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.
Task-Oriented Project Management Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is great for working with multiple teams on different projects. You can add as many users as you need and sort out tasks by team. You can also generate tasks with deadlines.
What do you dislike about the product?
The email frequency is a bit high but you can use user preferences to manage them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
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.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do not try to make use of all of the features, only use what you need to keep things simple.
Manage and organize your team's work.
What do you like best about the product?
With Asana I can trace my projects and tasks in a simple way, be it a marketing campaign or a project launch, Asana allows me to create lists of objectives and tasks so that all their teams are up to date. You can also create activity plans, you have many options to share information of all kinds, whether files or documents.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps me a lot to maintain communication with my team, with asana I can achieve my goals quickly and in this way I can meet the deadlines of projects and tasks at work.

Project Tracking that Works, for Orgs, Teams, or Individuals
What do you like best about the product?
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.
Great for project management - large or small!
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is great for individual project management or the entire departments project management. The view options are perfect, I prefer to see things as a calendar, while others on my team prefer the stickie note view. The tagging and tracking is fantastic, and the integration with Slack is my absolute favorite thing.
What do you dislike about the product?
This is more on the department and team, but there isn't really a clear format for tagging and naming conventions - things can get scattered and confusing very quickly. It helps to go in with clear directive and having one person or tiger team own the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The department is trying to track timing, task allocation, progress on projects etc. all while providing visibility across the team into what is upcoming and what the status is. All of things things have been realized and are benefits. We've tried using Jira and Basecamp in the past, and Asana really gives us everything that we need across the board.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I've tried a few of these tools over the years, and Asana is the best one out there for our needs. Collaboration, project management, and visibility across departments.
Great for Tasks and Projects
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best is that it gives me a clear picture of what my team is working on and vice versa. They can see what I am working towards and my deadlines. I also love that I can easily assigned and comment on tasks for my team and my manager, in case they need any assistance.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that every time I log in I have to select to view only my unfinished tasks and projects. It tends to show my entire history and I just think it's unecessary to show.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's easier to delegate tasks and create deadlines for different teams in our company.

- File management could be better to stay organized.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're using Asana to manage our projects and todo lists. This helps us stay accountable to each other as the todo lists are reviewed in our weekly management meetings. We also use it to track projects, delegate tasks, add dependencies, and more. It's a great overall system.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're trying to run your business as lean as possible, Asana is an excellent project management tool. I've tried Trello, Workflowy, and a vast assortment of other tools, but nothing has worked for me quite like Asana has. I would recommend it as a staple solution in your software toolbox.
Quick Free PM Tool
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can track your agile project on a board and see your list of tasks and what has been done and what is still outstanding
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like that if you have more than a few tags on a task that you can not see them from the main screen
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Salesforce implementations. It helps track my tasks and also lets the client see where we stand. I definitely noticed that visually it makes my team want to work harder to get tasks out of their queue and see their progress
