Asana Reviews & Product Details

Asana Overview
What is Asana?

Considered one of the pioneering cloud-based project management tools, Asana offers four views for its users – List View, Timeline, Calendar, and Boards – all of which help teams get both a macro and micro view of all the moving parts of projects and tasks. It provides a comprehensive roadmap of ongoing projects from start to finish, clearly outlining dependencies, project milestones, and feedback and approval processes. For project managers, strong reporting capabilities that show completion rates, individual workloads, and potential delays just to name a few create opportunities for real-time project optimization, collaboration, stronger forecasting, and better planning for future similar projects.

"Productivity & Ease of Integration"
What do you like best about Asana?

The ease of use and interface means its very intuitive. There are always new features to discover but doing so isn´t a chore or something that requires lengthy time spent trying to do so.

What do you dislike about Asana?

I wish that there were certain features that didn´t require an additional app integration.

What problems is Asana solving and how is that benefiting you?

Knowing who is doing what / when / where information is being stored. I dont have to look in four different places to find the information.

"Makes life super organised"
What do you like best about Asana?

I'm not chasing my tail when it comes to staying on top of work. The thing, I like most about it is that I don't have to think about what to do next, it just pops up! It makes me feel like I am working on the business and not just in it as well. From a productivity point of view, this is definitely a great programme to have.

What do you dislike about Asana?

That I didn't discover it months earlier!

Task prioritization is much easier with Asana. Next actions for projects. Very helpful being able to add contexts. Makes it easy to fill short open bl9cks of time with quick wins.

"Such a great tool that has transformed the way I work every day!"
What do you like best about Asana?

Asana has helped me organize my tasks. Now my team has joined Asana as well, so I am able to more effectively communicate with them. Asana has streamlined our projects and has helped us be more effective and efficient as a team. It has been easy for me to utilize & implementing it to our team went well because each person was able to join at their own pace!

What do you dislike about Asana?

The only downside would be that I would love to access the rule features on my premium subscription since my company does not want to upgrade our plan at this time!

What problems is Asana solving and how is that benefiting you?

Asana is helping solve the issue of being overwhelmed with tasks. They are simplifying and clarifying my work load.

"Excellent software and easy to learn"
What do you like best about Asana?

Super easy to learn and all the trainings are excellent. It's so easy to find the answer for almost anything and take trainings that are relevant to the way I personally use Asana.

What do you dislike about Asana?

Asana is missing certain features that I consider vital, like 2-way calendar syncing (it only works in one direction) and an ability to build in the time for a task to be done (ie, by 3pm, by COB) instead of just the date.

What problems is Asana solving and how is that benefiting you?

Asana allows us to manage long term projects that we are working on with external groups. We maintain control of the project but they can add updates and check off tasks. It's more collaborative and more visual. I also like it for personal tasks that get repeated a lot, where there are a ton of tasks associated with a bigger task that I repeat on a regular basis.

"Ease of Asana"
What do you like best about Asana?

Asana is very easy to use. You can have different teams and projects and also assign certain viewers to them. You assign tasks to which users will be responsible for them and then they receive an email and will input their progress for everyone to see. We use this for weekly and quarterly meetings, special long term projects, and anything else that needs collaboration with several people.

What do you dislike about Asana?

I am not a fan of the "consider updating your project" emails that I receive as an administrator. I use one of the same projects year round and just add to it every quarter but Asana sends me emails asking me to consider updating my task. I also don't like the new upgrade they did to the viewing page but it isn't difficult. I just liked the old one better.

What problems is Asana solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use this for our Traction L10 meetings and projects. We put the L10 itinerary on there with sub tasks. It helps us keep track of things we have had problems with and also things that we need to do to get things taken care of. With Asana everyone on the team can see what everyone is working on and they can communicate with each other.

"Asana Best For Team Collaboration's"
What do you like best about Asana?

I like how As a na helps us collaborate projects at ease because of its features that I think were just made for our need. I like the simplicity with Asana which makes it easy to use. The customer support are always ready to help you when faced with a problem.

What do you dislike about Asana?

I have been using Asana and l have had no dislikes with them.

What problems is Asana solving and how is that benefiting you?

The way we used to put pins or notes on Calender's in order to remember when something should be done and finished but this way people tend to forget a lot. So Asana come up with deu dates, Mass updates & Calendar views in their platform which have automated features therefore saving time and effort of keeping all this things in mind. Now l can just use Asana to create and assign projects at ease. Asana has just made my work easy.

"Asana helps unite teams"
What do you like best about Asana?

My favorite thing about Asana is that it is a hub for activity and can cover so much cross-functional work. It can be used for many types of projects, can scale up or down depending on needs, and can be helpful especially when teams are in different physical locations.

What do you dislike about Asana?

My only downsides are that there are so many features and capabilites that it can be intimidating for novices.

What problems is Asana solving and how is that benefiting you?

Asana is aiding in general organization of work and task/project management. It is also helping visualize posting schedule and team bandwidth. Asana in this way benefits my work and aids in me keeping track of my team's and organization's projects and goals.

What do you like best about Asana?

I love the breakdown of tasks and automation. It means I can be really specific with projects to do's, and then not have to manually repeat steps or move things around.

What do you dislike about Asana?

The least helpful part is there's no notes pad, you can't document information beyond a task or project for anyone to come and use.

What problems is Asana solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's helping our teams communicate on projects and brining clarity to deadlines and tasks.

"Easy to use and feature loaded for small business"
What do you like best about Asana?

Asana is loaded with features for small business, even at the free level. Except for Gantt view, the views available that I use most often are calendar (marketing purposes), list (checklist, inventory, etc), and KanBan (Sales pipeline). I use it to manage a hiring process, social media content planning, sales pipeline with reminders and subtasks and notes to allow me to follow up and share tasks with other team members. Additionally I like its ease of use, very intuitive, I can add and remove temporary users, VA's give them access to only certain projects and block access to other projects. I have personal spaces set up that I don't want coworkers/VAs to access r view, and finance projects that I don't want marketing people to see and vice-versa. You have complete control. Another plus is the mobile app.Taks with deadline reminders (date and time) popup as a notification on your phone and if you take a sales call on your phone you can put notes right away and on your hone without having to log onto your computer. The mobile app is probably used more than the computer/website because its full featured and easy to use. When I ave downtime I just whip out the app and call my next lead easily with the name and contact info safely stored in the app.

What do you dislike about Asana?

No Gannt view (free version) but other than that it has a lot more going for it (which is why I keep using it after 2 years). I hav zapier connected to FB inquiries that adds names and tasks to my sales pipeline its very versatile!

What problems is Asana solving and how is that benefiting you?

I needed a way to track my leads and current clients, this is my primary reason for use and it does it great. I can add notes and tasks, and subtasks and stay organized with leads and client preferences.
