CanNOT say enough about the power of Asana.
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of building projects and tasks while adding notation, dates, and updates! There is so much that I can say about the functionality and intuitive design that this software provides. Not only can I do everything from my app, but the look and feel from Web to app is seamless in design, Making for a pain-free process when trying to project manage. No one likes a clunky interface when they're trying to GSD.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it takes a few more clicks then I would like, and it can be a little bit confusing at first trying to decide where to add notes depending on what level you want the notation added; for example, if you want to add to that the task level or at the project level, you can do either or both, but to see those notes on the task level requires clicking on each task.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have so much on my plate that this provides a relaxing flow and understanding of what needs to be done immediately, versus what can be put on a side or back burner or taken off the stove completely.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are plenty of Competitors out there, and you'll obviously want to make sure and weigh your options, however, I saw that has very good options for absolutely no price whatsoever, especially if you're a small business owner and don't have a large staff, or you are just project managing you and only you.
Using Asana for Project, Task, Team Collaboration in a Corporate Environment
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to add projects, set and track assigned tasks, use a shared calendar, and add attachments makes for a complete Project Management Software. It enables the whole team to know exactly what's going on in a project, who has completed their assignments and gives an at a glance view of the overall project.
What do you dislike about the product?
The sharing and security could be a little more granular. Some tasks and or edits made to the project or templates can be edited or removed by more collaborators than desired.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have used it to track Projects ranging from Re-Branding, Website development, and Level 10 EOS Meetings to keep the department heads on task and in the know in every step of the project.
Everyone is kept up to date on every aspect of the task without needing and coordinating countless meetings.

Asana is amazing!
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has helped me keep track of, not only my customer appointments I have scheduled, but also my team's appointments that they have scheduled with their customers. I can easily track who, what, when, where and why all by simply clicking on my Asana calendar and clicking on each appointment and looking through the information.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not much to dislike about Asana. If I had to chose something to dislike, it would be the interface. Although there is nothing technically wrong with the interface, it could use some sprucing up in terms of livelihood.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have had issues with previous companies in the past with keeping appointments and having appointments change without any notifications. With Asana those issues have been eliminated. You receive an email as soon as anything has changed with any appointment you are following. And following is as easy as clicking follow on the appointment tab.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you do not absolutely love the ease and convenience this program offers I would be thoroughly surprised!
Asana is a huge help with preojcet management
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is easy to use and can be picked up quickly without much training. This allows new employees to hit the ground running and not take too much time with training.
What do you dislike about the product?
It seems like there isn't much in the way of customization. It would be nice to be able to customize the templates a bit more to fit each companies needs and flow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We heavily use Asana for Project management. Being able to reference old tasks within one source is very helpful. Our company has various teams throughout the glove so being able to communicate via Asana helps to get things done quickly and efficiently even with a huge time difference.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely make sure it will work with what you want to use it for. Everyone has their own way of communicating tasks so give it a try and make sure the flow works for your company and employees
Asana makes task management a breeze!
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a great place to keep all of your tasks and files, a full calendar, assign tasks to teammates, create subtasks and post comments, categorize things into projects and more. I especially love the recurring task feature so you can easily have a task re-assigned weekly, monthly or in whatever timeframe you'd like.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the email notifications can be a lot - they seem unnecessary because as soon as you log in you'll realize what is due and what is coming up but luckily you can even disable the reminder emails if they are crowding your inbox.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's so easy to keep track of not only my own work, but the whole team's. You can view everyone else's tasks and in calendar mode it's easy to see how busy each person is each day and what they have due that day. It makes it incredibly easy to track project completion and follow up and have less missed deadlines. It's huge for accountability and production. We have 12 companies in our portfolio and it's easy for things to slip through the cracks, but Asana keeps us on top of the work,
Recommendations to others considering the product:
When you set up your team account, think of your large buckets that will serve as project folders and make it easier to group tasks. It also helps to tag projects and tasks in other ways for searchability. Experiment with recurring tasks and the calendar to get the full use. See what other programs it integrates with, such as Slack for an even better experience.
Asana saves my chronic procrastination
What do you like best about the product?
I work as a solo freelancer from time to time and Asana allows me to keep track of multiple projects without the headaches of juggling multiple applications.
What do you dislike about the product?
The dashboard could be a bit more intuitive and the default keyboard commands can present itself difficult especially if you are new to task-based management.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am helping fellow creative entrepreneurs tell their stories by tracking internal goals vs actions. I realized that I was holding back on the clients I was working with - they should be using Asana too!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are some great Youtube tutorials to help you jump over the learning curve - It's a must-have tool in my digital arsenal.
Impressed and finally organized!
What do you like best about the product?
I was looking for an app that I could organize everything from deadlines of projects, scheduled payroll, dates for training and everything I needed to do to get prepared for it and much more! I like that I can have it in my phone and that I can access it through the computer also, plus I can add other people and assign tasks and see the status of the projects I'm working on and supervising. Everything in one app only! I'm still learning and trying to help others to use it better as I learn, and I hope to have everything in it, as much as personal as for business, because it works even better that an agenda for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish I could have access to it from a shortcut in the desktop.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have ALL my deadlines for payroll, federal payments, user and password of the accounts, sites to go to, in other words, everything in one place with all the information, and scheduled for the whole year. Also I finally could get the projects with the people working in it and have better communication. This app has been perfect for me!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For me, its easier than others I tried before, I finally found what we needed, and its easier to use than most. I recommend it not only for business, but also for personal, like when preparing personal events like weddings, birthdays, baby showers and much more!
Simple / powerful project management
What do you like best about the product?
I like the simplicity of the product yet it offers so much more. Each task has so many powerful features and tricks you can find to maximize your efficiency.
I love the boards feature, for certain projects the visualization of boards makes it so much easier to see what's happening.

There are lots of hidden tools within Asana that I've ever never found or don't know exist. I wish there was a way to learn these things faster.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management and task management across teams. It's increased efficiency and less wasted time chasing down people when getting projects done.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take a few tutorials first, learn how to best use the product. There are lots of hidden features that are very useful but difficult to find.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend using Asana if you find it a chore to stay on schedule and want to reduce micromanagement. It can give the team a clear cut view of what needs to be accomplished without question. This can allow users to reach for goals on projects and challenge themselves to get ahead of schedule. It also allows you to shift priority and due dates. The entire team assigned to the project and view this and allows users to jump in where it is needed to complete the task. The different views allows you to see per task assigned to just you, calendar view with dates each task is due, and what needs to be completed per project for all users. The aspects listed above make Asana a very valuable tool that any company an benefit from.

We are managing teams across multiple offices and locations, planning and marketing multiple events in a calendar year and executing communications internally and externally with one platform.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
