Asana Reviews

I use Asana to create portfolios, tasks, and subtasks and collaborate with others. It is integrated into my daily workflow, where when a new task is assigned to a project, we note it, set up starting and due dates and completion dates, and assess complexity and workload indicators.

The dashboard is the most valuable feature because other features are more or less common with similar platforms. The dashboards are really insightful and easy to use.

The main dashboard, where there is a list, needs improvement. It should have some memory because if you navigate back and forth, it does not show your last position. It should remember where you were, so it returns you to the same part of the list, instead of the first item, to avoid losing flow.

I have been working with Asana for about six months.

During the initial setup, I found it was close to easy, rating it a nine out of ten.

I would rate Asana eight out of ten overall.

We use the solution to create some tasks. Each task is assigned to somebody here.

The way it handles the task is good. The whole team needs to organize all our tasks using Asana. It helps to clarify and allows us to prioritize tasks effectively.

The solution could have a bigger pop-up when someone assigns a task or have a notification similar to Facebook, where you see a number indicating the notifications you receive. This way, you can see the notification when you use Asana. Perhaps a larger notification or a different color could make it easier for everyone to identify that they have a task assigned.

I have been using Asana for a year. We are using the desktop version of the solution.

The solution is scalable.

Technical support is very useful.

Positive

The initial setup is straightforward. 20 members, including the manager, were involved in the development.

I rate the initial setup an eight out of ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy.

The pricing is reasonable. We paid and received equal functionality.

I recommend the solution. You can view and manage your tasks, assign each task to the appropriate team member, and track the progress and status of each task.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

The solution is a task management app. It is good for project management.

The tool has a lot of integrations. It’s popular and has good task management features.

The messaging feature could be better.

I've never had challenges with the product’s stability. For the period we used it, it was stable.

The tool is scalable, but we have to remember that we have to pay for it. Our organization had a team of 15 to 20 people using the solution. A project manager managed the solution. We did not need a developer.

The initial setup was straightforward. I come from a technical background. Everything is straightforward for me. The setup was very simple. We had to download the app and add the tasks.

We deployed the tool in-house. We just have to sign up and download the app to deploy the solution. If we want to use the cloud version, we can get on the website and add users and tasks. It is that simple.

My organization would have seen a return on investment in the solution. If they didn’t, they would have stopped using it.

We paid a monthly licensing fee for the product.

Bitrix24 is pretty fast, but Asana is fine too. Asana is better than Trello as a task manager.

Asana is good at what it does. However, I still prefer Bitrix24 over Asana. People looking to use the solution must go ahead and use it. It is not a bad tool. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.

For our company, we use Asana for project management. Since my company caters to a lot of enterprise clients, ticket management services are based on the preferred choice of our clients.

I lead a team of software developers in my company, so we use Asana for sprint planning, allocating tasks, monitoring bugs, and a few more tasks.

Asana launched a dashboard a year ago. What I like the most about Asana is its API integrations because we use a lot of cluttered toolsets in our company since we need to cater to different clients, for which its integration gives us a lot of flexibility. We use Notion for the documentation, whereas we use Asana for the task, and we have written many automation scripts for our benefit.

The mobile application of Asana has to be improved a lot because no one wants to do a complete project management task on mobile. While on my mobile phone, I would like to get an update quickly or a short task notification so that I don't forget anything, for which the mobile interface is very clumsy.

I don't have anything related to the additional features required in the solution on top of my mind because my company hasn't even used 50 percent of the tool's feature set. We have customized the tool based on our processes. We are using whatever we need in the tool, so I don't have any suggestions for adding features to Asana.

I have been using Asana for two and a half years. I am just a user of the solution.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten since I haven't faced any challenges regarding the product's stability.

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten since I haven't faced any challenges regarding the product's scalability, and our company hasn't explored its scalability involving a billion tasks.

I have a 45-member team working under me using Asana.

The solution's technical support is not very prompt or strong, which may be because they have to reach out to a lot of users. Though we only got the opportunity to interact with the product's technical support team once or twice, our experience was not good. We weren't happy with the technical support team because of the response time they took to provide us with a solution to our issue, and we had only reached out to the support team since we had no clue on how to resolve the issue in the product. We were expecting experts from Asana's technical support team to resolve the issue within an hour, but it took them 48 hours to resolve it.

