A Beautiful Project Management Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Subtasks make big projects manageable, especially with the individual due dates and assignments within the subtask itself.
What do you dislike about the product?
Privacy controls could be easier to learn. I don't like the fact that anyone with an @organization.org email address can join the Asana "organization."
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Simplifies my and my team's to do lists, love having the option to upload files and included. Having everything out of email makes it easier to track projects from beginning to end. Accountability has been a nice bonus of assigning tasks with a specific due date.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The free service is robust enough for small offices and provide a good idea of what the product is like. The paid version definitely comes with more bells and whistles and is great for medium sized to large companies. Using Asana has greatly increased communication between team members. It has been huge in terms of accountability: team members know what is expected of them, what they need to accomplish the task, and a clear deadline.
Great task management app
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to share tasks and keep track of my own tasks. The ability to have projects, tasks, and subtasks makes organizing my work easy. Adding tasks via email is also a great tool, and I love that its ability to connect to other organization apps, such as time trackers.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have several workspaces. I wish Asana gave the ability to view all tasks from each workstation in one place. That would make it much easier to keep track of everything I have to do and to prioritize what needs to be done based on their due dates.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My spouse and I each have our own businesses but we also share some of the responsibilities of each other's businesses. It's so easy to assign him something in Asana if he's not there to discuss it with him, or as a reminder of things we've already asked each other to do. We've even started using it for home tasks: keeping track of bill due dates, housework, school events, etc. It's a great multi-purpose app - task manager, calendar and reminder list all in one.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
As a small business owner, I only use the free service. Some of the paid options would be nice to have but, at least at this time, the benefits received with the paid service are not worth the price, which is kind of expensive. The free service meets my needs and then some. I can see large corporations easily justifying the expense, however.
I Couldn't Run My Business Without Asana!
What do you like best about the product?
This software is a MUST in my business! I could not run as efficiently without being able to manage not only all my client's day to day task but following a project from start to finish. It's literally home base for my business. Also, for as small as my business is, you can't beat FREE!
What do you dislike about the product?
I honestly don't have a single thing I dislike. It's free to use for small teams like me and I couldn't ask for anything more! It's literally the best product of it's kind!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This is basically an admin hub for my business. It can even act as a CRM when needed. I love being able to have guests into a project where they can only access that portion of the site and not gain access into my entire business.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Nothing! Everything is great! I do wish there was a calendar view in the mobile app of Asana.
The best project management tool ever!
What do you like best about the product?
Where to start...I love everything about Asana! But I think the best part is how easy it is to use. Plus the user interface is easy on the eye ;) I also love the little animations every time I complete a task!! I've recommended this product to my husband and they've started using Asana for a month now and love it too!
What do you dislike about the product?
I didn't like the fact that I couldn't put in start dates for a project but I see that it is now available in Premium :) Also don't like that you have to put a task into a project to be able to see it in the calendar view. Not sure if this has changed with all the upgrades...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before Asana, there were projects that would get forgotten until the last minute, because the info was buried somewhere in my email inbox. We didn't know what projects the rest of the team was working on or how far along they were so if a team member was away from work and a client contacted us to find out we couldn't actually give any feedback. Now we have easy access to what everyone is working on, we know exactly what's outstanding on each project. Information for each project is stored in one place, so no more trying to wade through emails!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just try it...and you'll wonder how you ever survived without it!
Make your work easy
What do you like best about the product?
Its really great, easy to understand how to use it, and make my work much easier. Also is great because of asana work is much better organized, and you can see not all of your work, but also your colleague work which is great for teamwork.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is really great, im happy to use it. Only one stuff is problem, and that is that i cant reach asana on my mobile phone. - update - now i have asana on my phone too :)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- you have all written in one place
- better organization
- easy view of all work

try, and you will ask yourself how you work every day without asana :)
Clean and easy project management system
What do you like best about the product?
It's so easy to visualize my tasks and separate them. I love the calendar mode and how easy it is to visualize my schedule. I also love the ways to really personalize it, such as with recurring tasks, subtasks, attachments, comments. It's a pretty amazing system!
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was a better system for subcategories or sections within a project. Such as being able to move sections around within a project or something.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps me stay on track with all sorts of projects without getting overwhelmed. It's also a great way to quickly see what's on my plate each day.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want an easy way to stay on task, Asana is without a doubt the best tool for it. Project management is already hard enough for people, so making it simple makes it easier to execute! It's great for individual work, but also client wok too!
Best project/task management software I've used
What do you like best about the product?
The integration between Asana and Instagantt. It makes resourcing for multiple projects a breeze. Fantastic integration with instagantt and Harvest.
What do you dislike about the product?
The limited permissions, that any user can mark complete and edit dates.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team schedule planning and progress tracking.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A very easy to use and flexible task/project management tool. It has great integrations with other useful software.
Awesome Dashboard and very user friendly
What do you like best about the product?
I love the calendar view to see your project and tasks by their due date. Asana also has other ways to view including lists and columns (used like sticky notes). You can easily assign different users to tasks and set due dates. I love how you can keep track of project conversations or add notes/comments to individual tasks. This makes it easy for me to leave feedback or helpful bits of information for my team members. Asana also has a great feature to add files or attachments to a project - I don't believe that it has a version control feature, yet, however, its nice to be able to associate something (like a template) with a project.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish you could assign more than one user to a task - as sometimes i've come across something that is a collaborative effort. I would really make sure to check you email notification settings because it can get spammy very quickly if you have a lot of project updates. Other than that there's nothing that I strongly dislike about Asana, I think it's a really great product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My team uses the calendar to plan our monthly social media content and it is amazing for collaboration. We are able to pull in new company groups (such as human resources) to help share content and make sure that we don't overlap on dates.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This software is amazing for team project management or even for just organizing/scheduling your own workload. The interface is super easy to use and understand and I've had multiple team members say they use it to organize their own tasks, even if they're not involved in a team project using Asana.
It has vastly improved the flow of communication for our team
What do you like best about the product?
being able to assign tasks to various members. This allows you to give them a physical list of what they are responsible for instead of there being confusion over who is doing what, as well as a visual reminder in there to do list.
What do you dislike about the product?
That subtasks do not automatically disappear when completed the way tasks do. It can get very cluttered very quickly
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Open and constant communication between teams that are spread over multiple locations. We can all be in the loop with what is going on in one place, as opposed to a bunch of emails sprinkled throughout our inbox. All of the related information on an issue is in one spot, in writing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
When first using, I highly recommend a team training on using the software so that everyone is on the same page. It will be very intuitive for some people, but others will struggle and will need some guidance. So long as everyone understands how to use it, and you make allowance for a few weeks to learn efficiency, this software is amazing. I love being able to work from my phone, and their mobile app allows me to do that easily.
An excellent project management tool for home and work
What do you like best about the product?
Versatility, delightful in UX, templates
What do you dislike about the product?
Alerts, tons of emails. Unsure on fixing
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All of them? Goodness, Asana was a new tool for me when i entered my org and had never seen anything like it. While it was a sharp learning curve, it turned out to be indispensable as a tool and now necessary as part of my work process. My partner and I have even started using it at home to track chores and accountability.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Those alerts drive me bonkers and they end up being hard to manage and track. I would love desktop push notifications but my boss asks me to use Slack to send files else she gets an email with every file i upload. Maybe change it to an email when something's been uploaded to a task per day?
