A must-have project management tool
What do you like best about the product?
The first thing that I immediately liked on Asana was the look and feel. It is clean and the ability to customize it makes it even more appealing.
The philosophy behind it is straightforward and very easy to understand.
Team and projects are the heart of the system. On each project, there are tasks and subtasks. That allows teams to organize and break down each project into multiple sections.
Features such are templates, tagging and easy assignment as well as timeline offer a great set of tools that help the overall process.
Also, addons like Everhour (time tracking) provide additional functionality to the product.

What do you dislike about the product?
Asana lucks the ability to have a full view of an employee across all projects that he/she is involved. This is something that will be added in the near future though.
Also, I would love to see more options that resemble Jira - like sprints for example.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is the single PM tool that we use internally and externally with clients. This way we have a single point of reference for all our communication and project management.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is an amazing tool that can be used to track the activities of an entire company to a single place. The toolset is extremely easy to use and add-ons provide even more functionality to the product. We removed all other tools (Podio, Basecamp) from our toolset and now we use Asana internally and externally.
Awesome task management tool
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ability to create task lists for different projects and set clear due dates that are easy to keep track of.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that there is no option to set photo covers for tasks and that I cannot assign a task to more than one person.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before Asana, delegating tasks to my team was a difficult mission and often times people would have to jot down projects and other things I ask them to do. Now, I can just create tasks and assign them to the necessary person and when they are complete, they just assign the task back to me and I can be notified and take a look. It is super beneficial that I can organize everything that needs to get done into separate project tabs and then create sub groups of smaller tasks that need to be done within that project. It is very convenient.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would definitely recommend Asana to any one who is working on a project in which organization and due dates are important. It is even great for personal use because it will help you keep track of what needs to get done and which items are a priority. You can leave notes in each task so that you don't forget a thing.
User friendly task manager for small and big businesses
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to collaborate with colleges easily. I love the tag function. It allows to to keep al my projects grouped together while being able to separate them out based on skill and type. It also keeps side conversations related to each task within context and easy to reference later. I also love how customizable the project areas. Creating a layout that suits your work and makes the easiest flow for viewers
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that you cannot assign a task to more than one person. Sometimes when people are only followers they don't always get notified of changes. I also think being able to rate a task on progress, showing half done, would be helpful and motivating. The mobile app could use some upgrading. It is not as user friendly or well laid out as the desktop version. And a superficial thing is to have the little celebratory animals more often. :)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it for my work for collaborative tasks as well as a way for the entire organization to be aware of what other team members are doing. I think it helps build team unity in the fact that we all see the work going into the organization. And it helps us delegate more efficiently
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is a great way for a team to unity over projects, weather that is long distance or just to increase communication and access to expectations within teams. The free trail verses makes it possible for small businesses to trail run it without the cost risk.
I super love Asana for project management
What do you like best about the product?
I have been using Asana when they were still new to the market. Asana makes project management as easy as one to three. The scheduling features and completion are so easy to use. You don't need to be tech savvy to use it in organizing your projects or business.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana is so perfect for me and I can't find a single flaw on it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps you to track project completion, who's working on a certain tasks and what are the challenges to overcome to hit the deadline. Asana saves you time since you can manage all you projects and your team all in one place.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You will never regret if you use this project management tool. It allows you to use list or boards like in Trello.
Easy online task manager and planner.
What do you like best about the product?
I use asana daily. I write down all the tasks I need to do and love how I can set it to be a reoccurring task so I never forget. I also love how others can join in for group projects and can assign tasks etc. I have many group assignments and it's wonderful how everything- all communication- can be in one spot. Nothing really falls through the cracks and makes it really simple.
What do you dislike about the product?
There hasn’t been anything as of yet that I have not liked. I haven't had any issues arise or anything that would make getting my work done harder.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I’m solving the chance of forgetting to do the little things. There are a lot of little things that go into my job and a lot of small tasks- so Asana helps keep track of all of that. Also, I’m solving the issue of being able to collaborate with others who don’t work in the same office as you. Around sixty percent of my work is a collaboration with someone else who doe does not work in my office. So, Asana creates the atmosphere online like we do work together.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You will never regret signing up with Asana. If you struggle with learning new databases and programs- Asana is very easy to use and there are tutorials to teach you if you still struggle.
Great Tool For Tracking a Group Project's Progress
What do you like best about the product?
The best part of this program is that you can easily see how much work there is to do, and what the progress of the group members are. It also allows you to see the assignments that you have completed.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be nice to have more graphs. For example to see the productivity of group members over time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My work group uses Asana to have work assigned and to keep track of our group's progress on completing a project. It's especially helpful for remembering what work has been completed and when.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This program is good for keeping track of your own progress is well as that of your group.
One of the best ways to manage your tasks, your team's projects and even your recurring meetings
What do you like best about the product?
Tons of flexibility, beautiful interface, and overall a great solution for both task and project management
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd like the search to be more sophisticated, but it's not that big of a deal.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing personal tasks, projects and team meetings. It's easy and fast to get your team onboard and get started immediately, but despite looking simple, it actually offers a lot of features that make it a great tool for tasks and projects.
We even use it for managing some of our recurring meetings - As a kind of idea & discussion board. People suggest ideas to be discussed, all participants vote on which ideas to discuss in the next meeting, and during the meeting we summarise the discussion in the comments and leave next steps there. No topic gets lost!

Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is the most useful when your entire team is on it, and not using any other application. You want tasks to be in the same place, and if you must use two different tools (e.g, tasks in Salesforce + Asana) define clear rules which tasks go where.
My Experience using Asana
What do you like best about the product?
The task management and assignment in Asana is easy to use. The UI is up date because it is fast and responsive. You can add task and secionts at ease because it is in the dashboard and you won't get lost using it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana sadly is not for heavy tasks and event management like others because it is only simple. However if they improve it I would gladly use it again!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana specializes in helping teams manage workflows, and it's the surpassing tool to get the job right.
A very UI friendly and slick design, fluid and semantic. Makes it easy to use what ever the age range of the users. The features above makes this tool a very powerful one for team management and collaborations.

If you are looking for a light and up to date design and easy to use web app for your team you should use Asana
One of the best tools to keep your tasks organized
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Asana is that it is pretty easy to start using without much setup. It can cover simple tasks as well as more complicated cases.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is some ambiguity in creating new tasks and filling in the details. Everything gets published right away without having a clear trigger for posting the newly created task.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps you keeping track of your daily tasks, especially since you can quickly write down anything that you get asked to not forget about it when you are in the middle of something. Pretty straightforward. Another great thing is that it will keep reminding you of the tasks that you need to do and tasks that are upcoming.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana will be a great fit for you if you need to keep a simple task organizer and tracker for any types of general tasks
Great Project Management Tool
What do you like best about the product?
I use ASANA to document the timelines and high-level deliverables for my projects. What I love best is that I can share this information with my team and key stakeholders, using a simple visual where I can provide updates and important files during the project's progress.
What do you dislike about the product?
Their timeline feature is not as user-friendly or visually appealing as I would like.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ASANA has helped keep my team on track by reminding them when tasks are due or when updates are required. It's also saved me from having to keep my management team up-to-date on the project's progress as they have access to this information and can see for themselves what we are working on.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a simpler and more agile tool than Microsoft Project. I would highly recommend you test it first with a "small" project before using it for larger endeavors.
