Good Program for Business Management
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a website where you can easily manage a company's tasks. You can easily create work groups and add employees. Within those groups, you can create tasks for each person or groups of people, and those tasks, in turn, can be returned once completed or modified with tags to make it easier to locate the tasks. It is a very useful tool for documenting, for example, work done in a warehouse or a company with many departments that need to be in contact.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I like the least is that we depend on the internet; if it goes down, we can't access anything. There should be something local, so that if the connection is lost, at least you can see what you had until then. The searches are also not entirely well done; there are more fields they should include for searching, as there are things you can't easily search for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In the company where I work, there is a before and after since we have Asana... it hasn't been perfect. Before, there was a lot of disorder in the company, now with this website, we can pass tasks to each other, write modifications on them, and pass them among colleagues and likewise, pass them to other departments of the company. It's also good for my bosses, as they can have greater control over tasks and time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
it is highly recommended
Changed the way we work
What do you like best about the product?
I love the flexibility of Asana and its features. They are continually growing the platform and making things better. Timeline is an incredible function and allows for my team to work on multi-month projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have a lot of dislikes with Asana. Their customer support has responded quickly on any questions I have had and they send plenty of updates to help with learning new features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping our team organized and up to date on complex projects. We have seen an increase in productivity.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Switch - you won't regret it.
Great product management tool
What do you like best about the product?
I like the Asana Slack integration the best. It helps us to assign tasks more effortlessly
What do you dislike about the product?
Some customization seems overkill. Such as the different projects lists and boards. Less is more.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used it to track projects, assign tasks and a report on progress
Use it because there is nothing better...yet.
What do you like best about the product?
Has the most features than any software in its industry. Has plenty of options, and is easy enough to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a huge bug where if you put to many projects in one group then the tasks within it will stop showing up for people.... randomly. It's an easy fix to create a new group, however there is no warning that the group is too full to accept additional projects, so there might be some time before anyone picks up on this. This has caused my company to miss deadlines in the past and is the main reason as soon as there is an alternative our company will drop Asana like a bad habit.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it to assign out work and so other teams can see what projects members are working on.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If they fix that issue and there is still not a better alternative..... then yes I guess your stuck with it.
Asana offers basic organization
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is very good for collaborating with team members, and tracking which tasks need to be done. It is a good way to stay on top of what you should be doing at work, especially for projects with a lot of small tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is no in-progress task status or "need help" task status for projects. It would be intuitive to have a way to share with your collaborators where you are at with your project, such as "in progress" or "roadblock" or anything with an icon instead of just "task" and "complete". That said, it is a good, basic communication tool for working on projects and holding each other accountable with deadlines.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Event management for fundraisers at our non-profit. It has helped us keep on track of what we need to be doing and what has yet to get done for the event, especially time-sensitive deadlines.
Really simple to use and collaborate
What do you like best about the product?
It's so easy to tag people and make sure that once they're done they don't have to keep getting notifications since you can just take them off the task.
Super easy to organize projects and prevent duplicate tasks.
Super easy to organize projects and prevent duplicate tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's nothing that comes to mind. It serves the purpose we have it for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has helped us remove silos between departments by collaborating on projects here. If someone feels they want updates they can be added as a follower. It has helped us project management at scale.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Depending on your needs, Asana helped our operational excellence go from a 6 to a 9. We are able to get so much more done now that we have everyone using and trained in asana. They have great training videos that make training from 0-80% about an hours time.
Great for organization.
What do you like best about the product?
All projects can be consolidated into a task list.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's hard to get used to assigning tasks to multiple users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communication within the office. Asana is a centralized area where all projects and tasks are there, projects will not get lost within emails now.
Love Asana
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you are able to write down your day-to day tasks as well as track what others are doing, you are able to chat with people, make lists, to-do lists as well as make deadlines.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that asana is sometimes very slow on my computer (I have an old computer) so it gets frustrating to work with sometimes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
we are fixing the issue of project management within all departments and communication amongst teams while they are on the road.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
DO IT
Useful and attractive
What do you like best about the product?
I like using asana because it's very attractive and simple to use. I like that I can use Lists or Boards to organize projects. Tasks are easy to create and keep track of. It's useful to see where changes have been made within projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that anyone can change tasks and that there are not different user permissions. I'd like to see some more capabilities with project tracking numbers. I haven't found any useful solutions to that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps me keep my teams' projects organized and on time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is simple to use and seems to be adding new capabilities and improvements. I'd recommend the platform to users who have don't have too many tasks within projects. It takes a fair amount of time to keep asana organized and useful.
Great project management tool
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to create, manage and monitor tasks. Assigning task is fairly straightforward and Asana automatically tracks time. We use Slack integration and it makes task management a breeze.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of a hierarchical task view makes it difficult to look for related subtasks in different tasks. Because of that we ended up not using subtasks that often, and pay the price for having too many primary tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
t's very easy to start with the product, and great for the basic use cases. However, task hierarchy is desirable if you manage multiple projects across different teams (like UX + Dev + QA)
