It took about two weeks to fully learn its functionality.

Be patient when you initially start learning asana. The learning curve is steep.

SIgns me out of google sign in all the time, but not too many issues
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm solving the problem of having someone on my team able to manage their tasks for the day and give me transparency as well into their progress and what they are working on
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its a great tool
Good workflow with fun and creative templates for tracking all the steps in your projects
What do you like best about the product?
It allows for collaboration and teamwork. You are able to track your own tasks to smallest details and also assign tasks to others in you team.
What do you dislike about the product?
There a limited options for basic templates. If you want to start from scratch (not using a pre-made template), there are only 3 or 4 options.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I’m solving a lot of personal problems with remembering all the tasks that I constantly have to juggle. Creating projects in Asana and tracking them throughout the week has increased my productivity and confidence in my job. I always have a tab open with Asana on my browser and have made project management more of a priority. It is a simple tool with lots of capabilities. It did not take much time to learn how to use the site.
Project Management - Good for Personal and Team use
What do you like best about the product?
gant chart review of team project status
What do you dislike about the product?
feels like "work about work" to track projects, updates, etc
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
capturing OKR's and projects in one place so that team can take snapshot of point in time and realize where staffing efforts are most strained
Recommendations to others considering the product:
start simpler
Software-as-a-service meant to boost team coordination and task management.
What do you like best about the product?
One of the main reasons I enjoy using Asana is that it is modified regularly to add new features at no additional expense. With our team, I could set targets and split them into small tasks that are allocated among team members in the software, and I could easily track the progress on each task based on timetables. I could manage workflows and view portfolios on a single dashboard with several taps, which makes it quite user-friendly.
What do you dislike about the product?
In particular, there's one thing I've considered to be uncomfortable with Asana. At points, their customer support has become incredibly difficult to access. They have staff with phone numbers, but you're not going to be able to contact them anywhere. They do have a chat feature but don't always keep track of it in a reasonable timeframe, which can be annoying if you're working on a timeline.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Overall, it was great. I have nothing more to say about asana except for good things. Asana is a remote work platform that lets teams coordinate their tasks, from day-to-day activities to project activities. With Asana, you can link all your work to one location and get the groups along, wherever. From charts and forums, and schedules and Gantt maps, it helps you find your way to work.
Great product, although can be a bit lacking in all uses
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to have a many different tasks running simultaneously. This ensures that things are not missed. It is a solid work flow management tool. I think the key is for an organization to effectively implement and ensure that this does not simply add to the work flow. The dashboards can be very useful in getting a snapshot of what needs to be done for the day, week, etc. It is a product that we were able to get up and running with right away. It is pretty user friendly.
What do you dislike about the product?
It might be more of our use case, but I think there should be a way to make tasks more or less important. Often times there are a ton of little tasks that just clog up the inbox. Additionally, I wish this was integrated with a CRM system. I think that component would make it an even more valuable product. As we grow, I think we may outgrow this product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our biggest problem was for our Director to know everything that is going on with our various projects. In that regard this has helped a lot, as she is able to go in and view the various things needed. Additionally, as we have grown, we are working on more and more collaborative projects. A major benefit we have realized is the ability to keep everyone "in the loop" without having to send as many e-mails back and forth.
Free Account
What do you like best about the product?
I liked that would could organize different projects and communicate with your team. The to-do lists were helpful and there was a fun little unicorn graphic as an incentive to check off multiple tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the platform felt a little clunky.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project Management and team delegation.
Featured Packed & Outdated
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has many great features and lots of settings. It's easy to login and setup. There are also lots of plants to chose from. Its easy to bring other members into the program and it makes project management and collaboration much easier. Each project can have its own task with multiple tasks within it. It's contained which is nice. It's easy to assign different tasks to anyone within our organization regardless of which team or department they work in.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana has a bit of an outdated appearance and is kind of hard to use. It looks cluttered and disorganized compared to programs like Todoist, etc. There is also no Mac/PC apps and web-based platforms aren't always convenient. It would be much better if there were computer-based apps that don't require a browser window to be open. As mentioned, the appearance of Asana overall could be simplified and modernized. It's not pleasant to look at. While its helpful for some of the team collaboration, it's not a program I would recommend to people who don't work for a large business/personal use or even for small users for blog related uses/personal small businesses. Tag features also don't always work correctly. Some people get notifications all the time, while some only get notifications every once in a while or even not at all. There is still a lot of work to be done.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana allows us to work together as a team better and to bring together many different departments.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If appearance is important to you, this may not be the program for you. If you like features and appearance doesn't matter much, then definitely check this app out.
Asana's great, even the free version
What do you like best about the product?
I love being able to forward emails and have them show up on the relevant board. It's also great to be able to see the task list for each of my employees at any time.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the project to task to subtask stricture a little annoying at times. For example, it would be great to have a task that showed up on one board, but subtasks that were on completely different boards, and all organized clearly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Anyone on the team can see a list of all our projects at once, which helps with prioritization and efficiency.
Asana is a useful tool to track tasks.
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Asana keeps track of daily and monthly tasks that have been assigned to you when you are working as a team. It allows the teammate to mark tasks completed, adjust due dates, upload files and communicate with each other. It serves as a task manager which is very helpful especially when working from home.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like that the phone app version does not provide the same experience as the desktop version. You can't see all the tasks and it is hard to navigate which makes using it a chore.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is great at letting a remote team stay more connected to projects. It is a central location where information about tasks is readily at hand which saves you from having to call or email the team every time there is a change or something new.
