Very Good
What do you like best about the product?
I like the drag and drop functionality and customizable board view.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd like the in-progress, waiting, not started color-coding to be more visible on the board.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organizing client tasks is very simple in Asana. Makes it so I know what my priorities are for each week.
Asana keeps our world going round
What do you like best about the product?
1,000' view of our business, backlog and timeline commitments to our clients. We tried previous programs, but they were not user-friendly nor gave us the data we needed. Being able to link (1) project to multiple projects sheets has helped my team run their departments.
What do you dislike about the product?
SUBTASKS are the hardest thing to manage. It's been a sore spot for our company and I had to change the way we operate our project sheets. Many times they get overlooked. We have converted them to either main level tasks or created a separate project and linked the "subtasks" as a hyperlink.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communication and anticipating what is coming down the pipeline. We used to spend hours PM timelines, now with the duration timelines we have been able to plan out the upcoming "busy season." A specific employee can now see if timelines overlap by creating a calendar to link all their main tasks/milestones and travel. Now we spend less time on "work about work" and can focus on our client's needs.
Organization at it's finest!

Asana has helped keep my tasks in line- due dates, subtasks, and additional comments for items have been key in staying organzied.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like enhanced search functionality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Items do not fall through the cracks as easily when utilizing Asana.
Asana is extremely user friendly and keeps your projects super organized, and all in one place!
What do you like best about the product?
How there are a ton of fields to use, and everything is color-coordinated to help differentiate everything and keep it all organized.
What do you dislike about the product?
No serious dislikes at the moment, but it would be great to be able to have sub-tasks show up on the portfolio (to easier track all projects)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping projects on track. Following processes and systems for each task and having all team members aligned when it comes to this.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use it! It's super beneficial and helpful for every day business needs!
Asana for Agile Marketing
What do you like best about the product?
Asana was instrumental in helping our global marketing team transition to Agile. It has helped us track and visualize our sprints and provided us with visibility to what other teams are working on.
We evaluated several other work management platforms but Asana was the clear winner due to its ease of use and attractive UI.

There's nothing that I dislike about Asana but there are some features that I'd like added. For example, we are using Asana to house campaign and content calendars and it would be nice to be able to see who has viewed the calendars and when.

Best projecttool to manage your workflows
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is an intuitive tool that doesn't require any extensive training to be used. Making projects, tasks and subtasks and assigning these to project member is the simplest thing to do. This way you can create easy project or task lists with all the status updates you need. And it's highly customizable for ones needs so Asana doesn't dictate what you need, but you can create what is needed for your own situation. When standard procedures are annoying for you, you can just automate parts of the process in Asana also which spares you time. The continuous updates that are being released make the tool better every month.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like a full integration with Outlook tasks and agenda. It's now only possible to create tasks from Outlook e-mails.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting an overview of all your work tasks and projects
Not losing track of tasks progress statuses
Being able to share the task lists projects with third parties easily
Less e-mail traffic because you focus on communicating through Asana

Review by 6DT
What do you like best about the product?
We loved Asana for our bookkeeping firm and we need to an app that would also create invoices.
We also loved the tier training sessions for our staff.
We also loved the tier training sessions for our staff.
What do you dislike about the product?
We could not make invoices for our time spent on a project. We could have used an invoicing app but it was too expensive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management, facilitation to modify a batch of projects and tasks.
Better management of projects.
Better management of projects.
We’d be lost without Asana!
What do you like best about the product?
Love how "approachable" Asana is. The friendly, light branding goes a long way, in my book! They also have a wealth of tutorials and templates written in plain English that help the daunting task of project management seem a little less overwhelming....and, dare I say, a little fun?
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a plus and a minus that Asana has so many awesome features. I sometimes feel like I'm not using it as efficiently as I could be, but it not really the software's fault that I'm a perfectionist!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our company rarely has time to all be on our computers tackling things at the same time- Asana helps us all stay on the same page from afar and keep important, pertinent info all in one place.
Asana has made it so much easier for me to manage my own time.
What do you like best about the product?
I love how flexible Asana is. I can create my own columns to track varying elements of my tasks. This makes it super easy to manage the time I estimate each task will take too. It's also easy to change the format for each project based on what that project is. Is it an internal learning tool the team needs to implement? Is it an event? Is it a general marketing campaign? These also look so different from each other, and Asana allows us to create based on that specific project.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's hard to get everyone onboard in Asana. There are so many pieces to learn, and nuances for our specific team, and can be time-consuming to get in and learn. So really the fact that Asana is so robust is the biggest challenge we face when getting members of our team to use the tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're working on getting people to plan further ahead with their small day-to-day tasks, but we're also using Asana to think through bigger projects that are coming down the pipe too. So ultimately Asana is our planning tool to manage our teams' work and workload.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would strongly recommend Asana because it's so customizable and yet easy to use at the same time.
Love Asana!
What do you like best about the product?
I truly appreciative the collaborative nature of Asana, allowing me to use it for both my professional and personal life.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was more of a gantt chart-like view.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solving core collaboration needs across a cross-functional team. A lot of streamlined operations and the ability to duplicate plans for similar tasks/programs.
