Best Project Management Software
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing in ASANA is that it is very easy to use. No need to wait to load the open and close subtasks and wait for it to load again. You can just click and you will see all the things you needed. It doesn't slow down the loading time even though the conversation is too long already.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is pricey. The heartbreaking part is when it is very effective to use but the company have to let go using it because we can't afford it as we hire more employees.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The back and forth. It is because you can see the whole task thread easily. Nobody is being left out. We can pass a task from one shift to another without hassle.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
They must avail this if they are really having trouble in tracking tasks. It is also surprisingly effective at clients communications too especially to us who deals with Web Design clients. Every discussion is there, any changes is there as well. So, even if you are about to continue the project that was left by another employee, you will not have any trouble at all. You can just accept the task and do it!
Simple and Easy to Use
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is extremely simple to setup and use. The entire software is built in a very natural way, so the way you are supposed to add tasks into particular areas is extremely intuitive.
What do you dislike about the product?
It lacks a little bit of the complexity that the other apps provide. There is no option to switch between views - List and Board. Would've been great to have that flexibility.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using it to track the progress of my team in multiple locations
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For beginners in the project management space, asana works best. Their app is very simple to use and since its a lean system, the loading time is very less.
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.
Good platform to share with team
What do you like best about the product?
I liked the ability to track how progress was being made on each project, which task came next, etc. it was also very helpful to assign tasks and projects to other team members from right inside the platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although it looked good, it wasn’t as visually friendly as a platform like Monday.com. It would be nice if it was a bit more intuitive, and easy to see at a glance what the overall picture looks like.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it for assigning tasks between two interdependent teams. The benefits are the ability to communicate between teams and team mates easily, as well as track progress on projects. We’ve been able to complete more projects, with more ease.
Get Things Done with Focus
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is intuitive and easy to pick up. It is great at keeping a lot of things organized in one place. I
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be a bit overwhelming to newer users of SaaS tools at first, but like any tool the more you use it, the easier it gets.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration and project management
Simple Collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Asana makes it easy for team members to stay updated the progress of a specific task, even if they are not actively logging into the account.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is not always easy to see metrics of the progression of tasks on a whole or delegate responsibilities within a task
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use asana to track the progress of deals once they are closed. It is used as a collaborative workspace where sales can see how the new client is adopting to our product
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Allows teams to track tasks or projects through phases or past checkpoints while monitoring communications and notes between team members
Efficient, organised, aesthetically pleasing task organising tool - for individuals and small teams
What do you like best about the product?
It's amazingly detailed enabling you to break down all the tasks within a project and schedule them, delegate them and organise in the diary. No more lists on paper or emails to collaborators - it's all in one place - and with daily reminders to keep on track. And - it looks beautiful!
What do you dislike about the product?
Can't think of anything as yet that I can comment on.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Far easier than making lists on paper, or the basic reminder lists in google or outlook; share tasks with a VA and designer and track progress; can see months of projects laid out in the calendar view and reduce overwhelm.
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.
Not User Friendly
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to collaborate with co-workers. Asana makes it easy to collaborate. I like that you can easily see and filter out which tasks you need to accomplish within a specific timeframe. The one thing that I liked the best was the ability to add a recipient to each task. It was helpful for sorting out who was supposed to be doing what task. Tasks were not overlooked because each task had a person or people assigned to it.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't think the interface is very user friendly. I ultimately did not continue using Asana as it was not as user friendly as I would have liked and it seemed to take too much time to learn than what it is worth. It was useful for the time period we needed it for at the time, but I don't think we will be continuing to use it in the future.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration. Task Management. Time management. Our team benefited from collaboration, task management and time management tools. We were able to successfully track and complete projects and tasks that would have easily been overlooked and forgotten if we had not used the software. We benefited from Asana to complete a large project. The collaboration tools helped us to keep track of who was supposed to do what.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend Asana to anyone who needs assistance with team collaboration and time and task management. Asana is helpful to keep work flowing and time sensitive tasks accomplished.
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.
