Asana Software

In General, it turned out to be an interesting solution that does not require much time to master the product and start working and thus using this product you can easily organize the work of your whole organization and bring your business to success.

Pros

A great tool for managing projects and tasks in the organization. Has a free version to test the features of this product. Quite clear and pleasant graphical interface. Using Asana, you can organize your tasks in different ways, such as list, or in dash board style. Asana offers a fairly simple interaction between teams. Plus, Asana offers calendars, notifications, reminders, file sharing, history tracking, and search functionality.

Cons

Of the minuses can be noted only a problem with permissions, in which all users have the same permissions and is quite very easy to someone accidentally delete something, but fortunately it is also quite simple to return everything to the back.

Pros

Asana is a really great platform for keeping track of the progress of team projects. Team members are always notified on the progress of their projects and helps everyone know what's going on as everyone in the team gets notified via email. There are also many integrations that help track work and make things efficient. There's no need to go back and forth with emails and chat cause you can have all communication within Asana to keep everything in one place so you don't forget details which can happen when you communicate in multiple platforms.

Cons

The only thing that may be a Pro or a Con is that EVERYBODY gets notified even for communication for a specific team member. This may sometimes be a hassle when there are a lot of team members in one project who are in constant communication. With all the notifications of everyone coming in, your email's inbox can get a bit messy. There's a way around to "private messaging" but it totally defeats the purpose of getting everyone in the loop. It may help if there's a function for team members to choose the option of getting the notification or not when he/she is not mentioned.

Pros

Track the tasks and set the reminders which is easy to use. Emails also can be sent through this tool.

Cons

Few issues are available in updating the details in other sheets such as calendar, conversations, timeline etc.

If you're a businessman or entrepreneur and need some organization with your everyday work, get Asana it's a great investment.

Pros

I love this software because I've used it for everything I do. From trainings to meetings and even for tasks I need to assign my assistant. The options to add subtasks, create dropdown option for projects and a lot more makes it the most amazing tool I need that is essential for my job.

Cons

Unless you get the Premium feature, you wont get the best things from Asana just a a usual checklist. I got the premium so I got the best!

Tracking out the progress, allows better team collaboration, Prioritize tasks on the dashboard, drives out better results.In general, a Project can be categorized and can be divided into goals to employees, which make each piece of work traceable.

Pros

One of the best team collaborating and productivity app built to showcase the tracking of the project. Named as editor choice award, and originally built by Facebook co-founder to efficiently track the progress of the employees then opened to enterprise level and one of the common app which you see as an integration in Dropbox, google drive, Evernote, zipper and harvest.

Cons

It is an app from ownership can be extended at that point, access to the project and it's deadline creates an enterprise and contract company to reach their goals on time, but not every time. A time allowance should also be given for better work-life balance. Reported Big projects simultaneously can be divided into minimal parts.

This program has changed the productivity of our office -- and has kept us consistent from project to project by creating and utilizing templates that reflect every step of our management process.

Pros

Great visual platform, good organizational structure. Really appeals to those who love to check things off their lists

Cons

Limited Features in the Basic Version, Haven't found a way to make sub-projects within a larger project.

Pros

Its very straightforward and very easy to learn. You can implement it to your team with less training and evaluation. If you are looking for a simple project management that you can use right away this is it.

Cons

It lacks some of the features that we are looking for such as detailed sub-tasks. It is quite expensive than other competitors.

Pros

Asana proved useful while we were smaller. It helped us track work on a closer level and stay in touch with our teams.

Cons

It doesn't scale well to large applications. Higher up developers and directors needed a broader spectrum unfortunately.

Pros

You can use it as team building and standardization of any procedures
Also, great for your private use

Cons

I cannot think of any.
It might be hard for some staff who don't care about sharing their knowledge.
It is scary to them. But you can identify who is passionate about the team growth.

Try it for free first and check if it works in your normal daily routine. I think this is great for a smaller company or organization that is just getting started. For mid to large size you might want a more central system to keep track of tasks.

Pros

It's visually nice to look at and very strait forward. Everything is relatively east to learn if you have never used any CRM or mrp system before. This task management software let's you group certain tasks and crjste sub tasks as well.

Cons

Sometimes its too simple and doesn't have the more advanced settings and configurations as other similar software. The notifications don't feel as concerning compared to other systems.

Perfection in one program.

Pros

1. Excellent for manage your employees, the activities they have to do and the progress they make. 2. Asana has an app that help you to control everything, so if you are a chief you can stay at home and monitor the work, and if you are the employee the app let you be connect everytime you needed. 3. Easy to use and with an attractive aesthetic.

Cons

1. I did not really find anything that can be seen like a bad thing, but if you are not working in a Company I recomend don`t use it, because Asana has many functions that are not required for personal management.

