Is this the right SaaS for my team?
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about asana is the simplicity of it all. Easy to navigate, solid notification options, and great for collaboration. Marking changes or providing updates, happen pretty instantly. This is key to keeping the team all on the same page and helpful when working remote and others are following along within asana. Took most of my team a couple of training sessions to become very comfortable in asana.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a few areas where asana can improve. 1) Better migration options from other software. Telling someone about asana and then having to add disclaimers depending on where they are coming from isn't ideal. 2) Another is the limited customization options. More are being done with improvements, but as an example: using different types of number formats would be helpful. 3) the in between notifications. Currently feels like all or nothing users are okay with notifications, but the middle is unsure. They either end up getting too little or too much notifications.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration, updating, and efficiency. These are a few of the problems asana has helped solve/improve.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is a great tool and can be exactly what you are looking for. I good place to visit to find out if out if you will need to make workarounds is within their API documentation. Importing certain types of files links are not easily supported within asana. May need to create a more thorough transition plan in advance.
Asana has taught me how to prioritize and handle all of my tasks.
What do you like best about the product?
Asana makes everything visual and very collaborative. It is easy to work as a team, and to work across projects. It is a company-wide tool, any department can find it beneficial. It is very user friendly, with lots of training to go with it!
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a lot of features and things happening. You really benefit from reviewing the training courses and making sure you fully understand what a feature is for to fully excel within Asana.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are a small startup company, and we are in the midst of rolling out a support tool. At the moment, we are using Asana as a tool to track and log our support tickets.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go through the training guides! They have so much information and are hands on.
Great tool for task and project management
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use. Steep learning curve. User-friendly interface. Great features that help to manage separate tasks and projects: timeline, customer fields, search, etc. Integration with Outlook and SharePoint.
What do you dislike about the product?
The list of tasks can get messy if you don't clean it. But it's less about Asana and more about employees training.
Subtasks are hard to manage, sometimes they get lost, as you can't see them in the list until you click into the task.

Asana literally changed the way I live my life (for the better)
What do you like best about the product?
Robust task management with amazing features... recurring tasks, start/end dates, Kanban view, integrations to turn transactional processes into tasks, 'blocked by' functionality, custom fields... almost everything you could need from something that acts as the front-end for your entire career.
What do you dislike about the product?
Features in the free and entry-level paid tiers are being migrated to the super expensive tier, so one day you might wake up and find that something you rely on is no longer available unless you fork over more money (I miss you, Dashboard view). Some features that seem obvious (like tasks that exist in multiple projects, or tasks being assigned to multiple people) are absent and aren't on the roadmap.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I think I found Asana by googling "free task manager" in mid-2012. I signed up for a bunch of different services, but Asana had the best search, so that was the one I stuck with. I added my work projects, invited my coworkers, and it was great. Then I realized that I could create a workspace for home improvement projects and share it with my spouse. Then I started turning everything into tasks... student loan payments, ideas for novels, toy wishlists for the kids, weekly chores... like, *everything* can go into Asana, and if I give it a due date then I don't have to keep track of it in my head. It felt like I went from struggling to stay afloat in open waters with cement blocks tied to my ankles to sitting in one of those inflatable chair things that rich people on TV use in their pools.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take advantage of the free tier. You can do a ton of stuff without having to pay anything, or even have a credit card on file. My team used the free tier for four or five years until with decided the timeline view was worth upgrading for.
Project control with Asana
What do you like best about the product?
The team integration and automation of the communicacions between team members.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Inbox. I receive email notificacions and notifications from th mobile app, but I have never used the Inbox. It just sits there with an orange dot.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Planning and following up with my projects. We have very detailed projects that require several tasks and subtasks and with Asana, this is very simple.

Lifeline of Business
What do you like best about the product?
Complex workflows can be visualized and conversations can be had inline at every step.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the email notification preferences could use some finessing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting out of spreadsheets. The data is much easier to chop up and view in different ways than with a spreadsheet.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try the free version and use it for your own personal tasks: picking up laundry, grocery lists, appointments, etc.
User-Friendly tool for Project Management
What do you like best about the product?
I have been using Asana for 1 year and it is very comfortable application for managing tasks. Asana is very easy and intuitive, so that newcomers and people who use Asana first time, don't have any trouble to learn it. Its design is very well structured. With Asana you can monitor every process effectively.
It's also very cheap and I think, that one of the main assets Assana has, is that Its integrations allow data sharing with many services.
When using such softs it's very important to have a strong security and information must be well secured.

What do you dislike about the product?
I think that Asana is the best PM program I have used before.
So that, I really can not say what I don't like about Asana, but for me, it would be good if customer service and help center Asana is faster. Also mobile application of Asana is not good and I really don't like it.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using Asana to organise tasks, analyse how they are structured. Also Asana gives me an opportunity to see statistics of project, which process is bottle-neck for this project and which are most efficient and so on.
Also, when making project plan, it is much likely that you forgot something important with which can optimize process and boost overall eficciency. So that, it's important that Asana gives you some suggestions and recommendations which are very helpful.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I strongly recommend to use Asana, because it is a tool which helps you to make project management fun. Asana has a lot of features and opportunities and helps you to arrange, control and manage your project much more efficiently.
Also it makes easier to communicate with your team members.
Besides that it is very easy to use and has a user-friendly interface. Its security and privacy are more than acceptable and there are plenty of support options.

Manage and develop your projects from a platform with a unique and very flexible design
What do you like best about the product?
It is a platform with great integrations to other recognized applications, this means that you can manage most of the processes of your projects from the same space, in your initial platform you have graphs and statistics that will provide important information for your management.
What do you dislike about the product?
The system of alerts and notifications should be a bit more intuitive also, not only notify through mail or on the same platform, it would be great to show a pop-up window or an alarm on the programmable cell
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is nice to use a tool with which you can complement your project management, it is excellent to carry out communication campaigns and make the respective follow-up, it induces you to have a clear planning with real times that allow you to develop the initially proposed goals in the established times.

I can hardly find something i do not like about asana. Maybe the board could be adjustable and had design tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
