Simple but powerful project management system
What do you like best about the product?
I was able to get going quickly. Since its a pretty simple software I didn't have to go through training or figure things out. I just started which is awesome. I keep all of my projects for clients in Asana which keeps them happy because they can see where the progress is on each task and comment where they see fit. It's been a great tool for this freelancer and I recommend it to everyone who asks about PM.
What do you dislike about the product?
As always there has to be something that bugs you about software. For me, its the extra features that require a paid plan. I understand that they need to make money but as a freelancer, I'm not to the point that I can afford to pay for it so the little bit of limitations I have to deal with is ok.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Deadlines. Happy customers. Happy life. Using Asana keeps everything organized and keeps me on top of projects so that I always deliver completed projects to the client on time or before. It's also a great reference point for getting a pulse on how many projects/time I've spent per client. Bottom line: it's saving me big headaches by keeping all my tasks organized.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want to get a project management system up and running quickly, Asana is for you. It's a great tool and you will be surprised at how many connections you can make with other tools and software.
Great task tracker
What do you like best about the product?
We use this for keeping track of IT tasks that come in so that we can update our users and track Google Docs, notes, and what we've tried so far to fix the problem.
What do you dislike about the product?
Many things are locked behind their premium features, which does make sense because they need to make money, but I feel it's over priced per user.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used to have a task list on our internal website, but Asana has allowed us so much more functionality. They have copy and paste for pictures built in, Google Drive functionality, and replying from email. It makes it much easier to update our users and they can respond from their phones if needed to keep us updated on the issues.
Asana changed the game for me
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite thing about Asana is being able to create tasks and assign due dates so that I'm always on top of my to-do list without forgetting any steps in my current projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I wish Asana had was the capability to make a range of dates.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am able to communicate with my clients or team with Asana without having to use email and have files lost in translation. I'm also able to keep all of my files in one central place.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I'd recommend using Asana if you are a service based business owner or if you have a team. You are able to effectively communicate with every member on your team, limit or broaden user capabilities within Asana, and set up client projects. You're able to upload and download files so that you can keep documents in one secure place. You are also able to check off tasks once they are complete and place subtasks within one task. The only upgrade I want it to have is the ability to have start and finish dates for tasks so I don't have to create a (start) and (finish) task for one particular item. Everything else is great. It is very easy to use and connect other users. They also have an app so you can communicate with your clients or your team even when you are out of the office. You will always know when a project is on time.
The best project management & to do list app
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Asana is free and so robust. And I can use it for everything—from tracking my personal tasks and meetings, to managing my business projects with clients. It blows every other app out of the water.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't think of anything I dislike, it's really that good. It's a tab I always have open and use constantly for my business. I guess if I had to pick one thing, I wish the surprise characters would fly across my screen every time I check off a task instead of randomly!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am managing my project tasks, from first inquiry to final deliverables. I no longer email back and forth with my clients, so everything is in one place and super organized.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it! You will love it!
Outstanding collaborative task and project management
What do you like best about the product?
Asana gets it. It's clear that they use the tool to operate their company. Above all, they listen to customers' needs and have built new features that add further value.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish their were wider adoption. There are some people who don't understand or like Asana, because they don't learn to use it properly. It's hard to keep things moving when you have to work with people who won't use a system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Asana to keep track of work requests (new and revised documents), to plan and implement projects, and I use it to keep tasks out of my brain, so I can focus on one thing at a time. A huge benefit is the ability to collaborate across an organization.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take the time to use Asana's homemade training and onboarding tools. They teach you how to actively use the tool in a way that you're not just "wasting" time learning.
I Develop ICOs and Asana Works Best for Project Management
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy Asana's overall UI and flow to keep track of a project's tasks. I also like the possibility of exporting the project to CSV file since this opens the doors for multiple data tasks that other project managers don't always allow.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that sometimes when there have been many tasks in a project it is overwhelming to receive notifications for the entire thing. I would prefer to have a single notification subscription button per task rather than per Project so I dont get flooded with task advances for tasks that are maybe not so relevant to me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Developing an ICO for a Startup.
Benefits is that it increases communication and transparency of goals for the team.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be wise about how to give access to your project. Not every task is relevant to all members but at the same time appreciate the fact that the status of the project gives a team the transparency to know how everything is doing so you have to learn to level that by extracting the project information in CSV and presenting results separately to your team for the project as a whole.
Great for team collaboration, and organising projects and tasks
What do you like best about the product?
Asana worked really well for our team of 10 staff - a mix of contractors, employees, GM's and remote staff. It is easy to assign tasks to another person, create a project, create recurring tasks and track any task at any time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Setting up all the permissions and access can take a little bit of time to get your head around.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This solves the problem of having a central place for all projects by section of the business. You can also see who is doing what on which particular task and when deadlines were due.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A great product but I would recommend starting with a list of what you need from software, then what you would like then a nice to have list. See how many ticks this software gets. Compare it to at least two pieces of other software of the same nature before making your final decision. This is what I recommend for any piece of software. Also, check out their own forms of customer support, and social media sites to see what other customers have had to say about the software.
Manage everything that you need.
What do you like best about the product?
I can say that it is the simple way to control team projects and tasks. I have the ability to make every project a success for our company. I like the way of map out every step and organize all the information of our work in one place.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't want to tell something bad about that product but I guess that there should be more themes and a lot of choice of colors. With this tools will be a much better way of working duties.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a streamlined way of leading projects and depute tasks to other people. We can view the status of a task that has been delegated is easy. We like that we can to track the data that’s most important to our team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The software is really powerful and very useful project control solution. You will have the opportunity to manage all your working task. The better able to control all your information. To use that product is easy.
Helpful task-management software!
What do you like best about the product?
I love the function that schedules tasks to recur after being marked 'complete.' Other to-do lists require the same tasks to be redrawn each time they are finished, but this is a very helpful way to keep regular weekly and monthly rhythms before my eyes. I also love the ability to assign tasks to a) specific projects and b) specific people.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's not much to dislike, honestly. It's a very simple interface. Color-coding of projects helps create more order if you're a visualizer like myself. The formatting of each task is helpful and thorough. I haven't struggled at all with using this program.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's very helpful to have a supervisor assign a task, I receive the notification, then they are made aware once my task is completed. This takes delegation out of emails or face-to-face conversation and places it somewhere much more reliable and visible.
Makes my day to day so much simpler
What do you like best about the product?
I can keep track of everything that's happening with my business in a simple to use, great looking dashboard. Asana has the right amount of features for people looking to add to their regular to-do apps, but at the same time don't want to spend hours customizing stuff or learning how to use the software.
Everything is very intuitive. I've used Asana for different businesses (as freelancer, as employee, as project manager, as business owner) and always found a way to organize my workflow to serve my goals and role.

What do you dislike about the product?
Lately I've seen some notifications to go missing. My phone is not alerting my of new activity and the web app takes some time to refresh when there are new comments or tasks created.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I wanted to keep track of all my tasks and daily progress. Instead of using pen and paper scattered all around or combining 2 or 3 to-do apps to get where I wanted to be... now I use Asana.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use the free trial to see if it fits your organization. The free trial comes with massive features that you can test before making a decision to upgrade.