Don't try to talk anyone into Asana! I have found the successful launches are as follows 1. Its your team and you will only work through Asana and its just what it is. ( not the best feeling roll out, but I have never not had a team member come around one day and have a list of..did you knows about Asana features) 2. When someone is talking through an issue they are having that you know Asana could easily solve politely build the project bones right then and there and car sell them (wouldn't it be great if you had a tool that could show you... or how easy would your job be if you could always find the document xx emailed to you for project....) and when the head is nodding flip your screen towards them and be like "would it look something like this? 3. Just start using it and start rocking your job and when people start to wonder how you have organized your life and work in such a short period of time. tell them you aren't sharing your secret or your secret software... and I'll be damned if they don't all figure out what you are using and just plan adopt it and them come back around like they are some sort of secret tech agent that figured out your secret and cannot believe you were holding this back from them....even though you had a 3 month internal adoption campaign for it earlier in the year...*head shake*

Pros

Asana is a very easy to pick up software. I stumbled across it while on the search for something to help me stay on top my teams progress on the multitude of small to medium size projects they were involved in at our company. At the time my team was struggling to organize the fire drill level projects that seemed to be dropped off in person, emailed, or communicated through a variety digital outlets all day every day. A the time I was wasting time trying to help the five year old organization dial in on a communication method and project management philosophy. Having no luck trying to fix the problem company-wide I turned inward for a tool to help our team. Asana was exactly what we needed. The two biggest function i used right out of the gate were To do list and Email forward to task (forward any email into Asana through either a general email or a project specific email - whoever you put in the [To] becomes the owner of the task [CC] becomes a follower [subject] is the task title [body] becomes the task description. So many executives would just email me all day long with things that specific people on my team took care of, before Asana I had to email it to them and then keep a list of items to remember to follow up on and to follow up with the executive to make sure they got the response or service they were looking for. Enter Asana - Same as before I forward the email along adding the Asana email, big difference is now I have a digital list of what tasks I have forwarded on, can see the solution provided, can see the response from the executive, and get to sleep at night when my team member checks it of as done and it clears from my assigned to others list. Also helped with repeat questions as the executive team started to see the change in our department they slowly started to adopt Asana for themselves and their teams. Onvce they started interacting through Asana we stopped getting common repeat questions because as soon as they would start typing it the system would pull up previous items and ask if any of these were relevant to their question. Win Win, less emails, people empowered to have the answers they need without needing to file every communication themselves, only have to follow up on tasks I've assigned out when I get the "hey should someone have done something with this" pop up when the system feels like a task is going longer than usual. Also connects with ... nearly everything

Cons

The dashboards are very basic. You are better off tracking larger projects between a three way Asana, Instagant, Harvest integration. It is great that you can create templates for larger projects or tasks that reoccur so you don't have to rebuild it every time, but its a pain that you cant have the people who do the task assigned to the template. you can but then they get blown up with reminders and end up spending time searching for to-do's that are not real because its in the template.

Pros

Asana really helps us to properly keep track all our projects tasks and assign them to our members. We were also able to put deadlines on it. It is very easy to use and I am very much comfortable with it.

Cons

I do not see any cons at this moment. We are all satisfied by the service its provides....Great project management software ever.

Pros

Strengthens, supply and almost imposes the Collaborative Work, the environment is very modular and very friendly ..

Cons

It is not 100% adaptable to the agile methodologies (Scrum) and it lacks to be complete in the traditional PM .. waterfall..Inversion in licenses for very large equipment can be expensive this affects the price / value ratio ..

Pros

Asana is web-based, nothing to download. It is an internal (company) project management tool to help reduce the volume of emails, meetings etc. The software is free for groups up to 15 people, there is a monthly fee after that. Asana also integrates with Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.

Cons

Asana is a task management program and is not too flexible outside of that scope. The desktop version is easier to use than the mobile app. Would like to be able to view a team timeline of projects.

Pros

Asana is very easy to setup and start using right away. You can create an account for free and the basic features are good enough to be useful.

Cons

The mobile app could use some work. Sometimes the sync between the mobile app and the website does not work well.

Pros

The ability to pass tasks back and forth and have them associated to multiple projects is helpful. The recently added ability to paste pictures is also a welcome addition.

Cons

The inability to sort the Inbox is a glaring omission. A large portion of my inbox notifications are either other people completing tasks or tasks being added to a project that I follow, but unfortunately I can't filter to these types of things and archive them in bulk, so I end up completely abandoning the inbox as it becomes useless.

Pros

Asana is easy to use, intuitive, I love the simplistic but efficient environment for managing traditional projects (waterfall). adapts to creative teams

Cons

I would like it to have some handling and follow-ups for cases or incidents and the software had more customization options and mayor collaboration features... in comparison with others it is a bit expensive

Pros

Great project management tool without a steep learning curve. Easy to setup, navigate, and collaborate with others. Great UI design and intuitive. Integrate other apps with ease.

Cons

There is not a lot that I don't like about Asana. They are always introducing new features. You don't have the ability to add your own sorters in "My Task" view, but that isn't a deal breaker.

For small to medium teams Asana can be a great project management tool for their internal projects. It offers a great user interface that is easy to use and easy for new hires to learn, which is always important with a growing team.

Pros

Asana does a great job of making it effortless for you to create projects, organize these projects into tasks and assign these tasks to other group members, as well as set deadlines that reveal timelines for the overall project. Also, members of the project can add tasks as needed as well and then it notifies others, even if it's assigned to another member.

Cons

It will take some amount of time to learn of it is multiple capabilities to understand what configuration and methods will work for you. The application itself can sometimes be pretty slow.
