Great for project management
What do you like best about the product?
One of the best features of Asana is that the free account allows unlimited tasks and projects for up to 15 people. I have the free account and it is perfect to use for tracking my personal professional or home tasks. It's also extremely easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana is more task oriented, if you are looking for project oriented such as tracking budgets, issues, etc., this is not the right software to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I love that I am able to create a group and add people to it, this is a great function for simple to-do projects. Both personally and professionally I am able to track my progress (tasks) on what I am working on.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is a great, free product available to anyone. If you are looking for an easy to use task tracking software, this is the way to go. You can integrate other products as well, I use the Chrome extension for Asana and I connected my Google Drive.
Better Than Most
What do you like best about the product?
Overall I like the layout and color scheme. I prefer Asana to some of the other alternatives out there. I recommend starting with the free version it's a great way to get familiar with everything and you may find it suits your needs just fine.
Asana has tons of features and can really help you and your team stay on track. I like the project Timeline feature which creates an excellent view of the tasks and team members working on them. Creating and assigning new tasks is a breeze. You can also very quickly tell which team member is supposed to be doing what. Assigning a due date will also send automatic reminders to the team member involved. There are also many different view modes to fit your company's specific needs.

What do you dislike about the product?
The interface is not as intuitive as some other options. Some team members struggled to navigate their way around the platform. The slack integration doesn't work. It shows all alerts. Wish you could do more complex sorting for projects such as sort by priority and then date. It won't let you do this. The Gantt Chart can be done a little bit better UI wise, it is too big to follow it properly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Making assign tasks and creating projects easier. The way you can divide the project in tasks and create boards with the tasks make it very easy to visualise the entire project, it really helps to project managers and developers to make the communication easier.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great, especially for smaller business, I find it a bit annoying to do scrum tho.
Ideal project management for you!!!!
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has great things that make you really love working on it. One of those things is the ease of use. You can add as many tasks as you want, edit them, set the dates, scope, and description of the task, among others. On the other hand, you can not only have them individually but you can add several people to the same project through their emails, and in that way allow establish responsibility for the tasks of the project and send information about the task to those responsible for the tasks, noting how the progress of their work has been.
What do you dislike about the product?
One of the things that I do not like is that at the beginning it is not so easy to use. This facility is taken with experience, but once you know how to use it is super easy. Another thing that I do not like is the fact that the email you receive about the progress of the tasks has very little information about the task. I think I should have the name of the project and the dates set for it at least.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
you really learn to be much more organized with your projects, even with personal things that can become much easier if organized by asana
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend it easily. No matter if you are a student or you are the CEO of a company because there you can easily establish a schedule of how things will happen with respect to the project.
Simple but effective adhoc task management, flexible
What do you like best about the product?
When I was first introduced to Kanban a number of years ago, there wasn't any really easy to use software out there that I liked, until I was introduced to Asana. The notifications, project visualizations and overall UI is superb. They also continue to advance the product, some of the newer project management features and the things on the road map are particularly exciting.
What do you dislike about the product?
For non technical people who are used to working in email, it can be a difficult learning curve, but if you stick with it (them), they get the hang as soon as the concept clicks for them. I'd like to see more templates made available for starting projects with boards, there are a few good ones now, but there could be so many more.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting work tasks, especially adhoc tasks, out of email and into a trackable system so that everyone on the team knows what is done, what is being worked on and what isn't. It makes the whole team more efficient. It also helps with alignment and communications broadly.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are unfamiliar with the concept of boards, I suggest reviewing all the videos they have that explain some of the kanban concepts as well as how different types of people use it. You might also be interested in going to Youtube and searching for how to get the most out of kanban or how to get the most out of Asana. There are a lot of videos and user reviews out there beyond this site and some fantastic guides.
