Works great for task management but needs updating
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy how easy Asana is to use to track your progress with the project. My team and I are able to see how far we are from completion.
What do you dislike about the product?
There were times I would forget to sign in so I wish there was a better notification system. Some of the features are outdated and need to have better functions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Asana to track instructional design progress with Quality Matters courses.
It will increase your efficiency by at least 50%
What do you like best about the product?
It allows myself and my business partner to communicate and assign tasks to each other via a system that holds all the tasks in one place, this means NO MORE EMAILS! Which is brilliant plus the basic version of asana is free.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it is hard to find integrations into asana from other applications and the ability to trigger several tasks based on one action being triggered into asana is also sometimes challenging but for the price I think it si definitely worth it
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Assigning tasks, automating task creation and tracking what things we have outstanding that need to get done. This has increased our efficiency of communication by more than 50%, in fact I would say this alone is responsible for about a 70-75% increase in our business efficiency.
The benefits are that we no longer forget tasks, things do not get lost in emails and we don't have long streams of emails for tasks. In addition to that our sub contracts now use it so I hardly ever need to speak to them allowing me freedom to be able to continue to build my business quicker!

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you don't currently have any task management software in your business then you have to get asana, it is simple and easy to implement will save you tonnes of time communicating with other team members or just keeping track of outstanding tasks you need to get done and it doesn't cost a penny for the initial package.
We all know that running a business is a hard thing to do but what asana does is allows you to do more with less time, less thinking, less headspace and to ensure you keep on top of tasks allowing you to focus all your energy on the important tasks in your business and not worrying about remember stuff that you need to get done.
It even has mobile apps and tablet apps so you can take it anywhere with you!

I used Asana at a previous construction job and it worked well for the tasks I gave it.
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I was able to get alerted when tasks were do. It was also user friendly for others to use. You could also assign other people tasks that were in charge of the project. We really liked to use it during team meetings to keep track of which project we were discussing at the time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometime it was difficult to copy tasks or assign them. Also, it can be overwhelming to get the alerts if you are still working on the tasks at hand. When you assigned the tasks it was a little harder to use on the phone app. Sometimes the app would not work on my phone and I am not sure it was just too big for my phone to handle or if there were too many projects to get through.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it to track all of the things we need to accomplish or look up on different projects with different clients.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would suggest making the app more user friendly. I like working with it online but it is tough when it comes to the phone.
Easy to Use & Great Integrations!
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ease of use with Asana and dashboard features. Building out a task down many levels is easy, and the visual of the project makes everything easier to communicate. I like the comments feature and how I get notifications when team members comment on projects or tasks I'm included on or responsible for. The different ways to display tasks makes it easier to manage my own workload and time.
The mobile app is so easy to use and looks and works just like the website! I absolutely love the app. I get notifications on my phone screen about comments on projects and it really helps me keep up-to-date on everything going on for a project.

What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that you can't set up project and task templates in an easy manner in the version we use. Instead I have to create a project ortask and leave it unused and just copy that project or task each time. In the beginning I had to go in and update my email communications because I would get an email everytime anyone changed anything at all on the project I was working on and it would get overwhelming and my inbox would be swamped. Since updating my settings to reflect that I want less emails, there haven't been problems.
Also, while Asana is great for cross-team project collaboration and planning, it doesn't have the best individual task management system or to-do lists that are easy to see and keep up with.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana really helped with the management of work we have. My company I work for works completely remotely and before we implemented Asana it was very difficult to keep track of everyone's responsibilities and deadlines. Asana helps us complete our projects more efficiently and always on time.
I'm a contractor for my company and I have to keep track of my work time for every client and report it in order to be paid by the hour. Asana easily integrates with Everhour and made project and time tracking a breeze!

