Asana Reviews & Product Details

I like the drag and drop functionality and customizable board view.

I'd like the in-progress, waiting, not started color-coding to be more visible on the board.

Organizing client tasks is very simple in Asana. Makes it so I know what my priorities are for each week.

Asana has helped keep my tasks in line- due dates, subtasks, and additional comments for items have been key in staying organzied.

I would like enhanced search functionality.

Items do not fall through the cracks as easily when utilizing Asana.

User friendly interface and easy management

There is nothing I dislike about asana though it would be great if we have more user guides

The benefits I have realised are that I don't need any extra tool for any project to keep track of it

Having a central repository to keep track of all of our current projects has been an extreme help and a huge timesaver for our organization. 2020 forced us to pivot in many ways, and we greatly struggled with staying on top of all of the projects we had going on. We use it every day all day for keeping track of the timelines, notes, and any relevant project-related documents. For this reason, I would highly recommend Asana to anyone that is struggling to manage multiple projects and/or clients at the same time.

No downsides; it is simply a fantastic platform to use!

The timeline, in particular, has been the most crucial part of our onboarding process. It has been a gamechanger being able to see what milestones are coming and is a great way for us to remind our clients of upcoming deliverables.

I feel like compared to other team workflow applications, Asana was the most complete and had all of the features that I needed to work from beginning to end on a project with my team. It seems to integrate best with G-Suite and can work interchangeably with the application. The best feature for my remote team was the ability to assign tasks to members of the program without having to email them separately. It also allows everyone working on a team to get updates on projects, rather than needing to hold a meeting and discuss updates.

It was a little bit difficult for some of my team members to get the hang of the program because it is so detailed. But that is more of a testament to their program skills than the program. I would like it if it had a feature that may be emailed you upcoming due dates that week or something to that effect.

Asana has helped my remote team work on projects together in teams, and we're able to see the progress of the project tasks without having to check in with one another. The best benefit in my opinion is not having to have extra meetings to update one another on project progress, because we can all see what tasks are completed or outstanding in Asana. The best benefit is that it emails all due dates to the user every morning, so you don't have to go into the program to check and see what is due.

organization of task and references material

No real dislikes at this time, the program is very well put together.

Great space to organize and assign our individual task to employees as well as a great space to store reference material for review when ever needed

I truly appreciative the collaborative nature of Asana, allowing me to use it for both my professional and personal life.

I wish there was more of a gantt chart-like view.

Solving core collaboration needs across a cross-functional team. A lot of streamlined operations and the ability to duplicate plans for similar tasks/programs.

We loved Asana for our bookkeeping firm and we need to an app that would also create invoices. We also loved the tier training sessions for our staff.

We could not make invoices for our time spent on a project. We could have used an invoicing app but it was too expensive.

Project management, facilitation to modify a batch of projects and tasks. Better management of projects.

It is so simple to use that I even use it during my private time. I have an easy way to arrange all the things I have to do for the day and I could see all the deadlines easely. I can pin also people on the tasks that they need to work on and give them deadlines, it is fantastic.

Nothing Really, I have been using Asana for about 5 years and I can't compalin

Time management and project management are the key areas that Asana helps me with. I can manage my work better with it

When we first started using Asana, I thought oh sure another product that will "help me" but WOW this actually helps me stay on top of my assignments across our 4 sister companies, running and planning promotions, managing issues, fixes and so much more. I often open my Asana inbox (my favorite feature) before my email inbox, as it gives me a better idea of what is going on in the company.

I wish that there was an option to just upgrade single users instead of the whole team. The majority of our users are very task based and the Premium Level is perfect for them, but the management team could benefit from the Business Level offerings, but the cost at our size right now is not justified.

We use it for so many differnt things including: - Forms the team can fill out for issues to be handled in the weekly meetings - Forms the team uses to recognize other members of the team for exceeding core values - Calendar view in projects to plan the quarter/year ahead for marketing - Reoccurring tasks for checking in on projects, and keeping training on track across all departments. - Reporting of tasks - completed, past due, number of recognitions and what they are for (from the forms mentioned above) and more is reviewed from a report in our weekly meetings. Honestly I could go on and on, but those are the top 5

Love how "approachable" Asana is. The friendly, light branding goes a long way, in my book! They also have a wealth of tutorials and templates written in plain English that help the daunting task of project management seem a little less overwhelming....and, dare I say, a little fun?

It's a plus and a minus that Asana has so many awesome features. I sometimes feel like I'm not using it as efficiently as I could be, but it not really the software's fault that I'm a perfectionist!

Our company rarely has time to all be on our computers tackling things at the same time- Asana helps us all stay on the same page from afar and keep important, pertinent info all in one place.

