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 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.

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.
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.
