Construction Superintendent at Sila Nanotechnologies Inc.
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's very easy to use for everyone in the team, and they have a good tool for the portfolio aspect because we have projects in different areas."
"For a free solution, it does provide a lot of value."
"The structure of organizing tasks is ideal for me."
"The tool has a lot of integrations."
"Asana has impacted my organization positively by being very useful for product management and task management."
"The most valuable feature of Asana is the ease of navigation."
"For our needs today, Asana is doing what it intends to do."
"Stable Kanban style tool for collaboration and task management. It runs smoothly and has a straightforward setup."
"It increased productivity and timely delivery of projects within a set budget."
"The primary uses for this tool are task delegation, generating reports, and on-time invoices."
"Real-time collaboration, invoice generation, task delegation, and file management features have become valuable features for our organization."
 

Cons

"There just needs to be a bit more direction on how to use it at the outset."
"Currently, there are only a few available options, but it would be helpful to have more control over the notifications received."
"In some instances, there were subtasks where more than one person needed to review it, but I could only assign it to one person. I would have to create a subtask under a subtask and then assign it to other people. This could be improved."
"This solution has a learning curve, where it is initially difficult to use."
"I shouldn't have to use InstaGANTT to get a good view of the projects."
"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 don't get enough notifications; everyone has to keep opening up Asana to check and see the tasks, and if something isn't tagged, it won't show up in anyone's notifications."
"There is room for improvement in integrating Asana with different technology vendors."
"The timely reminders could be reduced from one mail a day to three mails in a week. This tends to fill up our inboxes a lot."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We paid a monthly licensing fee for the product."
"I can describe Asana's pricing as a sweet spot since it is neither very high nor very low, especially regarding the value Asana adds to its products...In our company, we use 50 percent of the features provided by Asana, because of which we only pay 50 percent of Asana's total cost."
"Price-wise, I think it's an affordable option for mid to large-sized companies."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"This solution is reasonably priced."
"The solution's free version can be used for basic functions."
"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."
