Asana

What differentiates Asana from other similar products?

Asana is great since it provides a one-stop-shop for managing projects and tasks. It makes organizing chores easy and effective by offering information on upcoming schedules and daily updates on ongoing projects.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It's simple to start a new project or divide up existing ones into sub-tasks. Simple to set up and use, even for first-time users. The free version serves our needs just fine for the time being.

What do you dislike most about this product?

We are unable to assign a joint job. We need to make a copy of that operation and give it a new label. It's the only choice available right now because we don't make use of the others.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

All of our jobs aren't at one convenient location. Each worker has access to a notebook with information on the project. Information about the progress of a project can now be accessed instantly.

What differentiates Asana from other similar products?

It can assign different parts of a project to different team members.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I like that we were able to create dependencies to divide tasks up amongst different staff members. When one person would check off a portion of the job, it would then trigger the next person to complete their step. It's also nice that there is a browser and app version of the software.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The setup was very time-intensive to the point that I wondered if we were creating more work for ourselves by setting up these various flows and templates. The way assignments were shown was confusing to a lot of team members.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

It's a better tool for larger teams with larger tasks.

What differentiates Asana from other similar products?

What is very useful is that it allows various views of the project in the form of lists, boards, timelines, calendars, workflows, and more. There are so many choices! We can use it intensively or just assign tasks the easiest way. I tried a lot of different task managers and they all started adding things that ended up being just complicated stuff. Asana is the first step to ditch email and start using the manager.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Simple, install anywhere, easy to run, and collaborate with the team. The templates feature is probably one of my favorites, and I’ve bought templates a few times because I’m very good at using the system, although I’m not very good at creating them from scratch.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I don’t know if this is still the case because I started using Asana about 5 years ago, but the integration was difficult. I had to find someone outside of Asana to help me, but then everything went fine and I ended up buying some of their templates.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

With a user-friendly, intuitive platform, Asana makes it simple for independent contractors to collaborate with clients and streamline project management. I can handle everything in Asana rather than in lengthy email threads with clients, which boosts productivity and communication. The best feature is that it enables the division of major projects into smaller jobs while offering greater flexibility and more views than other tools of a similar nature, including lists, calendars, workflow, and timelines.
