Asana Reviews

Best project management software!

Comments: I have used Asana on both the agency side for managing client work and on a personal side of managing my own individual work. Asana keeps things simple, it's so easy to integrate with other tools, and visually is very appealing.

Pros:

Very intuitive and easy to use project management software. Saves a ton of time for the user which is crucial.

Cons:

Nothing really, I think this is the best project management software out there currently.

Task master with Asana

Comments: I've enjoyed my experience as it has helped me with my productivity

Pros:

Asana has helped me keep track of my notes in one secure and simple places

Cons:

It can be limited in its features and hard to integrate other apps

Good for teams with noncomplex projects

Comments: It is good for teams who want to know what is going on social media when or when things are due. Solid project management tool.

Pros:

It is easy to navigate the scheduling side of the platform.

Cons:

User interface when organizing tabs and adding notes to things on the web version, is too sensitive and clicks things when you don't want them to be opened.

Intuitive Planning Software - Great for Projects

Comments: Running an online business requires a lot of different types of tasks from product creation to social media. I especially like to use Asana for complicated projects like creating an online course. This task benefits from project management because there are a lot of dependencies. For example, you can't launch the sales page until you finish the checkout page, etc.
However for daily to-dos I find something simpler (like pen and paper) is more useful.
I still haven't completely refined my workflow to optimize my use of software.

Pros:

Asana is a very robust project management tool with a simple interface. It is not hard to get started and do the basics such as creating a project and adding tasks. The app is also very intuitive and you can get to your tasks quite quickly. I like that I can just scroll through the tasks and find one that I can do in the time I have available. You can also prioritize your tasks by importance. I like the list view of projects because I don't have to open workspaces and boards, etc. However, it does also have the Kanban layout.

Cons:

This is not really the fault of the software, but I tend to put too many tasks in project management tools and this reduces my motivation to open them. Ultimately, it's easier for me to remember something when I write it down on paper.

Asana - Reliable in task and project management

Pros:

Its a reliable tool for project and task management. Whats much better we are able to prioritize on tasks that we creates. Its easier to use and very straight forward.

Cons:

The cost of acquiring the license is high. Limited capabilities for free versions.

Easy to use task manager for a large or small team

Comments: I have been a user of Asana for over 6 years now. The past two years is the first time my entire company has collaborated on Asana.

Pros:

Asana is very easy to use and collaborate with multiple team members.

Cons:

It can be very expensive when your entire company starts to use it.

Program Management Tool

Pros:

So easy to learn and use tool. I love it

Cons:

It is working perfectly. No issues so far

Great Program, Little Clunky to learn at first

Comments: It definitely helped our marketing agency, and help me stay organized as someone who regularly wears multiple

Pros:

I loved being able to separate tasks out between multiple departments and then sub tasks within department themselves

Cons:

I’ve used both Asana and click up, and I felt that Asana had a weaker UI and wasn’t as intuitive or easy to learn

Asana Review

Comments: It was good as a basic organizational tool, and very easy to use, but it wasn't customizable enough to meet the needs of our company.

Pros:

It was very user-friendly and pretty configurable, I often used it for personal organization before I started using it for my work. It's visually appealing and easy to customize.

Cons:

The features were not advanced enough to manage the high volume of work that our team does, so we needed to migrate to a product with more custom fields and the ability to do custom builds of project spaces, tasks, etc.

Asana is project management platform with a great support

Pros:

Asana is highly integrated with third party applications.

Cons:

Asana can offer a better pricing structure for long term.

