Complex but Useful
What do you like best about the product?
I liked being able to set deadlines for myself and get reminders. It was also really easy to reassign a task to the next person who needed to work on it, or tag someone with a question.
What do you dislike about the product?
It had a pretty steep learning curve, and after three years I was still figuring out all the features it has to offer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had a lot of really complex, cross-departmental projects going all the time, and we weren't all in the same location; Asana made it easy to pass tasks from person to person and keep track of what your responsibilities were.
Effective and easy project management
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to create projects and tasks. Very user friendly. Team collaboration and file sharing is one of the best features.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have a free version. I feel that most of my negative feedback would be solved by paid plan. Perhaps too many email notifications is a major dislike. I wish the notification settings had a more robust filtering option. Also, it would be great if the card view projects could be automatically organized by date, like Trello.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Improve project management, task delegation and collaboration. We find it beneficial to have the project data available at one spot and the ability to attached files to tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great for small teams. Asana offers a free version which perfect to get you going. Our team has been using free Asana for a number of years now.
Organize and direct projects in a very easy way
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a very complete platform to follow tasks and projects as a team, its interface has a great design and it is also very interactive, it allows me to add tasks, discussions and upload all kinds of files. It also has a native mobile application for Android and IOS very useful to take it anywhere.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is almost impossible to prioritize the tasks, in addition the complements or integrations of third parties are somewhat expensive for a small team, I could say that the free version is very limited, so it is not recommended for large projects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can keep up with the other departments of my work since each team member can upload their updates, it is also very useful to keep the team organized and finish tasks on time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Excellent tool for large teams of people.
Great for small teams!
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to add and assign subtasks and view your calendar of task due dates
What do you dislike about the product?
Setting up different teams and adding predecessors is a bit difficult
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it for task management and delegation.
It help you realize what to do each day, let people know what they need to do for completion of greater tasks, and and delegate tasks to other team members

Recommendations to others considering the product:
It works well for small teams, however if your team is large, a lot of work needs to be put in to make it streamlines and organized.
It can be confusing if managers are trying to find their employees tasks in a group, and there are a lot of ways to organize that which can sometimes be a hinderance.

Asana: getting sh*t done
What do you like best about the product?
Team members are held accountable, deadlines and responsibilities are clear
What do you dislike about the product?
Hard to log into sometimes- from the Asana home page it can be hard to find the login page
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When using Asana for tasks and teams, the expectations are very clear and a deadline is clear. It hold each team member accountable because it’s all in writing.
Great project management tool for collaborative teams
What do you like best about the product?
I particularly like how flexible the tool is to be adapted to each team's workflows. The ability to add custom fields makes it very flexible. The ability to add the same task to different projects make sit possible for teams to organize their projects the way they want without having to duplicate tasks, thus making it possible to have a full understanding of the work planned and being done across all teams. The integration with the Google docs suite of products is also a great advantage.
What do you dislike about the product?
Flexibility comes at a cost, since users might start using different flavours for the workflows. It's important to make sure the workflows are well defined, communicated and then enforced, to make sure things don't get chaotic.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing a large number of projects with multi-functional teams who have members scattered across the world.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you try to bite more that you can chew you might not get the value you expect.
Start simple and get your feet wet in the tool. As you evolve and you learn to use the product, look at more advanced features and start adding more functionality to your processes.

Terrific for project management on a remote team
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has linked up beautifully with the Suite at our organization, making it easy to assign tasks, create a list of deliverables in different areas of the organization, and corral notes about various projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana is still somewhat new, so there are a few kinks, particularly for assigning tasks to multiple people, but the pros far outweigh the cons.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has been a godsend for assigning tasks and gathering information in one place. Our team works remotely, so it's easy for things to get lost in the shuffle. Asana aggregates our process much better than a bunch of emails could!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Think through the areas where you'd like to use Asana—is it for your fundraising team, project management more holistically, marketing, or all of the above? It can do all of these things, but requires full staff buy-in to be properly effective.
Asana works great for my group
What do you like best about the product?
Tasks and deadlines can be assigned to people in my work group and we can each track when tasks have been completed. This eliminates the need to "check in" on coworkers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Receiving email notifications when tasks are assigned... although I discovered that these can be managed to once a day or weekly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It works well for our task management needs. We have remote employees as well as office staff and using Asana allows us all to be on the same page regarding who is doing what on a project.
By the far the best task management software
What do you like best about the product?
I tried out all of the different task management softwares for small teams, and Asana is by far the easiest to use and has the best user interface. Asana makes it simple to create projects and sub-projects and track the progress for each.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only major complaint about Asana is they do not have a native desktop app for Mac. Had to download a different software to make their web-version function like an app.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing projects with multiple team members. Even use it to create tasks/lists for my personal use.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend testing Asana. Within just 10-15 minutes of a trial, you will see how easy it is to create projects, deadlines, and assign tasks to team members. Overall, we are extremely happy with our implementation of Asana!
Asana - the best online project management tool
What do you like best about the product?
I like the super easy-to-use interface. The Asana software is extremely simple to use and everything is so intuitive, which is super nice. They have tutorials that are optional when you first log into your account that you can go through to learn about all the different things that Asana has to offer. The ability to add your entire team to your project plans is a phenomenal way to get work done together even if you are not in the same place at the same time.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that more of the features on Asana were not premium features, and were available with the free version. As a small business with not too many available funds for software such as Asana, it would be nice to have these additional features to use with the free version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana provides an excellent way to organize each of our project plans that we are working on at NoMo Diagnostics. We use the collaborative features all the time as some of our employees are located in New York and the rest are in Chicago. The time difference sometimes makes it hard to find a time to meet together, but the collaboration features allow us to all review the project plan on our own time and make our own contributions to the data when needed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a simple, yet effective way to do project management, then Asana is definitely the way to go.
