As robust or simple as you need it to be
What do you like best about the product?
The upside of Asana is how it is flexible on what tasks you use it for. It can handle a complex corporate work plan, or just upgrade your basic calendar and to-do list style of management. Not to be missed are the recurring tasks, tying tasks to goals or larger org vision, and allowing Asana to manage any and all communication that is tied to a specific project. Even if tasks that may become overwhelming or overdue can seem more organized and doable. Bonus: Asana adds the fun in functional management. 🐕🐈Not to mention forums and endless training videos allows for some amazing, accessible support.
What do you dislike about the product?
For an organization like ours that is more democratic, Asana can break down the idea of who owns what. It's Ok most of the time, but it's quite common for more than one person to create his or her own tasks, often for the same project, and maybe not always in the same place.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping track of the many stages of a complex project, and at times, tracking the hours, is great to make for seamless project management.
It's a great bit of software IF you can convince your team to use it, and use it properly
What do you like best about the product?
Sounds simple, but the built-in light/dark mode is a big feature. It's straight-forward to use as an Administrator once your permissions are set up correctly.
The UI is very neat and there's lots of options for folders and sub-folders for tasks. For example you can have a main overarching Portfolio (Marketing) then projects in that portfolio (Design work) and then tasks in each Project for neat organisation. You can associate work to teams or to people or entire projects to teams or people. You can also create tasks on behalf of someone and message in-app as well.

What do you dislike about the product?
It wasn't obvious that permissions needed to be set up specifically prior to having people use it out-of-the-box. Because if you don't, there's literally zero way to delete or edit a project that was created by someone else, even if you're the admin who PAYS the very high subscription price of Asana. I've had to have multiple meetings with different employees to run them through manually giving me Project Admin of their Projects, JUST so I could delete the project or rename it. I can only imagine how much of a pain in the butt this would have been if I had 10x the amount of employees and hadn't noticed this earlier.

Transparency of work being completed by remote workers

It helps in automating many things and the interface is very userfriendly. Like this we safe a lot of time.

Integration and connection to other softwares is very good.
What do you dislike about the product?
Paying for another software and managing it, is sometimes not very good. We often ask ourself if it is needed to keep asana or if we could just build these things ourself.
I think for asana it is crucial to either work on features that make it irreplaceable or to work on the connection to other softwares and take over a crucial step which the others can't cover.
Also just more features are often not helpful, since many customers probably don't use many of them - just more features won't help them.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It combines different projects on one map and supports us in assigning tasks.
The problem that it solves is the easy usage and creation of big timetable's. Further it supports us in creating workflows and connecting them to other softwares.

Best task management solution
What do you like best about the product?
Works best when you go “all in” and use Asana as the one place to organize all your work and / or personal tasks
What do you dislike about the product?
Haven’t found new AI focused features to be useful
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeps our projects organized and on track
Asana decent product
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate that the program is user-friendly and can track roles/responsibilities of different team members.
What do you dislike about the product?
I doesn't seamlessly integrate other complimentary software that I use on a daily basis; thus, there are some redundancies in processes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Task and project management are the key uses of Asana.
Very nimble, but gets more challenging to manage with a heavy amount of projects.
What do you like best about the product?
Very flexible. I like the template builder and the ability to assign roles and not just people to templates for projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
If your ratio of projects to actual users gets to be something like 5 to 1 then it becomes more important to be able to have short, available, unique task numbers like K1356789. Even if it looks messy, it’d be nice to quickly highlight the most important tasks for team members who in total might have hundreds of open tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Assigning ownership to many tasks across many projects and people.
