Asana Reviews

Asana has the most effective project and task management tools from my experience. 

It tracks every workflow to ensure there is a smooth implementation process. 

It gives my team the work plan at a suitable cost and time for managing various set projects. 

In addition, it allows my team to share documents with my colleagues and record video clips on any ongoing project. Asana has established the best working criteria that identify critical projects and tasks and give them first priority. 

Collaboration and joint project implementation enable each party to access the full documentation and provide unbiased opinions.

Project managers can easily manage projects from a unified system at reduced costs and time-saving. The general UI shows progress and data analytics for all projects in progress. It also displays task lists, and calendar views with the aim of simplifying the job of monitoring and assessment team. 

The platform has an automated database that saves customers' data with a tag of the assigned project to enhance faster follow-up. The addition of other related backup tools like screenshots and documents is easy. 

The Asana team is very innovative, and their updates have matched most of the work done on daily basis.

The subtasks section enables employees in the organization to break and classify tasks for faster implementation and access. 

We were able to customize the application interface and set the drop-down menu to accommodate tasks and projects. 

Date and time tools ensure that tasks are completed on the set period before deadlines. All the features have the potential capabilities to perform their unique tasks, and we have been happy since we secured this software. The proofreading system ensures that we submit projects that are free from errors and rich in planned text.

Some updates are outdated, and their functionalities can affect the end outcomes. When a task is deleted before submission, it is not easier to locate it. The software just requires regular updates, and everything will be okay. I did not experience many performance challenges as we are able to implement projects and submit them to our clients on time. 

It is simple and more flexible to work with it from anywhere and achieve the set targets. I appreciate the vendor team for coming up with the basic solutions for handling any given task and project using Asana.

I've used the solution for two years.

There are few downtime cases.

The performance has been outstanding.

Customer support has been always available when we need them.

Positive

I have not used another project management software.

The setup process is simple.

The implementation took place through the vendor.

There has been positive ROI and increased business growth.

It is easy to set up and acquire the application.

I evaluated Wrike, however, I decided to settle on Asana.

The system is good and I have no complains.

We are using it for managing small and medium projects.

It is very good for managing the timeline. I'm a quality manager, and I have different testing projects running with different work breakdown structures. Asana makes it very easy to implement and monitor the plans. It is easy to move the tasks and complete them, break them down, and assign them to people.

Auto-shift is an essential feature for planning, but it's currently not there. It should have this feature so that when you move a task that depends on another task, the dates should be auto-shifted. For example, you have two tasks dependent on each other. When the parent task is moved or delayed, the child task should also be delayed, and the date should be shifted. When we have a very long timeline, it's very complex to go task by task and shift the dates on the task. Auto-shift is a fantastic and basic feature of project management, and having such a feature in Asana would make our lives much easier. If Asana added this feature, it would complete the suit and close the project management cycle because currently, there is a gap. 

I have been using this solution for a couple of years.

It is good from the stability point of view.

Because of the lack of the auto-shift feature, it is difficult to manage a complex project or complex timeline. For small and medium projects, it's a perfect tool, but for big or complex projects, Microsoft Project is suitable.

We have more than 50 people who use this solution.

I have contacted them many times. I contacted them regarding the auto-shift feature because, in the beginning, I thought it was something I didn't know. I had to integrate Asana with Freshdesk. We got another tool to make the integration happen, and after that, it was very easy to open a task through Asana. Their support was good. I would rate them a four out of five.

I used Microsoft Project. We switched because Asana was way easier. It doesn't have a learning curve like Microsoft Project. It is also cloud-based and cost-effective. 

It was very easy. I like it for that reason. There is no learning curve for understanding and enabling the tool.

Its price is fair. Its licensing cost is cheaper than Microsoft Project. I would rate it a two out of five in terms of pricing.

On the technical side, you should be able to learn it quickly. You can watch the videos on the Asana website. On the practical side, you should explore the feature of having custom columns because it's like magic. Being aware of the fact that you can add custom columns in your plan and use them for analysis and managing your project would make your life easier later on. So, at the initiation phase, it's very important to know that you have this capability.

I would rate it an eight out of ten. It is a very good tool. It is very easy to install and easy to learn, but if you have complex and big projects, you would have problems. If they add the auto-shift feature in future releases, my opinion will change, but currently, I would rate it an eight out of ten.

We use Asana as a project and task management tool. We assign tasks for each colleague of ours to do something in relation to our work. For example, it is a developer that needs to program something. I will put all the tasks there, assign them to him, and put my deadline, and the information that is needed. It provides a complete overview of all of the work that we do for our business operation and models in our company.

Asana provides a lot of options and a lot of customization to give the best efficient way for your business to operate. For example, I can customize my tasks, tables, and pipelines the way I want them to fit my business model. It's easy and highly customizable.

I have used Asana within the past 12 months.

The stability of Asana is good. However, there are some issues with maintenance, when the solution is down. For example, there might be maintained for a few hours where we cannot use the solution.

All the users in my company are using this solution.

Asana is simple to set up.

There is a free version of Asana, but we use the paid version to receive all the features we want. The overall price is reasonable.

I rate Asana a nine out of ten.

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.

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.

Basecamp

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 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.

We create tasks for other departments. We receive tasks from other departments or from account managers if they have any problem with the CRM problem or with the web page.

I like the way that Asana will put in the task. For example, if you change the styles of a task in progress, this task moves to the in-progress section. It's not a mess. It's very organized.

The solution scales well.

It's stable and the performance is good. 

I would like to add Asana to other email platforms. If you use Outlook, you can get an email. And since Asana is integrated into Outlook, you can connect this email to Asana, however, this is not so in other mail applications.

We'd like the capability to be able to set up weekly reminders.  Right now, in order to do this, we need to change the date every time. 

I've been using the solution for seven or eight months.

It's quite a stable product. there aren't bugs or glitches. it doesn't crash. It doesn't freeze. it's reliable and the performance is good.

It's very scalable. Even if you have more tasks coming in, it's easy to manage everything. It scales up and down, depending on your workload. 

There are more than 50 of us and we use it on a daily basis. That includes people from various departments, such as back-office, funding, operations, primary relations, business development, and developer marketing. Everything runs through Asana. 

We used to use Monday. I prefer the design and how to manage the tasks in Asana. Monday was really a mess. Asana is much better. The interface is better and I understand the layout a bit more. 

I was not a part of the initial setup. I came after it was up and running. 

I'd recommend the solution to others. It's easy to handle Asana and manage your tasks.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

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.
