Overall Satisfaction with Asana
As an instructional designer, I guide a number of faculty in developing fully online courses. I use Asana to track the progress of each course development. This use includes long-term programs as well as temporary projects. Currently, there are only a few of us in the organization using Asana, but I hope to get my team on board to replace the tool we use for collaboration.
- I find Asana's user interface easy to navigate and manipulate. Drag and drop options are built-in, the graphics are clean and clear, and it is easy to figure out how to accomplish tasks I hadn't previously done.
- Asana is versatile, allowing various layouts (list or tiles) to accommodate the various programs and projects I need to manage.
- Asana has good collaboration tools. Team members can receive real-time updates (if they choose) when tasks are completed, and messages can be sent within Asana.
- Asana has great integration with Google, Microsoft, Slack, and other tools to really tie it into my organization's existing tools.
- Asana uses a "freemium" model. I currently use the free instance, but there are many more useful features available for the Premium model.
- I have never found My Tasks, the to-do list of Asana, to be particularly helpful. I would like to see an opportunity to prioritize those tasks on the to-do list manually.
- Asana has a number of icons available for project links, but it would be nice to upload custom icons.
- Asana helps me stay on track. It's easy to get distracted, but a project planned in Asana brings me back down to the ground level to get things done.
- Asana is great for collaboration on projects, planning projects, and completing projects.
- Asana can handle a number of teams within an organization, which will eliminate irrelevant updates from other people's projects.
Asana has a better user experience and user interface than other project management software I have used. It is much easier to learn than the other products, and I have been able to customize its use in better ways than I have accomplished with others. Much more than a to-do list.