ClickUp and Jira are part of the project management tools we use in our company.

The ease or complexity of Asana's initial setup process depends on the use cases for which the product is chosen. The initial set of phases can be a no-brainer for a simple project creation or for some setup using an existing project template. In our company, we use Asana for Complex use cases, like getting it integrated into a dashboard from Notion or a ticketing system from Jira, for which we need a bit of technical intervention.

The solution is deployed on the cloud.

The internal team in my company, who reports to me, managed the initial setup phase of the product.

I can describe Asana's pricing as a sweet spot since it is neither very high nor very low, especially regarding the value Asana adds to its products. I like the flexibility provided in Asana's pricing policies. In our company, we use 50 percent of the features provided by Asana, because of which we only pay 50 percent of Asana's total cost.

I recommend the product to its other potential users.

I rate the overall product a nine out of ten.

Asana is highly beneficial for extended projects that require a strategic approach. It allows us to dissect these projects into numerous tasks and effectively prioritize them based on their deadlines. Moreover, Asana facilitates seamless collaboration across various departments, emphasizing the significance of time management and strategic thinking. Additionally, it aids in allocating resources within my team, ensuring efficient execution of the pertinent project.

Asana, despite its compact size, proves to be incredibly valuable. When initiating a project, it offers the ability to generate a personalized form for clients. In this particular context, my clients include the customer success team and solution architects. This feature allows me to provide them with a convenient means to submit their requests, resembling a ticketing system geared towards internal operations. Moreover, it enables efficient allocation within my team. For instance, if a question pertains to customer success, I can assign it to the CSOps manager and the team. Similarly, if it relates to a specific channel, it can be allocated accordingly.

Additionally, Asana allows for allocation across different projects, providing excellent visibility for customers who submit tickets. They can view timelines and prioritize projects, promoting transparency. The system revolves around offering visibility, prioritization of tasks, and effective delegation within the team. Despite its simplicity, it encompasses the creation of project forms with various rules. These rules determine assignments based on request type and submitter, as well as priority levels set by team leaders. Overall, Asana's functionality in this regard is highly advantageous.

The documentation could be enhanced by incorporating more visually informative videos that demonstrate how to accomplish specific tasks. While Asana's community support is valuable for answering questions, finding precise answers often requires sifting through multiple posts. Having concise and explanatory videos would greatly improve the user experience. When searching on platforms like Google, there are many individuals sharing their approaches to using Asana. However, the information provided is often not directly applicable to one's specific needs. Therefore, it would be advantageous to have comprehensive video tutorials that address common user queries. This would provide a more efficient and intuitive way of accessing information, especially when it comes to learning how to navigate and utilize Asana's features effectively.

Asana offers a variety of view formats that provide different levels of visibility. These include board view, list view, timeline view, and dependency view. For a single project, you can explore multiple views depending on your objectives. If you're working on a long-term project, you may prefer the timeline view to track your progress and have a macro-level overview of where you stand. On the other hand, for more granular tasks, the board view can be helpful in monitoring the progress and visualizing how things are advancing. The choice of view is not merely a feature selection but rather a decision based on the visibility it offers for your specific needs.

I have been using Asana within the last 12 months.

The solution is stable.

I rate the stability of Asana an eight out of ten.

We have a few hundred people using this solution in my organization.

I rate the scalability of Asana a seven out of ten.

I did not contact the vendor's support.

I did not use other solutions similar to Asana.

I did not evaluate other solutions before Asana. It was always deployed in my company when I started working.

I would recommend Asana to others.

I rate Asana an eight out of ten.

As a consultant, I use Asana to ensure that I organize all my clients and the tasks I have to do for them. I have around ten different projects every week, so Asana is essential to help me manage everything. Additionally, I help companies implement Asana and many of them are agents who need a tool to organize their projects with their clients.

Asana is accessed through a website.

The main challenge for me or my client is to prioritize all the tasks. Asana can help us set deadlines, establish good practices in our industry, and manage the workflow. If we have ten people, we can check who is busy and who is free to assign work. We can also use Asana to set different business goals and link to our projects.

