Overall Satisfaction with Asana
Actually Asana is being used across the whole organization, but my area was the one that introduced the tool to the company. We needed to find a tool that allows us to track our tasks and to organize the team's tasks, share the projects with other areas, schedule the projects, set due dates, share files and information, etc. Asana address all those issues.
- It's very intuitive to use and its interface is modern and nice. Other project management tools don't have as nice an interface as Asana has.
- It allows you to manage a LOT of projects and to customize them separately depending on the characteristics of each one.
- It works smoothly in different navigators and also the desktop version works very well.
- It allows integrations with great tools, such as Everhour.
- The free version is very plain, I understand that nothing's for free but I think that, if it had some more functionalities available in the free version more people would buy the complete one.
- I would like to use Asana in my phone without having to download the app.
- Sometimes the notifications get spammy, I know you can deactivate some and activate others but, as default, they end up being spam and most of the times I lose the only ones I care about (when a task is done and when comments are made on a task).
- As a positive impact, our projects started to grow faster, smoother and (which I think is the most important aspect) and tidier!
- We (the team members) are not as stressed as we were, as we don't forget deadlines anymore and we keep track of what other teams involved in the projects are doing.
- The communication between teams involved in the project also got smoother and the actions taken to solve the problems started to be more visible to everyone.
Trello has an interface so confusing that we ended up tracking our tasks in Excel or Google Sheets. The project management was poor, I think it's designed for companies that are not involved with so many clients like mine, and that don't need to track a lot of projects at the same time. Asana is more user-friendly in every aspect.
