Asana

What differentiates Asana from other similar products?

Asana allows you to quickly and easily create dashboards. Topics, processes, and responsibilities can be visually mapped here. Because each task can be linked to a person, you can communicate within tasks, and even attach documents, all information is accessible to everyone involved at a glance. Asana can aid in the visualization of processes. The tool also provides a good status update to the project team and facilitates communication. Even minor tasks are no longer overlooked. I always have an overview of my pending tasks because Asana collects all of the tasks assigned to me. The greatest benefit of Asana, in my opinion, is its enormous.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

All tasks and project progress are visible and up to date. Everyone on the team is aware of their responsibilities and is aware of the current situation (this applies to both project operational staff and management). Project-related communication can be handled directly through Asana; users may need to be educated at times, but it is beneficial. Projects can be presented much more transparently, giving decision-makers a quick overview of the project. To reduce the risk of "forgotten" tasks, tasks are distributed and assigned with deadlines throughout the company. Weekly reports help you stay on top of things.Enough time must be set aside.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Some features are exclusive to the premium version. If you do not check your settings, you will be notified for every minor change in the dashboard. Colors could be used to improve dashboard representation. Because of Asana's versatility, it is possible to become "lost" in it as a user. As a result, you must ensure that your boards and lists are clean. For example, there is the possibility of repeating subtasks of subtasks (this can create a depth that can become very confusing). It would be a useful feature for me if tasks could be linked not only between projects, but also between workspaces. A company-wide premium account is required.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

What I like best about Asana is that it can map almost any process. We now use Asana for all processes, including hiring, order management, and sales, among others. I particularly like the fact that you can integrate a large number of third-party applications or connect them via apps. In Asana, I gather my team; even a senior employee gets along well with Asana. First and foremost, I solved an organizational problem with Asana because everything is now in one place. As a result, you could say that Asana serves as a sort of hub. Individual projects and tasks can be created in a very flexible and customizable manner. It is very clear for all.

What differentiates Asana from other similar products?

This software has helped us to improve the dynamics at work, because assigning activities and tasks to the work team is easier and measuring their progress is simple. Communication is more fluid and we can see all the comments and comments left by the rest of the project members regarding an assigned activity.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Tasks are easier to understand and execute, since they are assigned to each employee when they are individual or to the work team when they are group tasks. The diagrams have been very helpful, we can see the progress we have made and if we are behind the established time to finish the task, this way we can speed up the work and finish it on time.

What do you dislike most about this product?

It is annoying that some requests for activities and tasks do not arrive in real time, which makes us late with the start of the project and we must use other means for the start. These requests only arrive if you start the program and they arrive in the mail long after they have been assigned, which is a real delay for the project. Task comments also do not arrive in real time.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

This is an excellent tool for remote work, because you can easily assign activities and projects to your work group online and monitor and know closely the progress of the activities. It has worked very well for the work we do, except for some details, we found this software to be quite complete.
