Asana Reviews

Summary: In a significant way, Asana has represented a before and after for our work, adapting this platform to our work system was undoubtedly the best decision. There are a million similar platforms, however, Asana was the one that best adapted to our work, it accompanies us throughout the project management process, it allows us to organize tasks and distribute work, in this way each work team manages to organize itself; In the same way, it allows us to project all the activities through planning and in this way we discover the way to be prevented before the arrival of any event and prepare ourselves in time. We can see the entire course of the project, progress, collaborations, and incidents, make detailed reports of all projects and be present throughout the development of our projects. It is present in our day to day and it is a fundamental part for us to achieve a correct workflow, to advance by leaps and bounds towards achieving our work purposes, but now we no longer do it alone, but with Asana that multiplied our workload by two , not because it is not efficient with its platform, but on the contrary, it is so efficient that the results have been satisfactory on the part of our clients that we have achieved much better capture and influx of potential clients, which has directly contributed to the number of work we have, but thanks to Asana this is not a problem because we can deal with it without any problem, with its task panel we have every aspect at hand and nothing is overlooked. The entire work team is united on the platform with a common purpose, and that is to contribute the best of each area to the projects and adjust to its fairly comfortable platform so that our work is organized, well planned and in guarantee that without doubt, everything will be successful.

Positive: Asana is a POWERFUL tool, with all the letters, that offers endless opportunities for business and professional development and opens the doors to grow disproportionately. With the use of Asana, we discover that it is possible to manage absolutely everything we need. It has become our favorite work system, where all work areas adjust our work to the Asana platform to build all our projects. It provides a large storage space which allows us to keep our important documents and files necessary to carry out our work, such as a database of our clients or work teams. On the other hand, task management is impressive, it has a good and extensive task panel to use and adjust, allowing you to collaboratively build a roadmap where each work area actively participates as appropriate, through assignments or accesses of participation. Labeling is also quite good and essential for work administration, added to this, there is the calendar that has been the indicated tool for work planning, being a very dynamic tool with which we can all interact. Mobile access has been a plus for this tool since we can take it with us wherever we go to be aware of all the progress and be able to participate, if necessary, in addition to the fact that the notifications are timely and always justify the sending alerts to be aware of quite specific things. It allows us to create a large community where we can exchange different contributions to the projects, with the contribution of the Kanban board our team has achieved greater work efficiency and progress in the projects. In the same way, it provides significant tools for marketing and CRM management, which is quite inclusive for our work team, allowing us to review customer tickets and enhance marketing campaigns. If I described other tools, it would never end, because they really are countless and really offer excellent functionality to our workflow and work project management.

Negative: Asana offers endless tools with powerful use, its use is significant and quite useful, despite this, the difficulty of use is representative and it presents a real challenge to understand each aspect of all the tools, since it is presented as one unintuitive interface, even with this, the Asana team offers the necessary documentation and training to achieve a good management of the platform, however, more instructive would be ideal for specialists in various areas, such as marketing agents or project managers, so that they can apply his work. management within the platform. Another negative point is the limitation with the guests, some project developers need to join the platform to collaborate, and this limitation only gives us the possibility of a certain number, it puts barriers to our work to adapt both to us and to our co-workers to limitations. of Asana. In particular, we have noticed that greater flexibility is needed to organize work teams and even projects, where we need to manage and create subtasks or projects and their tools do not allow us to do so. There are a lot of features that the Asana team has been updating and implementing, however I have found a couple of tools that are very compatible with what we need to do, I have tried to adapt or customize them, but it is almost impossible, so in this aspect it also really limits our goals with the platform. Otherwise, I do not get any other negative points, I think these points are essential for us to achieve a much more pleasant and fluid work, adapting the platform to our comforts and needs of use.

Summary: One of the most useful tools for my job is Asana now. Asana is used well by Tesla, NerdWallet, and Amazon, where I formerly worked. It makes it simple for us to manage and view data, compile everything into a single source of truth, and automate repetitive PM tasks.

Positive: Asana is releasing new features to broaden its offering and fixes problems as they arise. The aspect of Asana that I have valued the most is its vibrant community in the Asana Community Forum, which is full of wonderful people who can offer assistance in solving a variety of issues.

