Life changing
What do you like best about the product?
The customization is the absolute best! I also appreciate the ability to integrate with so many different things, like Instagantt.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface is not set up to bring on multiple clients to your teams.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are now using Asana for a full team organization - tasks, resourcing, messaging, etc. We have realized the benefits of each person being able to organize their tasks in their own way.

Study up on all the ways you can make Asana work for you!
Asana, a great way to keep teams organized
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ease of making new tasks in Asana, assigning due dates to them, making reminders, and how easy it is to delegate tasks to different team members. There is also a comment feature where you can tag other team members and have a conversation which is great for addressing questions related to projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have been pretty happy with Asana so far. I don't have any complaints.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Asana to manage tasks assigned to my graphic designer, video designer, and social media designer to make sure all 3 of them are on the same page when they need to be and know what they need to collaborate on and when projects are due. Asana has saved me a lot of time and now I don't have to deal with email chains between multiple people.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana can be very useful for keeping projects organized and it will give you more free time

Why Asana is a Lifesaver
What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility of the tasks is amazing - they can be broken down in any way imaginable, and can reference other tasks/emails/conversations with ease.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do wish there were more options for client-facing interfaces.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My team manages all projects and communications with Asana. It's been a HUGE timesaver and has allowed us to take on many more clients.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely have a good understanding of your workflow first, as you'll want it to be consistent across projects in Asana.

Managing client projects and internal tasks
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a great looking task management system. It allows for project tasks in lists or Trello-style Kanban board. The paid version includes task dependencies, project start/end dates, and customizable fields. When used with Harvest Time Tracking it makes project tracking/billing extremely easy. The SmartGantt integration is great for sharing a project status with clients.
Best project management tool for keeping sane!
What do you like best about the product?
There is a view for everyone. Whether you like a card layout or a list view, Asana has it all.
What do you dislike about the product?
Of their existing features, I don't have any dislikes. I would love it if Asana had an email integration with Gmail to seamlessly add tasks right from email.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Asana primarily for event management, daily task management and client project tracking. I've saved time, kept on schedule and easily replicated project templates with their awesome tool.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Excellent for SMB's and those on a budget. Their upgraded service is still cost-effective and offers a ton of useful additional features for your growing business.
Task Manager for teams
What do you like best about the product?
Our organization has been using asana for a couple of years. When everyone buys into a product it speaks volumes of the product's utility. We use it in every team meeting.
What do you dislike about the product?
The subtasks can become endless and hard to manage.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have solved task management, project management, deadlines, responsibility and visibility.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try, a limited run of users is free.
Excellent Task Manager
What do you like best about the product?
Simple for the entire team to use. Gorgeous interface. We really find this tool useful. We switched from Basecamp and are much happier with Asana.
What do you dislike about the product?
Comments used to be uneditable but they fixed that, so nothing. I would like to be made aware of new tools and features. There are some features I didn't know about until now.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We’ve used Asana to manage three projects, bringing together remote teams to complete tasks successfully.
Great way to keep our team organized.
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is simple to use and extremely functional. It helps us keep our three different departments in communication, understanding staff workloads and timelines.
What do you dislike about the product?
Cost of premium membership. As we are a non-profit, it would be nice if a discount was offered. We're sitting right at the edge of the free membership and have to price out the premium shortly. The cost from 15 to 20 members is quite high as well. It is also not entirely clear what you get besides more members for the cost.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have several departments that have to work closely together. Before Asana, we had difficulty understanding what everyone was working on. Now, everyone can see everyone else's workload, we can schedule tasks, comment, upload supporting documentation, work from out of office/home, and easily keep in touch.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is a great tool for mapping out specific projects, but also for showing the general workload between staff and departments. It helps us to prioritize and schedule deadlines, ensuring tasks are completed in a timely manner without overloading people. We are currently able to use the free version, but as our team grows we will have to move over to the paid version.
PhD Student To Do List
What do you like best about the product?
Asana allows me to manage multiple to do lists across both multiple classes and multiple teaching assignments. I also appreciate how intricate I can be in terms of topic of tasks within one space. Writing notes about tasks is intuitive, and integrating other people into to do lists is easy - I do this for a class in which I teacher assist with several others
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the default view for tasks went chronologically.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Previously, I kept my to do lists in my head or on my notepad. Using Asana has increased my awareness of how much I actually face day-to-day, and provides me a space to double check when I may be unsure about how well I am able to remember what needs to be done. This space has also been great for delegating responsibility across people.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The program takes minutes to get used to. Create many tasks, even small substeps. Clicking on the check is very satisfying, and from a psychological perspective, completing tasks is motivating.
