Simple, yet effective
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is perfect for my organization since it incredibly intuitive to use and makes keeping track of deadlines easy. It's easy to attach files and keep things moving.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are times when email notifications are a bit wonky and don't come through. We've fixed that by just tagging each other in comments.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Previously, it was pretty difficult for us to keep track of deadlines and the progress of different projects. This way, we can assign each other tasks as we know of them and can keep things moving. It helps us all stay accountable and productive.
Asana is incredible for repeatable tasks - thanks to templates
What do you like best about the product?
I love the template feature. This allows me to take a series of tasks for something like blog posts that I can repeat for QA, and thoroughness.
What do you dislike about the product?
The boards feature isn't quite as good as some of the competition.

Consistency in Content Creation
The Ease Of Asana
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to see what needs to be done.
What do you dislike about the product?
How some tasks seem a little jumbled. It seems like sometimes, the tasks have too much going in. It may need to be separated out a little more.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana enables me to see what needs to be done in order of urgency. It makes my job as well as the other people I work with, jobs a lot easier.
Quick and easy collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Prior to using joining this company and using Asana, I had been using a different, but similar software program for project management and collaboration. I find Asana to be easy for getting everyone involved and particularly like the tagging function and ability to separate different tasks by those responsible for completing them.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the left taskbar to be slightly cumbersome to navigate, particularly if you have multiple lists of tasks you need to keep track of.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Greater collaboration and project management, with fewer emails and "progress updates" to keep track of.
Asana as an easy alternative to task management

Easy of use, quick to learn.
Asana gives visibility to the pending tasks in a snap.
Helps control the pendings and prioritize the tasks.
The clean user interface.

What do you dislike about the product?
If you don't organize your tasks properly, sometimes it is easy to loose or don't see pending tasks.
The hability for subtasks, although very powerful, can be confusing if the subtaks go too deep.
The editors are not "wisig".

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Although we are using the free version, Asana has helped us a lot on:
1) Communication between teams.
2) Transparency on delegation and responsibility.
3) Due dates assignment (or reassignment).

Recommendations to others considering the product:
1) Decide beforehand the overall structure of project, subprojects, tasks and teams.
2) Don't go too deep using subtasking. Two levels is good, three levels max. No more!
3) The learning curve is short, but if you are migrating from another tool (as was our case, migrating from trello), Asana can be difficult to switch. In our case, people who use trello is much more visual, using "cards" and Asana is more of a list view.

Just added a home page tab, similar look and feel of Basecamp, but able to get more tasks done in Asana.

The new platform to organize your projects and tasks
What do you like best about the product?
It is an excellent tool that will allow you to organize your work, allows you to have work teams, with which you can share documents, can have conversations, have a list of tasks and see the process of them in a very simple way, its interface is very attractive and very easy to understand.
What do you dislike about the product?
It has a free version that is very limited, and another thing that I do not like is that it can not prioritize tasks and, since it is an online software, sometimes the Internet connection can affect the speed with which it works.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can organize my team very easily, avoiding meetings, we can be more productive when we do the tasks or activities.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Excellent software for collaboration in the team, it is ideal for people who are far away and do not have time to be in an office.
How is the basic version of this product free??
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is the perfect software tool for collaboration and product management. It is elegant, functional, easy to pick up, and really makes collaboration within a team much, much easier. It's also a testament to the product quality that looking through the feature questions for this review I learned about like, a dozen other capabilities I hadn't even known about before. Wow!
What do you dislike about the product?
I do wish that subtask functionalities were a little more robust, but that's a 'would be nice to have' problem more than anything.+
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has completely changed – or at least reenergized – how I approach project management, both for myself and with my team/
Recommendations to others considering the product:
GO FOR IT.
A Darn Good Digital Checklist For Better Project Management And Productivity!
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Asana provides daily or weekly email digests of upcoming or completed projects. This helps keep me abreast on tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some interface bugs/ limitations with no apparent documentation on how to resolve but they are minor and there are constant back-end updates to improve the platform! One issue I had was deleting a user I invited who never accepted the invitation to join my Asana workspace. However, customer service is great and can help answer any questions or issues you may have.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is a great project management tool that helps teams communicate crucial details to increase productivity and streamline workflow. It acts as a digital checklist and has certainly replaced my need for a written notepad!
