Best PMS we've used!
What do you like best about the product?
I like all the integrations that are available and the mobile app version. These were two very important factors for our business when determining which PMS to use. The visual appeal of Asana and ease of use were just a bonus.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that templates are only available with paid accounts and that it was complicated to set-up our company privately. I also really dislike the amount of hoops you need to go through in order to contact customer service. There is no way to reach an agent by phone and many of the chat reps are limited in how they can help.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving our bandwidth issue and advanced scheduling of communications by using Asana. Having all of our daily work accounted for in one system has been immensely helpful to refer to during meetings with upper management as well as for annual reporting at year end.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Compare it to the other leading PMS and decide if Asana meets your musts list. To us, it was the one that hit all the checkmarks whereas the others all missed one or two areas.
Best platform to organize your to-dos!
What do you like best about the product?
Asana made project management and tasks easy to keep track of. I'm big on using board views to get clear timelines on projects we need to have done and it's awesome to track the steps the project/task has gone through before handing it off.
What do you dislike about the product?
My only complaint will have to be that Asana doesn't have their own time tracking. We use time tracking to make hours billable to our clients. We currently use Harvest which integrates well with Asana, but a native time tracking tool would make Asana a more complete tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before Asana, we had trouble keeping track of progress on tasks especially ones that required feedback from various team members. With Asana, we are able to keep everything structured and makes comments tied to tasks so we don't have any missing pieces.
Project Management Made Easy
What do you like best about the product?
I love all the integrations, it makes me feel like I can have a suite of tools in a central hub. It's easy to learn and navigate.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was a calendar feature in the Portfolios section, so you can see what tasks are do when for a selected amount of projects
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organizational issues. Enabling process, and providing reference to all documentation for each project.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give yourself some time and explore. Once you start using projects with Asana , you'll learn how to organize things better
Asana Makes Everything Better!
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite aspect of Asana is that I can be away from work but still be 100% up to speed on all projects!
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some tasks that require some manual workarounds, but nothing that is too taxing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps me:
1. Understand what everyone is working on
2. Keep up to date on tasks
3. Keep everyone on the same page

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Start slow! Don't put everything in there at once. Find a system that works for you that you can scale with your team.
Game changer!
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has changed my entire business operation. With Asana I can be more collaborative and organized with my entire team in a way that allows us to stay highly organized and on schedule.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is virtually nothing that I dislike about Asana. Maybe the Asana team could add the ability to put a time on due dates but I usually just note that in the item description.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My teams communication and collaboration are so much more effective with Asana. We are killing project deadlines like never before! The biggest benefit is that Asana provides a project overview that was previously unclear using only GSuite.

Try it and you’ll love it!
Best project management solution for large teams
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has a beautiful UI that is very accessible and easy to learn. It is one of the most intuitive, full-featured project management apps out there. For my company I personally reviewed specs for dozens of leading, top-rated project management solutions. In the end there were only 2 or 3 that I could seriously consider, and of those Asana was the clear winner.
It supports sub-tasks, repeating tasks, start dates for tasks, attachments, discussions (with full text formatting), teams (groups with shared projects), interactive Gantt-style charts, calendar overviews, reusable and custom templates, a great mobile app, turning forwarded emails into tasks automatically, and much more. One of the important features for me was private projects in a team setup, and Asana includes that. It works with Google Drive, Dropbox, and other services. There are many custom integrations available.
It also has an impressive development roadmap. I am super excited about where this app is going, and I think the company behind really understands what project management is all about.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the more advanced features may require a subscription that is outside the budget of some small companies. However, it is free to try, and the basic features can be used indefinitely at no cost.
At the Premium level (below Business and Enterprise plans), the Gantt charts, which are the primary way to visual resource management at this plan level, are project-specific, rather than companywide.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work for a mid-sized company with about 50 employees. We reached a point where managing projects collectively became a necessity. The old methods of endless email discussions and hand-written marker board notes was not cutting it anymore. Asana allowed us to connect discussions to the projects and tasks they belonged to, which is important when you have projects that span employee turnovers, and makes it easy for everyone to stay in the loop about the current status of every project. It also allowed us to track and prioritize projects, so the most important ones could move forward, and not merely the ones with the most vocal email discussions. The support for private projects and group (team) permissions was important too, because there are projects and tasks that include confidential or sensitive information that are unsuitable for being public to everyone in the company. We have many recurring projects, so support for templates and recurring tasks have eliminated a lot of tedious manual tracking.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Have a look at Asana's website, where you can find great videos and documentation that show how Asana can work for you.
I. Love. Asana.
What do you like best about the product?
Asana keeps my team organized and moving forward on projects. We have literally hundreds of projects going at any given time across different areas of our team, we would be absolutely lost without some sort of project management software, and Asana is second to none. I live out of the calendar view to plan out and organize my tasks. I love that one task can be organized into multiple projects to keep things organized and streamline across multiple teams. I love the unicorns that fly across my screen when I check off a task. I can't say enough great things about Asana!
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana can do SO MUCH, it can sometimes be hard to explain to new users who aren't already familiar with the software. It appears a lot more complicated than it is. I only recently discovered Asana Academy -- I wish those training resources were more available right from the start. Now, when new employees start, I tell them to watch some of the videos in Asana Academy to get the basics before we dive in.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has streamlined our project workflow. We use it as our absolute source of truth for any project. All comments, documents, and updates having to do with that project are found in Asana -- which gives everyone on the team line of sight to every project with just a quick search.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is powerful and extremely customizable. It can do anything you want it to do, just give it time and give yourself time to get the hang of it. If you love Trello but wish Trello could do more, Asana is for you!
Efficient Project Tracking!
What do you like best about the product?
Task tracking is so flexible and the tool is really easy for team members to adopt.
What do you dislike about the product?
Support from the Asana team hasn't been great. The laundry list of projects gets messy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're organizing our tasks and have a better understanding of what our team is working on. Projects are easily tracked and
The best task management tool in the market
What do you like best about the product?
Asana's flexibility in handling a multitude of task and project management tasks make it a very useful tool; it does not force you to a specific framework or methodology but it allows enough customization that any of these frameworks can be easily implemented.
What do you dislike about the product?
I understand the simpleness of the system is one of its major strengths, but there are simple features that have not yet made it into the product... mobile scheduled alerts for an example... if one intends to use a centralized system for tasks, projects and reference material, it makes sense that alerts and alarms are here as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
we are automating a good number of business processes in asana from simple and routing recurring meeting agendas to multi-office security programs implementation (CTPAT) including the typical business software implementation project.

The tracking of deadlines in projects really impress me, the project updates are also presented on time.
