Life saver, world changer, best software ever!
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is one of the smoothest, best-built, cleanest, prettiest, most user-intuitive pieces of software I’ve ever used. I spend 4+ hours daily in it and I love it. As a software engineer who moved into Communications/Marketing Project Management, the software has been designed very well and with the user in mind (Human-Computer Interaction is top-notch), and the project management capabilities are endless. So good. Use it. You won’t regret it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not too many things that I can think of!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Overseeing a fast-paced agency managing multiple clients and projects, I can keep an eye on my team, client work, and projects without losing my mind.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For project and team management, this is the way to go.
Project Managers Dream
What do you like best about the product?
This makes my job so much simpler. Having defined categories to place various articles we’re working on streamlines the process. And being able to assign various tasks on the same screen is a dream.
What do you dislike about the product?
I sometimes wish I could play with layout features - but aside from that everything about the program is great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It takes the guess work out of when someone’s completed a project and who is assigned to what. With the project board I have an easy map of everything that has been done.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you’re in need of a system to help you organize, delegate, and implement efficient strategies - this is the one.
Take control of your projects
What do you like best about the product?
Interface is simple and friendly, gmail plugin is awesome, lots of features on free version, a lot more on premium one. I really like the project structure (teams/projects/tasks/subtasks)
What do you dislike about the product?
Notifications could be better (we relay more on slack than email) Monsters are cool, but unicorns are a little too much.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management, we now have all team efforts aligned towards one goal. We are tracking our strategic plan with this tool.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Think your project structure thoroughly, you can get immersed in a sea of projects, teams and tasks.

What do you dislike about the product?
- The best features (like assigning sub tasks a sub task) have to be 'discovered' since they are not the most obvious
- The templates take a while to master
- The templates take a while to master
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Project Management-- Now the whole team can see what everyone is working on all the time.
- Aligning the team on the same calendar of events-- We created a master calendar for our company that everyone has access to. Asana even has a feature that allows us to sync Asana with our calendar which I LOVE!

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look up tips and tricks! We had a PM whose role was to master Asana, but after she left, we all had to take on the task of learning it. There are hidden ways to master the program and it is worth the effort to have the whole team on board.
Complete task and project management solutio
What do you like best about the product?
I love being able to communicate with my team, share tasks, and plan for the future through an online solution.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don’t like that all members have to sign up for Asana in order to see and assign tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Task management
Best tool for tracking workflow and tasks
What do you like best about the product?
Creating and using templates, using dependencies in workflows, all notifications, being able to add/remove people easily from conversations and projevts
What do you dislike about the product?
I do think that copying tasks is a little difficult (there should be an option to make multiple copies at once)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Coordinating multiple clients on a structured template (so everything is the same for every client). Using templates to start projects and when a new client begins.
Participation in projects with asana
What do you like best about the product?
In my personal opinion the tool Asana helped me to carry my projects in the most efficient way, this is the way in which the projects are structured in this application, you are shown every project step or stage as a sub task, which in turn has sub sub tasks, in this way to go doing each of the tasks almost without realizing you will see that you concluded that project that you thought would take too much time and would involve a lot of work, plus my bosses to be placed as followers of the tasks can be reviewing my progress, also I must also highlight the way in which asana is integrated to perfection with tools such as instagant which allows you to see the progress and status of your project in a graphic way
What do you dislike about the product?
When reviewing about tools as efficient, complete and powerful as it is Asana, it is very complicated to get negative aspects or disagreements, since this tool meets the expectations of any project team or any company, or at least that is my perception, Asana allows you to segment the different projects and follow up on all of them in a very simple way, I think that very few tools in the market have all the benefits or qualities that Asana has
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
At corporate level we have used Asana in the past, and it has been very pleasing to us since among other things it has allowed us to: design the projects in a way that is easier to understand for those who will execute the different tasks, since sometimes it is difficult to understand project structures if you are not project manager or something like that, also allows project managers to follow each of the stages or phases of these, and also allows through its integration with instagant see graphically the status current in order to deliver reports or reports to the clients that requested this project
Recommendations to others considering the product:
My recommendation is simple, use asana to manage your projects and you will see how it increases your efficiency to develop these
Adjustment period needed, well worth it
What do you like best about the product?
I love the organizational views and how user-friendly Asana is. It's easy to learn and really gets the job done.
What do you dislike about the product?
It takes time and persistence to really get team members on board. It is an adjustment to a digital to-do list and it's understandable but you really need a lot of buy-in.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have solved our problem of dropping projects. Even if they aren't done first-thing this doesn't let things fall through the cracks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are new to a project management platform I highly recommend it. But be aware that it will take time for teams to adjust and commit to this method.
Easy collaboration in person and remotely
What do you like best about the product?
I love how tasks can be assigned to a specific individual with a due date, and that there are differentiated, dedicated spaces for details and notes in addition to to-do list action items.
What do you dislike about the product?
Limited privacy for users without premium. Also, that tasks disappear when they are completed - sometimes it's nice to keep a backlog.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We frequently have research assistants coming in for regularly scheduled shifts, and instead of disrupting my workflow to ask for the day's tasks, they can manage their own productivity by seeing what's in store for for them for the entire week.
Asana has also become a communal note-taking space, so we use it as a living manual of how to function in our workspace answering questions like logins and password information, lists of who to contact for what, due dates for renewing certain licenses and certifications, etc. It really streamlines the transfer of knowledge between new and old staff members.

Asana is user friendly and collaborative
What do you like best about the product?
I love the collaborative aspect of Asana as a task manager. My team and I can collaborate on projects and see each other's progress. The deadlines and ability to assign tasks to my teammates keeps our projects on schedule and has definitely made our office more productive.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I will loose track of tasks in Asana when I do not put a deadline on the task. This, could be avoided if I used the deadline function on all tasks but sometimes I do not need a deadline on a task.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Asana as a way to keep our projects on track and as a way to brainstorm new projects and keep track of ideas we come up with in our meetings. It gives us a collaborative space to brainstorm and optimize our tasks and projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would consider using Asana if you are interested in collaborating more effectively with your team and prioritizing tasks. The ease of use makes it a great option for all types of teams - and for personal use!
