Asana is one of the best project management tools I've ever used, but...
What do you like best about the product?
I love three things about Asana:
1. Intuitive and user-friendly: before using Asana at my current company, I had never heard of it. By clicking around, I was able to figure it out in 3 days.
2. Easy to cross-collaborate across a company: Whether it's assigning others tasks, putting in due dates, or working on a company-wide initiative, Asana makes it really, really easy to work on large scale projects across mutliple players in a company.
3. Multiple views: I can view my tasks as a list, as a board, or on a timeline. Asana is customizable-which makes it great for almost anyone

What do you dislike about the product?
Here's the BUT:
When there are many collaborators, using multiple Asana boards, and combining it with my own task list, it's easy to get lost within the tool. I've had many, many occassions where a project deadline gets lost, or communication was hard to follow.
Additionally, sometimes there are too many clicks required to get in or out of a task. I often find myself two layers into a task, and there is not an intutitive way to get one level up without closing the entire task and then having to click back into the layer you were looking for.

Good task management tool, but it can get out of control.
What do you like best about the product?
Drag and drop capabilities. (Kanban style boards). Integrations to many other third-party tools allow for bi-directional communication. Ability to create workflows to automatically takes actions on tasks. Ability to create templates and use them to quickly spin up new projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
From a UI perspective, there is a lot going on and it can be somewhat overwhelming, especially for a new user. Occasionally experience outages. Not a lot of outages, but certainly more than I've experienced with other SaaS tools. Not really an Asana issue, but if you aren't thoughtful in what you're going to use the tool for, it can get quickly out of control. I.e., if you create a lot of projects, you could spend hours every day just keeping up with changes and notifications.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Asana to manage our larger projects. For this purpose, it's very useful. We also use Asana as an individual task manager. (allowing any colleague to add tasks to our to-do board). It's this last use case that causes Asana to become overwhelming. (in my opinion)
Versatile Project Management at Your Fingertips
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is at its best with its flexible and fluent interface. Being web-based ensures it is available 24/7 and updates live for all team members. The platform seems simple when you first use it, but it can be quite powerful once you learn its ins-and-outs.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not a problem with the product itself, but a struggle we have at our organization is it is difficult to get people to use it. If not everyone is using it, it becomes challenging to see the full benefits of Asana. Everyone needs to buy in to get the most out of Asana.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Obviously, we track our strategic goals and projects with Asana. It's great to be able to assign action items and see the items get crossed off the list as we go. Being able to comment on tasks and collaborate has been of great value.
The notification system is key to keeping our staff on-track. It reminds them of upcoming or overdue tasks to complete. Threaded conversations in each task present a great opportunity to collaborate and keep leaders up to date on the latest progress.
Additionally, we use Asana for our meeting agendas. This ensures we all have access to the latest agenda and can remember items that come out of previous meetings and can complete any follow-up items.

Using Asana has simplified my days!
What do you like best about the product?
I love that you can easily add tasks and dates, add collaborators, use the phone or desktop app, and that you can copy project templates to reuse.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish some tasks could be based on times (every 3 days, every Monday, every 4 months, etc)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's so easy to categorize everything in my to-do list and free up space in my brain. I love the reminders and the ability to message with my team.
Great for multi projects or team work
What do you like best about the product?
If great if you work with multiple projects or duties at the same time, or if you work with a team. It keeps everything organized, in time, and perfectly distributed
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes you can forget to asign a person or the time and asana soes not tell you, you have to be carefull about it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used to work with a large team so everybody know what to do, who is next, their due dates, etc. Also, I work with multiple projects at the same time so, it so easy for me to have everything in control with asana.

Asana
What do you like best about the product?
It was easy to keep my tasks organized and clear within Asana. I feel like this is great for independent contributors and small teams. As teams grow larger, there are better tools available for this type of functionality.
What do you dislike about the product?
As our team began to grow, things felt like the got lost in Asana. It seemed harder to find what you were looking for and there wasn't much ability to collaborate in some of the ways that I now see are more effective/productive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using as an independent contributor, to keep track of my own tasks within various projects has been very beneficial to me. It's easy to see what exactly is accountable to me and keep it organized based on project/priority, etc.
