Asana is a great tool for managing tasks for multiple different projects. I really like how easy it is to create and manage tasks not only from Asana but also using the Chrom Extension or directly from a Slack Conversation.
There's nothing to dislike about Asana but the Chrome Extension is really slow and it needs to be optimized.
Asana helps in managing day-to-day tasks and activities and different projects in a single platform.
The possibility to manage your own workload and others. It gives visibility of "The big picture" to you and your superiors. Things that are not clear for them such as amount of work, times and priorities. The communication improved a lot since we started usin asana. For me, the real value lays in being able to organize my everyday tasks and tag them in different projects. The calendar visibility is one of it's best tools, you can drag and drop as needed any task you are working on, making it easy to change the date of a task. We tried with many different softwares before: Basecamp, Trello, etc; but none of them were as full and satisfying. Features like time tracking, customizable permissions, risk management, team collaboration and much more.
You are not able to assign tasks and tag them in other boards without appearing on them. This was the most problematic tool to me.
Times and workload are much more visible. Good organization.Conectivity with other applications and softwares.
I like that it is an easy-to-use software and very easy to customize. I love that it allows me to share the evolution of the project/product throughout the company, and how easy it is to assign to-do list items to my team members. I love that it provides tools such as dashboards to see the team's performance and based on that, make decisions to improve.
Needs improvements in the mobile application. Price can be an issue for smaller startups. It would be great if they introduced more free features. It is a tool that has a lot of potential and its great team has been in charge of constantly improving it.
It is a multifunctional tool that makes it very easy to plan and list daily tasks, in addition to providing multiple ways to organize tasks, by date or priority, which allows you to have greater control of tasks, keeping everyone focused in what corresponds to them. It ensures that all project management tasks are aligned.
- Asana is the simpliest project management tool there is - It is very use to use even if you have multiple clients. - It also has an option to use mutlipel accounts, and swithcing between accounts is very straight forward. - They also have an mobile app that is easy to use. And if you have mutiple accounts, swithing between the accounts is easy without having to log out and log in to another account.
- Importing task via csv is not always straight forward. - If you have tasks that are depentend on other tasks, they do not pull into asan via a csv. - You cannot have a url link to a section of a project, you have to create links to taks or
When you have multiple projects and haveing a large team wokring on these projects is never easy and straight forward. Asana has made that a breeze with its easy to use interface and functionality.
There are many different ways to communicate across projects and share files with collegues and others working on the project. I also like the reminders for taks in email.
Maybe there are too many sybols that I have yet to learn what they mean but will work on figuring it out so I can fullly enjoy the tool.
We have many different people working on similar or same projects across different groups in the org. asana helps us to stay on task and organized with who has completed what and what is due by when.
I LOVE Asana. It is easy to use and great for a visual person like me. I like that I can see all the tasks for one project or all projects.
I wish you could select which projects to view in main calendar. It is either one or all currently. I would like to be able to do a time span/end date on projects/tasks. You may be able to with paid version.
Helps me keep track of everything. I am a marketing manager which means I wear a lot of hats--social media, web, PR, graphics, events... I like that I can plan out my week/month/year and color code it so I can see all my tasks at a glance. I also like that I can collaborate with my intern, assign projects, and keep track of her progress.
Everything, out of all other PM softwares I used, Asana is the smoothest, fastest, easier to setup and customize.
Nothing at all. IMO Asana is a arket leader when it comes to features and its ease of use.
Mirroring taks from one board to antoher is very important to me, I can look at the project progress and at the same time see how tasks are laid out for a specific department.
color coding and schematic setup and easy implementation learning curve
none yet. still early in the implementation phase to fully understand all the features and small kinks it might have.
Prioritizing client accounts and basic crm functionalities without the salesforce hype and abilities(price)
My favourite part about this tool is the ability to segment projects into easy to manage tasks. I also love that you can assign tasks to teammates to hold everyone accountable. Integrates with so many other tools to make life easy.
Only downside I had using this tool was attempting to get everyone on the team to implement it into their workspace - but this is a fairly common problem with any software.
As a recruiter, there were MANY open roles that needed to be filled and a lot of moving pieces (many candidates for each job in various stages of the hiring process, many back-end docs needing to be filled out for each role etc.). Our firm had multiple recruiters work on the same role at a time so using this product helped us keep track of who was responsible for which task, which candidates etc.
The user interface is amazing (like Monday). There's not much showing on the screen and not hard for project managers like me to work on tasks without eye-sore. The notification is also great as it automatically refreshes if you have multiple tabs open.
The loading period. I used Trello and Monday. Monday uses more data due to displays and still managed to load faster. If the issue with slow loading time could be improved, that would be amazing.
I'm doing project management for a digital marketing agency and I adore the list of available apps for integration. We use GSuite and Slack and this is a huge help!
