Effective Planning App
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is like its name. Asana, which means 'EASY" in Hindi ....! It makes planning a breeze and very convenient. Sharing the plans is also very easy.
Reminders, setting timelines, wow, just love it.... and it is free. Attachments, timelines, calendar, to do list, collaboration, all in one place. And that makes it very special. I have been using this app for more than two years now. And, it is very awesome. Syncing calendar with other apps like google calendar is also very easy. You have everything in one place.No matter how many projects you working on, asana can handle all. And, its totally free to use.

What do you dislike about the product?
Interface is bit less customizable for me. it should have more customizing options. I would have loved that. it feels monotonic sometimes. More colours, more backgrounds will make it very fun to use. More themes should be added to the app. interface could have been bit better But, nevertheless, the features it provide are quite powerful to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Well, planning and sharing has become very easy. and we make sure we are on same page everytime, when we plan and execute. To Do list is very helpful and new calendar feature is quite advanced from other calendar apps. Attachments can be added with ease and different projects can be handled at same time. Timelines can be made. It help us in collaborating in very easy way.

You should definately give it a try.
Significantly improved product
What do you like best about the product?
It's really easy to track all my projects, goals, and tasks in a single location.
What do you dislike about the product?
I used Asana many years ago, and wasn't thrilled. However, I gave it another chance and significant improvements have been made. I can now add sub tasks and documents to the projects. My goals are in there and they are trackable. However, I'd really like to be able to search for other related items in an easier way for cross team collaboration.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management for complex projects.
This is best for organizing and monitoring projects.
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is an opportunity to eliminate chaos and organize the workflow in order to optimize it. The service has excellent design and functionality and, at the same time, easy to use. I like the function of organizing projects for each participant and for the team as a whole. This helps to assess the pace and dynamics of the project. And also makes our communications within the team easier and more efficient. I see Asana's great potential.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have any bad problems with this platform. Actually, I found that software useful and understandable for all working team.
This is not a minus, but my wish: I would like to be able to monitor and evaluate the contribution of each participant to a particular project.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using Asana was very effective for our team. It is an ideal service precisely for collective cooperation. We can prescribe tasks, set dates and deadlines, comment something, and much more. I also use this service for personal purposes. Notifications about the timing of my tasks, allows me to be more organized.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have a need to control the performance of tasks assigned by your team, then Asana will be very useful. Because it is the best tool for organizing projects, setting tasks and controlling the entire work process. The service is easy to use and helps to establish communication within the team.
I recommend Asana for both business and personal use.

I don't have anything negative to say about the program.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There are no business problems that I'm solving with Asana.

Have the inbox notifications be sent to our Gmail accounts.
Great tool for small groups & teams to keep organized
What do you like best about the product?
This is very convenient for scheduling and managing large groups of tasks that span across departments or teams. The calendar feature is also very useful, as is being able to tag projects and organize by importance or level of urgency.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not a lot to dislike, although it would be great if it had more calendar integration in the lower plan levels.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Eliminates (as it claims) the need for massive email threads which copy entire departments or teams.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great tool, start with the free version and go from there! (It's the type of tool that grows on you)
Pleasant to use, great for task managing with few drawbacks
What do you like best about the product?
Clean, understandable interface, tasks are arranged in a logical order. Project collaboration is a beautiful thing to witness
What do you dislike about the product?
Projects can disappear with a few wrong clicks, mistakenly completed tasks can get separated from the parent project topic
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeps everyone on the same page to say the least. I dont know what we'd do without it
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make use of the templates they will save your life!
Asana for commercial cleaning
What do you like best about the product?
Asana gives us the ability to communicate with all levels of management. It allows us to find new and interesting ways to solve problems
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the structure of the projects can get a little confusing for newer users. Generally after a little bit of training and time using the product it gets easier
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has allowed us to affectively manage the projects that we have on a day-to-day basis. Instead of things getting lost in translation. Instead of things being forgot about. We have everything in one place
Asana keeps me sane
What do you like best about the product?
Asana keeps my life organized. Asana allows me to keep my work organized. What's great is that not only am I organized I can keep my clients organized as well. It's a no pressure way of reminding your clients what they need to do and they can see what you have been doing too.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the different views confusing. Sometimes finding your projects between the different tabs is slightly difficult.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is a great way to keep all my Clients organized.
Lots of features but I don't feel more organized
What do you like best about the product?
Asana makes it possible to collaborate with others -- to have shared to-do lists and events with all my co-workers so that we can coordinate within our team and across various teams in order to make projects happen. I like the way it's possible to create different projects and dashboards and to assign tasks to specific individuals.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's difficult to add another site/login to my daily work process -- I find that I still jot things down on post-its or use my calendar application to keep track of things I need to do, instead of putting them in Asana. It's also difficult to track where things are in a process or to schedule the order in which things need to happen. Also, it's possible to assign things to someone, but they don't necessarily have to acknowledge/accept that the tasks were assigned.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're solving the problem of multiple people working on the same issue without coordinating. Benefits include less duplication of work responsibilities and fewer conversations about "has anyone thought of x" or "has y been addressed." It's easy to find invoices, documents, and materials related to a particular project.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend you evaluate what existing productivity tools you're using, and determine whether it's better to invest more in those (or upgrade to more elaborate versions of them), or to add another tool instead -- in which case you may want to divest from some of your current business practices.
Easy, intuitive and good for small teams
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to have oversight of both my tasks and those of my team members is very important. It's easy to set deadlines and stay on track. It has also seemed to have adopted certain elements from trello and other productivity tools which have helped create a more complete product.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are better tools for more graphic-intensive projects. All users on the same domain are automatically included in the same account. This is ok for smaller teams, but for larger more disparate teams this seems like it could create some organization issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a distributed team so it is important that the entire team is able to keep track of what the others are working on. It promotes accountability and allows us to adapt as needed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We did trials of a few different options, and our trial with Asana helped cement our decision. If your team is small enough it can stay free and if you're looking for a way to manage your projects, no reason not to try it.