My task box displays all of our tasks, organized by day, helping us to focus on what needs to be done each day.

The documentation for integration could be improved. We require more information to facilitate the integrations.

I have been using the solution for three years.

I give the stability a ten out of ten. Asana is super stable and reliable.

The solution is scalable. The only delay is when a new person is added to Asana they must be invited to all the different areas and that takes some time.

I give the scalability an eight out of ten.

The technical support is not very reactive and can take around four days to get a response but they do always resolve our issues.

Neutral

I use Asana and Monday.com. Monday.com is more flexible and we can easily automate and integrate. Asana is more stable, user-friendly, and easier to navigate.

I give the initial setup an eight out of ten. The solution is highly adaptable for integration. The full deployment for a small company takes two months.

Before deploying, we consult with our clients to understand their requirements. We typically begin the project on-site and review each step with the client via phone. Once we have established the processes and workflow, we can set up Asana and ensure that everything is functioning correctly. The final step is to train the rest of the organization on how to use Asana. We typically use three to four people for deployments.

We implement the solution on-premises for our clients.

Asana is worth the money because it will save us time by making information easily accessible. I think with a conservative estimate, everyone can save two hours per week, but the reality is likely closer to four hours per week. This extra time can be used to work on more client projects and produce more, resulting in more money earned.

Compared to other solutions on the market, Asana is a bit expensive. The cost is $25 US per unit per month.

There will be no additional cost for standard use. However, due to the limited number of integrations available, we may incur additional costs to ensure that we can integrate other tools with Asana.

I give the solution a ten out of ten.

When an organization is using Asana in its enterprise or team, many people will be using the solution. It is important that they collaborate and work together to ensure the goal of the solution is achieved, which is to improve collaboration. If only a few people are involved in the setup process, it is likely that the other people will use Asana differently, resulting in a chaotic and worse situation than before. Therefore, it is advised that the team work together to decide how they want to use the solution.

We are a software company and we have many different software projects with 10 to 15 developers working on each project. We use to Asana to manage each project, for team collaboration and to assign tasks to the team. Basically, we use Asana for project management and collaboration.

We have not used Asana on our private server. We have only been using the cloud solution. We need an on premise solution for government agencies. This would be an improvement if this was possible.

We have been using this solution for six years. 

This is a stable solution. So far we have faced not any problem with the system slowing down or lagging. 

We have 150 full-time employees in our organization and for our use case, Asana is sufficient. We don't know if we can handle over 500 or 1000 users at the same time. We have not tried yet.

The initial setup is straightforward. It was just a few clicks to get started and to integrate Asana into our existing business system. It took 15 days to fully implement our projects using Asana.

We have a monthly subscription.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten. 

I have used Asana while working at an e-commerce agency while working on creative projects and creating content like ads for Amazon or Walmart Connect. We used Asana to keep individuals within the agency updated on projects, even if they do not work within the creative team. 

When I worked at Claire's stores as a digital project manager for their internal digital creative team, we used Asana for different departments to log requests for creative projects. We also used it to manage the projects within the digital team. 

Asana allows you to create your own project with sub sections with subtasks that can be assigned. The feature I really love is that you can tag people to notify them that there has been progress on a project as well as add attachments. It is a central depository for everything. It is also really useful that you can add people outside your organization to projects you are working on. 

The use of Asana can be restricted if it is not set it up the right way. In some instances, there were subtasks where more than one person needed to review it, but I could only assign it to one person. I would have to create a subtask under a subtask and then assign it to other people. This could be improved. 

I have been using this solution for a year and a half. 

I used Basecamp and JIRA prior to Asana coming out. JIRA is used more for software developers or backend development projects.

The initial setup was complex because the onboarding is not done correctly. This is due to the fact that we are short staffed and did not have time to be trained. Once we had spent more time using the solution, it was easier to use and understand.  

This solution is reasonably priced. 

I would highly recommend Asana as I think it's a great tool. It is really easy to use once you are trained on it. It really helped me effectively manage projects and improve productivity and efficiency. It has a lot of options from an integration perspective with other platforms.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