Asana is the only tool in this space that is loved the most. Asana helps our organization work cumulatively on a project seamlessly. We can create, assign, and manage tasks with the greatest of ease. It helps us break down a huge project into small tasks and assigns those to multiple team members where they can work and update progress in the description box embedded within the task menu. It reminds about the tasks which are due by some date in order to help us priortize our work. It allows us a lot of conveniences to work with no trouble while working remotely.

Asana is a great tool yet some drawbacks are there. If a task is to be assigned to multiple people, it won't allow you to do that. Apart from that, if you are working on a task from a long list of tasks and you have to go to the next task you have to go back to the previous master task to jump to the next one. It doesn't provide you the convenience to jump to the next task from the previous one. That consumes a lot of time when we are working under pressure.

I am using it to keep a record of the tasks I have performed in a day. Additionally, I'm using it to track the progress of the tasks assigned to my team. I'm using it to gather data from multiple people working within the organizaion in several departments. At last, it reminds me of the due tasks and helps me prioritize my work.

Asana helps keep my team organized so we can see exactly how our projects are progressing. I love that it sends notifications to my email, as well as alerting me on the Asana app. I love that you can upload documents right to the task, so people can easily make edits.

The only thing I dislike about Asana is that it might be too feature-rich. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but there are just quite a few features that my team doesn't use.

Asana helps keep my team on track with all of our projects. It solves many of our organizational problems. I've also realized it functions as our team calendar, as we can see who has meetings with which partners and when.

I absolutely love this product. I am a nonprofit executive and literally could not function without it. I love the organization, integration with products like Canva and Slack, and the customization each user can do.

Honestly nothing. It's pricy, but worth it because it makes my staff more efficient.

I am diagnosed with ADHD and have troubles focusing and organizing projects. Additionally, we have a team spread across multiple locations (and adding another soon). Asana helps keep everything on track, and everyone looped in.

Asana is extremely well constructed. I run a 10-person design/development agency and the ability to layout work, track that work, and provide revisions all in the same place is extremely valuable!

I like using Asana for personal organization as well. The only downside I've found in using Asana for my business and professional lives is the fact that the paid Asana version requires multiple seats, so it doesn't make sense for single users.

Asana helps us solve the important issue of getting everyone on the same page, breaking down large tasks into sub tasks and assigning them to the appropriate person. For us, we love the fact that we can keep everything pertaining to a specific client in the same spot for internal reference at any point in time.

I have been a project manager for many years. There are so many features that I like about Asana - the integrations, forms, portfolios, proofing, adding tasks to multiple projects...Asana is constantly working to improve. I love this since there is an element of surprise to see what comes next. I remember how exciting it was when it became possible to toggle between list and board view on a project.

Full team-wide adoption is challenging. We have upped our training game since I started to head up a task force about a year ago which includes a rep from each department. We meet monthly to check in re: pain points, strategies and wins in our departments. I have gotten better at training new employees on the platform when they join the company but then once they are onboarded and their individual team is not strong on Asana they may stop using it.

We are solving for organizational silos. Silos are a perennial problem, especially now that we are almost fully remote. We are working to build an archive of project templates so that we do not need to recreate the wheel each time and so we have an archive of past projects. We are getting better at triaging various organizational requests through forms to different project boards rather than having this information get lost in emails, slack, etc.

I like the ease of use. It is an intuitive tool that allows users to quickly adopt Asana. I also like the variety of views for managing projects, from lists, boards, and timelines. There is a workflow that meets everyone's needs.

Not having a dedicated space within a project that allows you to take notes with screenshots embedded. Our work around is to create a task and track notes in the description, but the screenshots have to be attached to the bottom instead of within the text of the notes.

Creating portfolios that give leaders an overview of all the intiatives that are currently in progress and then being able to report out on the status for each project. Asana has also helped to improve the speed of projects and allows everyone to know exactly what the success metrics are for each initiative.

The different ways of managing projects, whether large, medium or small

I think there could be more filter options in the Reports, especially by dates

I've left projects that would normally be a mess into very organized projects with a well-defined schedule. It connects the dots very well and is very interactive.

ASANA is very easy to use and has lot of features.

Nothing as such. I haven't found any cons about the tool.

I have been using ASANA for creating, managing, reporting and implementation of SOPs and other process improvements,

Asana gives me a sense of calm and focus by letting me see my weekly to-dos in one place, allowing me to stay synced up on large-scale projects, and has become our team's single source of truth for much of what we do. The ability to rely on Asana to keep track of everything we need to accomplish helps me feel focused and organized.

My only dislike is the fact that some of the best features are behind a paywall and there isn't that great of a nonprofit/higher ed discount available with which we could turn on those features. But we manage to make do with the premium tier.

We have created a dashboard using custom tags to track the invoices we process for our admissions office so we can visualize our budget. We have also used this for long-term project management that requires different levels of approval. We also use it for 1:1 meetings so we can keep track of progress toward performance goals and celebrate the achievement of soft goals we achieve.
