Love Asana!
What do you like best about the product?
How easy it is to quickly add task, organize projects and collaborate with teammembers.
What do you dislike about the product?
That my current company hasn't adopted Asana (yet!)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Don't forget tasks as often which has increased my accountability and overall workflow.
Amazing Project Management Tool
What do you like best about the product?
I have ADHD so a lot of menial tasks are hard to push through but Asana has a visual rewards system after completing tasks that make earning it fun and exciting that doing the work is easier. Also love the ease of managing tasks for other team memebers and within projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's hard to work with the integrations of the platform and the desktop application is a little finiky. I believe some more TLC in these departments would help.
The desktop app isn't friendly to merge down and get full access to all the tools at a windowed view. But otherwise works similarly to the internet browser.
Integration with Slack is hard to manage and not sure how it works.
Emailing to a project is hard to track. Wish it could set up a task similar to emailing yourself via asana. Trying to email a task for someone else ends up being a multi-step process.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Main problem is task management. Our team was using about 7 different spreadsheets to manage tasks through different projects and always losing sight of what needed to be done
By properly assigning tasks team members were finally able to see their projects and assignments in one dashboard instead of multiple locations

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Free version is very effective and paid versions for teams really helps with workflow management and recurring tasks following similar outlines.
Using Asana
What do you like best about the product?
I really enjoyed the ease of use and customization.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't an option to assign a task to multiple people.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am solving the troubles of starting a business with Asana.
Asana is one of the best project management tools I've ever used, but...
What do you like best about the product?
I love three things about Asana:
1. Intuitive and user-friendly: before using Asana at my current company, I had never heard of it. By clicking around, I was able to figure it out in 3 days.
2. Easy to cross-collaborate across a company: Whether it's assigning others tasks, putting in due dates, or working on a company-wide initiative, Asana makes it really, really easy to work on large scale projects across mutliple players in a company.
3. Multiple views: I can view my tasks as a list, as a board, or on a timeline. Asana is customizable-which makes it great for almost anyone

What do you dislike about the product?
Here's the BUT:
When there are many collaborators, using multiple Asana boards, and combining it with my own task list, it's easy to get lost within the tool. I've had many, many occassions where a project deadline gets lost, or communication was hard to follow.
Additionally, sometimes there are too many clicks required to get in or out of a task. I often find myself two layers into a task, and there is not an intutitive way to get one level up without closing the entire task and then having to click back into the layer you were looking for.

Versatile Project Management at Your Fingertips
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is at its best with its flexible and fluent interface. Being web-based ensures it is available 24/7 and updates live for all team members. The platform seems simple when you first use it, but it can be quite powerful once you learn its ins-and-outs.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not a problem with the product itself, but a struggle we have at our organization is it is difficult to get people to use it. If not everyone is using it, it becomes challenging to see the full benefits of Asana. Everyone needs to buy in to get the most out of Asana.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Obviously, we track our strategic goals and projects with Asana. It's great to be able to assign action items and see the items get crossed off the list as we go. Being able to comment on tasks and collaborate has been of great value.
The notification system is key to keeping our staff on-track. It reminds them of upcoming or overdue tasks to complete. Threaded conversations in each task present a great opportunity to collaborate and keep leaders up to date on the latest progress.
Additionally, we use Asana for our meeting agendas. This ensures we all have access to the latest agenda and can remember items that come out of previous meetings and can complete any follow-up items.

Great for multi projects or team work
What do you like best about the product?
If great if you work with multiple projects or duties at the same time, or if you work with a team. It keeps everything organized, in time, and perfectly distributed
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes you can forget to asign a person or the time and asana soes not tell you, you have to be carefull about it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used to work with a large team so everybody know what to do, who is next, their due dates, etc. Also, I work with multiple projects at the same time so, it so easy for me to have everything in control with asana.
Asana is great

We love how it helps us manage several projects across various clients at once
What do you dislike about the product?
We wish there was a way to apply changes to our template across all projects

We're solving collaboration internally and externally with clients
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana really shines when it comes to collaborating with our clients. It's easy to bring them into Asana and keep our projects segmented.
Asana
What do you like best about the product?
It was easy to keep my tasks organized and clear within Asana. I feel like this is great for independent contributors and small teams. As teams grow larger, there are better tools available for this type of functionality.
What do you dislike about the product?
As our team began to grow, things felt like the got lost in Asana. It seemed harder to find what you were looking for and there wasn't much ability to collaborate in some of the ways that I now see are more effective/productive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using as an independent contributor, to keep track of my own tasks within various projects has been very beneficial to me. It's easy to see what exactly is accountable to me and keep it organized based on project/priority, etc.
