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!

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 perfect app for keeping teams Organized
What do you like best about the product?
I liked that it was customizable, and allowed a whole team to use it. I liked the color coding, so I could easily know who was who and could see the progress we had made as a team on multiple tasks all in one place instead of trying to search through email chains.
What do you dislike about the product?
It was a bit of a learning curve to get to know how it works, I don't think we utilized it to its full potential or as smoothly as we could have because of this. Can be somewhat complicated at first, but awesome after that, It really does what we need it to do. No complaints!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Good experience. Kept our team organized, helped eliminate some stress while working towards meeting multiple deadlines simultaneously. Asana keeps us all on the same page for communication, which is important because we are all in different locations. Love the ability to quickly create projects, assist tasks and mark them done. Super simple.

Best Project Management Program...EVER.
