Great Day-to-Day Project Mgmt Tool for Marketers
What do you like best about the product?
The interface is very conducive to using it every day. I also like the Calendar view, which gives a quick snapshot of what my tasks for a week or month are.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much to dislike about this product - it's got everything i need for simple marketing project management. Perhaps some additional features on handling creative and design workflow would be great to have.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helps streamline our marketing program workflow. We use it to keep track of all of our tasks, and deadlines. It helps provide our team with a bird's eye view of our goals, and keeps us organized so we are prioritizing and working on the right tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great web-based solution to use for small and large teams.
Great tool for tracking projects
What do you like best about the product?
It is straightforward to set up a project and track milestones.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have issues with the permissions in Asana. For instance I will click through a link and be told I don’t have access to view the content...but I have no way of requesting access to it or seeing what exactly I don’t have access to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project tracking, collaboration, milestone setting, task assignment.
Asana makes project management easy for everyone
What do you like best about the product?
It’s so easy to create tasks and subtasks in Asana. Developing scrums and using agile project management is much easier than before. I really love that everyone can drag and drop different documents and collaborate in one space. It's also really helpful to see everything in the calendar view.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some areas like Gantt charting that aren't quite as easy as they are with other systems. I also dislike how difficult it can be to search for specific tasks. For example, if you don't search for the exact task name, it can take forever to find what you're looking for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We’re solving a lack of organization. For the most part, things are no longer slipping through the cracks. Additionally, the product is helping with accountability. We can easily tag and mention various members of our team when they need to have eyes on specific projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're considering Asana, just make the switch. It'll be easy for all of your company to use – including those who are typically less responsive and/or tech-savvy.
Keeps me organized
What do you like best about the product?
The encouragements when you finish a task are fun and I love the gant chart. Used to make these with post its on the wall- having it in a software is exactly what I wanted. I like the option to have the sticky notes visual as well as just a list
What do you dislike about the product?
Most is self explanatory but a few features harder to figure out, like the documents / files.
Dont like that other users can take a task from you and assign it to themselves without permission. When working quickly on a project with a lot of tasks and a lot of peoplre, this has caused two people to work on a task at the same time on more than one occasion.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
staying organized, keep track of what needs to be done, delegating tasks, working on projects as a group. Nice to be able to save a workflow and copy for future use. So easy to mark a task as complete and send it along to the next person in the work flow or reassign to someone else. Nice to keep projects separate by department too
Recommendations to others considering the product:
super easy to use and for each person to customize to see tasks laid out in a way that is helpful to them.
Easily allows a project to move along from one person to the next with out the need for emails.
Keeps you motivated by encouraging you when you finish a task

Excellent for Clients & Team
What do you like best about the product?
Lets you invite unlimited clients to a project to collaborate.
What do you dislike about the product?
You still have to be a super organized person. Sometimes the notifications and dropping of tasks can get forgotten.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Transparency with clients and making sure as a team we don't miss any steps. We set up templates like projects so we do the same tasks with consistency.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Compare it to others - if you want to add your clients without paying for them, we found Asana is the best bet.
Great for Teams!
What do you like best about the product?
I love that we can have individual tasks along with our Group tasks but are still able to keep them separate. This makes for easy tracking and assigning them to other team members.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that your tasks aren't sorted by completed/not completed. When you mark something complete, you hav eto manually drag it all the way down to the end of the list...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're having our projects completed on time and all members of our team are active in it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Keeping your projects prioritized and keeping all team members involved is a breeze with Asana.
Simple and customizable interface
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to customize to make things as simple or complex as you need. It only took me about ten minutes to get the hang of the software. I have a client who already uses Asana for task management. They assigned me a company email and it was great to be immediately connected to their other projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really dislike that you can't view more of the board tasks and cards at once. I think you can only see 4 cards and about 4 tasks down. I'd like to be able to remove certain features if I don't need them. For eI think the list dashboard can be simpler. I don't want to see blank lines if I don't need them. I'm a visual learner/worker and it crowds my thinking. I don't like that I have to really get into the software to be able to see where the shortcut keys are. It would benefit from having a quick list of shortcut keys you can learn about immediately upon signing up for the software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's great for project management for my freelance clients. It's nice to be able to control access and give them a snapshot of all the moving parts with the board feature. I tried a few other task management software programs and Asana stood out the most for its simplicity. Some of my clients are not tech savvy and it's really nice to see that it is simple for them to understand.

Asana is a life SAVER
What do you like best about the product?
Organizing my projects by board is such an amazing feature. It's like virtual sticky notes, but in an organized and easy-to-use fashion!
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish I had more customization with my tasks in terms of repeating. It would be nice to have tasks triggered by an event or schedule, like every other week or by date. Unfortunately, it only lets me repeat by week.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest benefit is managing a team. Working together to solve problems and work collaboratively on tasks has been a big help in keeping things moving in the right direction.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Investigate other softwares so you know just exactly how amazing Asana is! We investigated several project management software, but Asana kills it.
Game Changer!
What do you like best about the product?
Love how easy it is to use, and how easy it is to manage all those small details that cannot be overlooked, across everyone on our team. Especially if someone is off, their tasks can be easily picked up by someone else.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish I could flag some of the tasks as a high priority
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Making sure all the small tasks are being taken care of, having a system to make sure we're able to cover off each others tasks during absences, and having systems & processes in place for new projects
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Watch Youtube videos to find best practices. It'll really help.
Awesome. Has helped with organization immensely.
What do you like best about the product?
I am a hard-core 'to-do lister' I live by them and I can't function without it. I have a ton of notebooks full of to-do lists and I hate wasting all that paper. I used Asana in a previous role and I LOVED IT. Knew I had to implement it with this role and I have not used a to-do list again. Love that you can assign tasks to users, and when it's marked as complete, you get a notification!
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly nothing! They have changed their layout so much and it is so much easier to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organization! Helps with staff who have a million things to do throughout the day and need to rely on a software to get organized.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend trying it out for yourself first and using the free trial. Then, it's easy to present to staff and get them excited about using the platform.