Negative: As somebody who has been employing the program for years and is educated in task management, Asana is the simplest thing to understand, but for younger staff who are just beginning, I have heard some remark it may be intimidating as they don't know where to begin. I wish there were greater education videos.

Summary: The main reason why our experience has been really complete is because this platform has provided us with a fairly good accessibility when managing our projects, previously, it was a bit complicated to manage several projects within our company, due to the large volume and the number of pending projects, however, after obtaining this platform we were able to divide all the employees, formalize work teams in which they can work on various projects and thus complete them much faster. I am really grateful for the results it has brought during all this time, we have completed more than 50 projects since we started using it, every month we generate various projects to be able to improve productivity within a company, also within my project sector It is really important to continue using this platform, since I am the manager in charge of all the projects within our company. With this platform I can see the success rate that we have been having during a specific time, I can monitor the performance that the employees have been having within the contribution of their activities, I can also improve the fulfillment of their activities and the responsibility in them. I am really impressed with how fantastic this platform has been for my company and how useful it has turned out to be, we have had a great return on investment as our employees have become much more productive.

Positive: It is always very important to try to maintain correct security within the development of projects and the administration of activities that are carried out within a work area, Asana has played a very important role in the development of various projects within our company, this platform It has allowed us to have a correct administration of activities that are carried out with the objective of progressing within a project, its ability to manage several projects simultaneously is impressive, in addition, it allows you to manage the number of guests and participants for each project, which helps you to manage the participants separately. It is fascinating to see how this platform works and its way of speeding up the project creation process, creating a solid project, with a list of activities to be fulfilled, with a section where you can see all the participants and monitor the fulfillment of the activities. corresponding. The things that I liked the most are:

1.- With this platform you can divide all your employees between the number of projects you are going to carry out, its main panel will help you manage the number of employees you have within your company or within your work week, in this way you will be able to assign each of them specific projects, so that they fulfill their role as participants and collaborators, and thus maintain a perfect order within the participants for each project. This function is very important and helps you to have a correct order within the participants for each project.

2.- The monitoring is done in real time, it is fascinating to see how all the progress of a project progresses within the platform, you can see the percentage of compensation of a project, you can see the percentage of success of the scheduled activities and the activities that have been successfully completed, as well as the pending activities, It offers you several ways to visualize the percentage of success of the activities, you can visualize it graphically or in the form of a diagram, it is important to mention that the graphical way will divide into a graphic the percentage of activities completed and activities left to complete, so it's very easy to understand.

3.- Communication is an excellent factor within this platform, communication is always available, you can communicate with your work team in a simple way and at all times. It is important to mention that this platform automatically created separate channels for each project and its participants. Every time you create a new project and add the corresponding participants, the platform automatically creates a chat channel where only the participants of the project can communicate. said project, this will help to maintain the correct order and to avoid that someone else from another sector agrees to interrupt the activities of said project.

4.- The view of the scheduled activities can be modified to your liking, you can configure a view in the form of columns or you can configure a view in the form of a schedule, with the functionality of the schedule you will be able to see with that attitude the days that are occupied by previously scheduled activities, in this way you will be able to know exactly what days are free for your employees, and thus carry out a much more complete planning. The column view is also excellent, since all the information and the corresponding activities for a specific project are broken down within a column, so it will be very easy to see everything that has been scheduled in seconds.

5.- The interface is completely modifiable, you can order all the projects the way you like, in addition, you can modify the view of each of the projects to your liking, it is very easy to modify the entire view to provide you with greater comfort during your experience.

Negative: Really the only negative factor that does not affect you about this platform is the following:

1.- This platform is not suitable for any type of company, it is a really expensive platform that does not offer full rates in which with a subscription you can integrate several users, therefore, if you are thinking of integrating this platform within your company , I suggest you take precautions, because it is a fairly expensive platform and does not offer plans to incorporate several users within a few hours of subscription. You will have to pay a fairly high fee for each user you want to implement within this platform. My opinion is that this platform should lower its high costs, to allow small businesses to use the great features it offers, and the excellent integration it has with various third-party services or platforms.

Also, it is important to highlight that this platform has never given me any type of failure, all my projects have been managed online thanks to this platform and its availability, in addition, the integration with a third-party platform has managed to manage projects be a much more fun process, with the integration of the cloud storage platform and many other things, which make the experience more complete, I hope that this platform continues to have this positive experience, without any kind of failure.

