Great for project management
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is great for cross-team project management. I really like that they added the new boards feature, which is similar to Trello. This has allowed me to consolidate all of my project management onto Asana instead of multiple vendors.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that I get recurring tasks that I can't seem to delete.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has helped me execute on projects with cross-team members. I like that you can create teams, and then members from different teams can collaborate on projects. It's also nice that you can sum up all of your ongoing tasks in an aggregated to-do list or just look at your tasks as part of each project.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If your only hesitation is that you currently use Trello, check out Asana's board feature. It's pretty similar.
Asana Project Management Review
What do you like best about the product?
The aesthetics of Asana set it a part from other project management platforms. Content is appropriately spaced, the colors are bright and inviting, and the navigation of projects is easy. It also has many opportunities to link to other apps, such as slack, dropbox, google, etc., making its use seamless across the entire business.
What do you dislike about the product?
The free version of Asana is sufficient; however, the premium paid version has so many more features. I wish that there were more of these features available in the free version, such as timelines.This is less about the software and more about me wishing I could afford the premium version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has made it much easier for our team to break down the tasks necessary for our projects. It has also made collaboration much easier as information is always up to date and we never have to worry about whether we're working on an old version of something.
Endless Possibilities

I love the simple platform and how endless the possibilities are. There's a bit of a learning curve but once you create the systems you need it flows seamlessly.
What do you dislike about the product?
The lists can be tricky to create when you're first getting started.

Processes, idea and resource organization, client workflow

Organize yourself productively in all your contexts
What do you like best about the product?
It is very easy to use, in less than an hour you can learn to use all its functionalities. It is ideal to have a list of the tasks you do during the week, both in your work and in your daily life. You can create projects in the form of boards to track and create reminders. You can create very detailed checklist templates to copy and paste whenever you need it.
What do you dislike about the product?
The platform is a bit heavy, I tried it with an average internet connection and I had to wait long enough for all the dependencies to load. The rest is an excellent software, I do not regret having it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has the option to be synchronized with Google Calendar and increase its potential use, as well as the synchronization with Gmail to activate it appears a button to send the email to the tasks, so you can turn it into a project, just great.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The free version is very complete and I think it is more than enough for any type of average user. The premium version includes schedules, custom fields and much more. It's really worth paying for a premium version since its price is very low.
Easy to use task management for teams
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is very easy to use despite packing many great features. The app makes it easy to collaborate with your colleagues on tasks and projects. The boards feature is very useful for us as we use it to assign different columns to different stages of our project. This allows us to quickly know the status of the project. Asana's mobile apps also allow us to manage our projects quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana does not support switching between list and board layouts. While this is a minor inconvenience it would be great if different users could switch between layouts. This would allow our developers to use the board layout to match the Kanban style, while the managers could use the more traditional lists that they are more familiar with.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has helped us manage our projects better by allowing us to know what each team member is working on. This has resulted in better communication within the team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Spend some time reading about the features of the product. Asana is very simple and easy to use and a lot of neat features are hidden away. Read their documentation, take time to set up your project, categories/tags and your board.

The email frequency is a bit high but you can use user preferences to manage them.

Working with a team that is decentralized and in different time zones, Asana has been useful for creating a place for convergence, idea sharing, and task management.

Asana allows you to integrate third-party add-ons, but many of these are usually very expensive, their interface is updated however the first time you use it it will cost a bit of work to understand its functionality.

Project Tracking that Works, for Orgs, Teams, or Individuals

I love the intuitive organization of the interface, the ability to add tasks and sub tasks, to have conversations about tasks and projects, to work with different workspaces, to check the progress on different goals.
What do you dislike about the product?
It doesn't seem to jive with everyone's organization style. Though it works for me, some of my colleagues are simply baffled, so they don't collaborate well using the tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Breakdown of complex projects, and tasks, prioritization and completion tracking.
Great transparency for the whole team
What do you like best about the product?
I love that the entire team can lay out our projects and hold each other accountable while I'm able to segment my elements more on my personal board.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish I could put all of my boards on one Master Calendar.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With different hands at different places in projects, it was hard to see where everyone was and what roadblocks we were hitting. This was a way we could document our projects, keep everyone in the loop, and hold all of our necessary items in one place and not a million emails.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a great platform and accomplishes many things in one. Before getting too far in the using process, make sure that you have your organization process laid out and train everyone on it. There are many ways to use this program but for company wide projects, you need to all be using it the same way.
