Overall Satisfaction with Asana
Intersection uses Asana across all of our departments. Because we are interfacing with over 200 artists who use our Fiscal Sponsorship and Professional Development resources, we need a way to track all of the requests of our members outside of our inbox. Asana let's us track and prioritize our tasks in our daily and weekly tasks, but also let's us track the many individual requests we receive each day. It's also great that we can collaborate on tasks and gather information in one place, instead of creating long email threads.
- Asana has an easy to use UI. Even if you don't get into the advanced things Asana can do for your project management, it's super easy to use and keeps even the most basic task lists organized.
- Asana lets you view your tasks in multiple views. You can view all the tasks assigned to you or all the tasks under a certain project (i.e. HR). It also lets you customize the views within each project by due date or by other customizable priorities.
- Asana's email to task and Google Chrome extensions make getting tasks out of your email and into Asana super easy. I forward a large percentage of my emails directly to Asana so that I can prioritize how I choose to follow up and respond to requests in my inbox.
- I wish Asana had more customizable reporting. One of the benefits of using Asana is that you can track tasks and actually use those tasks to build repeatable processes, but decoding reports can be challenging.
- Asana's printing functionality needs improvement. You can use Asana tasks to create agendas, for example, but it's not possible to print a clean agenda to share with a group who's not on Asana and/or doesn't have their computer at a meeting.
- Asana has allowed us to better serve our customers by keeping track of requests and not dropping the ball.
- Asana has allowed us to be more mindful of each other's times and commitments by allowing us to individually prioritize tasks in our own workflow.
- Trello and Teamwork Project Manager
Asana lets you view things in tasks. Trello is more geared toward projects with their board layout. I find Asana to have the best user interface of all project management softwares. It may be missing some functionality (like budgeting and time tracking -- which you can add on with integrations), but I feel that I can actually use it. With the other project management tools I get frustrated by trying to figure them out that I don't use them at all.
