Asana is very user friendly

It has multiple configurations users can select from.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be great to have access controls per task.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management for a large team. Helped keep everything organized.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you can afford the paid version, definitely use it!
Asana gets the job done
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite part is being able to be in multiple team/project spaces and to see an aggregate of all of the spaces. I also love that I can create templates for different types of tasks - it makes collaborating and making sure we get all of the information we need very seamless. I like that there are multiple view options. I prefer to look at my tasks on a board; another team member prefers the list view. We're both able to consume the information in the way that works best for us without forcing everyone to use it that way. Lastly, being able to drag and drop things is great
Also, dark mode 😍 any tool that has dark mode is a winner in my book

What do you dislike about the product?
I skipped any sort of onboarding and walkthrough, so that's entirely on me, but without it I had a hard time learning how to use Asana to its optimal level. There's so many customizations and options and it took me a while to learn all of that. Again, not necessarily something that Asana is doing wrong.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I head our research team and we use it to track requests for research, their status, and to make sure we're doing all necessary follow-up activities after we close a research study. The benefit we realized is mainly more insight into what each person is working on as well as being able to track requests that get brought up but maybe aren't ready to execute. Before we might forget about it but now we just add it to the backlog and update the status/details when we're ready to do that study.
Our marketing team also uses it for their marketing calendar. I have visibility into that but don't actively interact with that project/team.

Don't skip any sort of training or onboarding like I did. As mentioned, Asana is very powerful so it's helpful to see everything you can do with it.
Asana review
What do you like best about the product?
It helps my workflow be the most organized! I just love all the features and use the board view the most frequently. I tend to forget my tasks less now and keeps me on my timeline.
What do you dislike about the product?
Hm, I'm not sure.. I don't love that when i get emails from Asana, when I click the "reply to this comment" button or something, it automatically opens Asana on my web browser instead of my desktop application, which makes me have to log in again.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Definitely keeping me on task with my timelines and finishing them by due dates. Previously, sometimes I would forget my tasks or follow ups, but ASANA reminds me to do them!

Great experience using Asana
What do you like best about the product?
I liked the organization and clean user interface. Helped us quickly and efficiently work through project tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was more of a way to integrate with other apps and automate the task generations. This would cut on manual intervention to track project status.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping structure and organization within our team as we work through project tasks.
Great Product For Simple Project Management
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ease of use and the time management it brings. Asana makes visibility into what each team member is working on very simple. Our marketing reviews weekly projects using Asana during our Standups.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be a little hard to navigate Asana when you have multiple projects you are on and assigned to. Deleting and changing people from teams and projects is a bit confusing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team collaboration, Task and project management, Progress updates, visibility
Easy Project Management Tool
What do you like best about the product?
It's very easy to use. The learning curve is very minimal. It is easy to set up tasks, subtasks, and loop people in. I've used several other project management tools in the past and some have extremely high learning curves and are honestly just too robust. Asana is a simple easy tool to use and fits the needs of a small company well.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing I truly dislike about Asana, other than that my previous agency wouldn't use it :)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are easily able to collaborate in a remote space with both team members and freelancers alike. It's easy to keep projects moving and see important deadlines.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use it! It is so easy to use and just overall a great tool.
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.
