Asana Reviews

Asana has the most effective project and task management tools from my experience. 

It tracks every workflow to ensure there is a smooth implementation process. 

It gives my team the work plan at a suitable cost and time for managing various set projects. 

In addition, it allows my team to share documents with my colleagues and record video clips on any ongoing project. Asana has established the best working criteria that identify critical projects and tasks and give them first priority. 

Collaboration and joint project implementation enable each party to access the full documentation and provide unbiased opinions.

Project managers can easily manage projects from a unified system at reduced costs and time-saving. The general UI shows progress and data analytics for all projects in progress. It also displays task lists, and calendar views with the aim of simplifying the job of monitoring and assessment team. 

The platform has an automated database that saves customers' data with a tag of the assigned project to enhance faster follow-up. The addition of other related backup tools like screenshots and documents is easy. 

The Asana team is very innovative, and their updates have matched most of the work done on daily basis.

The subtasks section enables employees in the organization to break and classify tasks for faster implementation and access. 

We were able to customize the application interface and set the drop-down menu to accommodate tasks and projects. 

Date and time tools ensure that tasks are completed on the set period before deadlines. All the features have the potential capabilities to perform their unique tasks, and we have been happy since we secured this software. The proofreading system ensures that we submit projects that are free from errors and rich in planned text.

Some updates are outdated, and their functionalities can affect the end outcomes. When a task is deleted before submission, it is not easier to locate it. The software just requires regular updates, and everything will be okay. I did not experience many performance challenges as we are able to implement projects and submit them to our clients on time. 

It is simple and more flexible to work with it from anywhere and achieve the set targets. I appreciate the vendor team for coming up with the basic solutions for handling any given task and project using Asana.

I've used the solution for two years.

There are few downtime cases.

The performance has been outstanding.

Customer support has been always available when we need them.

Positive

I have not used another project management software.

The setup process is simple.

The implementation took place through the vendor.

There has been positive ROI and increased business growth.

It is easy to set up and acquire the application.

I evaluated Wrike, however, I decided to settle on Asana.

The system is good and I have no complains.

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.

Positive

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.

I have used Asana while working at an e-commerce agency while working on creative projects and creating content like ads for Amazon or Walmart Connect. We used Asana to keep individuals within the agency updated on projects, even if they do not work within the creative team. 

When I worked at Claire's stores as a digital project manager for their internal digital creative team, we used Asana for different departments to log requests for creative projects. We also used it to manage the projects within the digital team. 

Asana allows you to create your own project with sub sections with subtasks that can be assigned. The feature I really love is that you can tag people to notify them that there has been progress on a project as well as add attachments. It is a central depository for everything. It is also really useful that you can add people outside your organization to projects you are working on. 

The use of Asana can be restricted if it is not set it up the right way. 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. 

I have been using this solution for a year and a half. 

I used Basecamp and JIRA prior to Asana coming out. JIRA is used more for software developers or backend development projects.

The initial setup was complex because the onboarding is not done correctly. This is due to the fact that we are short staffed and did not have time to be trained. Once we had spent more time using the solution, it was easier to use and understand.  

This solution is reasonably priced. 

I would highly recommend Asana as I think it's a great tool. It is really easy to use once you are trained on it. It really helped me effectively manage projects and improve productivity and efficiency. It has a lot of options from an integration perspective with other platforms.

I would rate this solution an eight 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.

I'm using Asana to have data for our weekly team stand-up meeting.

What I found most valuable in Asana is its Kanban style board. I haven't dug into the tool deep enough to really explore all of its features.

Better integration could be an area for improvement in Asana. It's hard to integrate it into other parts of our company workflow because our company infrastructure has a lot of security firewalls, but I'm not sure if there's anything Asana can do about it.

Asana is a stable tool. It runs smoothly.

The initial setup for Asana was straightforward. It's one of the reasons the team decided to use it.

I work with Asana five minutes a week, but not in-depth like some of my other colleagues.

For our needs today, Asana is doing what it intends to do. I don't know how more we can push it, because we're not really leveraging it for its whole capacity.

We haven't reached out to their technical support team because we didn't have a need.

My usage of the tool is extremely limited, so I don't have much expertise to give advice to anyone looking into implementing Asana.

I'm rating Asana eight out of ten, based on my experience.

We are using it for managing small and medium projects.

It is very good for managing the timeline. I'm a quality manager, and I have different testing projects running with different work breakdown structures. Asana makes it very easy to implement and monitor the plans. It is easy to move the tasks and complete them, break them down, and assign them to people.

Auto-shift is an essential feature for planning, but it's currently not there. It should have this feature so that when you move a task that depends on another task, the dates should be auto-shifted. For example, you have two tasks dependent on each other. When the parent task is moved or delayed, the child task should also be delayed, and the date should be shifted. When we have a very long timeline, it's very complex to go task by task and shift the dates on the task. Auto-shift is a fantastic and basic feature of project management, and having such a feature in Asana would make our lives much easier. If Asana added this feature, it would complete the suit and close the project management cycle because currently, there is a gap. 

I have been using this solution for a couple of years.

It is good from the stability point of view.

Because of the lack of the auto-shift feature, it is difficult to manage a complex project or complex timeline. For small and medium projects, it's a perfect tool, but for big or complex projects, Microsoft Project is suitable.

We have more than 50 people who use this solution.

I have contacted them many times. I contacted them regarding the auto-shift feature because, in the beginning, I thought it was something I didn't know. I had to integrate Asana with Freshdesk. We got another tool to make the integration happen, and after that, it was very easy to open a task through Asana. Their support was good. I would rate them a four out of five.

I used Microsoft Project. We switched because Asana was way easier. It doesn't have a learning curve like Microsoft Project. It is also cloud-based and cost-effective. 

It was very easy. I like it for that reason. There is no learning curve for understanding and enabling the tool.

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.

On the technical side, you should be able to learn it quickly. You can watch the videos on the Asana website. On the practical side, you should explore the feature of having custom columns because it's like magic. Being aware of the fact that you can add custom columns in your plan and use them for analysis and managing your project would make your life easier later on. So, at the initiation phase, it's very important to know that you have this capability.

I would rate it an eight out of ten. It is a very good tool. It is very easy to install and easy to learn, but if you have complex and big projects, you would have problems. If they add the auto-shift feature in future releases, my opinion will change, but currently, I would rate it an 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.
