With Asana, my team can stay on track

5.0 2 months ago

Comments: I prefer easy-to-use, not-overwhelming productivity applications. That's exactly what Asana is accomplishing with its beautiful interface, which allows me to accomplish far more without feeling overwhelmed.

Pros:

Simple task creation and flexible dashboard view options are two of my favorite features. Moreover, I appreciate how it provides a concise summary of your accomplishments so that you can evaluate your efficiency at a look. If you're a night owl like me, the option to switch to dark mode while you work is fantastic.

Cons:

The sheer number of options might be overwhelming, especially if some of the buttons or sections aren't clearly labeled or explained. For the more advanced features, we require an onboarding process that incorporates a YouTube tutorial video.

Easy to use and quite straightforward

3.0 3 years ago

Comments: The first thing I find it very useful is that it helps a lot to manage my time and set priorities for different tasks. Because of its ability to be in different projects features, it will be quite handy for the ones who involve in different teams of a company like HR, Project Management.

Pros:

It's quite easy to use and it has helped me a lot to keep track of my daily tasks. I find it very satisfying to complete the tasks right after i finish them. It is also handy for the management team to review everyone's tasks and how they're doing at the end of the day. It has already got essential features for task management even in free version, but I'd love to go premium later.

Cons:

I hope it could provide more features like insights and trends in free version. But it is still okay to see the general insights of your work.

Alternatives Considered: Trello

Reasons for Choosing Asana: Asana is more easy to use and looks better.

Organize and Manage Projects

4.0 2 weeks ago New

Comments: I've been using Asana for several months now, and overall, I find it to be a useful project management tool. The user-friendly interface and customizable features make it easy for me to organize and manage my tasks and projects. I also appreciate the mobile app, which allows me to stay on top of my tasks when I'm on the go. However, I did find Asana's learning curve to be steep when I first started using it. It took some time for me to learn how to use all the features effectively, and I still feel like I'm not using the software to its full potential. Additionally, I've noticed that Asana's reporting capabilities are somewhat limited, and some of the views are not highly customizable. I think Asana is a useful project management tool that can help teams stay organized and productive. However it's essential to carefully evaluate the software's pros and cons to determine whether it's the right fit for your specific project management needs and budget.

Pros:

I've been using Asana for my project management needs, and I must say that I am impressed with its user-friendly interface. The interface is easy to navigate and it has made it simple for me to create and manage my projects effectively. I also appreciate the customizability of Asana's features, which allows me to tailor my project management experience to my specific needs and preferences. Another great feature of Asana is its mobile app. It's user-friendly and allows me to manage my projects on the go, which is incredibly convenient. I can quickly check tasks and deadlines, assign tasks to team members, and receive updates all from my mobile device. I am very satisfied with Asana's project management tools, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a user-friendly, customizable, and mobile-friendly solution for managing their projects.

Cons:

Asana is a powerful project management tool, but it does have some drawbacks. One of the main issues that I've experienced with Asana is the steep learning curve. As a new user it can be challenging to learn and use the software, especially if you're not familiar with project management tools.Another issue I've faced is the limited integrations. Although Asana integrates with many apps and software, it doesn't integrate with all of the tools I use which can be inconvenient.Lastly, the price of Asana can be a barrier for small teams or businesses with limited budgets. It can be expensive to subscribe to Asana especially if you need to purchase multiple seats for your team.
