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.

It is a very complete software, it is what I like the most, besides being very easy to use, it gives a very positive dynamics to the management of projects in the company. Its use is very simple. It has a very intuitive and really attractive interface. Tools to add tasks, along with their description, also has notifications and reminders, to know the due date of the task or project.
Really nice experience, we didn't have any kind of inconvenience.
The best thing is that it is a tool that increases group performance, absolutely improves organization in the company. I liked that it has a lot of syncs. It is very easy to add tasks and subtasks, it also has a schedule to keep everything well organized.
The user management is amazing it has allowed us to assign tasks from a general project and also see each user that is registered within the project. It has also allowed us to review the activity history of each employee. We were also able to automate the creation of Gantt charts when needed.
Sometimes Asana is not so useful for organized file storage, as you have to have a microscopic view at times to review the files that can be stored in each task, making it tedious to use. All this can be improved thanks to some update they decide to implement in the future we need integration with notes as a whole and different types of media for project organization.
We were able to perform collaborations using a limited project capacity which gave us a project tracking with time zone structure and complex team structures. We have been able to plan a logistical execution for each project individually and also plan the time in which it will be developed.
Creating a project and adding tasks to the project is very easy. The user interface and design are very professional. It is easy to use the card as a task. Furthermore, adding sections to a project, defining the task deadline, change the sequence of the tasks, assigning task to someone, and then mark this task as completed is very easy.
Nothing much in Asana that could be disliked. It is a great tool that can be used by any professional for managing their day-to-day activities and tasks.
Asana has helped us in managing our day-to-day tasks in an efficient and collaborative manner. It has helped the project managers to look into the current statuses of tasks their team member is involved. On the other hand, it has also given the power to the project managers to dynamically add, remove, or align order of the tasks of their team and projects.
I like it because it is really easy to handle and it simplifies all your work, it is an excellent assistant for tasks, I love that I can give a total follow-up to my tasks and projects, from the organization to the notifications of the deadline, I love it the application, and the functionality of each tool, is a very powerful software.
There is nothing I don't like about the software, we had no problems while using it.
It is very practical when using it, it is the best of all, besides that it has allowed us to save a lot of time, since it gives us a more complete organization when carrying out tasks and projects, tasks can be easily created and subtasks added, software fascinates me.
Managing group tasks was always affected when doing it remotely or when there was a lack of communication between group members. Asana seeks to eradicate this gap by making it possible to edit these tasks or projects, make comments and everything related to them, sending notifications of these modifications to the members of this working group.
On a visual level, it presents few options when a person wants to personalize their workspace, making them feel that space is a bit alien to them.
It helps the team leader to have an overview of the progress made by the work group in real time. It makes the allocation of projects to be done within the established time parameters, since it really helps the work to be done more quickly and efficiently, integrating the different points or work fronts of each of its users as a whole, increasing the productivity of this group.
I love using Asana everyday. It makes managing my tasks so much easier. It's a really intuitive and easy to use tool. It allows you to prioritize your tasks and keep track of everything that's happening. It's useful especially when several people are working on one single task, everybody can comment and you can assign the task to someone who can then assign it to you when he's done.
I wouldn't say there is anything I dislike. It's easy and useful. There are some features I don't use but what I used so far has been great and working perfectly well, so no problem.
Basically it's just saving a lot of time in terms of task management. When I open Asana, I know exactly what I have to do, by when and I see where we're at already and who's done what so far. It's easy to just comment what you've done, give the task to someone else while still being notified of any changes.
Asana handles very good collaboration tools. Each member of the team is able to receive updates in real time and without any delay as each task is developed. It also allows the sending of messages within the same platform with its integrated chat. The integrations with Google and Slack are incredible.
Sometimes some tasks cannot be found and have to be closed and logged out so that they can appear and it makes us particularly lose time. You have to find a way to prioritize some projects and Asana doesn't allow you to mark them. The free version limits the process a lot.
It has allowed us to provide guidance within the program itself. We improve the individual follow-up of both temporary and long-term projects. We were able to track many applications that we gave as lost.
Asana lets you create tasks that you are currently working on, and all your team members are able to see what you are working on. This platform worked so well for our SEO team because we have so many tasks to complete that it was hard to keep track of them all. Asana had came to the rescue and organized our team. We have different subjects tasks that are the main "favorites" and then we organized our tasks into columns with wording like "to do", or "in progress". It helps us understand where we currently are with projects.
There is not much to dislike about Asana. It is a very great platform to use for a marketing/seo team. The Seo team at our company benefited so much from Asana that the Marketing Team joined in on the platform as well.
With Asana we are able to solve a lot of back end problems with our site. We are able to quickly jot down something that we need to fix within seconds and then it's easy for the whole team to remember what needs to be done. The benefits are also adding "collaborators" because then everyone is notified when a new task is created and who is assigned to what. Have a In-progress column also is a great reminder to what work you need to complete and if you are running out of time for your deadline lets say.
I LOVE checking those tasks off. It's super organized and being able to sort by project is fantastic.
That it costs $ after a certain number of members and certain add-ons cost extra. But the free version is quite nice too.
Task management is solved! It's so much easier to make a to-do list and stay organized using Asana.
Easy interface. Even provide insights on tasks and projects when completing it. Good for collaboration within huge team.
Its price is costly for startup where there's less capital to invest in a project/process management tool.
It has helped our organisation develop the project management system dramatically. Many of our projects have multiple complicated phases, but teamwork makes mapping and management simple.
Asana's many views, tags, and fields for project organization put it at the top of my list for project management software. I love using the calendar view for a social media calendar.
I wish the interface was more customizable with better color schemes and backgrounds.
The biggest problem I solve is being able to see a month's worth of content and having that data available to compare to previous months, and even year-to-year. Overall it's improved my social media calendar and content strategy tenfold.
great team tool in the workplace to stay organized and not to allow nothing fall through the cracks
slight learning curve to familiarize yourself with the process of creating tasks
keeping track of projects,following up with team on the progress and status of a workflow
Easy to navigate, super user friendly; helps keep track of all to do’s in a reasonable way.
I have difficulty convincing my coworkers to join me.
This helps be better track and manage my to do’s both from a 30,000 foot view and from a close up view.
Task tracking, reminders, categorization
Nothing as for now. It's all good. It has actually helped us get organized.
Daily Task management and planning
Asana is very customizable for your needs, we often export our previous quarter checklist to Excel and then edit it for the current quarter so we can upload and roll forward our lists very easily. We add a lot of columns to ensure that the tasks that are completed have the right reviewer, that we know whether to alert upper management to any of our conclusions, and whether we need to send certain items to the auditors once complete.
If a have multiple lists you can't merge.
During COVID-19, Asana has been essential to our team keeping on tasks and prioritizing the right things. We use it twice a week in our video conferences to ensure that all our team members are doing well and that no critical path tasks are being delayed. Although it's a little bit silly, we like too when different mythical creatures go across the screen when you mark off a task. I use it all the time to keep track of my tasks. Asana makes it easy to both manage those that report to you and manage upwards as well.
