Senior Project Manager
What do you like best about the product?
Creates 1 place to store all project info, tasks, schedule, messages, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
The scheduling/timeline capabilities are awful. I work in advertising. If you have a campaign/project that spans months, it's a nightmare to move tasks around. Everything has to be updated manually, tasks are assigned by day instead of by length of duration and dependencies. This is a huge waste of time when you consider how companies like Smartsheets allow you to make a schedule/timeline throughout the duration of the entire project as dates change. Additionally the Inbox, should have more capabilities for organization. Allow messages to be unread, read or archived makes it hard to organize messages in your inbox.

What do you dislike about the product?
Not being able to lock down who can edit task templates, causes people to be able to adjust something without fully knowing the implications.
Inability to apply a task template to an existing project
Inability to apply a task template to an existing project
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is solving the fact that so much time is spent on discussing work instead of actually completing work. The centralized place for information has been a game changer for keeping the team on the same page with updates and outstanding questions.
More helpful than imagined!

I love how intuitive the software is. It's like Asana knows what I need and gives me the option to do it!
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the mobile app layout was more like the desktop and web apps.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana makes reminding my colleagues about deadlines less awkward! Ultimately making things less late and communication more open.
Asana review - would recommend!
What do you like best about the product?
I love the easy personalization of your own Boards. Linking tasks to different boards and projects. Asana is intuitive which makes onboarding in Asana easy and quick.
What do you dislike about the product?
The time tracking in asana is insufficient. It is not possible to simply add time, every time you want to track an hour you have to rewrite the whole time. Employees don´t use the time tracking tool because of this which makes it overall complicated to to proper project controlling.
Also it is very annoying that for one task you cannot add time for different people to one task.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana makes it possible to communicate well in tasks themselves and those communications are not lost so even after months you can revisit a done task to then reevaluate the comments in those tasks and the added documents or links. Those are not lost like they are in slack sometimes so it helps to save the notes on tasks.
Super user friendly and feature loaded
What do you like best about the product?
The best part about asana is the ease of handling, it has all the necessary information on the dashboard itself.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only con about asana is the bugs and glitches around the corner once in a while. It does not affect the productivity but sometimes you need to wait for 2 minutes and refresh again.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main problem we as a company had was to assign the tasks to freelancers working with us from remote locations.
Asana sends mail as soon as you assign a task not limiting the notification to software but also notification for mails.

It's a good user experience, very intuitive, easy to use, the best part of asana is the list view
What do you like best about the product?
List View and the notification are very helpful to me
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing quite expensive for teams, for 15 persons require more than 1000usd
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracking management
Asana is a great program to use for any size buisness
What do you like best about the product?
We like that you are able to have different teams but then also limit that projects within that team with certain members. We like the ability to create rules and have various different types of projects (accounting projects, marketing, inventory)
What do you dislike about the product?
The way rules can be made is limiting and how they transfer from project to project. It would be great if the info from one project didn't transfer to another project once the line was copied, moved, etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is elimanting our need for multiple emails, is solving communication problems by having a clear outline of where you are in a project and is making that information public to everyone that needs to be involved.
Easy to use, quick to learn
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a great project management tool. It's easy to use and learning its features is a quick process. The platform's flexibility means it's also easy to change how you manage projects if you decide your current methods aren't quite working.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the premium features aren't available for a long enough free trial period to determine how well they might work in my current workflow. Premium pricing isn't quite in my small business budget at the moment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has helped me better manage deadlines for project tasks. I have added the My Tasks calendar to my work calendar to ensure I see all upcoming deadlines in one quick look.