Ready or not, Asana is here for you

Comments: Overall asana is a great tool, I’ve setup an account for every company I worked for the last few years and it has been a game changer ever since. I do have quite a few years of project management experience so it is quirky and exciting for me to use this tool. I recommend teams looking to implement dedicate an internal or external PM to setup the tool for your company’s internal teams by understanding what current challenges they face when providing status updates on projects. This tool needs atleast 90 days to really get it setup for companies with 150 employees or less but will become an instant hit if you dedicate the resources to get it started

Pros:

Asana is a great tool for the type A project manager or teams that enjoy craft organizational tools with a twist. Asana has a TON of different customizations such as creating rules for tasks once the completion date has been reached or allowing you to assign a collaborator to a child tasks with a parent action

Cons:

Since there are so many custom tool options it may motivate teams to delay the initial setup of the tool to make it work for your industry or line of project tasks and milestones

Integrating Asana For Workflow Efficiency

Comments: It makes our workflow much, much easier and communication much more effective. Our design team is able to stay aligned through their simplified interface, which makes it very simple to track tasks and deadlines. But there have been some occasional glitches, but these are generally minor and do not impede on our productivity.

Pros:

Its very convenient to use task management system in Asana and seamless integration make it a hit. Customizable templates allow the workflows to be tailored to specific projects and help teams to be more efficient. Asana continuous collaboration features help its team members communicate instantly, get updates, and track progress without any hiatus, and it is a powerful choice for product designers.

Cons:

Asana has its strengths but could use a couple of extra bells and whistles, as far as reporting goes, which would give a bit deeper knowledge about project timelines and resource allocation. Additionally, the mobile app's UI needs to be cleaner and more streamline in order to execute the navigation, in which the user can even perform the tasks easily on the go.

Indispensable tool for larger projects

Comments: I used Asana for various projects in private and business context. Especially in larger teams or teams with agile workflow Asana is a huge help.

Pros:

Easy project management with a variety of tools that support with planning and tracking. Easy collaboration and nice views for better insights in current status and ongoing tasks. The comment sections makes it easy to ask questions to other team members.

Cons:

Free plan has some limitations. Unfortunately, they discontinued the "free for students" offer. This is a huge drawback since I used to teach my students some advanced aspects of project management using Asana Premium features as an example.

Asana - your one step shop to collaborative work environments.

Comments: It has been incredible beneficial interface for our organization and has personally helped me a ton to stay on task and focus on the most important tasks first.

Pros:

Asana is a great tool for any business that works within multiple levels. We use it across our organization to stay involved and collaborative. It's been so beneficial to have immediate feedback from team members about projects.

Cons:

Sometimes switching between companies/jobs is a bit clunky. There isn't a whole lot to complain about when using it, however.

Great for Project Management across a remote team

Comments: Used widely amongst the team across all areas of the business with vary levels of full engagement. We initially had all the company goals mapped out and had these filtering down into various teams sub goals, but then realised several of the teams weren't using the platform to record in this way, so we downgraded and allow the teams who love it to use it in the way that best suits them.

Pros:

As a project management tool it's strong - lots of really simple to use layouts and project templates so no PM experience required to get started. It's reporting functionality is great too, and goal setting is really useful to the team.

Cons:

The price. We'd love to go for the biggest plan but for a start up it's hard to justify the full cost if only certain teams are adopting it. It can get expensive pretty quickly.

Asana Collaboration as a powerful engine

Comments: The ease of use, together with highly advanced collaborative features, have revolutionized how we engage content. It has cut down emails and minimized their chiming with more efficient ways of giving an individual a task, due date, and feedback at once.

Pros:

Asana sets apart from the competition, where it offers Timeline, which is a perfect display of project layout to identify causes for delays.

Cons:

Perhaps one of Asana’s weaknesses is its search ability. It is difficult to locate particular activities or discussions, particularly when a project comprises many tasks.

A powerful tool but might be too much for small teams/businesses

Comments: Overall it's a great app, I think it's just not for me. But I can see why so many businesses use it. It's powerful and capable.

Pros:

Asana has a sleek modern interface, is used by many companies, and offers a wide range of tools for task and project management.

Cons:

For me personally, Asana always felt like too much to handle. With a lot of tasks on my plate as both an employee and manager using Asana on multiple different occasions, I always felt like the app offers way too much for me to comprehend with my busy schedule and limited resources.

Simple yet fully effective

Comments: Excellent and I couldn't see our company wanting to replace the software. The other thing to mention is that I am sure there resolution services are good however we have never needed to contact them in the years that we have been a customer. The software never seems to glitch which is unheard of.

