Not only a task management tool, it helps increase collaboration, transparency and makes work easier
What do you like best about the product?
Flexibility of the tool. Multiple teams and users can use Asana differently to fit their own work style without requiring any customization.
For example I use list view projects I organize by priority but other team members can use tile-style projects or use my list projects organized by team members.

What do you dislike about the product?
Portfolios (dashboards) cannot be searched within the organization (you need to circulate the link with the relevant stakeholders manually) and the timeline view needs a little bit of manual organization to make the most of the view (each project can be viewed as a task list, calendar or a timeline without requiring additional work)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Clarify who is responsible for what, when things are needed. Highlights gaps in the plan before the team runs into the issue.
Ability to create template workflows and standardize processes across organization and team members.
Make the most current information available for whom needs it.
You need the team to use the tool to get these benefits however.

Couldn't Function Without Asana
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is the perfect mix of personal/team task management and new features are being added that make it an even more helpful tool. Our team uses it to manage more than 175 events across the world!
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the "My Tasks" section could be improved. It works fine, but sometimes I find myself struggling with the default view of that section and there's very limited customization available. As a workaround, I typically create a "dashboard" project and add tasks to that project.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana allows us to get out of the email inbox and get work done. The collaboration tools are fantastic (and are constantly improving). I spend most of my day with outlook closed and Asana open, so real work can get done.
Develop and organize your tasks faster
What do you like best about the product?
With Asana I can make the development process of my projects faster, since it offers me excellent tools with which I can assign tasks to my work team, I have the possibility of creating boards in which I can add my activity lists and documents.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not really like its interface, I think it lacks more customization options and more colors, I also think that Asana plans are a bit expensive and it depends a lot on the number of members that make up my team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana, helps me to be more attentive to recent activities and those that are about to expire, also makes my team more productive when developing projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is an excellent tool with which you can keep your work organized in your office, it has a free version with which you can start working, in terms of its Premium version, keep in mind that the larger your work equipment, the more expensive.
A project management tool that goes beyond project management
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use, smart user interface, portfolios and custom fields, templates, timeline, status updates, milestones. Ability to link tasks between projects allows to create master projects for executive view and link detailed projects into the master projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was an easy way to manage custom fields and users in a large team or division.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Asana business edition for everything, starting from meetings, to brainstorming sessions, to projects of any size and even goal setting.
Recommendations to others considering the product:

It takes a while to get used to the system. Not user friendly until you’ve worked in it for a while.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Asana has incredibly improved the way we work in the company
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to tell at a glance who's doing what for when.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to see a restyling in the tasks list, it's too plain, and if the list is long it's a bit difficult to get clear conclussions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When I first entered int he company, March 2018 tasks weren't being organised, everyone knew what to do but you couldn't find it nowhere. So my challenge in the company was creating a Asana driven working culture. One year later we have noticed a great improvement in the company's effectiveness. We use Asana for EVERYTHING, and there are many freaks (myself included) whoa re looking for new functions we could use.
Great task management tool
What do you like best about the product?
Asana makes managing personal and team projects a breeze. Being able to manage company wide projects and track progress helps keep everyone accountable.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some great features are only available with premium subscription.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Greatest problem solved is keeping initiatives in one place and viewable company wide.
Project and resources management made easy
What do you like best about the product?
Asana best feature, in my opinion, is its transparency.
Allowing all teams to see what each people is working on, without having to ask or interrupt their work, is done wonders for our company. Also, its reports and search tools are advanced enough to allow us to measure efficiency, manage people priorities, and see projects progress.
It is so easy to use that we have 90%+ of our employees use it on a daily basis. It allows for cross-team collaboration. Manage incoming requests, invite clients to see the progress on their projects, or just track maintenance and repairs requests.
There is simply no wrong way of using it, as the tool adapts to each team's workflow.

What do you dislike about the product?
not a proper dislike, but I'd just wish the paid tiers were a bit more affordable. As a 100+ premium user company, we would get so much advantages of the newer features that are gated behind the Business tier, which is 10 USD more per user. we just cant afford it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All kinds of problems. Meeting agendas, prioritize people work, track construction projects. Payments tracking, processes, and pipelines design and control, and a lot more! Every single department in our company is using it and it has allowed us to collaborate effortlessly.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking into a tool for making your teams collaborate, manage priorities, to-do lists, and make sure all activities on your company have a person in charge; then this tool is for you.
Pretty great place for office tasks.
What do you like best about the product?
I love the board option, being able to see things displayed like that is amazing for visual learners. Love that you can customize your charts and tables and also save them as templates to use in the future for other projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do wish we had more options for 'subtasks' being able to customize those a little more would be awesome.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our office is able to see tasks and projects that have been in progress and completed very efficiently. We are able to problem solve within Asana using the comment section without having to use another source of communication, so we never lose those conversations they are always within the task/project.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you watch the tutorial videos they are short and easy to follow.
Maximizing Productivity with Asana
What do you like best about the product?
Your entires team's task tracking is all centralized.
What do you dislike about the product?
The free version, while powerful, leaves much to be desired.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A common problem we have had is people dragging their feet with certain tasks. Creating dependencies has opened their eyes people to see how many other people cannot move along with their assignments until these prerequisites are completed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
First, identify what specific features you are looking for to make sure Asana is the right fit.