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider the benefits of different levels of plans. We use the Premium plan for the company since we're small and consist only of 10-15 people.
Great for project management
What do you like best about the product?
I use Asana for my team to manage our project tasks and to ensure all the communication we have is all in one spot. I like the assigning tasks function and the option to control what notifications you receive from the app.
What do you dislike about the product?
For myself, it was easy to navigate my way around, but for some of my team who aren't that savvy, they had trouble knowing where to start.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Asana we've removed the dreaded reply-all email thread, we stay on top of our projects and deadlines and we are able to see where everyone else is on their tasks.
Asana is a fantastic project management tool
What do you like best about the product?
I like the front end interface, it organises tasks into suitable categories and can be split into seperate sections. You will see the tasks organised by their due date which is very helpful when planning to delegate work within a timeframe. You can see the history of every task so when it was created, when it was due, and the current progress percentage - this is a benefit over having to go and ask the individual.
What do you dislike about the product?
The android version could be improved as it looks much better on desktop. Would be useful to snooze notifications from certain historic projects as notifications can sometimes become frustrating.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For managing projects in an effective manner when working to deadlines and ownership of tasks are important Asana makes all this possible. It has everything in one place and has multiple integrations.
Asana - a bit complicated, but does a good job
What do you like best about the product?
It is used as a task management and project management tool. Its easy integration with the Gantt charts made it very suitable for the needs of our company. Create tasks, assign them to different people, set deadlines, download files, discuss discussions on each thread.
What do you dislike about the product?
Adding options to chat on the platform would be great.
This is very difficult, and in order to use all the specific functions, everyone must follow all the textbooks, which requires a lot of time.
In most cases, it's difficult for me to find what I'm looking for, because there are sections, subsections, project names, etc.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is used as a task management and project management tool. His easy integration with the Gantt charts contributed to his meeting the needs of our company. Creating tasks, assigning them to different people, setting deadlines, downloading files, leading discussions on each thread are just some of the features that the platform offers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is well suited if the company is ready to organize training for all employees so that they can use all the functions of the platform. If you need a simple task management tool, Asana is not suitable, because it is too complex.
Best free tool for task management for team members
What do you like best about the product?
I like asana as is its free for a small team, we can assign task to team and they will get notification. Once task is completed we can get reports and all. We can add comments for progress of task and timeline for team members to do project task.
What do you dislike about the product?
user interface was little heavy ( which was taking time to load ) but its been taken care in new version. Now everything is good so far.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are managing tasks for team, progress of project work and requirement change can be commented on task. Checking reports of project task and team performance, time taken for a perticular task etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its good tool for small business and small team to manage team work and individual team members task for perticular project. You can have multiple project and add/assign tasks to team members accordigly.
Simple but effective task-management
What do you like best about the product?
I really like using this with my coworkers to create to-do lists for upcoming events. It lets us easily delegate the little tasks in a simple way, without a long email chain or long meetings discussing or confusion about who's taken care of what. The layout is very simple but effective. I also really like that the free version has all the basic features you need :)
What do you dislike about the product?
The screen when you first log in can look a little "busy" and overwhelming! Due date notifications are not ideal, and the emails the software sends out can be slightly confusing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The benefits are definitely recognized in the amount of time saved on the little tasks (that are still necessary). It's nice knowing exactly who's taking care of each little task and it can be marked off when done, so it saves a step in following up on each task via email or in person.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Note that the free version only works for a team of up to like, 15 people (maybe that has since changed). I have a small office, so that's no problem, but you will need to get the paid version in a larger office.
Asana Team and Work Tracking
What do you like best about the product?
The best part of Asana is the effortless task focussed communication. The system simultaneously tracks the details of projects being worked on along with the communication surrounding those details. It is all very natural. There is a free version available for smaller groups and it is quite powerful. It is only recently that we upgraded to the paid version in order to access the project dependencies and time management functions available within Asana.
What do you dislike about the product?
I selected the product and found it difficult to navigate and use. However my staff naturally took to it and a year or two after adopting Asana our whole company project management and task oriented communication was being managed by it. Staff gave me a training on how they had adopted it and I came to appreciate its power. I would say it wasn't initially obvious how to properly use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have succeeded at speeding up the implementation of some rather large software development projects. Asana helps to keep track of all the sub-tasks within a project and ensures that they are being dealt with. Communication and the history of discussion around each task is maintained in perpetuity.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana makes communication smoother for large and small projects.
