Asana Reviews

We use the solution to create some tasks. Each task is assigned to somebody here.

The way it handles the task is good. The whole team needs to organize all our tasks using Asana. It helps to clarify and allows us to prioritize tasks effectively.

The solution could have a bigger pop-up when someone assigns a task or have a notification similar to Facebook, where you see a number indicating the notifications you receive. This way, you can see the notification when you use Asana. Perhaps a larger notification or a different color could make it easier for everyone to identify that they have a task assigned.

I have been using Asana for a year. We are using the desktop version of the solution.

The solution is scalable.

Technical support is very useful.

The initial setup is straightforward. 20 members, including the manager, were involved in the development.

I rate the initial setup an eight out of ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy.

The pricing is reasonable. We paid and received equal functionality.

I recommend the solution. You can view and manage your tasks, assign each task to the appropriate team member, and track the progress and status of each task.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

We use Asana for project management and task management.

Asana has a wonderful user experience that is very easy to interact with and has tons of integrations with other products and tools.

Asana should provide the ability to have read-only users. Sometimes, I need to collaborate with people external to my organization, and I would love to invite them to my Asana board and assign tasks to them. Sometimes, these are short collaborations. I work in marketing, and sometimes I work with agencies.

I would love to do project management on my side, which would be way easier. It's difficult to have short-term collaborations with external users because the operations team owns the final licenses, and I work for marketing.

I have been using Asana for five years.

Asana is a highly stable solution.

I rate Asana ten out of ten for stability.

Around 250 to 300 users are using the solution in our organization.

I rate Asana ten out of ten for scalability.

I have previously used different tools like monday.com and Productive.

I am using the latest version of Asana. I was not involved with the solution's setup, but I was involved in onboarding the users, which was very easy.

I have contacted Asana's technical support with questions on how to do advanced things. Asana provides you with extensive documentation and documentation on the API so you can develop your custom integrations.

The more people use Asana, the easier it is to collaborate, and you will reduce a lot of messaging, email back and forth, and all those not-very-smart things that take a lot of time. Anyone who is considering using Asana should maximize their potential. Asana has many features like approvals, workflows, and automation, and it's best to spend some time learning them.

We were forced to take two hours of our time to learn how to use Asana, and it's a life savior. You can see people using Asana like any other tool, and then you have advanced users who utilize all the potential and boost productivity. You can really tell the people who are proficient with Asana in terms of productivity.

Overall, I rate Asana ten out of ten.

The solution is a task management app. It is good for project management.

The tool has a lot of integrations. It’s popular and has good task management features.

The messaging feature could be better.

I've never had challenges with the product’s stability. For the period we used it, it was stable.

The tool is scalable, but we have to remember that we have to pay for it. Our organization had a team of 15 to 20 people using the solution. A project manager managed the solution. We did not need a developer.

The initial setup was straightforward. I come from a technical background. Everything is straightforward for me. The setup was very simple. We had to download the app and add the tasks.

We deployed the tool in-house. We just have to sign up and download the app to deploy the solution. If we want to use the cloud version, we can get on the website and add users and tasks. It is that simple.

My organization would have seen a return on investment in the solution. If they didn’t, they would have stopped using it.

We paid a monthly licensing fee for the product.

Bitrix24 is pretty fast, but Asana is fine too. Asana is better than Trello as a task manager.

Asana is good at what it does. However, I still prefer Bitrix24 over Asana. People looking to use the solution must go ahead and use it. It is not a bad tool. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.

For our company, we use Asana for project management. Since my company caters to a lot of enterprise clients, ticket management services are based on the preferred choice of our clients.

I lead a team of software developers in my company, so we use Asana for sprint planning, allocating tasks, monitoring bugs, and a few more tasks.

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.

The mobile application of Asana has to be improved a lot because no one wants to do a complete project management task on mobile. While on my mobile phone, I would like to get an update quickly or a short task notification so that I don't forget anything, for which the mobile interface is very clumsy.

I don't have anything related to the additional features required in the solution on top of my mind because my company hasn't even used 50 percent of the tool's feature set. We have customized the tool based on our processes. We are using whatever we need in the tool, so I don't have any suggestions for adding features to Asana.

I have been using Asana for two and a half years. I am just a user of the solution.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten since I haven't faced any challenges regarding the product's stability.

