Easy to use and flexible
What do you like best about the product?
That I can create my own format for organization - using the boards and column headings, also separating projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
The lack of storage of progress over time, tied to a calendar so you can look back at what was done. Also having items that are just to do rather than the actual project which has a deadline.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping up with tasks. I need to see everything at once in a simple way.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Test it out and make sure it fits your needs, but it is very useful.

It can be difficult to get used to after using Trello or other CMSs.

Ease of communication with teammates over shared projects and assignments.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure all entries are very detailed to avoid confusion when it comes to projects and assignments within your team.
Powerful tool, extremely capable, somewhat of a learning curve
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is great for managing complex projects with many interconnected parts. I really like how each task and sub task can be assigned to a particular person (and subtasks can be assigned to different people than the larger overall task) and this data is then funneled to each individuals list of tasks to accomplish.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only difficulty I've experienced is that folks who are older and slightly less technologically adventurous are intimidated by the user interface. There are a lot of features (which to be clear is very beneficial) but that can make some folks nervous about learning how all of the features work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is solving the problem of complex project management. It helps me as an individual understand and track my tasks and helps the team understand where projects are at and who's responsible for what.
Easy to use but sometimes too basic
What do you like best about the product?
I like the feeling of checking something off of my list which is what asana has. I like the ability to add tasks and share files easily without having to use Dropbox. I was super excited to see the new hire checklist option was added in. It's been super helpful for me since I don't have to go look for each of the documents.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish asana had a better calendar set up that looked more like a timeline I could use for my team to understand how long we had on specific projects rather then just an end date.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Nothing too big problem wise. I like being able to nudge my team in the right direction without seeming to micromanage
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make a timeline calendar set up
Great for project management!
What do you like best about the product?
I am able to see all of my upcoming projects and tasks and can work collaboratively with my team to execute them. Keeps all of my tasks in order and in a nice, organized view.
What do you dislike about the product?
The calendar view can be a bit cluttered, wish there were some more customizable options.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Never lose track of a project and can communicate with team members on separate projects in an organized way on one platform.
Task management made easy
What do you like best about the product?
I work on a medium-sized office with several departments under it, and it's critical that we work in tandem with one another. Asana performs admirably in keeping our teams running in sync and allowing us to work on large projects seamlessly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Most of what we dislike stems from our task managers' internal practices with the platform; finding a balance between obsessively checking off minor tasks in a large project becomes tedious - Asana users need to find a balance when creating tasks. Too granular, and you'll start to hate the platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is great for organizing tasks in a clean, cohesive manner. We are logged into it daily and it helps our team stay focused and productive.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Find a way to add clarity to your tasks by organizing them into different views. We use Calendar view for some larger projects and Timeline for projects that are divided into separate parts.
Excellent for event mgmt
What do you like best about the product?
I love that I can create different timelines based on how far from events we are.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much. Everything I’ve wanted to do I’ve been able to do.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was using notebooks and word docs to keep track of event timelines. This solves that entire headache.
Easy organization of projects; helpful task management
What do you like best about the product?
The best part about Asana is how each big project can be broken down into small tasks, each with its own deadline and assigned to team members
What do you dislike about the product?
The Asana interface can get overwhelming, especially on the app but it just takes a little getting used to, so this is not really a con
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has helped me organize my workload and meet deadlines, both personal and work related.
Project Management with Great Features
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to collaborate with so many people at one time on a project.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the tile view on Asana and how some projects can get confusing if someone doesn't understand the software and how you are supposed to track a project and subsequent to-do items.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mostly, our problems come into play when considering those who don't understand how the software is supposed to work, and won't put in the time necessary to make sure they are using Asana correctly.