Summary: Asana has become a key platform to develop projects in the short, medium and long term within beer, for us, this platform is very important because it allows us to develop projects in all areas of this company, Because we have been able to develop projects and need to pay high costs for usage plans, we liked the general interface too much, we can modify the display of projects at any time, as well as this interface provides an incredible community. A couple of things must still be improved, such as the learning curve so that users can adapt to the platform more quickly, and different keyboard shortcuts must also be incorporated to improve the mobilization you have within the projects. that you are managing within your company. The mobile phone application is also effective, I have been able to manage all my projects from this application, within our sales sector we develop various projects weekly, and all of them can be managed from my mobile phone.

Positive: Asana is without a doubt one of the best ways today to develop projects and manage all kinds of tasks within your work area, it is an excellent option because it is an all-in-one platform that will help you manage all your tasks and will ensure that your project is completed on time, the things that I have liked the most about this platform are:

- I love the way in which this platform that allows me to modify the display of pending tasks and activities, offers me to group the tasks through sections or columns, I can also view the tasks through a board to keep the tasks organized, this variety to the When having a visualization of all the activities, it helps me to know exactly the activities that are planned for a specific time or for a specific date. The column view is the best way to manage your tasks, you will be able to see correctly and in a broken down way, the most recent tasks and the tasks that still have delivery time left. In the board view, you have a much broader view, but there is no order, you can view all the tasks but in a disordered way.

- I love the way I can view and schedule the delivery dates and delivery time for each of the tasks that I schedule, within our sales department we have scheduled each of the tasks on a weekly basis, and I have to configure the delivery date and the delivery schedule so that the employees can carry out their tasks in the agreed time. This platform also has a built-in start date for each activity, this means that you will be able to know exactly the exact moment in which you have to start developing the activity so that you do not have any last minute setbacks.

- The schedule view with the help of the Gantt chart Helps me fully understand all the due dates of the tasks and projects that have been planned, in this way I can have a much broader view of all the projects and activities that are planned. will develop within the next few weeks or months, I can have a broader view of the schedules so that the delivery date can be met. This diagram visualization also helps me understand the date my employees are free from activities.

- It has an excellent integration with our Dropbox cloud storage service, in this way we have been able to link both platforms to have a stable connection. This integration has helped us to bring information from our project platform to our cloud storage platform, as well as being able to extract important documents or files to share with our project colleagues.

Negative: Asana is a fairly complete platform in terms of the functionalities it offers to develop projects, I am happy with the general functionality of this platform, our projects have been more solid and have had a much broader collaboration with the help of all employees, without However, I must not overlook the negative things about this platform, such as:

- This platform does not have any type of keyboard shortcuts, this makes it difficult to move around within the platform without using your mouse, having a keyboard shortcut will also help you to move around within the various sections of the project and within the various activities that you have planned. I would love for this platform to implement a keyboard shortcut as soon as possible to facilitate mobilization within the generalized interface.

- This platform does not have any type of search filter, that means that when viewing in the board view, or column view, you will not be able to cite projects from a specific sector or from a specific date. All the projects will be displayed in order of creation but you will not be able to filter them by the sector in which the project is being developed, for example, if I want to view the projects that are being developed within the marketing sector, I have to search for it manually, I cannot perform the search with the help of filters that help me find that project more easily.

- Although the platform is quite complete and all the actions are very well organized, this platform turns out to be a bit difficult to use for the first time. Within our company we have had various difficulties in learning to use it, we have used our software team to be able to adapt to it correctly, as well as we have contacted the support team to guide us in adapting and familiarizing ourselves with the platform.

Summary: It's a great tool to manage with the team. It's also nice to conduct a meeting based on the Asana to check who is on what.

Positive: It's great when managing projects as a team. By assigning each member their tasks, you can see how the project is going in a single view. Also, emails are sent everyday to alert that day's task. It's very useful!

Negative: It's a bit complicated compared to other solutions like Notion. I had trouble changing the view when I started using at first.

Summary: It helps improve productivity with its ability to easily track and keep your schedule in check. Reaching goals and completing projects on time will become easier with Asana.

Positive: Can easily assign tasks and manage schedules of each employee. Daily task reminders and alerts to keep you focused on your goal. Easy to create teams and let others join without any hassle. Can keep track of projects from its brainstorming session to final completion.

