Robust and growing platform for planning and managing project
What do you like best about the product?
The interface truly is one of the best parts of the app. The nudges and UX is just fun and memorable. The app offers a wide variety of features and doesn't cost as much as some other tools. The Timeline feature is great for planning larger projects, and the possibility of a proofing and approval functionality is exciting.
What do you dislike about the product?
If there's one thing I really don't like about the tool, it's the fact there's no way to switch a project back and forth between board view (Kanban) and list view.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use this tool to plan, run, and analyze our projects. This includes websites, videos, branding projects and more. It's helped reduce the spinup time for projects by allowing us to create and use project templates.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I'd highly recommend giving Asana a test drive to see if it fits your needs. It's a really robust app and very affordable.
Keeping Projects on Track
What do you like best about the product?
I've always been a list maker. I enjoy the feeling of being able to cross a task off as soon as it's completed. Asana steps up the task completion fun by providing you with a flying unicorn or other creature after a task is completed. Make sure the option is switched on though, otherwise you miss the magic.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana is a great project management tool once you get the hang of it. However, if everyone on your team is not using the program, it doesn't work to it's full capability. Also, I wish it was a little more user friendly. It's a little difficult to navigate when you're a beginner just starting out. Also, those flying magical creatures you see after completing a project, I wish those happened after EVERY completion, not just a few.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've become more organized with my everyday tasks and have managed to reach project deadlines with ease using Asana. Our office has started using the calendar and subtasks feature as well.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Schedule a Asana workshop with your team and really take the time to learn how to use Asana properly. Make sure everyone feels confident when using the program. Switch on the "Show occasional celebrations upon task completion" in your settings. You won't be disappointed.
Asana takes a moment to fully adopt but once you're running it's awesome!
What do you like best about the product?
Dependencies work flawlessly, comments/inbox/alerts are great. Overall, Asana has become the core of operations.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish you could download timeline view into a PDF, you can still share the timeline but it would be great to add to presentations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organization and project management for our clients. Status project and the pillar for our status report meetings.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do it. Asana does take a bit to fully learn (it's packed with features like portfolios, projects, etc) but once you do - and have your company fully adopted... it will be your work wall garden.
A lot of great features even with the free version
What do you like best about the product?
Asana does a great job of keeping me on task. I like getting the reminders each day for the separate work spaces so I can quickly see what I need to accomplish that day. It's also easy to create new projects, separate tasks into sections and assign them to staff.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be great if there was a view that incorporated all work spaces. It is difficult to schedule tasks when you can't see everything at once. I have to keep my calendar open when scheduling to make sure I am not overlapping tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving our task and project management with Asana. The biggest benefit is staying on task, not missing deadlines and managing projects that may be falling behind.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have multiple projects with multiple work spaces you may want to consider alternatives to Asana.

Asana review
What do you like best about the product?
Asana makes it very easy for me while I am working to be able to keep track of all of the customers that need to be called back.. it allows me to seperate my personal calls from work calla.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you are not careful when you set your dates you will put the item on the calendar years in the future. It could cause you to miss a date that work needs to be done if your not careful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to make sure that all of the customers that we promised to get called back receive that call that they are expecting. This makes us more reliable and trustworthy.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This software is a must to schedule your work needs.
Great program to use.
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoyed using Asana because of its organizational skills and abilities to communicate with all members of the project and let them know real time updates while providing next steps.
What do you dislike about the product?
I did not dislike anything about the app I do feel it there could be improvements in regards to more organizational styles. I feel that better search options could be improved as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Over all communication management by allowing us to be in the same page with projects updates and results.
Extremely useful and very easy to get people on board
What do you like best about the product?
The simplicity when you first start using it. It's immediately useful and you don't need to go through help pages and forums to get going. It's very intuitive, visual and definitely helps the work flow in our team. The new Asana Business, which will also include resource management, will make this definitely the tool to use in my opinion. This was a shortcoming when researching which tool to use, but now it makes the tool very complete.
What do you dislike about the product?
The "Home" page is not very useful for the time being.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Large quantities of projects across different teams makes it hard to coordinate and be aware of what everyone is doing. Using Asana makes it much easier to have an overview and make sure everyone is working on the tasks they are supposed to.
Great Collaborative Space for Teams
What do you like best about the product?
The interface is easy to use. Messaging in real-time with updated on progress is especially helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Would like to see more customized options based on industry being used for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Great for use in settings where teams are in different locations. We are finding it very helpful in keeping our virtual team on track andunited in purpose.
Amazing for task management
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite Asana feature is when it automatically creates a task when I send it to special email. Many other apps do this, but Asana creates tasks from emails just as I expect it. I’ve tried many of task and project management tools. Asana is so successful for one simple reason – its dashboard looks like an inbox. Most people send and get their task by email and get used to inbox design and structure.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana can lead to inbox-overload. By default, you are subscribed to updates on any task that you create or follow. Updates include someone marking a task complete, leaving a comment on a task, or adding a file to a task. This means that if your coworker adds a file, makes a comment, then assigns the task back to you, then marks the task complete, you're looking at 4 emails in 10 seconds.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps to control every task of my team. With ready integrations (namely Slack and Google Docs integrations) Asana makes communication and cooperation between my team members more effective. Asana has also improved performance time and quality of completed tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
my team managed to use free version for almost two years. We upgraded to paid version only when our team grew and we had to add more people to our workspace. Check for Asana user cases posted in their blogs. There are some really good tips there which will ease your work with Asana. Also Asana promotes agile project management and you can create a kanban board for your project if necessary.
