So many features and capabilities

  • August 02, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Asana keeps me accountable. I love the different views offered and the ease of collaborating. Customization is super helpful, from tags to boards to alerts.
What do you dislike about the product?
From time to time, is difficult to keep track of important tasks, projects, and notes. My team has a lot going on so it is easy for things to get lost in the shuffle, even with email reminders and the Inbox. And, though it is very helpful, the levels of customization can be overwhelming and contributes to the "missing important details" sentiment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My team's overall communication has improved through the use of the tool.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take advantage of the training videos. There are so many available features out there that you might not know about.

Easy way to divide tasks and map out projects, a great planning tool that's easy to use.

What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use for assigning tasks and sub-tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
Difficult to move items from one project to a different team's project. If you're on both teams I feel like you should be able to migrate an item (perhaps without the assignees as they may not be on the other team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've used it to manage meetings as well as to align the timing of long term annual and semi annual tasks. It also helped me track the roll out of training.

Great Tool For Tracking a Group Project's Progress

  • August 01, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best part of this program is that you can easily see how much work there is to do, and what the progress of the group members are. It also allows you to see the assignments that you have completed.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be nice to have more graphs. For example to see the productivity of group members over time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My work group uses Asana to have work assigned and to keep track of our group's progress on completing a project. It's especially helpful for remembering what work has been completed and when.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This program is good for keeping track of your own progress is well as that of your group.

Great for small team projects

  • August 01, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
To be honest what I like best about Asana is the crazy amount of functionality that you get in the free version. The most helpful feature is being able to assign tasks to other team members.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the mobile app offered by Asana. While it is great that they do have a mobile app I found it very hard to navigate and get things done on the go in the app.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Asana to manage team projects like agent on-boarding, designing and ordering new marketing materials, or creating video projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely hop on the free version if you have a small team that needs help improving their workflow efficiencies.

Great product for task management and team collaboration

  • August 01, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Asana has a really nice user flow and its easy to get started with. It's great for team collaboration, management and prioritization of tasks, as well as sprints planning. Onboarding new team members and getting them up to speed with a project requirements has never been easier. I like the custom themes, as well as months planning calendars. I also use it for my personal projects, it makes it easier for me to track my work and to have all the information that I need in one place.
What do you dislike about the product?
There really isn't much. The tagging system is a bit simple for me, I would like it to be a bit more customizable, but overall I am satisfied with the service. There has been in the latest months some of a downtime, which needs to be tackled.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using it for our daily work for estimating, planning and managing team tasks. The main benefits are ease of use, availability and reliability. You don't have to waste time changing between email, spreadsheets, even desktop sticky notes, to manage a company's projects. The tool organizes all your team's work (like tasks, calendar, goals, files, notes, and more) in one place, so it's the only tool you need to coordinate tasks and keep projects on track. Moreover, with the teams feature, it is really easy for me to swap between my work, university and personal projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Best tool to keep all of your projects and team information and collaboration in one platform.

One of the best ways to manage your tasks, your team's projects and even your recurring meetings

  • August 01, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Tons of flexibility, beautiful interface, and overall a great solution for both task and project management
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd like the search to be more sophisticated, but it's not that big of a deal.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing personal tasks, projects and team meetings. It's easy and fast to get your team onboard and get started immediately, but despite looking simple, it actually offers a lot of features that make it a great tool for tasks and projects.
We even use it for managing some of our recurring meetings - As a kind of idea & discussion board. People suggest ideas to be discussed, all participants vote on which ideas to discuss in the next meeting, and during the meeting we summarise the discussion in the comments and leave next steps there. No topic gets lost!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is the most useful when your entire team is on it, and not using any other application. You want tasks to be in the same place, and if you must use two different tools (e.g, tasks in Salesforce + Asana) define clear rules which tasks go where.

My Experience using Asana

  • August 01, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The task management and assignment in Asana is easy to use. The UI is up date because it is fast and responsive. You can add task and secionts at ease because it is in the dashboard and you won't get lost using it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana sadly is not for heavy tasks and event management like others because it is only simple. However if they improve it I would gladly use it again!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana specializes in helping teams manage workflows, and it's the surpassing tool to get the job right.
A very UI friendly and slick design, fluid and semantic. Makes it easy to use what ever the age range of the users. The features above makes this tool a very powerful one for team management and collaborations.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a light and up to date design and easy to use web app for your team you should use Asana

One of the best tools to keep your tasks organized

  • August 01, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Asana is that it is pretty easy to start using without much setup. It can cover simple tasks as well as more complicated cases.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is some ambiguity in creating new tasks and filling in the details. Everything gets published right away without having a clear trigger for posting the newly created task.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps you keeping track of your daily tasks, especially since you can quickly write down anything that you get asked to not forget about it when you are in the middle of something. Pretty straightforward. Another great thing is that it will keep reminding you of the tasks that you need to do and tasks that are upcoming.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana will be a great fit for you if you need to keep a simple task organizer and tracker for any types of general tasks

Keep tracking of what is needed for which element in our workflow. Great tool to get the team involved.

Look into some of the features they are working on. It will be the tool of the future. Fascinating!
