Asana Reviews

We primarily use the product for managing our partner plans and partner deals.

The ease at which to create new projects is great. That's the main reason we use it.

It's a very straightforward setup.

The solution appears to be quite stable.

They offer a free version that we are able to use without cost.

Nothing is missing in terms of features at the moment.

You need to have a plan going in or it might be hard to use. You need to have an action plan, otherwise, it won't be as effective.

I've been using the solution for a year and a half.

My impression is that the solution is stable. We haven't had problems with bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze.

We only deployed it to six people. In terms of its full scalability potential, I'm unsure. We've never really tried to expand it.

All of our users are in sales and marketing.

At this point in time, we have no plans for expanding usage.

I haven't used technical support. I cannot speak to how helpful or responsive they are.

We used Excel previously. We needed something that was easier for everybody to access and therefore we moved over to this.

The initial setup is very straightforward and simple. It's not a complex process. 

Each project takes one to two hours to set up.

It's cloud-based. Once in a while, we'll have a new project and we'll go through the setup process for it. Being cloud-based also means there's no maintenance required. It's all very easy.

We handle everything ourselves. We do not need the assistance of outside help.

We use the free version of the solution at this time. We do not need to pay for it.

I'm a customer and an end-user.

We are using the latest version of the solution.

I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten. We're pretty happy with it overall.

I'd advise those considering Asana to go in with a plan. If you have a plan, it makes it easier to implement it. Don't just try and create it. Have a plan of what you want to organize, and it makes it very simple. As long as you've got a plan, it's an easy product to use.

Asana offers better communication within groups. I can create tasks and sub-tasks. Asana also gives me the option to delegate the tasks to my team, and it has helped us increase the productivity of our teams. My teams will get a notification on who is taking care of the tasks, and I can keep track of the tasks that are already finished. A level of urgency can be placed on each task so that my team can work faster, and they can work efficiently. 

Asana is an incredible help as it gives me the option to customize and compose each of my companies, and it lets me do it most efficiently. I immediately see amazing results in my tasks since the product’s framework has allowed combination and correspondence. This software can generate more efficient teamwork in my team. 

This product is versatile for an organization. It has elements that can be useful for my team and me, as it has capabilities that will suit our needs.

By using this software, I have adaptability in my work, and it can improve the production of our company.

The software also promotes a healthy back office management system that will benefit everyone in the company.

Marking projects/events complete as they happen is valuable. The fun animation makes every completed task feel like a win, and it makes using the tool more fun. Very helpful when doing something that is normally tedious.

With regard to project management, the ability for us to track our projects all in one place is very helpful. Transparency makes it easy for everyone to be on the same page.

• The inbox feature can be a little overwhelming if you are working with Asana just from its project boards and only checking it periodically. It would be great if it auto-cleared once a project/task is marked complete.
• Email notifications can get excessive. You have complete control over them but initially, they can be annoying until you set the frequency you want them. It would be better if this was set during the sign-up process.
• Notes, discussions, and attachments in subtasks sometimes go unnoticed if working from the main project board.

I have been using Asana for more than one year.

I did not use another solution prior to this one.

The initial setup of Asana is quite simple.

We deployed using our internal team.

• More work gets done by keeping everyone on task and giving management visibility on progress.
• Asana makes it simple to get people organized and on task for projects.
• Fewer meetings are required using Asana saving both time and money for the company.

The price of this solution makes it quite accessible, and the plans fit my budget.

No other options were evaluated before choosing Asana.

If you are working with a cross-functional team with multiple projects on the go regularly, Asana is a lifesaver. Everything can be shared in one place. Delegation is a breeze. Communication happens in real-time. 

This product is well suited for teams where different folks are collaborating on assignments and there needs to be a clear outline as to who is working on what. It helps set very transparent expectations for progress and follow up. It may not be necessary for non-collaborative environments.

The visual thumbnails for viewing appended image files to a project are very helpful.

For certain clients, this is a cost effective means of inviting outsourced resources to contribute to specific projects.

When evaluating project management software, the fundamental requirement I consider remains its ability to provide me a high level of view of all areas of the project so I can drill down to what is immediately relevant.

Asana does an OK job of this, but not as good as some of the alternatives out there.

One year.

No, deployment is very straightforward.

No stability issues so far.

No scalability issues so far. Admittedly, clients that use this do not typically have data intensive projects.

For the free version, it does quite a lot so I would start there. Upgrade if the functionality is directly relevant to improving process efficiency for your organization.

For a free solution, it does provide a lot of value. As a paid solution, this can be an appropriate fit depending on the circumstance.

We are using this solution for project management and it is working great.

Asana has efficient and powerful features. I really like the way it works, keeping all of our projects on track. 

It is a well-suited platform for our organization that is providing effective services.

I love the way it monitors all of the current and past projects, and it sends notifications to keep everything on the track.

This solution has a learning curve, where it is initially difficult to use.

This is an effective project management tool.

While it was difficult to use in the beginning, it is now working great and giving wonderful results.

It is really an amazing product and I have nothing bad to say about this tool.

We primarily use it for task management and project management.

It is stable and easy to set up.

We tried, but we haven't been successful with it. If people don't have the training, it is not easy to use. You need to make sure that the people are trained to use the system. They can provide more resources in the form of webcasts and videos that people can use to train themselves and understand how to use it.

I have been using this solution for 18 months.

It is stable.

It should be scalable. We are a medium-sized enterprise.

I didn't use their support.

Its initial setup was easy.

We did it ourselves.

I would advise others to get into team training. It is not a one-man show. It should be a team exercise.

I would recommend it, but it needs a lot of support. The outcome can be very great, but it needs a lot of support.

I would rate it a six out of 10.

I use Asana daily to keep track of projects and tasks for myself and my team. Simple dashboard provides information at a glance - very helpful for keeping things moving in daily standing meetings.

Centralized project and task tracking keeps our teams accountable without progress and updates being lost in email or conversation.

If Gantt charts were implemented, this would be a near perfect project management solution.

Make sure to have your team download the app - great way to make sure things are updated on the go.

• My Tasks
• Due date timeline
• Co-op work
• Ability to comment

We've been able to improve our time management, making our efforts more efficient.

For me, this is a perfect product. I can't think of any improvements.

You can add pics and share them like any other remark or note.

Since we embedded  this product in our work flow allowed us to cut tasks just from the characterization process to the immediate scopes.

They should take more steps forward in all modules that relate to employees management. They have all the information so they should offer more advanced data mining tools, and even some simple tools such as task timer etc.

We had no deployment issues.

There have been no issues with the stability.

We have had no issues scaling this for our needs.

They always keep the feel of being in a Beta version, and every new feature requires money. 

Don't lose touch with your old methods, because this find product hasn't yet defined itself, so you can't count and adapt it completely. I would wait until the interface and the services bank will fulfill their potential.
