The best designed task management tool
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to learn, attractive and simple interfaces, easy to make it your daily home base. Great for both new and experienced computer users. I love that you can have task/project-related convos and attachments. This is excellent if you are like me and frequently need to show people where they made decisions in the past in an easy way. I love that events can be recurring on almost every pattern I've ever thought of. I use it for grants tracking, so I can assign out pieces to different team members and easily gather pieces back to me. I love that I can hyperlink to previous years notes, attachments, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I least like about Asana is that you cannot learn all of its functionality just in a single day. I hope they send an email with each subject or functionality with a video link so that it will be easy for someone to learn all of the things you need to learn to enjoy Asana services in a day.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I also use it to plan editorial pieces, social media, communications campaigns, nonprofit programs, board meetings, household tasks and chores, etc. Previosuly I used it for large books/projects to break large academic projects into smaller pieces. I've used it with large and small groups aged 18-67. I've set it up for over 10 orgs/groups and it is fast and easy. Everyone loves how easy it is to just start using it. Great email functionality and it has a ton of add-ins you can use to link to other software.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For new users, I would definitely suggest diving in and checking out all the features Asana offers. A great way to start is by watching the tutorial videos they have in the help menu in the top right corner of the site. Once you're comfortable with the app, I would look into the power features they have. Getting to know these will increase your productivity and efficiency in using the app. I would also say to get your team on board.

The best task management product I've tried.
What do you like best about the product?
Clean, intuitive, easy to use. The design is nice, not too crowded, but you have the option to add notes and comments to delve into the tasks. I really like to be able to use Asana on a variety of devices. Asana is one of the most powerful and flexible task management products I've tried. My team is very grateful with this software!
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana has a bit of a learning curve. Due to its power and complexity, it may take some time to become familiar with all its capabilities and how to navigate them. Fortunately, the Asana guide does an excellent job of guiding new users through the basics and advanced features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can do the heavy lifting on my laptop and then access all the projects / tasks / comments / etc. in the progress of my phone. It goes beyond the basics with functions like infinitely nested subtasks, the ability to comment, assign, add tags, expiration dates, etc. At a completely granular level.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would like to recommend this product because it is ideal for a medium or large company and will allow you to create and track the tasks of everything from daily administration to project management. It has more than one way to use the platform giving more possibilities and has some excellent integrations with slack and gmail. It also has excellent role levels, which means that you can control who sees which task and group.
Asana Makes To Do Lists Make Sense Again
What do you like best about the product?
It helps me brain dump my to do list to get on with my day. I like being able to drag and drop to organize my tasks and I like being able to separate my tasks into different sections.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be difficult to find tasks that have been completed. I’d also like some more powerful sorting options.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping track of to do lists especially for projects that involve repeat contact with someone outside the company. I use the comments feature to essentially log progress and I set the due date as a reminder to follow back up on the progress if I haven’t been updated already. I like that it provides transparency and a record of my productivity.
I LOVE this Product!
What do you like best about the product?
I have only used the free version, but it has made projects more streamlined and communication easier. Both organizations I have worked at have used this software and it has helped to keep me on track and is good for content calendars, assigning tasks, and having an overview of what has been completed. There is also a chat feature, but our org uses Salesforce Chatter and G-Chat, so we don't have a need for that feature.
What do you dislike about the product?
Only issue, for paid and free, is you cannot assign a task to multiple people. You can have "followers" but only one user is the task assignee. We made a work-around for this, but that was the only stumbling block.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management, scheduling, approvals of projects/project tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I've only explored the paid product, but the free version is doing great things for us!
Great Project Management Brings Teams Together
What do you like best about the product?
Project view options, from list to kanban board. This takes Todoist and Trello functionalities into one place. I also love the sections within each project, subtasks, easy filtering of due dates, and the Calendar view.
What do you dislike about the product?
None at this time. My team and I started using this program heavily these past two months, so we'll need more time to spot any opportunities of improvement or things we don't like.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We work with exam development, so anytime we deal with new exam launches or exam changes, we undergo many different processes within the functions of each team member to make sure we're following through to complete tasks that move these major projects forward. This has helped the team have one hub to view upcoming exam project launches and progress points utilizing lists, sections and deadlines.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're looking for everyone on your team to be on the same page of several projects and be empowered to carry on with project milestones with clear expectations of ownership and collaborative opportunities, Asana is for you! Using Asana has kept me close with understanding what's on my team's plate and what I have prioritized for me during the day, week, month, and beyond. As an editor in my field of work, I handle small and big projects along with routine and one-off tasks. Asana keeps me in check with the things I need to get done and be able to keep my boss and colleagues informed of the status of these tasks on a daily basis. I think everyone will benefit with being able to wrangle projects on Asana as a team and individually.
I love this CRM
What do you like best about the product?
I love Asana's free features. It allows you to completely add all of your clients/ customers with plenty of information, depending on your needs. I also love the checklist feature where you can add tasks and check them off as you go, while under a specific customer/client- completely customizable. You can also have multiple users working on projects or assignments simultaneously and it auto-updates for everyone. You can also leave notes on each account for the other staff to see.
What do you dislike about the product?
I honestly don't think I've come across anything that I dislike with this program.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This CRM is so user-friendly. You don't need any experience with previous CRMs to be able to implement and use this successfully. It's so customizable too, so any type of business could benefit from it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is the way to go!
Asana is your all-powerful PM tool!
What do you like best about the product?
I like how Asana is free for small teams, allows us work in multiple "workspaces", allows me to easily create tasks, allows me to assign tasks easily, allows me to move tasks around easily, allows me to capture notes easily, and easily assess everyone's progress. I'm a road warrior, so I love their mobile app too!
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike not being able to move a project from one workspace to another. And I dislike not being able to create "sections" inside the mobile app.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Breaking down projects into manageable tasks, saving notes in one place, and tracking everyone's weekly progress.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Sign up for the trail period and start using immediately! You'll never go back to your old way....
Helps small agencies manage massive projects
What do you like best about the product?
We're a team of 10 and manage over 40+ clients and projects each month. Asana helps us organize every task, assign roles, develop timelines and track progress. Its template feature allows us to map out reoccurring retainers and processes like onboarding.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a great platform, but there's a bit of a learning curve with some employees. We've had to create a training process for it specifically. Once they get the hang of it though, it saves a tremendous amount of time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working with a small team, Asana has really helped our agency scale (while keeping sane). It allows us to keep comments and documents collected within a single project task. We also use labels to locate archived tasks at later dates.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It never hurts to try it out! Be sure and check out Asana's resources. We found them extremely helpful while setting up our reoccurring templates.