Negative: Anybody can create teams and join. This makes it difficult for managers/admins to track employee activities. Ability to customize this workspace would be helpful.

Summary: Our general experience was quite good from the first week of using this software, previously we had problems doing large volume projects, since in our company we do quite large projects on a monthly basis. Controlling these projects in general was quite complicated for us to analyze manually, so I am very grateful because this software has supported us at all times and has allowed us to manage projects online, our employees have been able to develop a new collaboration skill in who help each other to complete projects faster. All our employees are comfortable with this platform and we will continue to use it without a doubt, we have completed around 100+ projects using this platform, our company has taken a much more positive course since this platform came to our branches, all the computers have this application installed so that they can develop projects on any of them. Our process of acting on this platform was quite simple, with the constant help of the support team, we managed to adapt during the first week without any problem.

Positive: Asana is a fairly proportional mechanism for creating projects, managing them, and monitoring employee activities around planned projects. In our company the vast majority of employees use this software because in our company we handle a large number of projects monthly, in each area different projects are developed, therefore, having a work area for each sector of our Company, helps our employees develop projects together with their closest colleagues. One of the main things that I loved about this software is that it has an excellent task monitoring system, this monitoring system is capable of detecting all the activities that the employees carry out around the project that is planned, for example, some employee You can develop some action for the project to progress, that would be able to detect this activity and register it within the system so that your activity is accounted for. The monitoring of activities around the projects helps us to know which employee is doing the most to contribute to the success of the project. Another thing that I loved about this software is that I can have real-time monitoring, I can know the activities that the employees are carrying out at a specific time, I can know the progress of each of the projects that are being developed Within my company, I can not only find out about the projects that are being developed by the center of my sector, but I can also see the projects in general. It is also important to mention that I have loved the way in which this software allows me to modify the user interface, this interface is quite interactive, I can mobilize each of the sections so that the view of the projects in general is more attractive and comfortable for me, this interface is totally friendly and allows me to modify it to my liking. Finally, I must also mention that I loved the way communication is highlighted within this software, for example, I can interact with my work colleagues within the Chat of this software, and I can also integrate them as collaborators in some of our projects, when I need help from a specific person, it is only enough to integrate him as a collaborator within the project and he will be able to make changes within our project, without a doubt it is an excellent service to develop projects together.

Negative: Within our experience with Asana, we had some issues or noticed that some features were missing within this software. Our general experience at all times was positive, due to the fact that no functionality of this software provided us or some type of error at some point, however, we believe that some functions are missing so that this software can have greater versatility within our company. One of the main things that is missing in this software is the keyboard shortcuts, currently there are no keyboard shortcuts within this software to be able to move more easily within the platform, in addition to the modification of the projects and the interaction with the themselves would be much easier with keyboard shortcuts, I hope that this system does not simply as soon as possible to make interaction much more feasible within the platform. Another thing that I did not like is that this software does not have any filter to search for a project, in our company, as I mentioned previously, many projects are carried out monthly, and it would be excellent to be able to find a specific one with the help of a search filter. , when I try to search for a project that we have finished or that is in progress, it is a bit complicated since there is no way to filter these projects with any word or with any category, the search is a bit exhaustive because there is no such filter that I mentioned previously. The search system has not directly affected our experience, but we consider that it is a factor that would come in quite handy for the proper development of the platform and to make our work easier.

Summary: Despite the various negatives that Asana has such as the view of projects, the fact that it cannot be modified by search filters, and the fact that it does not have keyboard shortcuts, I still consider it to be a worthwhile piece of software to manage. tasks and subtasks of a company or a labor sector. Asana is being used in all sectors of the company in order to maintain order and responsibility for the subjects of each person, in addition, it is also being used to create, develop and inspect projects, since it has quite striking templates for make projects with structured information. I'm happy with how Asana works overall, they need to improve a few things to make it a perfect piece of software.

Positive: Projects and task management is something that we have to carry out very carefully, so that everything can go well in our work environment. Asana is great software for managing projects, workflows, and keeping tabs on employee tasks and subtasks. The things I liked the most about Asana are:

- I love the column type mode that gives me a more organized view of all the tasks and project flows. This column-type view makes it possible to visualize in detail each pending task or task that is being carried out, in addition, it also allows me to visualize the projects that are being carried out at a specific time. These columns separate all the tasks from the projects, which adds a little more organization to the information.

