Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • It's simple to customize Asana dashboard according to my needs. Again, it's simple to plan, manage and execute projects effectively with Asana. It's simple to collaborate with my team on project assignments with Asana. It's also simple to track project progress with Asana.
  • It is simple to plan and orchestrate daily tasks and projects with Asana. It enhances real-time team collaboration. It is simple to track project progress using Asana.
  • It's extremely easy to get onboarded to the tool and actually learn to utilize all of its features, workflow automation and triggers are a must-use feature if you are on the paid plan.
  • * Workflow Builder has allowed other tools to be automated together without the need to use external platforms for integration such as Appy Pie or Zapier, which despite the fact that these platforms that I have just mentioned are very useful within almost any company to automate all the work is also important that each platform can have internal automations as Asana is currently starting to do. With Workflow Builder I can create processes that do pretty much a lot of my work managing a project and it's all done automatically, so I very rarely integrate integration platforms when using Asana as everything can be found right there within their platform. * Another tool that has been quite useful to me throughout the use of Asana is Workload since it has allowed me to manage staff or work teams from different projects more easily, I say this because this feature allows me to see the days when people they have workloads and what capacity they have available to assign tasks. A clear example of how Workload has benefited me is that when managing the assignment of a task I can see the availability or workload that each person has and thus not assign more tasks that could lower the performance of a person having tasks that he will not be able to complete due to excessive work, so before assigning a task I go to the Workload panel and thus verify the availability and workload of each one of my work team. * Thanks to the hundreds of integrations I can make my job much easier since I don't need to pass data from other platforms to this one to have everything connected (and vice versa) since everything stays interconnected. This has resulted in me counting on being able to have Asana Calendar connected to Google Calendar, so I have more control over my to-dos and other to-do lists. Also, with Adobe Creative Cloud I can facilitate my marketing by being able to have the projects and tasks both in asana and in Adobe Creative Cloud since the information is shared reciprocally.
  • With Asana it has been possible to integrate very well the calendars of the different emails that I currently have, this was very useful for me since I did not have to manually synchronize all the notes and important events since they are currently a very heavy load to carry out that work. So the full integration with the Outlook and Gmail calendar was the best thing that happened to me to be able to integrate all the events within the projects and thus have easier reminders Without having to start from scratch to make notifications of each upcoming event and assigned tasks within a project. The board is very personalized, this gives me a lot of freedom to be able to have what I want to see once I log in to this platform. The main screen is the most important thing to be able to highlight what is most relevant while managing a project, so I can add different sections or tasks, lists, some calendars or everything that interests me to know when I'm managing not one but several projects. It was useful to be able to have the option to approve since being able to verify if the work is done is important For the combination of a project to be very effective since within my company we avoid having setbacks and that certain pre-established norms are skipped. So with Asana you can have approval once the assigned jobs or tasks are verified that they have been completed correctly with all the steps to follow so that the completion of a project is very effective since within my company we avoid having setbacks and that break certain pre-established rules. So with the healthy one you can have approval is once the assigned jobs or tasks are verified that they are completed correctly with all the steps to follow and with their well-written documentation marking all the steps which the results were obtained. It is natively available for desktops on both Windows, Mac this was very useful for me as I can sync all tasks and projects on all devices and not just web version and desktop version. It gave me the ease of being able to focus on projects without using the browser since in the past that was the only way to be able to use Asana at that time. The mobile application, in turn, is very complete, just like the writer versions, regardless of whether it is for the web or native to each desktop operating system, so I don't miss out on certain functions that this platform may have, but everything is already there. integrated into any mobile device regardless of the operating system you are using is Android or iOS.

Cons

  • I'm yet to encounter any negative issues with Asana since it meets my project management needs.
  • I haven't experienced any drawbacks with Asana as it works perfectly.
  • Price can be a it hefty when you reach the enterprise level, other than that, the tool is epic.
  • * It is possible to see the list of tasks in a very ordered way, but for me sometimes it is not very useful since I would like to be able to order the tasks by priority and not by completion date. This would give me a better advantage when it comes to organizing my tasks and focusing more on those that require a lot of attention to detail, as well as the effort that must be applied to other tasks regardless of the differences in delivery time. This function of ordering by priority added to the Workload function will allow to better manage the performance and availability of each employee in the event that new tasks are to be assigned, thus being able to have the work team more organized in each project that is being managed. * It can take a long time to get used to Asana even if you use the free version, you have to get used to it very well in order to streamline projects and easily manage assigned tasks. By this I do not mean that you have to get a specialty in project management, but rather because of the number of functions that Asana has, and it can be overwhelming to learn how to use all its tools without any problem. So, if someone is thinking of adding Asana to their company, they must consider that they must have prior knowledge of this platform before they can get a good return on investment, because if they don't, they will be affected in the projects they manage when implementing Asana and they are just beginning to know how it works, making this a waste of time and money. * There is a confusion with the assigned subtasks, since it is shown as a normal task which is not the case since when a member of my team reviews their tasks, they will think that they have work overloaded and in reality, it is not. Therefore, my recommendation is to show the tasks, but if they are more specific tasks of those tasks which several people are involved, they should be seen as a respective subtask and not as tasks only since it overloads the task list with repetitive events. and also confuses when knowing what tasks have been assigned to me.
  • I'd like a way to be able to use notes even when I'm not connected to the internet, that would be very useful for annotating or saving comments that I can use later without having to connect to the internet to use Asana. It would be most helpful if I use Asana via the mobile app to annotate, as if I use an external app I would have to manually sync everything and waste time in the process. So I hope that in a future update they can include using Asana or at least taking notes without necessarily having to be connected to the Internet. It would not be bad if Asana could integrate or adapt to small projects for small businesses, this would be very useful since this platform has a small learning curve which is difficult to adapt to being able to handle many complex functions that the interface brings. There are many options which the user must learn before being able to manage a project correctly, so this platform should adapt to different types of projects as well as being a workspace which would be easy for the end user to change, just You should click on a tool that allows you to select whether it is a small project or a large text that has several particular positives and many tools are required to carry out a complete project management. The integration of a button is missing that could undo an error made within this platform, for example, delete tasks by mistake or delete a person within a project. So any change that is made within this platform could have steps back indefinitely, as if it were a photo or text editing program. This would be very helpful since in case of making mistakes you can always recover the information without any problem and also you would not have to start from scratch when you accidentally delete an entire project. Some kind of backup would also be nice, which allows you to restore by versions all the movements made within Asana.

