Multitasker’s dream
What do you like best about the product?
It is “clean,” that is, it’s easy to look at and follow along with. It makes multitasking easy and ensures all of my day’s work is completed in a timely fashion.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it is difficult to categorize tasks. When completely a task for the day it doesn’t pop back up under the specified project.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has helped me to stay more organized and on track with the multitude of projects and daily tasks I have to complete.
Task and Project Management Gold
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a great tool to manage tasks and projects on a daily, weekly, monthly and even yearly level. Easily invite coworkers to a team, build projects under that team, assign out tasks, add due dates, and even sync with your Google calendar. Additionally, they send you reminders when tasks are due with a daily/weekly digest. You can attach files/URLs to tasks, making it easy to keep track of things.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside of Asana that I have encountered is annual repeating of specific tasks that don't fall on the EXACT same day each year, but around a similar time. I have yet to figure out how to easily achieve that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're solving the problem of divvying up a former co-workers work, so we can all see what there is to do and then assigning out tasks as they fit into our regular cycle of work so that it is all finished but no one person gets overwhelmed. Additionally, we all work on our Annual Conference planning, and so tracking all the tasks/timelines to have a successful conference in Asana makes all of our jobs easier because we can see when tasks are completed or if someone needs something to complete a task, they can message through Asana.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're looking to organize yourself or a team of people to keep track of projects and make sure nothing slips through the cracks, I highly recommend Asana. It takes some effort to set up, but as you use it, it becomes second nature to add tasks/projects in there so you can easily track productivity and completion.
Using Asana for personnal projects
What do you like best about the product?
It is simple to use and customizable. I can organize the works easily in differents projects. I usually create one project for a backlog, and one or more for the sprints. The new members understand very quickly the product, and are participate actively thanks to the notifications.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't prioritize or add estimates to tasks, and I can't connect the tasks to a repository (source code).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Asana to create web and mobile applications. With Asana I can easily write down the tasks and select the importants one. I can follow the progress of a task thanks to the comments. I use it everyday to validate and update the tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Split the project into severals sub-project in Asana. Don't hesitate to be creative and to adapt the product to fit your needs.
A useful project/task management tool

Asana has a user friendly interface that allows for simple integration into any project/workflow pipeline.
What do you dislike about the product?
Like a few other similar programs, initially it can be overwhelming with setup, deciding how it best fits your needs and applying it to your pipeline.

Definitely I find myself more task driven and eager to fully outline my task so that I can see them all in one place.
Recommendations to others considering the product:

An amazing tool for project management
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is easily the best tool I've ever used for project management and staying on top of tasks. It can be as in-depth and complex or as simple and easy as you want it to be. The wide range of project templates give you a lot of flexibility for managing your work the way you need to, and the various views and plenty of customizable options let you track things however you'd like. Overall, it's a great tool for working with teams or even keeping track of your own tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana can be a little overwhelming when you first start using it. Before I used Asana, I used another project management took that overall looked more user friendly and was easier to get started. It's possible that I missed training videos or manuals for Asana, but streamlining the getting started process and possible sending tips or training videos via email would strengthen the user experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Asana as part of a small (5 people) marketing team. Before we started using Asana, we kept track of everything in our heads. Tasks constantly fell through the cracks and we constantly felt behind. Through Asana, our team has been able to consistently track and manage projects in an easy way that helps all of us stay on top of things!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's worth it! Even if it seems a little daunting to get started, go for it. It's well worth your time, and will save you countless hours down the road.
Aeana board is very convenient to use
What do you like best about the product?
It is very easy to use and it has many features. Board is the main thing we can perfectly manage our projects there.
What do you dislike about the product?
Limited features in free edition. It may have some advance features in free version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy to maintain several projects
The best for managing workflow and times
What do you like best about the product?
The possibility to manage your own workload and others. It gives visibility of "The big picture" to you and your superiors. Things that are not clear for them such as amount of work, times and priorities. The communication improved a lot since we started usin asana. For me, the real value lays in being able to organize my everyday tasks and tag them in different projects. The calendar visibility is one of it's best tools, you can drag and drop as needed any task you are working on, making it easy to change the date of a task. We tried with many different softwares before: Basecamp, Trello, etc; but none of them were as full and satisfying. Features like time tracking, customizable permissions, risk management, team collaboration and much more.
What do you dislike about the product?
You are not able to assign tasks and tag them in other boards without appearing on them. This was the most problematic tool to me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Times and workload are much more visible. Good organization.Conectivity with other applications and softwares.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Free trial is a good way to know if Asana is for you. Use it during a week and you'll see the value of it.
Great product.
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to use, really accessible for remote workers and the perfect project management tool.You can assign/delegate tasks and keep the ball rolling.
What do you dislike about the product?
My least favorite feature is that when a task is completed it disappears from everyone's view and you have to search for it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Overall I think this is a great platform to use to track team progress.
