Excellent for Teams to Track Projects
What do you like best about the product?
Great and very easy to use. We like the fact that most people can use it readily.
What do you dislike about the product?
Costs too much! For every person you add it gets expensive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having everyone on the same page, we open a lot of taprooms and do a lot of projects so it has helped in this.
Optimizing your time, opimizing you life
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing for me was that you can use the boards if you want. or change to a list. The software is very easy and friendly. You can assign any task and put it in the calendar. Its pretty cool, because you can download the app and update your board.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can´t think in just one thing that dislike me, but the team of Asana can upgrade the subtasks part. I mean, the thing is that you can`t assign subtasks to nobody, so you have to turn them in tasks, and that is not cool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The benefits of this software are the boards, the capacity of assign tasks and that is free.
With the free version, you can handle your agenda and your projects. But, the best tools the paid version have it, like the timeline that is perfect for manage projects with a big crew.

The navigation of having to move an item to appear under a different category can be frustrating
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is great for following up on action items from meetings. Instead of things being left undone because there is uncertainty about who is responsible for what task, there is clarity and those items get done
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Embrace the feature that allows you to create different headings. It took me a while to start using that feature and it is one of the best. Also, use it as a team-building opportunity to help clarify roles in your work relationships - don't feel awkward about assigning someone a task, it's really helpful!
Asana is a fantastic under-used tool!
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a great way to organize priorities and work on projects! The dashboard is cool and interactive. It is easy to use and even has a favorites section!
What do you dislike about the product?
Things stay there in your dashboard until you delete them or move forward with them. So make sure to keep update while using the took to avoid 'cluttering' your dashboard.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Group projects, time managment, pulling reports.
Recommendations to others considering the product:

Really simple to use and collaborate

It's so easy to tag people and make sure that once they're done they don't have to keep getting notifications since you can just take them off the task.
Super easy to organize projects and prevent duplicate tasks.

What do you dislike about the product?
There's nothing that comes to mind. It serves the purpose we have it for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has helped us remove silos between departments by collaborating on projects here. If someone feels they want updates they can be added as a follower. It has helped us project management at scale.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Depending on your needs, Asana helped our operational excellence go from a 6 to a 9. We are able to get so much more done now that we have everyone using and trained in asana. They have great training videos that make training from 0-80% about an hours time.

What do you dislike about the product?
They are continuously notifying that there is an improved paid version.
At times, you lose the connection and can lose some work, there is no way to do a restoration.
It seems that at times it goes slow because you are on the free version, it's as if they are turning off the tap to make you switch to the paid version.
Technical support takes a long time to respond to questions.

Excellent Tool For Visualizing Work and Flow
What do you like best about the product?
Many web-based kanban/AGILE/swim-lane tools and project management tools in general are complex and difficult to learn. When I was presented the task of managaing a complex technical project with a team of 20+ manufacturing managers, team leads, and engineers, I knew I needed a simple tool that was visual, colorful, and inviting. After a lot of searching, I found Asana and I was very pleased. The click and drag UI with simple, clean, and colorful theme made it appealing to users and easy to train on. Even users with very little history with web-tools could go in and see what work was assigned to them and provide updates. This is a tool I will continue to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some features I am not a fan of. For instance, the fact that a task can have only one assignee. However, Asana has an active forum environment and has responded to others with this issue. Their perspective makes sense - at the end of the day, you want ONE person ho can answer for a deliverable. "When everyone owns it, no one owns it." However, this is difficult when trying to structure layered teams.
Also, I was not a fan of the 3rd party integrations available and the lack of Gantt chart support. I ended up using Insta-Gantt.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Spend time learning the features, setting up tags and favorites, and browse the forums. This is not only a simple tool to use, but is feature rich.
ASANA has been very helpful.
What do you like best about the product?
The projects are well organized and ASANA is user friendly. We can easily access the projects added on asana and can easily upload and attach documents as well. Asana is like a one stop shop where everything is really accessible. You don't need to find other platforms as everyhting could be in asana.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing that I dislike in using ASANA. Since I start using asana, there is no downside of it that I have found. And I have no issues encountered. It has been really a great help. And it has been one foundations of our success with regards to the projects we worked on.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has been used as our method of communication in taking over some projects with the clients. And it has been so easy for us because it is organized and easy to use. There are many benefits that I have experienced with asana. It has been a great help on managing projects, even though we have so many projects on going it has been easy because of the user friendly interface asana has.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend asana to others. Most especially those people who are working in a group and working on many projects as well. Even though there are many project handlers, you can easily be on track as everything is really organized and it is really user friendly. The comments are also a great help as all the insights of the members or the handlers of the projects are being considered.
Effective Project Management Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a crucial tool for my team and me when it comes to task management. I love the ability to put the tasks we discuss somewhere in an organized place, map them out on a calendar, assign team members, specify due dates, and more. The layout is also very clean and straightforward and allows me to organize and complete tasks with ease.
What do you dislike about the product?
I've found the notifications to be a bit bothersome and have had trouble trying to reconfigure them. I would appreciate having more options in the notifcation center. I also find the "My Tasks" page to be overwhelming and wish there was a function to further organize the tasks that are assigned to me. As is, the list will easily become too long and it can be hard for me to organize in my head.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has been a huge help for my team. This makes every aspect of executing our daily tasks easier, and in turn, makes us a more successful, efficient team. We use Asana exclusively as our project management tool.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would definitely recommend Asana if you are looking for a way to organize projects for your team, keep track of due dates, and map out strategy in advance. You can leave notes in tasks, assign team members, create sub-tasks, and more.
So good—and so free!
What do you like best about the product?
I've been using Asana for over a year for both my business as a solopreneur and my personal tasks. I even use it with my interns. It's a terrific tool for project management, and everyone that I introduce it to can't believe it's free! I even heard a millionaire once mention that she and her small team use the free version. So, it works for a small startup like mine as well as some of the big guys. So easy to use and great options. I strongly prefer it over other tools like Trello and Basecamp.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it would remember how I like my tasks sorted for my board. And I wish my interns boards looked exactly like mine. Not sure why they don't. Those aren't a big deal at all, just picky things that I noticed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management for myself as well as managing interns. It's a super easy way to outline projects, tasks, and subtasks. And very easy to change due dates or details when needed. And I certainly love checking something off my list and seeing it disappear! :)
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try! I love it, and have suggested it to many others!
