In my opinion, the best features Asana offers are task management and the options it has, such as blocking tasks, adding subtasks, stages, and comments. Those features are really useful for a company like ours.

Out of those features such as subtasks, stages, and comments, I find myself using subtasks the most. Whenever I start a project or get a task in our working field, there is no guarantee that the task will be very simple. Sometimes it can lead to multiple dependencies and multiple other things that we have to do in order to get the task done. Rather than showing it as a single task, the ability to add multiple subtasks into it gives us an ability to show that these things should be done in order to get this main thing done. I am working on this thing, and it will show that as a separate task. That is a really useful feature.

Regarding the task blocking feature, it is also important. If our work is blocked due to someone else's work, such as someone else not having completed a task and because of this we cannot start our task, Asana offers blocking options. There are start-to-end blocks, end-to-end blocks, end-to-start blocks, and start-to-start blocks. Asana has all of these and we can configure them. The other person who is blocking my task will also see that because they have not done their part, I have a blocked task. They will be prompted to work on it immediately. Those situations are very helpful in Asana.

Asana has impacted my organization positively because it manages all the task management. It acts as our task manager. It has saved a lot of time and made things very efficient. We do not have to call other people and ask how something is going or how long they need to complete a task. We do not have to contact everyone to see who is working on something. Asana has everything we need and presents it in a clear view. It has really made our organization very efficient.

The best features Asana offers, once you become familiar with the system, include clarity in view and tracking of questions. For instance, if information is requested from legal and they respond, a record is maintained to track all comments and keep everyone updated.

Having that clear view and record of communication helps the team day to day by allowing management and staff to see current statuses and responsibilities. It clarifies whose responsibility it is and identifies any hold-ups with legal or engineering tasks, which keeps the organization organized.

Asana has positively impacted the organization by providing clarity for everyone, allowing visibility into who is working on what, from the VP of Operations down to maintenance, ensuring necessary parts are available. It functions as a clearinghouse for all information.

Collaboration has greatly improved with Asana. There is no longer a need to chase down accounting or engineering for project updates because information can be checked through comments. File attachment and messaging capabilities between different groups within Asana are helpful. Email notifications are received for updates relevant to tasks, combining Asana alerts with email for easy visibility.

The interface and notifications in Asana are appreciated because it integrates with email. Updates can be received even when not logged in, which keeps you informed.

Initially, it takes some time to understand the various details, but after extensive use, it feels second nature. Overall, satisfaction with Asana is high.

What I appreciate about Asana is the easy way to get the data we need for the reports because we are moving all our tickets. We are making a copy from our main ticket system to Asana because our main ticket system is not giving us what we are looking for, so we need to process everything in Asana. We get the dashboard and analytical reports, so we can have a summary of what has been done in which department we are working with or helping. We can see how many requests for each department we are having. The easy way to get all the analytics at the end of the month or year is the most important feature, and that's why we are still with Asana.

The benefits I see with Asana are the main tools because of the integration this tool has. For example, we are making tickets but receiving requests through email, and we have the integration with Outlook and Google. We have the add-ins, so we are making the ticket on our main system while replying to the mail, and simultaneously taking this mail to complete our ticket for our Asana project.

The time we are investing through departments with Asana is valuable because we are receiving requests or updates for projects without investing time in meetings or writing emails. Because of the integration we have, we just create a project and everyone with specific tasks moves on their tasks, and we receive the updates. We created a bot that gives us updates automatically. Asana provides automation because we receive these updates the moment they happen without anyone needing to tell us they completed tasks or moved on to others.

Asana's cloud deployment has been beneficial for our remote or hybrid team operations. If someone is onsite and someone is working from home, everyone can work on the same project through automation. The person from home doesn't need to be on an infinite call with management or coworkers. They can work in real time, and once someone completes a prerequisite task from home, the people onsite will know it and get the green flag to continue their assigned tasks. It has benefits for anyone, including personal uses.

I find the collaboration features to be the most usable. The dashboards provide an overview of tasks, showing how much has been completed and what remains. I can add external users to access their projects, share files, leave comments, and tag people. Asana's automation allows me to automate deadlines and send notifications to the right people about approaching deadlines. View full review »

I think it's very user-friendly on their Kanban boards for Asana. It's very easy to use for everyone in the team. They have a good tool for the portfolio aspect because we have projects in different areas. Their new capacity planning is also useful for us to see where we are overloaded and how we can shuffle resources around. The fact that the Kanban is so easy to use and the portfolio functions are particularly valuable.

We have benefited from Asana's visual interface components such as Kanban boards. I did not use their Gantt chart, but they have good features and there is substantial visibility among team members because they can see who's working on what. It's easy to use and very friendly.

Asana takes one of the highest priorities for us for reviews.

Asana gives visibility to upper management with the workload and all the other projects that are going on at this point in the company.

It’s a great way to communicate plans and progress across the business and is flexible about how much detail I include and how I present it. I especially like the way I can share different perspectives with different people and the flexibility in how I present information. 

My team especially loves the Priority Poker feature: making prioritizing cooperation fun and easy, and helping me stick to my strategy and goals. I can modify it to fit my team’s needs and easily extend my process at anytime easily.

I really enjoy the portfolios in Asana. One of the ways Asana stands out to me is with portfolios. You can have all your different projects, and you can have those assigned to different teams. If you want to customize a grouping of projects, you can use portfolios. For instance, one of the things that we do is we can assign a portfolio to a specific strategic objective we have, and we can put all those projects that are related to that strategic objective in that portfolio. We then know exactly what people are working on to help us achieve our goals. So, I really like portfolios.

Another piece that I like is the proofing. I like how you can just click on the image in Asana and attach comments to it, and it'll turn into a task. It just makes the proofing process really intuitive, as opposed to using something like Adobe Acrobat or something like that.

One of Asana's differentiators is how easy it is to set up. Another area where Asana is strong is that the information is near real-time, and you don't have to save anything in order for the information to show up. All the information is pretty much real-time. So, if I add a task to somebody's task list, it's going to show up immediately, and they're going to see it. They're going to get a notification about it.

Asana is a very simple interface for project managers to figure out, providing all the functions they need. Asana is one interface that contains multiple functions such as object key results (OKRs), time plans, metrics, and risk management. All these functions can help you to easily implement your project from the initiation to the evaluation stage.

When you have access to Asana as a project manager, you will find everything you want inside it. In some cases, if we use alternatives, we have to jump from one program to another and some apps to complete everything. However, Asana is an interface that includes everything you want.

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.

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 best feature is how easily you can create rules. You can do it just via point and click. I like how easy it is to use the rules within Asana.

The initial setup was simple. 

Asana has a site available where you can check the status and see if it's working or in the middle of downtime still (when downtime happens).

Technical support has been excellent.

The visibility is great. The fact that everybody can see all of the tasks, and all of the comments, is super helpful. If you are tagged inside this task, so it's very easy to see. The interface looks really nice and it's really simple to get around and view everything, especially the items directly related to your work. Task management and distribution are awesome.

It's better than email because email due to the fact that sometimes you can lose some email. This way everything is much more accessible and searchable.

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.

In addition to the Portfolios feature benefits, I find the ability to create custom project templates very useful. Creating projects can be time consuming, especially if they are complex (e.g., many tasks, multiple dependencies, multiple sections, etc.). Even copying a project to reuse it (which is common in a lot of other solutions) can create more work by duplicating unnecessary information. Instead, Asana allows a user to use any project as a template that can be selected when creating a new project. So, I have created base projects for various types of projects with only the tasks that would be completed and then use those as templates.
