What do you dislike about the product?
1) It sends too many reminders when you are in a group task. It sends the conversations as well where I am tagged, but the job is not assigned to my name. We need to figure out the setting to change the behavior.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1) Assigning tasks within the team on day to day.
2) Setting up a due date for a project and set a due date for the task to a person, and I, as a manager, do not have to follow up as it automatically reminds the assignee.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a good tool for work management and helps in reducing ETD misses.
I find Asana extremely straightforward and visually pleasing.
What do you like best about the product?
How easy it is to set up workflows and have projects "talk" to each other - it makes cross-team collaboration so much easier and smooth. It also shows the path a task has taken which increases accountability (every person has to do their part to move something along).
The different ways of visualising a project also makes a difference, since people can adapt it to what they prefer to use - gantt-like charts, boards, calendar views, etc.

What do you dislike about the product?
The lack of common/simple rules, fields, and automation. For example, Asana lacks computed fields (the ability to add simple formulas in fields), which is a highly requested feature in the community and a really basic one too - with people tracking finance projects, spending, and all sorts of other projects involving data, computed fields seem pretty necessary.
Exports could also be improved, possibly by giving the option to create custom exports that are then saved and automatically downloaded every so often.
Lastly, the filters in the projects aren't costumazible enough, in my opinion - it'd be great if we were able to add multiple filters with "and" and "or" options and have a better date range filtering.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracking multiple teams and people is so much easier, without having to necessarily send emails (and being able to incorporate those into tasks as well). We can also easily extrapolate data regarding performance and completed tasks for the clients, for transparency.
The bigger benefit for us is the automated workflow though - tasks pass on from person to person, team to team, with simple triggers that determine their status and who is responsible for it.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use the training videos and contact the customer service, as they can show you all you need to know and are super flexible.
With Asana I am able to manage my projects.
What do you like best about the product?
With Asana I can manage my projects. With this software, I have a nice workaround where my team and I can work together in the same digital area to share each other's knowledge and documents.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing at all. Asana has no dislikes for me. Maybe this is because my wishlist is not that big, so Asana can fulfill my wishes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Asana I can work in teams all around the world. With this software, we have all the documents and information in one place where we can work together. This ensures that we can manage our projects more efficiently.
Asana is a robust and fun way for our team to communicate and be effective.
What do you like best about the product?
There is a real care to the interface. It doesn't feel too commercial or cold when using it. It has a scalable structure so different teams and projects can use tasks and subtasks depending on their needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
I love having a dedicated app, but I'm quite disappointed that add-ons like time trackers do not work. I get lost having to use Asana in my web browser when I have a lot of tabs open. I also wish there was a feature to alternate assignees for a repeating task (ie. who's turn to bring pastries to Monday Morning Meeting).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are a creative studio and have projects that include or use up to 15 skill sets. Asana helps us organize projects for the studio as a whole, skill set teams, or by outside groups or clients. It's the one place to go to see where a project stands. Tracking our time also helps in budgeting.
Asana is my everyday go to to keep me and my clients on track!
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is so easy to use and is the best thing I have found to keep me and my clients projects and day to day actions on track
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd love to be able to purchase a licence for one seat rather than the minimum of 2
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is my one stop shop for everything I need to do in my biz [and for my clients]. I am so much more productive when I can log in every morning and see what's required to be completed that day!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would suggest that you seriously consider Asana for your project and task management. I've tried lots of the available systems out there and Asana is the best by far!
Great Project Management and Collaboration Tool for Small to Medium Sized Companies
What do you like best about the product?
The transparency amongst stakeholders across departments is facilitated very well in Asana. Project permissions allow us to share information in real-time with colleagues, without the excessive notifications that accompany chats, emails, meetings, etc. All of the required information is in one location that is easily accessible by all parties involved.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana has a few limitations that don't allow us to optimize the automations and rule workflows that the system supports. As our company grows, it's proving difficult to scale with Asana.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We previously had notification and information overload/fatigue at our company with lack of transparency into the statuses of various workstreams. Asana has allowed us to create centralized locations for key pieces of information and workstreams across departments at our company, thus reducing the need for constant communication across stakeholders.
One of the best project management platforms I've used.
What do you like best about the product?
I like how versatile Asana is. It can be adapted to fit your company's processes and workflows. We use it for project management at our marketing/creative agency. I also enjoy the extra features like appreciations.
What do you dislike about the product?
Most of my dislikes are too nit picky to even mention in a review and I've posted about them in the Asana product feedback forum. I love how attentive Asana is to suggestions and feature requests from users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Asana, we now have a complete view of all of the work being done across our organization. Our team can focus on their individual tasks for projects and collaborate with others working in different areas of the project. We also love how easily Asana integrates with other apps we use. Asana helps us be able to measure results and track profitability much better than we were before implementing Asana.
Asana Review from Katrina B.
What do you like best about the product?
I like being able to update projects and communicate with my team in real-time. I like that I can integrate it with tools I already use such as Google Drive and Zoom.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike not being able to use certain templates and conditional logic features on the lower service levels. Access would be beneficial to those without a large team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Asana to stay on top of client tasks/projects, communicate with my team and clients, and create a schedule for my routine business tasks (client follow-ups, tax payments, training, etc.).
Asana is the best thing to happen to my workflow!
What do you like best about the product?
I use Asana for managing multiple teams within our startup. Being able to reference tasks from different departments quickly, manage my own to-do list, assign tasks to team members and keep projects on schedule are tremendous benefits.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that I can't add custom colors to custom fields (or anywhere.) Asana has so many customizable options not having the ability to add colors is odd, and I feel it would add to the enjoyment of the platform!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am mainly managing our marketing department as well as organizing new hire onboarding and technical product manaement. The benefits are having all of the information I need to access on a daily basis organized and in one place for my team to access.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You get what you pay for: if you are looking for a highly customizable and easy-to-use project management interface, you will achieve that with Asana.
Great Platform for many applications
What do you like best about the product?
I like how many ways my company can utilize Asana. We use it across all departments for various reasons, but at the end of the day, the platform can communicate very well even though we use it for many different reasons.
What do you dislike about the product?
The one thing I do not like about Asana is the excess of notifications it sends out. My inbox is always full of Asana notifications, BUT I know this is fixable as I can adjust all these things in settings.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main problem Asana has solved is by allowing me to create boards where my customers can see where their products are in their lifecycle. It is remarkable that my clients and I can communicate on our Asana boards instead of email where things get lost.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is an excellent platform if you are looking for a way to organize your data/projects/content / etc.