How can I visualize the projects in board view or list view, in both ways I I have felt quite comfortable, since this platform provides advanced statistics and details in each of the views of my projects, which allows me to monitor each of the details of each project in real time.

This platform also has a system to count the work hours of each employee, in addition, I can also count the hours or the exact time that each employee takes to complete an activity. Since I started it, this system is quite suitable for me since this allows you to count the general hours that each employee has dedicated to the development of a specific project.
  • Zoho Projects has been a platform that has not only helped me manage each of my company's projects, but has also worked perfectly to manage all kinds of planned activities and tasks in my company. One of the main things I like about this platform is that it allows me to manage and monitor each of the tasks in real time, I can monitor how many participants there are in each activity that is being developed or in each planned activity, in addition, it also allows me to monitor everything that the participants of a type of work that is developing a specific activity are talking about, this monitoring service helps me a lot to be able to visualize the work that my employees are doing in real time. Another of the things that I like about this platform is the main color and how organized it is, mainly because it is able to divide each of the areas of my company and divide all the activities that I have planned for each specific area. It provides separate columns for each sector of the company, and allows me to know the activities that have been planned for each sector. I liked this main panel since it allows me to visualize each activity broadly and individually for each sector. In addition, I have loved the excellent Reminders and alerts service that this platform has, it sends me alerts when an activity has been completed or when an activity has not been completed within the time limit, in addition, it also allows me to send notifications or reminders to participants of each planned activity.
  • Zoho Projects is the ideal platform to have a correct vision of the project you want to develop, with the help of this platform to make a correct administration of each one of the resources and the budget that you have for each one of the projects, in addition, you will be able to manage the large number of participants that each project will have. One of the main things that I like about this platform is that you can manage the budgets, the platform allows you to add each of the materials that you will need and the cost of each of them, in addition, it will provide you with suggestions to reduce the general cost of the project. budget, this function is relatively important since it helps you to take care of the capital of your company and helps you to develop the project without using many resources. Another thing that I like about this platform is that you can integrate an unlimited number of participants for each project, in addition, I also love that you can closely monitor the activities that the participants are developing, you can find out what an employee has contributed to the project, you can know if the activities that have been programmed for the contribution to the project have already been completed, without a doubt this function is very important and helps you avoid having employees without contributing anything.
  • Zoho Projects is one of the best softwares to manage projects out there. It comes with many useful tools that can be customized to my liking, many templates for different types of projects that can also be customized to fit into the project theme and adjust it the most to make sure the project is done in a great manner and succeeds in the market. I like that Zoho Projects has a variety of features that help track the process of many projects, we can track every task and make sure we complete every milestone that we place and every goal that we create, it is very easy to complete all tasks when they can be sorted in different views for very digestion of them, I can choose different charts to view the projects such as Gantt charts, which are my favorite, because they allow me to have a robust view of the most important tasks that need to be done in order to complete a project, and have a broader look at their dependencies. For this software, there are many things that speed up projects, and one of them is its incredible extensive reporting function. I feel very confident while using the reporting tool because it is very customizable and provides great information about the status of a project, with many analytics that allow me to have more insights on what is going on and things that may have been missed, it gives great information on finished projects and helps me make different decisions and create different tasks that will help keep a positive outlook on these projects. With Zoho Projects, it is very easy to manage multiple projects at the same time since its tools are carefully designed to carry out multiple duties and different tasks, it makes the management process much more simple and creates a space where it is actually easy to have all projects under control, and manage all the subtasks that come with every project. I think this is a great solution to keep a stable workflow and not have all the information about projects all over the place on different applications or softwares, it is very easy to import data into this software and start managing it all in this place.
  • Zoho Project has a powerful resource solution, that allows business to strategize of processes to work on. Besides, the application has excellent employee tracking system, where every process is well identified and acknowledged. The time planning or operations scheduling are also included in the program.

  • Zoho Projects offers us to plan professional projects and gives us a clear visibility of progress through clear Gantt charts.
