Overall Satisfaction with Asana
A few of us at TLo use Asana as a project management tool to keep track of the projects and tasks for our current clients. Each person can track their individual to-dos, you can view all backlogged or in-flight tasks for a specific client, and you can communicate about all of the above inside the app.
Pros
- Keeping tracking of tasks for projects
- Keeping track of tasks for yourself and other employees
- Communicating about tasks, due dates, etc
Cons
- Recurring tasks are a bit weird in how they are re-generated each time you complete the previous one.
- It was a huge pain to switch email addresses/accounts when we changed our email domain.
- The board style management for tasks
- Reminders, recurring tasks, file management
- The fact that the tier we use is free
- It's been a nice way to keep track of our projects, which has a positive impact.
- It's free, so has no negative impact on ROI (besides maybe the time it takes to manage).
Basecamp was a great tool, but it was paid and things like recurring tasks and opening new projects was a pain. Asana, as a free tool, has been better for our organization as it serves the basic functions very well and is not complicated otherwise. I really like the kanban-board style presentation of the tasks in Asana as well, which Basecamp didn't have to my knowledge.