- I love the function of adding those responsible for each task and each project. Adding a person responsible for each task has helped me to have control of which employee is performing a specific task, I can have an order in the assignments that I have assigned to each one in the sales sector. This task manager feature helps the manager receive constant notifications when the assignment's due time is approaching.

- The Asana calendar is quite computerized, it shows all the dates in which there are assignments, it shows the due dates of the projects and it also shows the days in which there have been the most assignments. This calendar is quite useful to have an overview.

- I constantly receive alerts when one of the employees is not fulfilling the assignments. These alerts are very useful, they help me keep track of the responsibility of each employee.

- Asana offers a fairly large number of templates for all types of projects, employees should not create a template from scratch, they can use the template from old projects or some template that Asana offers.

Negative: During my experience with Asana, I have noticed two negative factors that are very important to mention so that they are fixed as soon as possible, you need to optimize the factors that I will mention below.

- Asana does not have any type of keyboard shortcuts to favor my mobility within the platform, it would be excellent to be able to move in the sections by pressing a couple of keys, this would help me to review the performance they are having in the subjects faster.

- I cannot filter projects by creation date or by number of participants. All the projects that have been in a company are shown in the same section, they are not separated by completed projects or projects in progress. This complicates the search for a specific project a bit.

- The version for mobile devices is not as optimal as it seems, notifications are not received when an employee has not completed their assignments, notifications are only received on the computer. Also, it's a bit more complicated to create board-like projects on the phone.

Summary: Asana is a project software with great stability, with which there are no problems when working on several projects at the same time, demonstrating how well trained it is. It is very interesting to be able to schedule the process of launching a particular product while laying the groundwork for new projects in the future.

Positive: Asana provides its own project templates with which it is possible to cover all kinds of work situations. By using it, it is possible to create online meetings to keep the group work coordinated and on a better basis, and to review feedback patterns with the customers of our product, for future plans.

Negative: The dashboard where we usually place our information about the follow-up processes to the errors that appear during the work cannot be connected to other dashboards of different themes once it has been created, which limits a little the way in which we can visualize the data of each part of the project.

Summary: Asana seems like an incredible platform to me. This platform has several negative points in its free trial version and also in the functional notification system in the modifications of the projects, however, I consider that my experience has been sufficiently complete to exceed my expectations. Asana has allowed me to create a large number of projects simultaneously, I have also been able to count on the help of my work colleagues to be able to complete projects more quickly thanks to the excellent collaborator system that Asana has. I thank Asana for keeping me more consistent in the administration and completion of projects, thanks to this platform we have been able to finish projects in less time.

Positive: There are several features that I love about Asana, because this is a platform that has given us excellent project management and has been very stable in the development of each project as a group. The positive characteristics that have attracted my attention the most about Asana are:

- Asana has excellent synchronization and integration with the Google Calendar service, which helps us a lot since this way we can have a more exact planning in the projects that we are developing, and we can be more attentive to the delivery date of each project.
- Asana's user interface is fully customizable, thanks to its function of changing views, it allows modifying each of the sections in each work area and it also allows modifying the colors of the interface of each user, in order to to provide a better user experience that is much more comfortable.

Negative: Asana has a very limited free trial, which causes new users to feel a bit uncomfortable when carrying out projects within this platform. Currently, the Asana free trial does not allow the user interface to be modified in the same way as the paid version, as there are few colors that can be placed and there is also a limit of sections that can be mobilized. In addition, the notification system for project editing that has existed is very deficient, since it sends very few notifications when a user or project collaborator has modified the project in some way.

Summary: Despite the things I mentioned above which were not to my liking, I consider that I had a great experience with the help of Asana. In our company, the development of projects was individually, but since this platform arrived in our work system, we managed to work together and now we are able to finish projects even faster with the help of the fantastic way of group work. Asana has a fantastic interface which can be modified by the user, he can modify the colors, backgrounds and organization of the sections of the platform. I am satisfied with Asana and consider my overall experience to be remarkably good.