Asana helps me organize projects and make lists
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can share lists with team members and make comments and notes about each task. It is also helpful to assign tasks to different people, it makes it easy to work with a team. I like how I can separate and colour code my projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the way the side bar is designed, it makes it difficult to find projects. I also found the free version very limited.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows me to collaborate with others on projects in an organized manner. It is easy to share and invite others to join. I like using the app that helps me stay organized when I am away from my desk.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend Asana to anyone wanting to better organize their projects. I like that there is an app that you can use on the go. And it is good for collaborating with others.
Great for productivity - initial learning curve
What do you like best about the product?
I liked being able to project manage all of my various projects on the go in one place. Being able to upload deliverables within a thread made it a streamlined proccess and cut down on unnecessary internal emails. Also made sure everyone knew what their role was within each project and when they had to complete certain milestones.
What do you dislike about the product?
When I was a new employee and was introduced to Asana I found it overwhelming. It took me a while to understand all of the functions and commit myself to checking in and staying on top of my to-do lists and calendars each day ... perhaps prompts would've helped with this?
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Streamlined communication, centralized doscuments, conversation threads. The best part was cutting down on internal emails.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Commit to making it part of your daily schedule. Make it part of your morning routine when you get to work by checking it just like you would check your email. It will help you hold yourself accountable and maximize your productivity.
Great organizational tool with a wide variety of free features.
What do you like best about the product?
Asana provides all of the basic tools that you need to organize a project free of charge. You will find the basic elements you expect to see in a project management tool. Tasks can be setup in a list or card style, and assigned to team members. You can easily create multiple projects for a team. Files can be directly linked to a task, and a files area is available to view all shared files in a single location.
What do you dislike about the product?
The jump from free to paid is steep as it is billed by user. Being a web application is a good thing making asana compatible with almost every device, but the lack of a desktop application is frustrating. Integrations are offered through a wide variety of applications, but usually at an additional cost.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana organizes our team, and allows us to see what one another is working on at the moment. It helps the team achieve their deadlines, and keep our schedules in sync.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for project management with a clean intuitive interface give asana a try. You can fully organize a team using asana, but if you want to integrate with other tools or have asana integrated into another tool be prepared to purchase a premium subscription.
Asana Review
What do you like best about the product?
Asana was a very easy to use application. I liked that it can be accessed from any device - desktop, phone, tablet. It was easy to create and manage communication and tasks within the each respective project.
What do you dislike about the product?
This is a fairly simple tool used best for cardwall/to-do list type of projects. It's best for the projects that have little task dependencies.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
An easy way to connect and collaborate with folks across different departments for the same project.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a great tool when planning events or programs only requiring a to-do list. It's simple to create projects and tasks and to add/assign folks to the appropriate tasks. If your team functions best with reminders, this application can be set to send daily reminds to complete overdue tasks until they are completed. I would not recommend this for projects or programs that require a lot of task dependencies.
Project Management & Oversight
What do you like best about the product?
We use a couple different project management softwares for different teams and projects we are working on. We especially like Asana for our federal contracts in that it makes it easy to create to do lists for our team.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing, it's pretty seamless and they have a good mobile app.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Using the mobile app is easier than the desktop.. We have out inspectors use ipads in the field and upload docs and images to the app inside the app. We like how easy it is to use and recomend you download to try it out.
Great software for companies to stay organized
What do you like best about the product?
I like the functionality of it and how multiple people can work on it together. This has helped tremendously with working with my internal teams at my job. Lots of options on how to setup and organize tasks. Great mobile and desktop interfaces that connect seamlessly.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some specific features that are lacking and occasionally hard to figure out how to setup something a specific way. But affordable for what you get. When a project is finished, I have not found any way to remove it from my active project or equipment list. The only way I have found is to eliminate it or stop following the project.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Asana for project management, communication and collaboration. Asana is really easy to navigate with a lot of features - a great juxtaposition that can be hard to achieve. You can tell that time was spent in the user interface & experience, so that project collaboration and management can flow easily.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend Asana as it's amazing at organizing and managing big group projects and keeping track of huge volumes of information. Projects can be managed into dashboards for all involved team members to access and review.
