Much better experience when you have an agreed upon template that works for your whole group.
What do you like best about the product?
With Asana, the free version does allow for a lot of functionality when it comes to coordinating cross-departmental projects. I used it for a large project with a lengthy timeline, with multiple phases involving several departments. It did help keep track of how many days are left for certain stages, and it encouraged a bit of urgency in making sure everyone stuck to their own deadlines (without other people having to send prodding emails, as Asana does that for you).
What do you dislike about the product?
Everyone has their preferred way of laying out project goals and timelines. Some prefer a list format. Others (like me) prefer a card system similar to Trello's. I know some of my colleagues who prefer to work exclusively out of Google calendar for planning projects. But when you're invited to work on a project, the layout is set to the project manager's preference, and even if you change the format to how you like it, the setup doesn't always transfer in the most accurate or intuitive way. You're a bit at the mercy of everyone's individual preferences if you work with many different departments.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's helping keep things organized when it comes to cross-departmental communication and organizing files and notes. However, it doesn't provide a more back-and-forth collaboration method. It's a bit like a virtual to-do list that's just pinned on my browser instead of the office whiteboard. I do like that it can be linked to Slack and that everyone can update things easily, get notifications for changes, and encourage accountability at all stages. However, it really depends a lot on the project manager having a setup that makes sense for everyone. Otherwise, it can be overwhelming instead of user-friendly and intuitive.

Good but expensive
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a good web app when you master it for project management
What do you dislike about the product?
It is very expensive for small companies and there is quite a learning curve. I wouldn't use it for strategic planning.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using it for project management, we tried with strategic planning but it wouldn't really fit our need. We might swith to trello as it is free compared to expensive asana.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is long to implement, so be careful
Asana - Great Project Management Software
What do you like best about the product?
I love that asana is user friendly and easy to organize. As a marketing firm, we need ways to keep track of all our ongoing projects and hours worked. Asana is the perfect software for this.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be hard to see the full scope of our work pipeline in Asana. It would be nice to have a visual. Also in terms of analytics, it is hard to see hours worked on a project over a long period of time. Most of our projects extend to over a month.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problems I am having with asana are the analytics. I would like to have more of a long-term view of hours worked on projects. I have realized so much more organization at my agency.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Start slowly -- use Asana support videos so you can learn the software well. It is user-friendly and designed well.

Collaborative project management tool
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use and collaborative, easy to control access/ add contributors to your project. Easy to integrate with other platforms using Zapier. Portfolios are a convenient way to group and track the progress of multiple projects in a portfolio. Filter options for my tasks, ability to see only incomplete tasks or sort by the due date.
What do you dislike about the product?
The search function could be better, it is hard to find relevant records when you search for tasks or projects. Goals are very general and are not tied to specific projects; we did not find this function useful. It would be nice to visually separate team projects in the sidebar, it just looks like one long list.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project and portfolio management. It is a nice tool to break down a project into smaller tasks and assign ownership to people on the project, being able to add comments to each task also allowed us to easily collaborate/ exchange information for each task.
A good tool to organize your tasks
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a great way to track projects and tasks digitally.
What do you dislike about the product?
With other competitors coming out, Asana has a bit to keep up with the additional features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was keeping track of tasks and overall projects while being able to keep detailed notes.
Very robust for administrators, less so for users
What do you like best about the product?
I found Asana to be easy to use and easy to learn for new users. It has a lot of useful features for keeping track of projects and tasks within. I don't know of any corporate task management systems that are as good.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really dislike Asana's notification system, it needs to be more customizable because I feel like my options are all-or-nothing email notifications. I also don't like that they added a "homepage" so that now I have to navigate in the sidebar to see the My Tasks page, which is where I actually spend all my time. I wish that it was clearer when someone had included information within a subtask (it's currently just a small gray icon) because I've missed instructions before, thinking that all the subtasks were just titles and otherwise empty. I also wish that I had the ability to assign a task to more than one user, as a designer who sometimes does team projects with other designers where it's really not possible to split it among subtasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Asana for all our project management, tracking, and organization. It's also great for record keeping, the search function is good enough to be able to find old projects and keep a written record of what everyone said and did.
Asana Review
What do you like best about the product?
Your entire team is able to keep track of current assignments and projects that you're working on or that need attention
What do you dislike about the product?
Not able to delete or remove "Projects" that you have been added to
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps to keep a good workflow. You are able to see and keep yourself organized. You can add deadlines to projects, sub tasks within a project, and mark them as complete when you are finished. So no more wondering if you finished something, or what you need to do next
