Asana has made me more productive by a LANDSLIDE
What do you like best about the product?
When we first started using Asana, I thought oh sure another product that will "help me" but WOW this actually helps me stay on top of my assignments across our 4 sister companies, running and planning promotions, managing issues, fixes and so much more. I often open my Asana inbox (my favorite feature) before my email inbox, as it gives me a better idea of what is going on in the company.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that there was an option to just upgrade single users instead of the whole team. The majority of our users are very task based and the Premium Level is perfect for them, but the management team could benefit from the Business Level offerings, but the cost at our size right now is not justified.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it for so many differnt things including:
- Forms the team can fill out for issues to be handled in the weekly meetings
- Forms the team uses to recognize other members of the team for exceeding core values
- Calendar view in projects to plan the quarter/year ahead for marketing
- Reoccurring tasks for checking in on projects, and keeping training on track across all departments.
- Reporting of tasks - completed, past due, number of recognitions and what they are for (from the forms mentioned above) and more is reviewed from a report in our weekly meetings.
Honestly I could go on and on, but those are the top 5

I finally feel organized
What do you like best about the product?
Clean user interface, very easy to pick up and learn. Works great for project managers and deliverable-creators alike. I integrate Clockwork and Everhour. A million times better than Basecamp.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not super conducive with kanban. The need to task things out to individuals still puts you into a waterfall-like structure. Would also like to have subtasks automatically assigned to boards.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Forecasting. So great to get a clear picture of each person's capacity every day. I definitely feel more productive and can confirm items on my to-do list.
Super easy and simple to navigate

Recommendations to others considering the product:
take the time to learn the features
Amazing work management tool for collaboration!
What do you like best about the product?
Various interfaces to choose from based on different scenarios. The tasks and subtasks features can also help me to list down all my requirements to complete the campaign.
What do you dislike about the product?
Maybe can have more automation functions so that we can set up more rules and save more time at work. But all good for now!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Work more closely with my team during remote office. I can easily track the current progress for every tasks and campaigns, and let everyone understand their responsibility in the project.
Perfect for my ADHD, multiple locations, and chaos!
What do you like best about the product?
I absolutely love this product. I am a nonprofit executive and literally could not function without it. I love the organization, integration with products like Canva and Slack, and the customization each user can do.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly nothing. It's pricy, but worth it because it makes my staff more efficient.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am diagnosed with ADHD and have troubles focusing and organizing projects. Additionally, we have a team spread across multiple locations (and adding another soon). Asana helps keep everything on track, and everyone looped in.
Asana is the best for project workflows
What do you like best about the product?
I feel like compared to other team workflow applications, Asana was the most complete and had all of the features that I needed to work from beginning to end on a project with my team. It seems to integrate best with G-Suite and can work interchangeably with the application. The best feature for my remote team was the ability to assign tasks to members of the program without having to email them separately. It also allows everyone working on a team to get updates on projects, rather than needing to hold a meeting and discuss updates.
What do you dislike about the product?
It was a little bit difficult for some of my team members to get the hang of the program because it is so detailed. But that is more of a testament to their program skills than the program. I would like it if it had a feature that may be emailed you upcoming due dates that week or something to that effect.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has helped my remote team work on projects together in teams, and we're able to see the progress of the project tasks without having to check in with one another. The best benefit in my opinion is not having to have extra meetings to update one another on project progress, because we can all see what tasks are completed or outstanding in Asana. The best benefit is that it emails all due dates to the user every morning, so you don't have to go into the program to check and see what is due.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
My group projects run during the federal fiscal year, and if you are looking for a program that will help plan out projects that need to be completed within a certain time frame, this is the one that does that. Not only does it to the calendar, but the calendar populates based on the tasks that you have assigned.
Asana is great and easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
It is simple to get started with what I want to use it for. Virtually zero learning curve and I can go deeper in to the areas that I need to only when I want to.
What do you dislike about the product?
No dislikes, I'm very pleased with the product and will continue to use it to manage my workflows.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm using it to manage my workload where I have several concurrent projects that I need to track. It's a good way for me to manage priorities across projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a fantastic product with a smart team behind it.
Awesome project management for any size project
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of setting up new projects is top notch. It's dead simple to make templates for repeatable project types. The ability to connect to slack makes creating projects from templates painless and so fast.
What do you dislike about the product?
I've used Asana for years and a lot of the features that are locked behind a paywall used to be free. I wish there was a little more flexibility with adding one off team members or contractors.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I mainly use Asana for tackling smaller projects that require touch points for 200+ clients. Having a quick checklist created that lists all the clients allows several team members to jump in and start on the project.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a great project management suite for any size project and any size business. It simplifies some of the more complex tasks often found in project management applications.
Easy to use project organizing software!
What do you like best about the product?
Asana helps keep my team organized so we can see exactly how our projects are progressing. I love that it sends notifications to my email, as well as alerting me on the Asana app. I love that you can upload documents right to the task, so people can easily make edits.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I dislike about Asana is that it might be too feature-rich. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but there are just quite a few features that my team doesn't use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps keep my team on track with all of our projects. It solves many of our organizational problems. I've also realized it functions as our team calendar, as we can see who has meetings with which partners and when.
Handy reference for the whole company!
What do you like best about the product?
organization of task and references material
What do you dislike about the product?
No real dislikes at this time, the program is very well put together.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Great space to organize and assign our individual task to employees as well as a great space to store reference material for review when ever needed
