Tricky to Learn but an Incredible Tool Once Mastered
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a great project management system. It is a helpful tool for working with a large team. Several different people can work on the same project seamlessly. It also is a great way to stay organized with several different documents or parts of a project. I even use Asana for my own tasks because I can set recurring reminders, and I enjoy the satisfaction of being able to check off a task once it is completed. I also enjoy all of the personalizations you are able to do to make it more fun, like changing the background and turning on "occasional celebrations" for a fun surprise when I complete a task.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana is a platform with many different functions and uses. It can take a while to get the hang of Asana, and I feel like I am still learning it. Several people on our team who don't use it as often get frustrated because it does take a lot of knowledge and know-how to navigate. I also find it difficult to locate previous projects on there often, especially if I wasn't a part of it and am trying to find it after it has been completed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to divide and track progress easily and in one place. We are also able to work with other departments, including giving and receiving feedback, without hosting meetings. This cuts down on the time it takes to actually complete a project and frees up our time with fewer meetings. We can also set deadlines and timelines.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is a great tool, but be prepared to equip your team with resources and training to be able to use it effectively.
Flexible and Quick - Modern Design
What do you like best about the product?
This software is flexible and quick! The free version includes several features and the new timeline makes it easy to manage dependent tasks. This tool helps me stop tasks from falling through the cracks... makes a project (or even a business) much easier to manage. When you work in a team setting this program allows you to color-code each person and task so it is easy to look at and not super confusing. It makes it easier to make sure someone never misses a deadline or assignment. I am able ot create templates for different tasks and parts of my workflow.
What do you dislike about the product?
You are unable to switch between Task and Kanban project views once they are created... just a minor item but something you should know about if you use the software. The downside is having yet another software to manage... but as Asana grows and links to other softwares it will become more of a powerhouse in this project management system world.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is an incredible collaboration tool. It assists teams in managing several different tasks. It is a bit difficult to learn but take the time and get to know the software before giving up. It is very flexible and can be used for so many things!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is difficult to learn... but spend the time, complete the available trainings, utilize the support staff at Asana. This product is worth the effort that it takes to get started.

Great for managing teams and projects
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has multiple options for organizing different types of projects and even company documents. I love that you can assign and view tasks in a calendar mode versus a list dependent upon preference. Assigning due dates with reminders is a great way to hold our team accountable for tasks. I also love that it's updated in real time so changes are instant.
