Patrick Conley - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"Asana has a wonderful user experience that is very easy to interact with and has tons of integrations with other products and tools."
"By using this software, I have adaptability in my work, and it can improve the production of our company."
"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."
"The solution's user interface is very good."
"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."
"The tool has a lot of integrations."
"The ability to build subtasks and break things down off of our major tasks has been very valuable. It is very stable and extremely scalable. The initial setup is very simple."
"I would recommend Asana to others."
"It is a very stable solution...The initial setup of Teamwork is easy."
"The setup was very easy. Deployment was very fast for us. We started using it within two weeks."
"Teamwork has made process management easier and much better. It is very robust and improves by making a lot of changes. It is easy to use and has lots of reports."
 

Cons

"We tried, but we haven't been successful with it. If people don't have the training, it is not easy to use. You need to make sure that the people are trained to use the system. They can provide more resources in the form of webcasts and videos that people can use to train themselves and understand how to use it."
"The calendar view in Asana has shortcomings and can be improved."
"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."
"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."
"The inbox feature can be a little overwhelming if you are working with Asana just from its project boards and only checking it periodically."
"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."
"The main dashboard, where there is a list, needs improvement."
"You need to have an action plan, otherwise, it won't be as effective."
"The screen sharing provided by the solution can be a challenge to a user. Screen sharing is an area that needs improvement in the solution."
"The product is expensive. It needs to have a more robust and customizable calendar."
"The product could be improved with more integrations and a mobile app."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution is reasonably priced."
"The cost is $25 US per unit per month."
"The solution's free version can be used for basic functions."
"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 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."
"We're on the business tier, which is $25 a month if you're on an annual contract. It's $31 if you're on a month-to-month contract. In my experience, there are no hidden costs with Asana. I know Smartsheet has these add-ons that you can buy, which is an additional cost, but Asana doesn't have any add-ons that I know of. When you're trying to scale the product and want to add users, you have to do it in buckets of five. This is also something to consider."
"The price of this solution makes it quite accessible, and the plans fit my budget."
"Price-wise, I think it's an affordable option for mid to large-sized companies."
"We negotiate on pricing since we are a long-term user."
"My company makes annual payments towards the licensing costs of the solution."