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten since I haven't faced any challenges regarding the product's scalability, and our company hasn't explored its scalability involving a billion tasks.

I have a 45-member team working under me using Asana.

The solution's technical support is not very prompt or strong, which may be because they have to reach out to a lot of users. Though we only got the opportunity to interact with the product's technical support team once or twice, our experience was not good. We weren't happy with the technical support team because of the response time they took to provide us with a solution to our issue, and we had only reached out to the support team since we had no clue on how to resolve the issue in the product. We were expecting experts from Asana's technical support team to resolve the issue within an hour, but it took them 48 hours to resolve it.

ClickUp and Jira are part of the project management tools we use in our company.

The ease or complexity of Asana's initial setup process depends on the use cases for which the product is chosen. The initial set of phases can be a no-brainer for a simple project creation or for some setup using an existing project template. In our company, we use Asana for Complex use cases, like getting it integrated into a dashboard from Notion or a ticketing system from Jira, for which we need a bit of technical intervention.

The solution is deployed on the cloud.

The internal team in my company, who reports to me, managed the initial setup phase of 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. I like the flexibility provided in Asana's pricing policies. 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.

I recommend the product to its other potential users.

I rate the overall product a nine out of ten.

Asana is highly beneficial for extended projects that require a strategic approach. It allows us to dissect these projects into numerous tasks and effectively prioritize them based on their deadlines. Moreover, Asana facilitates seamless collaboration across various departments, emphasizing the significance of time management and strategic thinking. Additionally, it aids in allocating resources within my team, ensuring efficient execution of the pertinent project.

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 documentation could be enhanced by incorporating more visually informative videos that demonstrate how to accomplish specific tasks. While Asana's community support is valuable for answering questions, finding precise answers often requires sifting through multiple posts. Having concise and explanatory videos would greatly improve the user experience. When searching on platforms like Google, there are many individuals sharing their approaches to using Asana. However, the information provided is often not directly applicable to one's specific needs. Therefore, it would be advantageous to have comprehensive video tutorials that address common user queries. This would provide a more efficient and intuitive way of accessing information, especially when it comes to learning how to navigate and utilize Asana's features effectively.

Asana offers a variety of view formats that provide different levels of visibility. These include board view, list view, timeline view, and dependency view. For a single project, you can explore multiple views depending on your objectives. If you're working on a long-term project, you may prefer the timeline view to track your progress and have a macro-level overview of where you stand. On the other hand, for more granular tasks, the board view can be helpful in monitoring the progress and visualizing how things are advancing. The choice of view is not merely a feature selection but rather a decision based on the visibility it offers for your specific needs.

I have been using Asana within the last 12 months.

The solution is stable.

I rate the stability of Asana an eight out of ten.

We have a few hundred people using this solution in my organization.

I rate the scalability of Asana a seven out of ten.

I did not contact the vendor's support.

I did not use other solutions similar to Asana.

I did not evaluate other solutions before Asana. It was always deployed in my company when I started working.

I would recommend Asana to others.

I rate Asana an eight out of ten.

Our marketing and communications team uses Asana as a project management and communication program. We input all of our marketing projects and their related tasks and assign each task to a staff member with a due date. This allows us to track our work's progress in Asana.

Asana has significantly reduced the number of emails we exchange because we can access the project directly. It organizes all the tasks related to each project, assigns them to staff with due dates, and tracks progress. This creates a historical record of our projects tied to specific dates, allowing us to review what we did last year and ensure that projects are updated. Asana has systemized our work by ensuring that every project has the same tasks, including peer review and proofreading. This has reduced mistakes and improved the quality of our work.

The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to keep us organized and on task.

Improvement-wise, I would like more options for changing notification settings. Currently, there are only a few available options, but it would be helpful to have more control over the notifications received. For example, if you are on a project, you can receive every notification related to it, even if the task isn't yours.

It would be interesting if Asana could integrate with email platforms like Outlook and on, Gmail, and Google Calendar. This way, when a project has a due date, it could automatically appear on people's calendars.

I have been using Asana for a year and a half. Also, I believe that I am using the solution's latest version. Specifically speaking, it is a cloud-based version.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten since it has never gone down while we were working on it.

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten. So, depending on your subscription, I think you can add a significant number of users.

I don't have any experience with technical support.

I think the initial setup was pretty straightforward. We had help from our IT department, but I don't believe the process was complicated.

