Central hub has unified cross‑department tasks and provides clear ownership and communication
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.

User-friendly, cost-effective, and efficient
The most valuable feature of nTask is its user-friendly interface. Its simplicity makes it easy to navigate, and the consistent structure across modules means the tool guides you intuitively. This is especially beneficial for those who aren't tech-savvy or haven't worked with complex tools before. Being part of a small team, cost efficiency is crucial for us, and nTask fits well within our budget while providing all the necessary features. Additionally, we find the Gantt chart feature particularly useful for planning fundraisers with various task dependencies. The reporting feature ensures accuracy in our financial work. Being a small team, we appreciate nTask's customization options in the business plan.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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."
"The general UI shows progress and data analytics for all projects in progress."
"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."
"The ability to build subtasks and break things down off of our major tasks has been very valuable."
"The ability to share projects and tasks among team members appears to be the most valuable feature."
"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."
"The initial setup is straightforward, it was just a few clicks to get started and to integrate Asana into our existing business system."
"I would highly recommend Asana as I think it's a great tool."
"The most valuable feature of nTask is its user-friendly interface."
 

Cons

"I did not see a return on investment with Asana, and I cannot share any relevant metrics, such as time saved or improved efficiency."
"If you're a traditional project manager and you're PMP certified and you understand project management, you're going to be very frustrated with Asana's dashboards because they do not speak the language of project management."
"The inbox feature can be a little overwhelming if you are working with Asana just from its project boards and only checking it periodically."
"This solution has a learning curve, where it is initially difficult to use."
"The solution can be difficult for new users to use because of the interface."
"The product must reduce the information on the interface."
"Because of the lack of the auto-shift feature, it is difficult to manage a complex project or complex timeline."
"We have not used Asana on our private server. We have been using the cloud solution. We need an on premise solution for government agencies."
"nTask currently lacks a direct chat or communication feature."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The cost is $25 US per unit per month."
"Asana has two different types of structures: company vs workspace. Company is really best if all the users you plan to assign work to are all internal (have the same corporate domain in their user ID email address). Once one person signs up (even for a free account) with a corporate email address, Asana will automatically relate that person to that company, if it already exists. If you plan to use it for external collaboration as well as internal, then creating a workspace is a better approach."
"For what it brings to the table, I think Asana is fairly affordable. I would like to see the portfolio feature in our pricing plan, but other than that, it's definitely pretty good."
"It has a free version."
"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."
"The solution's free version can be used for basic functions."
"Price-wise, I think it's an affordable option for mid to large-sized companies."
