Fantastic Project Management Software
What do you like best about the product?
I love that you can create and nest subtasks for clearer organization. I also love that you can tag your colleagues, as well as assign specific tasks, which helps everyone stay organized and on top of things.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that it's difficult to view task lists in full screen. To do that I have to copy the link to the list into a new tab, and I often accidentally click out of it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps our team stay organized and on top of things. I helps prevent things from falling through the cracks, and where things in emails can get overlooked, Asana tasks are more difficult to miss when you're going through a list.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider it's compatibility with other products you use, like Slack.
Effective and easy project management
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to create projects and tasks. Very user friendly. Team collaboration and file sharing is one of the best features.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have a free version. I feel that most of my negative feedback would be solved by paid plan. Perhaps too many email notifications is a major dislike. I wish the notification settings had a more robust filtering option. Also, it would be great if the card view projects could be automatically organized by date, like Trello.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Improve project management, task delegation and collaboration. We find it beneficial to have the project data available at one spot and the ability to attached files to tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great for small teams. Asana offers a free version which perfect to get you going. Our team has been using free Asana for a number of years now.
Organize and direct projects in a very easy way
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a very complete platform to follow tasks and projects as a team, its interface has a great design and it is also very interactive, it allows me to add tasks, discussions and upload all kinds of files. It also has a native mobile application for Android and IOS very useful to take it anywhere.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is almost impossible to prioritize the tasks, in addition the complements or integrations of third parties are somewhat expensive for a small team, I could say that the free version is very limited, so it is not recommended for large projects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can keep up with the other departments of my work since each team member can upload their updates, it is also very useful to keep the team organized and finish tasks on time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Excellent tool for large teams of people.
Love Asana. Very flexible. Feels right for any project.
What do you like best about the product?
I love the new charting / dependency tools. I love the easy to user interface. Everything is very well thought out and intuitive to grasp. The help videos and blogs are fantastic and make this an easy to pick up system.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like how subtasks/sub-subtasks get lost for daily workers. For example. The primary task when visiting a project is assigned to a project lead such as finish Services website pages. Now we have sub tasks such as create content and find images. Within those sub tasks we have tens of sub-subtasks. Assigning each image or each page of content to a specific person. When I come to a project, the view presented gives me no indication that I have work to do on the main task. I spend tons of time jacking with searches and filters to find my work. I have hundreds of things assigned to me at any given moment. Sorting my tasks by project results in tons of traversing up the tasks tree to understand the context of the assignment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organization. Communication. Status Updates without interrupting work.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is a great tool. You get into it what you get out of it. When you scale an organization and/or work on huge projects you need to remember asana doesn't replace project administration. It assists it like a precision tool. You have to have a plan of how to structure and implement the project in Asana prior to the project. Get your team trained early.
Great for small teams!
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to add and assign subtasks and view your calendar of task due dates
What do you dislike about the product?
Setting up different teams and adding predecessors is a bit difficult
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it for task management and delegation.
It help you realize what to do each day, let people know what they need to do for completion of greater tasks, and and delegate tasks to other team members

Recommendations to others considering the product:
It works well for small teams, however if your team is large, a lot of work needs to be put in to make it streamlines and organized.
It can be confusing if managers are trying to find their employees tasks in a group, and there are a lot of ways to organize that which can sometimes be a hinderance.

Fair experience
What do you like best about the product?
I like the feature that you can assign people and send them the notification to let them know about the task. Also, being able to set the due dates is also helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
- A lot of email traffic.. Sending notification is good however, every single change that you make , other people are getting notofied which this sometimes might be disturbing for other people.
- If you're using basic plan , you cannot get the gantt chart feature which I think it is a key feature for a project management tool

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a company we have a lot of projects either small or big and sometimes it is getting hard to follow each of them. So, to have a clear instructions and being able to see who is responsible from each subtasks make the project more efficient and help it to move faster.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a good start for small size companies to keep track of their projects. but if you have recourses , I think you should consider having a business account cause seems like upgraded version has more useful features.
Great project management tool for collaborative teams
What do you like best about the product?
I particularly like how flexible the tool is to be adapted to each team's workflows. The ability to add custom fields makes it very flexible. The ability to add the same task to different projects make sit possible for teams to organize their projects the way they want without having to duplicate tasks, thus making it possible to have a full understanding of the work planned and being done across all teams. The integration with the Google docs suite of products is also a great advantage.
What do you dislike about the product?
Flexibility comes at a cost, since users might start using different flavours for the workflows. It's important to make sure the workflows are well defined, communicated and then enforced, to make sure things don't get chaotic.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing a large number of projects with multi-functional teams who have members scattered across the world.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you try to bite more that you can chew you might not get the value you expect.
Start simple and get your feet wet in the tool. As you evolve and you learn to use the product, look at more advanced features and start adding more functionality to your processes.

Extremely useful and very easy to get people on board
What do you like best about the product?
The simplicity when you first start using it. It's immediately useful and you don't need to go through help pages and forums to get going. It's very intuitive, visual and definitely helps the work flow in our team. The new Asana Business, which will also include resource management, will make this definitely the tool to use in my opinion. This was a shortcoming when researching which tool to use, but now it makes the tool very complete.
What do you dislike about the product?
The "Home" page is not very useful for the time being.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Large quantities of projects across different teams makes it hard to coordinate and be aware of what everyone is doing. Using Asana makes it much easier to have an overview and make sure everyone is working on the tasks they are supposed to.
Amazing for task management
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite Asana feature is when it automatically creates a task when I send it to special email. Many other apps do this, but Asana creates tasks from emails just as I expect it. I’ve tried many of task and project management tools. Asana is so successful for one simple reason – its dashboard looks like an inbox. Most people send and get their task by email and get used to inbox design and structure.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana can lead to inbox-overload. By default, you are subscribed to updates on any task that you create or follow. Updates include someone marking a task complete, leaving a comment on a task, or adding a file to a task. This means that if your coworker adds a file, makes a comment, then assigns the task back to you, then marks the task complete, you're looking at 4 emails in 10 seconds.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps to control every task of my team. With ready integrations (namely Slack and Google Docs integrations) Asana makes communication and cooperation between my team members more effective. Asana has also improved performance time and quality of completed tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
my team managed to use free version for almost two years. We upgraded to paid version only when our team grew and we had to add more people to our workspace. Check for Asana user cases posted in their blogs. There are some really good tips there which will ease your work with Asana. Also Asana promotes agile project management and you can create a kanban board for your project if necessary.
Hard to learn but easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
I like how many different features there are to make task managing easier. I also like the feeling of accomplishment when you mark a task complete! Due date reminders are helpful too.
What do you dislike about the product?
It seems overwhelming at first because it's hard to figure out where everything is located and how to use it, but once you figure it out it is super easy to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Task management, responsiveness, and updating on projects without having a ridiculously long email thread.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take the time to figure out how to use it and it will be worth it.
