Task is the Key
What do you like best about the product?
i like how you can dive your project in small Task and have the control, the team project work over a same place and can see any change on live, is easy comment over a task and have new ideas. the Alerts is a good tool because in any place we have the last news about the project and make sync between the team, has option for mobiles i think need more design but is good.
What do you dislike about the product?
i what to have a big calendar to watch a big picture about all. have one but i think need a better structure, or maybe a better design. i want more options to custom the design, to look more like my brand. maybe a option for video increase the productivity, but i think at future the can implement.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
sync project with all team, this is the first problem we fix with Asana, and the option to shared the files is a good option and safe, the due date help us to make goal about the project, and the easy option to make priorities over the task help to make a project realistic all time. another problem fix is how track the progress in the team this is very good for managed. in general asana is a good tool for track and develop any project, thanks for this app.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
integrate a better options for mobile, in the section for task
Smooth look, great features.
What do you like best about the product?
I like the task management system. It's super easy to use and organize goals into subtasks, move them around and assign them. It's great for keeping track of progress, accountability and planning. I LOVE the improvements to the look and feel over the past few years.
What do you dislike about the product?
It could use a better file management system. We use other apps for that, but we could use Asana too.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It improves efficiency, communication and productivity on teams. (I first used it as a team member in programming, now I use it as an administrator for freelancing.) It also helps me keep track with clients as a freelancer.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We used Asana and Google Drive my first time with it, and I implement that combo in my own work as an admin now.
use the free version as a high-level project management tool - great so far
What do you like best about the product?
I like the task view. I use it as a project view and write my task notes in the description box. It's essentially a high-level checklist of all my projects. Then I can click in to each one to see the details I've written in each.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was an option for the project view to look like the task view. I essentially use the task view as my project view because I don't need to get very granular and set a list of tasks. I just want an at-a-glance view of my project pipeline.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it to track my individual projects. I don't use it to collaborate on a team.
Great for teams to collaborate and stay on track
What do you like best about the product?
It's a great way to track progress of projects by distributing tasks to different owners. I also like that it's easy to add tasks, sub-tasks, links, and attachments.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that Asana integrated more seamlessly with the google business suite.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Holding teammates accountable for tasks, increasing ownership because there is transparency into what parts of the project different teammates own. You can also see whose parts of a project are contingent upon other teammates' work therefore I need to keep up with my deliverables to avoid holding someone else back
Best todo list tool for startup
What do you like best about the product?
Clarity of information (task list, deadlines, progress chart and calendar view)
Flexibility of the tool: creation of tasks and fast sharing, adding document by drag and drop, adding people to notify
Traceability: each task has a history of the versions and each change is timestamped and the author identified
Integration: added tasks by email, notifications, access to Google Drive / Dropbox documents, Zapier automation, synchronization of tasks with Google Calendar, mobile app & browser extension, etc.

What do you dislike about the product?
It takes some time to learn how to use each feature of the product as there are so many features. It requires someone who already has some knowledge to be able to guide other team members. They are easy to use once you do work on them, but some users struggle with more specific features such as dashboards, communication tools.
It does not have an in-built instant messaging/chat feature to chat instantly with team mates although they have options to integrate with other softwares for the same functionality.

Eliminate the exchange of emails, Create much stronger synergies between the teams and of course Reach the objectives more quickly.
A very good project management software
What do you like best about the product?
I like the interface a lot. It is bright, simple, colorful, easy to navigate. It doesn't take long to learn everything about the tool. I also like that it automatically help you prioritize your to-do and it is a fun tool to use within your team, so you can look at what everybody else is doing and easily assign tasks to other people.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that you need to open a webpage to get onto the site. It would be easier if it could also be developed into a desktop app and just have it right open at one click.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using Asana for project management. It has been very helpful to manage a team's tasks using the tool, micro tracking the time of each task and clearly see which team members are on which task.
Form your team and organize them
What do you like best about the product?
The calendar is completely interactive, you can almost do everything from there, which is very good for those who have time-sensitive projects, as it creates a very good timeline for you and you can assign and create tasks on the spot within the calendar. Then each task leads to its wall and more, which is fabulous because you can start your session in the calendar and keep everything in mind quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like at all that outside the calendar there are so many options in so many menus, because it forces you to navigate through several menus to find the option you were looking for, in the end you always end up going to the menu because it is the better-made interface.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As an organization, we must organize ourselves and Asana is the perfect program for that, which is why we have chosen it. We used Trello in the past, but it leaves much to be desired, especially regarding the calendar, timeline, and everything related to time, which is vital for us.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is not difficult to use, but I recommend using only the calendar, you have everything there after all.
Asana for Organizing Projects and Team efforts
What do you like best about the product?
I am relatively new to Asana so I have been taking time to build out the foundation and have utilized all of the Asana tools that are available. This has been great, community, help, email and the webinars!
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing that I dislike at this point, but, I will be working to add some of the email links and integrations shortly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has allowed us to keep track in one repository and we can select the way we want to arrange each task. This is a truly helpful feature, because not every project makes logical sense to be laid out in a calendar style or board style. We are now working through all of the different options. The other portion that is helping is the linked efforts and the dependencies as well as assigning tasks accordingly. We currently work with third party vendors that use Jira and Asana, so this is a nice way of collaborating between different and like apps.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Their support tools and community articles have been very helpful. I have also sent an email to sales regarding questions and their response time was within 2 hours! They were able to confirm my question and point me in the direction.
Asana: Good Project Management and Team Work App
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is great for small teams. I recently collaborated with another person on a long-term project and used Asana to track action items and progress. You can also have conversations, share files, and track your progress on multiple projects. Action items drag and drop easily so you can rearrange them if something in your project changes.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface was a little confusing at first. You have to click through different levels of screens to get to where you want to go, and sometimes it can feel like you're in a maze. The general arrangement of information just took me a few days to get used to for some reason. I do wish there was a way to make the whole thing simpler or have less screen hopping.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm keeping track of my to-do list, and I'm able to mark off and archive items that I've completed (which I really like). I think it's helped me to see how much progress I'm making. I can also look back at conversations and old documents, which comes in handy when planning for future projects. The ability to tag team members directly and have conversations cuts down on emails, too!
Super Convenient for Keeping Your Team on Track
What do you like best about the product?
I like how we can easily enter notes, attach docs and update status quickly... and keep all members of the team in the loop.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are too many notifications hitting my inbox, but I haven't learned how to turn off email notifications yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We don't need face to face meetings, or calls as much as before, very time efficient way to work!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try, but be patient for the 1st few weeks when using it. It will likely take everyone some time to get comfortable, but should be a great addition, well worth the time and effort!
