Asana Reviews

I am using Asana for documents.

This solution has helped our company because we do not have to worry about losing our information.

The most valuable feature of Asana is the tracking of comments and documents in one place.

I have been using Asana for approximately five years.

Asana is stable.

The solution scales well.

Most of the people in my company are using this solution. We have plans to increase our usage in the future.

I rate the support from Asana a four out of five.

I did not use another solution prior to Asana.

The initial setup of Asana is straightforward.

We did the implementation of the solution in-house.

I have received a return on investment from using Asana.

The price of the solution is reasonable.

I rate the price of Asana a four out of five.

One person can manage the maintenance of this solution. This is a good solution, and I would recommend it.

I rate Asana a nine out of ten.

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're using Asana for project planning with our customers. We created a company team in Asana, and we also created a customer team in Asana. We define the tasks and use the software for project management.

What I like most about Asana is its simplicity. For example: we're not the only ones using it, and we onboard our customers to it, and normally, they have no questions.

I'm not an expert on Asana. I'm only a user, and it does exactly what we want it to do. We are really happy with the software, so currently, there's no area for improvement.

On the development side for technical project management, Asana is missing features. We only use it for discussing tasks and strategies, and we use it for customer to-do lists. It doesn't have the source code integration that Jira and Jira Service Desk both have. We have Jira deployed on-premises for our development department. Our technical project management is on Jira, while our general project management is on Asana.

I've been using Asana for three years.

Currently, I cannot tell how stable Asana is, because it's cloud-based.

I haven't seen very good scalability in Asana, because it's cloud-based.

I never had to contact technical support for Asana.

We use other solutions in parallel to Asana such as Jira and Jira Service Desk. We're using all three solutions.

There's no setup involved because we're using the cloud-based version of Asana. I just give them my email address and I register, then I'll have the software running. Though if I have to configure new projects on Asana, doing that is easy.

I'm just a user of Asana, but when it comes to firewalls, I'm an expert.

We're using the cloud-based version of the software, not the on-premises version. It's the latest version because we didn't do an on-premises installation. We're using their past service, the cloud-based offering from Asana. Our cloud provider is Asana.

The number of users of the software highly varies. We're using it project-based, so my colleagues would be working with ten customers today, then tomorrow we'll have another project. 

My advice to others looking into using Asana is to start with the cloud version, because I really don't know much about their on-premises version.

I'm rating Asana 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 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 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.

Our marketing team has four people who use it exclusively for marketing projects.

There is one super-user/administrator who is a marketing coordinator and is in charge of setting up projects and assigning tasks. The rest of us operate within the framework she has established.

The ability to share projects and tasks among team members appears to be the most valuable feature.

For large teams, scalability should be improved.

I used it on a client engagement three years ago, and have recently adopted it for our internal project. I've been using it again for two months.

We haven't seen any issues with the stability of Asana. It has been working, and everything is fine.

I am not sure about the scalability of Asana. 

If I were to scale it, I believe it is more of a team solution for a small team or an individual.

I don't see it as something that you would want to apply to a large team within an enterprise.

It appears to be best suited for a small or, medium-sized team.

Some organizations use it more widely, but I am not sure how that would work.

This solution is used by our marketing team.

I have not contacted technical support. I haven't had to deal with them.

This solution is great. I have tried a few other work management, and project management solutions and this one is the best for my requirements.

The initial setup was completely straightforward, and simple. 

We had no trouble understanding the functionality or configuring it to meet our needs. It has been a very positive experience.

The deployment is extremely easy. We are releasing it to people as they come on board, and they are adapting to it very well.

The administrator is in charge of deploying and maintaining the solution, as well as keeping it up to date.

I wasn't involved in the acquisition. I am not aware of any pricing details.

The key to successfully utilizing this project management tool is to be very clear about how it is set up, to have someone in charge of creating projects to avoid duplication and to have some ground rules around the configuration. Otherwise, it could inevitably turn into a bunch of individual task lists. There are many individual to-do list apps available, as such you don't need an app like this for that.

It all comes down to being very clear. This is a project collaboration app for teams, and for a team to collaborate on a project, there must be general agreement on what the project is, what the stages are, what the deliverables are, and so on.

I'm still exploring how to use it properly. I'm not the best person to inquire about new features, but it's very impressive, and I'm discovering a lot of great features and capabilities as I use it.

I would rate Asana a nine out of ten.

I use it as a project management tool and as my day-to-day tool to capture and plan out my work.

It has business and professional editions. Currently, I am using the professional edition. I am using the latest version of this solution.

It has helped our organization. Everyone is kind of using the same software. Instead of having an Excel sheet here or a Word document there to capture work, we have everything in one system.

It is pretty comprehensive when it comes to the different views that it gives you. It gives you a Gantt chart view, calendar view, board view, and list view. It is kind of helpful to have different types of views and see how it views your different tasks. I appreciate being able to do that.

The biggest thing is that it is extremely user friendly. Asana is pretty intuitive. Someone who is not tech-savvy can kind of catch on quickly. It is better than other tools like Smartsheet. Some of the other tools like Microsoft Project and Excel are great tools, but you have to invest a lot of time to learn them, which is not the case with Asana.

There could be some improvements in terms of how projects or day-to-day work is organized.
One of the challenges when it comes to rolling out to an enterprise is the way the projects are organized. It has a kind of setup where you have different projects and tasks, but it is not as organized as Smartsheet when it comes to organizing projects or different teams. It can get really cluttered really fast.

JIRA has another suite to submit the support tickets. It would be good if Asana could branch out to incorporate some kind of workflow. It is great for collaboration and recording work, but there isn't any workflow. It would be useful if they can map out a workflow of who approves what. This is kind of a big ask, and it is not geared towards that.

I have been using Asana for the last three months.

It is stable. I don't know about any bugs or issues at the moment.

I have scaled it a little bit, but I haven't scaled it to fit the complete enterprise. I have mostly scaled it for a couple of teams using it. It was easy for small teams, but scaling it when you get to tens of thousands might be a challenge. It is great for small-sized and medium-sized businesses. 

Currently, we have just a few users. We have a data scientist, a technologist, and a manager.

They have a really good customer experience team. I would give them a solid ten out of ten. They provide really good tech support, and they are very responsive. They set up a call with you and walk you through it. I appreciate that.

I used Excel. I switched to Asana because it is easier for most people to kind of see it live how the work is progressing. With Excel, you have to save the work, and someone else has to open it up, whereas, with Asana, it is live. That's the major takeaway in terms of capturing work.

The initial setup is straightforward.

It has a free version.

I would suggest looking through their knowledge base. They have a really good knowledge base for different use cases. I would even recommend trying out the trial, which is available for one month. With any tool, you just need to know what your specific needs are. 

I would rate Asana an eight out of ten because I'm still learning how to use it. It is not a tool that covers everything. It is good for my purpose, and that right now is just tracking the work and collaborating with other folks.
