to use the free version to evaluate whether it meets your needs.
Great way to manage products
What do you like best about the product?
Asana really helps your team organize all of the projects that you are working on and provide deadlines and status updates.
What do you dislike about the product?
The amount of emails that get sent for every little update can get over whelming. They need to let you limit. Currently it's all or none
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Provides organization, project management and project tracking
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a really good basic project manager software. Definitely allows you to organzie all aspects of the projects that you are working on, deal out responsibilities, and create the deadlines necessary to get the project done. Only down side as I mentioned before is the project update emails. You can get 2 or 3 per project when responsibility is changed or if dates get changed.
Helpful in managing and collaborating on tasks and projects.
What do you like best about the product?
I like this product because it make it very easy to collaborate on projects. It's very helpful with respecting to knowing which component is done, assigned or pending.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have no complaints with the exception of the cost of the business package is pricey.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Projects that require oversight and multiple peoples efforts previously were tracked through conversations, meetings, email. Asana streamlines all of that saving time, effort and missed timelines.
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
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can see the tasks that you are being assigned and mark them as they are completed.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't think Asana is a productive tool. My Director has to inform me through messenger of my tasks and I will finish them I hardly see anything in Asana. It isn't user friendly sometimes if fields are not correct on who can view them you won't be able to see things assigned to you. If anything Asana is a waste of time that needs to have some sort of integration and easier organizational tools for tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Nothing really.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think it can be used as a simple reminder of the tasks that you need to discuss with your team. But if you aren't careful on how or who can view it things can be assigned to the wrong team or may not show up in the correct tabs.
Great Software For A Worldwide Team
What do you like best about the product?
Everyone can see what needs to be done and is able to connect in order to be accountability partners when it comes to meeting deadlines.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some functions are implied, not exactly detailed. With some trial and error, you can figure things out, but it just takes a bit of time to get the feel for the little things.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm able to connect with a team literally scattered around the globe, enabling me to pool my talent without having to relocate my entire life.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're talking yourself into limiting your dream because you can't find the right people near you, this lifts that worry. Asana makes it feel like the team is right there with you, even though they are on the other side of the globe. It's great for accountability as everyone can see calendars and tasks and connect quickly to keep the team on track.
Asana is a waste
What do you like best about the product?
I don't really like anything about asana. I suppose it has a simple Intuitive interface but i juat dont really get the concept. Maybe I'm just really organized, more so than other people, but I just don't get why a company would pay for something like this.
What do you dislike about the product?
Mostly the concept of the software. It's just unnecessary to me maybe it makes more sense in other areas of the business but on the sales side I hate it
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
They use it to track progress or assign items to people that need to be completed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do you really need this?
Looks great, keeps me organized. Wish the free version wasn't so limited
What do you like best about the product?
The UI. The product is enjoyable to use because it is designed so nicely. Compared to other task management softwares I've used, I would say it looks and feels the nicest.
What do you dislike about the product?
I currently use the free version and am really missing some features (like GANT charts/dependencies). Many features are limited with the free version (like the dashboard.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Task management - helps keep me organized and on task throughout the day.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you hate working in Windows 98 - style task managers, you'll love Asana!