Pros:

It is so effortless to use. Instead of software trying to justify its cost by making things more complicated than it needs to be, asana just allows you to tailor exactly the internal sheets you need so you can collaborate easily with a widespread team.

Cons:

The only downside with Asana is just its level of integration with other software that we use on a daily basis. We knew that Asana didn't integrate with the software we wanted it too but decided that it was still worth implementing within our business.

Asana works well when you make it work for you

Comments: I have a positive experience with Asana! I have yet to find the perfect software in general, so it of course is not without its minor flaws. I'd highly recommend this product.

Pros:

If you know how to use Asana and all of its features, then it can work wonders for your team. Asana is helpful for tracking shared tasks on a team-level, such as a team that is planning an annual event with multiple tasks, deadlines, and departments (marketing and sponsorships, event logistics, registration management, etc.). Your team's Asana can consist of multiple "Projects", with sub-categories within each project for your individual tasks. Tasks can be assigned to as few or as many teammates as you'd prefer, and can be set to reoccurring or one-time only. Tasks can move between sub-categories and between projects. Our team also uses Asana for weekly team meetings, where we check off each task as an agenda item, and will sometimes turn an agenda item into a task on someone's to-do list, adding a due date and moving the task to a relevant project.

Cons:

Sometimes, the functionality and innerworkings of Asana can be rather complex for a team's comprehension. With some training and sharing of best practices, teams can truly make Asana work for them. The cons of Asana lie more with the users, as everyone needs to be on the same page on using Asana and how the team specifically wants to manage tasks. Every team has their own preferences. Also, as someone who represents multiple non-profit organizations in my job and has multiple emails/aliases, it can also be challenging if you have already created an Asana account with one email. There is a way to merge all your Asana "teams" into one log-in, but it is difficult to do so if you have already created an Asana log-in.

Asana is a highly approachable project management platform

Comments: I was introduced to Asana four years ago by a director I was working with. We used it to track our marketing projects. Since then I've used Asana with two other teams, and each time I've joined a new team the platform quickly became indispensable to our project management. It's how I plan my day, update my clients on projects and collaborate with team members.

Pros:

Using Asana is intuitive. It's so easy to pick up. Especially once you find the task view you prefer. I like using the Calendar and Gantt views, but there's something for everyone. It also is a great system of record for projects. The whole team can connect on a project's overall progress but also on its details, and the ability to add hyperlinks and attach docs to tasks keeps everything in one place, which is indispensable for successfully managing bigger projects.

Cons:

I don't dislike anything about Asana, but I've used different tiers of Asana throughout the years and am currently using a tier that doesn't include the ability to set a project's status. I miss that feature.

Harnessing Fostered and Elegant Cloud TM, PM and Team Management

Comments: Dependable and reliable online task, team and project management tool.

Pros:

Robust hierarchical scheduling, planning, organising and prioritising in accordance to urgency of need. Team communication via instant messaging and file sharing. Online services and products promotion.

Cons:

No need to deceive prospects, nothing to register on cons section.

Can’t live without it!

Comments: I would call my experience with Asana a game-changer. I would also call it an “industry changer”, because I have seen the impact it has had on productivity in both companies I have worked for that implemented Asana into their workflow. I don’t know how the current company where I work could run if it didn’t have Asana. And I know for a fact I wouldn’t be able to do my job without it.

Pros:

I like that the capabilities are endless for how you can set up projects and processes to work best for your specific company or team. I also love that, on a daily basis, I discover some new way that Asana can make my job more efficient and streamlined.

Cons:

Changing the “time” in the due date field is a little wonky if you are trying to type it in and not use the drop-down. But that’s the only minor annoyance I have.

Why Asana is the Best for Instant Messaging, Live Chat and PPM

Pros:

Asana has a wide range of features that streamlines business task management, team collaboration and file sharing in real-time.

Cons:

I am experiencing zero flaws on my end when using Asana ever since the vendor fixed the bug I was encountering on my iOS App.
