Asana

What differentiates Asana from other similar products?

There are actually many similar products that have hit the market in recent years. I consider that it is basically based on the ease of adoption and use in the short term. We can start using Asana immediately with very little training or probably without any formal training. On the other hand, we can use templates to save a lot of time in parameterization, so currently, it is enough to make the decision and start immediately. What really makes Asana stand out is its platform support, which guarantees a robust tool that continually strives to increase value for customers and maintain high availability of the service.

Asana has simplified the look and feel in recent years, incorporating new features and integrations with third parties, which has made it more popular every day. From Asana we expect 360 visibility of our projects so that each of the collaborators can know the overdue activities, their task lists, and the activities that are most critical and require immediate attention. The reporting module may be one of the most interesting to use, especially when we have clients who need to know the progress of the project. With the Asana reporting module we explore how to communicate status in a presentable and intuitive way, without wasting time.

I have no negative aspects to report about Asana, in fact I find the Help module super interesting since it shows us the new things that have been incorporated into the tool, the tutorial videos, and access to the Asana academy.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Asana is definitely worth a try. There are other platforms that do not keep us focused and are difficult to maintain. With Asana we can start from scratch and implement activity tracking for an entire work team in a couple of days. It is very intuitive and its mobile version allows us to stay connected all the time.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Most of the high performing features comes with a high price tags, which hinders its usability to most of the users. We also can't really customize it much on the free plans as well. Tagging teammates and collaboration also requires tweaking and require technical support.

You can track and assess what you are willing to do with it, either its a whole project or just a simple tasks to manage, that way you can decide better what packages you should avail. Keep your tasks on the automated mode so you can avoid repetition and can perform operations in more manageable ways.

Asana is easier to use than most similar tools. I do not need any special training or technical background to understand it. The layout is clean and straightforward, so even a first time user can quickly figure out how to create tasks, assign work, and track progress without feeling confused or overwhelmed.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I really like is how simple and straightforward it feels to use. I do not need any special training, manuals, or technical background to get started. Even if someone is using it for the first time, they can open it up and immediately understand what is going on. It clearly shows what work needs to be done, who is responsible for it, and when it needs to be finished. There is no confusion, no digging through menus, and no need to ask others for help just to figure things out. It makes day to day work feel more organized and less stressful because everything is right there in front of us.

What do you dislike most about this product?

One thing I do not really like is the number of notifications. After a while, they can start to feel a bit irritating. If we are involved in multiple projects or teams, we keep getting alerts for every small update, comment, or change. Because of that, it becomes hard to tell which notifications actually need our attention and which ones do not.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I think it is a good idea to set up your notifications properly right at the start. If you do not, you will likely start getting alerts for every small update, and after a while it becomes too much. When that happens, important messages can easily get lost in the noise. Spending a few minutes early on to decide what you actually want to be notified about makes the whole experience much smoother and less stressful.