I have experienced a return on investment using the solution.

Price-wise, I think it's an affordable option for mid to large-sized companies.

It would be beneficial for users to take some time to consider the different types of projects they have across various categories and to create those categories before inputting the projects. This way, the system will be more organized and easier to search. If projects are simply added as individual items without any categorization, managing them can become overwhelming. Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

We used this solution for project management and to keep track of the projects we are working on.

This solution is easier and faster to use compared to Jira. It's not very structured and you can add sub-tasks and issues easily. You can add other projects within the same screen.

If you have been using a tool like Jira for many years, it make time some time to get used to the minimalist layout in Asana. Once you get used to it, you may find it easier and faster to use than Jira. 

I have been using this solution for four months.

This is a stable solution. 

We have not witnessed any limitations on scalability. 

We previously used Jira.

The initial setup is straightforward.

If you are looking for a minimalist tool that is flexible and offers a to-do list and project management, I would recommend Asana.

If they want something more structured and integrated with an extended SDLC tool set, I would recommend Jira instead.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten. 

We are a software company and we have many different software projects with 10 to 15 developers working on each project. We use to Asana to manage each project, for team collaboration and to assign tasks to the team. Basically, we use Asana for project management and collaboration.

We have not used Asana on our private server. We have only been using the cloud solution. We need an on premise solution for government agencies. This would be an improvement if this was possible.

We have been using this solution for six years. 

This is a stable solution. So far we have faced not any problem with the system slowing down or lagging. 

We have 150 full-time employees in our organization and for our use case, Asana is sufficient. We don't know if we can handle over 500 or 1000 users at the same time. We have not tried yet.

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.

We have a monthly subscription.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten. 

There are two main things I use it for. The first one is lead management and opportunity processing, internally in my organization, project management, and task creation. The second thing I use most is support inside the community of Asana. I'm an ambassador of the Asana community. I also use Asana for this type of support.

Before Asana, we didn't have a tool to control our leads or our opportunities. It was just by memory. If we were talking with a client, we were just thinking about calling that lead or that client in a day. With Asana, I have my leads more organized. I know when to call. I can go back and see what I said on the last call, or what I emailed the last time we contacted them. It's an easier way to keep up with my prospects and my opportunities.

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. 

One of the main things I've been wishing for is an ID, a short ID, just like Jira. That is another tool that I used before. It has an ID for every task in Asana. So it's a short way to know what task are you writing your things on, and it's easier to control your activities. 

In Asana, there's no way to add a custom date field. That's another thing. 

Both of those functionalities I'm wishing for, or I'm hoping for in the short term.

Occasionally, Asana does go down.

I've been using the solution for less than a year - 11 months or ten months, probably.

Since we've had Asana, we have been down twice for two to three hours each time. Asana provides a website to know the status of Asana in general. It's an easy way to check if Asana is down or not. We know that every tool has these types of failures. We wish we don't have any more failures, however, we may continue to have them. That said, Asana is excellent in how they provide the status of Asana in general.

The ability to scale depends on the implementation within your organization. However, the scalability is there to do it on your own. You can have a thousand employees using Asana. I don't see any problems scaling up using Asana.

Right now, we have about 50 people on the solution. We use it quite extensively.

When we need support, we have a VIP support channel as we are an Asana partner. We have Asana support directly with the Asana support team. We are extremely satisfied with the help we get. 

Positive

Besides Asana, we work with Salesforce, Twilio, and Slack. I've used Jira in the past as well. 

We did not previously use a project management solution at this company.

I was involved in the initial implementation. It was straightforward. The difficult part of this type of implementation is how you structure your teams and projects within Asana, however, how you use Asana to do this is intuitive. We didn't have any problem with how to accommodate or establish those things. I'd rate the simplicity of the implementation at a four out of five.

The deployment didn't take more than two weeks. 

The maintenance is easy. It's very smooth. We do not require a maintenance team, however, we do have team leaders that will do occasional maintenance. 

We handled the implementation in-house.

I don't have exact ROI numbers, however, we've seen time investment hours and we know that each hour counts as money. We've seen some return on investment, in time, in productivity. Those two KPIs have seen marked improvements.

We are Asana partners.

I use the most recent version and I use it every day.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. It's a great way to organize your daily work within your organization. It doesn't matter your team or the department you're working in. It's very flexible. 

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.
