Basic Task List
What do you like best about the product?
Asana offers a great place to dump all of your tasks, then create headers to nest them all under.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana could use an aesthetic facelift to feel less heavy. Makes me uninterested in doing some tasks, lol.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy brain dump area for tasks, then we can assign, categorize, and dive deeper with subtasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is a great place to get started with task lists. It's simple to use, a list. Right off the notepad onto the screen!
Great for keeping everything in one place but takes some time to get used to
What do you like best about the product?
Asana helps you keep all your ideas, projects, and tasks in one place. I love being able to switch between board and list views.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you use Asana by yourself, not as part of a team, it takes a lot to get used to having to assign a task to yourself.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Asana for content planning, website updates, and tracking goals.
A Good Project Managament Tool with Very nice UX but lacks in Features
What do you like best about the product?
Me & my team have used Asana 2 years back. That time there were not much options. Jira was very costly for us as our company was a small startup, so we used Asana. It was good to start with, the UX is really amazing and there presence over different ecosystems is also commandable.
What do you dislike about the product?
So even though we have tried Asana, we couldn't scale up our product management with it cause it lacked some of the necessary external integrations. As our team became larger, we needed those integrations to maintain accountability over sections and manage task+code syncs. Also, the pricing has become a bit on the higher side now; in that price range, you can get other software that offers many more features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were doing the product management entirely with Asana, starting with creating epics, tasks, features to assigning them to respective teams, and then tracking those tasks and bugs.
Asana organizes teams
What do you like best about the product?
Asana allows multiple teams to track their work while also sharing it with other teams. It's an easy way for a large group to know what's happening across a company.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some features in Asana are not intuitive. For example, it is too easy o delete a task when trying to click on or update the details portion of the task. Asana could improve usability in those small details, but overall it's a good product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have used Asana to build a company-wide content calendar. We also use it to notify other teams about our current projects and fill them in on the details of our work, including where to find it within our CMS.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be sure you're ready to share work across workgroups.
Useful for some, not for all
What do you like best about the product?
It is helpful to have a central hub for all tasks that people need to work on, primarily if you are used to having tickets open across multiple platforms. And the display is fun and easy to interact with.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some employers I have worked with use Asana in the hope of it streamlining our work, but it just added another source to check. And some jobs, if the work is less quantitive and more qualitative, it is not a helpful way to track performance.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows employers to have a hub for all tasks that a team needs to accomplish, and it will enable people to see progress and what other people are working on. Visibility and accountability!
Great space for work projects
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has a platform that allows multiple users to work on various projects. The structure that has been built is easy to navigate and use to meet goals and continue pushing new agendas.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can sometimes be confusing where some of the locations for assignments can be. Over time, you get used to things, but a more transparent format could assist.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our institution has used this platform to assist in developing a new software system that we are implementing. We can add new assignments to have groups or individuals complete to move to the next task. Asana is has been a great organizer for our system to accomplish getting our new software up and running.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Taking your time to understand the platform and utilize it will be the best to run the program successfully.
Gets the job done
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to submit and manage incoming tickets coming into team.
What do you dislike about the product?
I feel like sometimes it takes more clicks to do something then might be necessarily needed, for instance when updating an attached file. But not a big deal by any means and could be just my view.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Incoming requests to team for support.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go through the tutorials with a project in mind
good app
What do you like best about the product?
what I like about asana is all of the customizations I have available to organize a project I'm working on. if I have to share a project with someone else it will be easy for the other person to understand.
What do you dislike about the product?
what I don't like about asana is that actually took me a little while and learning to actually know how to get everything done. I'm super busy so I normally I like apps that are very easy to use and that don't require a small learning period of time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I started using asana as a way to organize better all my ideas and task for the projects I usually work on. I honestly didn't get any benefits from it because I started spending more time learning and organizing my asana dashboard for the projects than actually working on it.
Project Management Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Asana brings a level of organization to our team that we didn't think would be possible. We are able to have multiple team members collaborate on projects and it helps to coordinate on projects to ensure that we aren't duplicating efforts.
What do you dislike about the product?
Because Asana is such a powerful tool, there is a lot to learn to ensure you are using it properly. It felt as though I almost wasn't sure where to start, but once we created a plan for our team, it was a great tool to learn.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before we had been running into issues with people duplicating efforts on projects and we wouldn't realize it until it was too late and a lot of effort had been put into the project. We are also able to have better discussions on where projects are at with Asana.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
When you decide that Asana is the right tool for your team, make sure you do a walkthrough and set a clear process for how you want to use the system so it is used consistently. You may run into some issues if everyone isn't actively participating.
