Asana has helped keep my projects visible to everyone involved and easy to navigate
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to send the project plans to external users to ensure they know what is going on and they can even mark tasks as complete so all parties know where the project stands.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is a little difficult to move between completed tasks and incomplete tasks to make sure you can remember who did what and how it was done. You have to manually switch between them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are tackling our implementation, sales, and engineering project plans with Asana. It allows multiple teams and parties to coordinate efforts to ensure an efficient project is made.
Best Project and Tasks Management Tool
What do you like best about the product?
There are number of project management tools implemented, developed and currently use in different industries. In Software development industry it is almost impossible to deliver a project successfully with respect to in-time, cost and required features without implementing project management tool. Asana help in this regards and provide best features in its Free version for small scale businesses and to professionals as well in Paid version. Project creation, division of tasks, assignment to resources is easy and straight forward. I like the communication on tasks between resources assigned on tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
With all its best features there are some deficiencies like it is quit expensive for small scale businesses if they want to use its enterprise level features. Task allocation and tracking is bit difficult for new users. Need better UI screens.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When I start my professional career some years back and assigned a project to work on. I face difficulties to manage my tasks and time lines set by my team lead. Then I advised to use Asana as project and tasks management tool. I have used its free version which have almost all my required set of features to track and meet the deadlines. It solve my problem of tasks creation, assign to my juniors, track work on tasks, track work load on resources, utilize best productive hours by getting clear assessment of tasks and its deadlines.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is always useful to use some sort of project management tool either for professionals or beginners, most of the tools are complex and difficult to understand at first. Asana on other hand is quite useful and easy to use management tool for professionals and beginners / students. I strongly recommend Asana to my fellows and juniors to make there life easier.
A practical project managing app
What do you like best about the product?
As a team of freelancers working together on many tasks under several big projects, it's indispensable for us to get things done soothly and efficiently as a group. The best things from my point of view are:
• Getting a daily email keeping me up to date with due tasks
• Being able to file all work tasks under a specific project and have several threads and allocate work to others
• Being able to pass task responsibilities back and forward to other members of the team
• The ability to get work signed off easily
• The ability to organise a project calendar
• Having tasks dependant on other tasks so you see what needs to be done first
• Being able to mark my holiday dates on the calendar for other co-workers to see (and work around)
• Getting a daily email keeping me up to date with due tasks
• Being able to file all work tasks under a specific project and have several threads and allocate work to others
• Being able to pass task responsibilities back and forward to other members of the team
• The ability to get work signed off easily
• The ability to organise a project calendar
• Having tasks dependant on other tasks so you see what needs to be done first
• Being able to mark my holiday dates on the calendar for other co-workers to see (and work around)
What do you dislike about the product?
I found it hard to organise a project myself at first. I think Asana has become better over the years. My role is mostly as a user coming in after someone else has set up a schedule of tasks and projects so I haven't used all the software's features. I would say Trello was easier visually for me as a designer, however it didn't have the functionality we needed at the time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The organisation of our events have been simplified, all runs smoothly. Better communication all round.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you regularly work as a team with others on projects, Asana could be a valuable application.
Simple and flexible
What do you like best about the product?
I really like this project management tool. Probably my favorite feature are the subtasks. It allows you to break down the projects without taking over the main screen.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much to be honest but other new tools like monday.com are offering more flexibility which helps when trying to bring in a whole team
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management for a small business. Just being able to manage things easily is a huge productivity boost
Great way to keep yourself organized
What do you like best about the product?
I just recently started using Asana and it provides me with a new way to keep track of tasks. A person is able to create different sets of tasks and share with different people. The tasks can also be shown on a calendar. Asana also has a timeline function, progress function, and allows your to customize the layout.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are not many things that I dislike. However, the first thing that caught my eye when I started using it was the layout of the bar on the left. I think it could be improved and allowed to be more customized. I also thing the Board could be more minimalist. I don't really like the columns and how they are displayed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is helping me to keep track of all work and personal tasks. Multiple boards can be created, so you can differentiate tasks according to their categories.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A different and modern method of approaching tasks.
Interesting way to get everyone working together

Great Free Project Management Tool
What do you like best about the product?
It's good to tag people on projects and create followers on each task and project.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only disadvantage is that you have to upgrade to the premium version to add interdependencies
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have used Robohead and Monday.com in the past. I sometimes find it confusing as compared to the campaigns, projects and tasks which cannot be seen using gantt charts in the free version. The benefit is that it is very easy to use and can be integrated with your inbox.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great tool for project management- easy to use!
Best project-management tool out there
What do you like best about the product?
The to-do list format makes it easy to track everything, plus organizing everything into color-coded projects makes my Type A heart happy.
What do you dislike about the product?
The email reminders are so constant they become white noise or spam, and lose effectiveness.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's easy to assign tasks to my assistant, and keep working towards common deadlines. I'm pretty organized, but not everyone on my team is, so it keeps us all on the same page.
Excellent.
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has great user interface and a delightful workflow. It supports all the features you might need from a project management software. My favourite feature is its Kanban board. It's super easy to set up tasks and assign them to your team. It also integrates well with a bunch of other popular software, further enhancing the experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
You can't switch between Kanban and regular view after you create a project. Also, inbox tab is pretty useless and yet it's still an unchangeable default.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana was used massively in my company. It makes tracking and managing projects actually enjoyable. You can easily see the progress and status of tasks assigned to you and tasks you assigned. It provides many ways to analyze the situation.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's very easy to learn and it's quite powerful. Pick it up and give it a try.