Positive: Asana and the great way it has to organize projects as a group, and to be able to track the project online, is what makes this platform great. One of the main things that I liked about Asana is that it works very well in integration with the Slack system, this integration has allowed me to have a better creation of projects since I can communicate with my work team and I also have the possibility of sharing the project that we are carrying out, with the communication channels that we have in Slack. The second thing that I liked a lot about Asana, is that it provides me with a large number of templates that allow me to create a much more optimized project, with a unique design. And the third thing that I liked about Asana is that this platform allows me to carry out projects as a group, in this way I can get constant participation from all my work colleagues to finish the project faster.

Negative: As I mentioned before, I am fascinated with how to create and manage projects with Asana, however, there are some things that I do not like about this platform and that have significantly affected my performance in the functionalities of this platform, these characteristics are :

1.- Asana does not have keyboard shortcuts, which makes it difficult to move around the panel quickly. Currently the only way to get around the panel and the projects that are being developed is manually.
2.- When creating list or board projects, you have to be very sure which project is being created, since then it is not possible to modify the type of project.

Summary: I suggest that Asana work on the activities that can be assigned to a work program for a task, to be refined among themselves, continuously, with a defined number of times until reaching the full growth of the suggested procedures and purposes. This software is suitable for working online with project members and is really valuable to assist in the arrangements made as well as to start the tasks of each job, it allows to classify and also organize tasks with several other locations in the organization, helps to locate task schedules in one location , promotes the circulation of changes that occurred in a project with the rest of the participants, helps in increasing cooperation between the locations involved in the tasks.

Positive: I use Asana to take care of work plan jobs and also jobs announces the essentials to launch on Mac, in the cloud, web and mobile, the user interface is basic to have, allows the department of the different tasks of a job, to whom they correspond , duties and deadlines, included to track the components of a job, an exceptional alternative for producing Gantt charts and also showing the elimination of previous and accurate activities, best choice for examining and also filming the processes that have to be defined.

Negative: For this application, I have no adverse statements, it is an extremely urgent application to anticipate the postponements, impact, course and progress of a task.

Summary: One of the most reliable software applications when it comes to job monitoring. Asana has really simplified our problems and is also an exclusive service for our company. Managing, monitoring and also monitoring and observing job dependencies are just some of the minority features that I really like about this software application.

Positive: Observing job dependency, developing low-income tasks, producing customized area, as well as projects are among the two main functions that I like very much in this item. Assigning specific positions, as well as positions below, to co-workers in my company is an extremely useful attribute.

Negative: Tracking my group's efficiency is a little difficult. Despite the fact that Asana allows compatibility with software programs like others on the market to keep track of the efficiency of the team and Individual, there is still a lot of reasoning to complete this.

Summary: Overall, it served its purpose for the time that we used it, but we have since moved on to a new platform that works for us much better. So, it may have great applications for other industries, but for the tax/accounting/fin. plan. world, it just didn't do everything we needed it to.

Positive: 1. Great for quick lists to keep track of items during tax season.
2. Able to direct lists or comments at a person.
3. Layout of product is fairly simple.
4. Dragging and dropping items in a list into a new order is helpful.

Negative: 1. Can only comment or task one person.
2. There isn't an easy & intuitive way to track/report on lists of items.
3. Platform is not as intuitive to me as other project management platforms I have used.

Summary: It's an alright app and can be integrated with a lot of other apps, which is probably one of its bigger selling points. But for me personally, I just don't like it. I find it bulky and I think some aspects aren't really intuitive. I also wish the Android guide didn't just open up my browser to an online guide and was actually something I could read through in the app itself. Overall, it's good but minor quirks just put me off from really liking it. It's a really popular app though, and with good reason. I suggest just giving it a try and seeing if it fits for your team's projects or not.

Positive: It's easy to set up and prices are reasonable. The free option is limited, but you can still get a lot done with it. It can be integrated with a lot of really popular apps, such as Teams, Evernote, and Gmail. Presentation-wise, the app looks nice and modern. Color choices are easy on the eyes. You have a few options on how you want each projects tasks to visually look, for example a list format versus a sticky note-like board format, and each project can have a different format.

Negative: Tasks can only be assigned to one person. Simple projects don't need lots of features, so this could be mostly bloat depending on what you need it for. Initially sign up and set-up is easy, but a little time consuming as the app holds your hands through putting up your first project. I'd really rather not be forced to do anything right away before I can even see anything else in the app.
