Asana is a great solution for small remote team management
What do you like best about the product?
Its easy to set up a new project and add tasks. You have control over users for each project. Easy to navigate between projects. Possible to add lots of details for each project and quick get status updates. The boards are quick to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Potentially for a bigger project it would be worth having more gantt type features without the weight of ms project.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project planning, scheduling, delegation, status updating and issue mgmt. Saved time and stayed organized.
Great project management software
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is incredibly easy to use and set up. It has a lot of good features: I like that it gives you reminders, and allows you to check off tasks after you finished with them, and finally, to send draft docs to others within that task.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do wish that Asana had more connections to slack, and also had more project management features such as reporting and budgeting features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are trying to keep all of our projects and communication transparent within the organization. It has helped the team to see what is due as a group.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its pretty simple and intuitive to use...
My life is changed
What do you like best about the product?
My productivity and organization is so much better. As long as tasks are added, nothing is slipping through the cracks. I also like that because I work in a job that runs on a cycle with the same projects every year, the ability to copy a project and adjust the timeline is amazing.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really wish that there was some way to get desktop notifications.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Now I know what everyone on my team is working on and it helps to make a more equitable distribution of tasks. We aren’t losing track of anything these days.
Helpful for scattered team
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it updates in real time for all users and that you can open and close tasks as needed, and search for closed tasks long after closing. My tasks are regularly completed and I can change them as needed.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be helpful if task reminders, such as a popup were an option, rather than emails which are really too much. It would also be nice if there were an inbox system where you could see each time you are mentioned /looped into a task. I would also like sub-tasks to be able to be reoccurring like regular tasks can be.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allows us to not duplicate work, keeps better communication with team members spread out working at different locations/remotely from home, and makes sure regularly performed tasks are actually done.
An excellent app to amange work and tasks
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is really easy to use and you can manage your tasks from your computer (without even having to download anything, something I really value) or from your mobile phone (through the app, which is equally intuitive and very conveniente!) from anywhere you need to! You can create tasks from your e-mail with attached files without even having to login and they will be there when you need them.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a lot of options but you have to install external plugins for some of them. Also, the search option is not very good (it's fine, though!)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are very happy with this app at my company. We always know who is responsible for every task and who is part of the team working on it. We have al the information about each project easily accesible and organized.
Quick and easy, tangible checklist
What do you like best about the product?
Organizable project boards, assigning tasks to team members, including deadlines, ability to view project calendars or team members project board tasks. Color coding is great!
What do you dislike about the product?
The maximum team members for free usage is about 15 members. When working for a non-profit with a team that grew to 30+ volunteer intern members, it was challenging to not be able to keep our taskforce and team members all in one place.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helps teams stay organized and delegate tasks per project. Super helpful for a large team that is running multiple projects at once while all team members are working different schedules and locations.
Great task manager
What do you like best about the product?
How easy it is to manage tasks, you can organize work comfortably and assign tasks to colleagues without complications, it is very simple and clear to use, plus, you can use external services to add the functions you need.
What do you dislike about the product?
Its simplicity, its greatest strength is its greatest weakness, the fact that it is so simple makes it difficult to mark the times and know when a colleague is free or not, or if a task is completed on time.
Having to look for those external services that I think should already be implemented is a problem, since these services can disappear or cause some problem at any time, although at the moment I am very happy with Instagantt+ which is used to apply the Gantt chart to the tasks created in Asana.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The organization within the work group was initially very difficult to manage, both the work and the timing. We didn't have any tools, and it was very challenging. We needed a free and simple tool to get started. When we started using Asana, we thought it was the best work management application we could use as a small, non-profit development group.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is a good platform for small companies, you can create tasks in a simple and organized way, you don't need much knowledge about task management to be able to use it. Additionally, if in the future you want more with the external applications they offer, you can make more use of it.
Recommended for small teams that have just started and want simplicity, for later on I think other services are better.

Task organizer of infinite benefits
What do you like best about the product?
A quick way to summarize it is: An agenda with infinite possibilities. At first, it may seem a bit complicated, especially because being a scalable and configurable application, it comes completely empty, but this is where its power lies, as it can be adjusted to any scenario. In our case, we use it as a board with schedules, quadrants, a database, and everything digitally, hosted in the cloud and in our case free because we don't reach the limit of 15 employees, so... what more could you ask for. Each user has access from a PC or mobile (Android and iOS) and it works really well. The truth is that even if you need more than 5 users, it is still an application very much worth considering, the learning time and money it requires is very small for all it can offer.
What do you dislike about the product?
That an application is so configurable can make it difficult for us to start because it comes empty. You have to create the users and all the projects we want with their respective permissions. Once the application is configured, it is about understanding how it works and getting used to it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is a consultation board and on it we have all the data we need. It's like an agenda but much more powerful. You assign tasks to each person and everything is recorded, making it very difficult to make mistakes and saving a lot of time since everything is recorded and serves as a reference and historical record.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The version is free for up to 15 users, it's worth trying it out and seeing all its potential.
Asana -
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can assign a task to multiple people and it alerts them. It makes group projects a lot easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
the search capacity wasn't super great. You had to be super detailed and remember exactly what you were looking for, which can be hard when you dont remember.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were using Asana to manage projects and assign tasks. It was helpful to be able to assign a task to multiple people and Asana made it easy to duplicate tasks for more than one person.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you have someone managing the Asana account for your team.
Great for small team projects
What do you like best about the product?
To be honest what I like best about Asana is the crazy amount of functionality that you get in the free version. The most helpful feature is being able to assign tasks to other team members.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the mobile app offered by Asana. While it is great that they do have a mobile app I found it very hard to navigate and get things done on the go in the app.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Asana to manage team projects like agent on-boarding, designing and ordering new marketing materials, or creating video projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely hop on the free version if you have a small team that needs help improving their workflow efficiencies.
