Asana
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to use and navigate through as well to see what has been done by other colleagues
What do you dislike about the product?
whenever you press enter it creates a new task when it doesn't need to. You can't use all functions unless you pay for it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
keeping communications flowing and see where everyone is at with their tasks.
Helpful
What do you like best about the product?
Love that people from different teams can track progress on projects in one place.
What do you dislike about the product?
Wish it integrated more easily with some other tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
So much time saved from not having to check in with others - can see progress just from Asana.
Functional but flawed
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to check off to dos and see list of tasks
What do you dislike about the product?
Subtasks and sections are confusing - frustrating that subtasks must be added to a project to show up in timeline
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Accountability and clear delineation of responsibilities
A good start to team communication
What do you like best about the product?
This app was definitely a step above simply using emails to communicate with the rest of my staff. We are able to keep different topics in different threads and set internal deadlines, while also seeing what other team members have accomplished by them marking a task "Complete."
What do you dislike about the product?
The emails every time somebody tags me! I understand this is good for constant updates and knowing the status of projects, but I hate the fact that my phone dings a million times in the evenings with other team members working on projects and asking questions. Asana never leaves my side it seems, and that is a good thing AND a bad thing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Productivity has increased now that we're all held accountable by others constantly viewing our statuses.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We have since switched to another project management service.
Seamless sharing among collaborators
What do you like best about the product?
This App has been very easy for my team members to adapt! The easy sharing of tasks and tracking of projects has been excellent.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of analytics. There is no ability for us to track our results against our goals.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana gives our team a boost in regards to organization and overall project management. It allows us to bring an added layer of accountability to all our team members.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is not an end-all software, meaning that it does not meet all the needs of a successful project manager, but it is ease to use and share among your team.
Good for a small business
What do you like best about the product?
This project has helped keep our different teams in sync by seeing what goes on from department to department, and where current projects are as far as completion schedules are concerned.
What do you dislike about the product?
Our small business is older and has a tendency to rely on old habits and the mantra "If it's not broken, don't fix it." Transitioning to Asana from the old standard (e-mail) has been a bit of a hassle but we see the benefits long term in using a site like this to help streamline communication in a more organized fashion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Instead of e-mailing questions to one another about project status, we can just login to Asana and get real time updates from different departments. Our waterjet operator has chosen to implement this means of communication and we've already seen great rewards from switching over (and he's much happier not answering a million emails a day!)
Nice product with rich and advance features
What do you like best about the product?
It is a good product that includes all features ranging from basic level .to advance level that are required in products under the category. Also its easy to use for all users. It makes the life easier to a much extent.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although its a nice product , but still it lacks in some areas like there are somethings that can be improved like its UI and UX can be more easier and loading of the pages and navigation among the .different screens in the tool can be made faster.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been using the product for some time in my work place. It has made the life easier and management of the projects and tasks has been much easier.
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.
Neutral
What do you like best about the product?
I wouldn't say that Asana helping me too much. It save me time, but not so much.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface is too busy for me and not so intuitive as I wish it will be.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Scheduling task, team collaboration
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.
