It's complicated, in a good way.
What do you like best about the product?
There is a lot of detail involved into creating a workflow that provides the company with controlled project management. It allows you to set up multiple projects, simultaneously, and within each project splinter into separate tasks that have jobs for individuals to complete.
What do you dislike about the product?
It has the function to create a calendar, but it doesn't allow you to shrink the size of the projects so you can see over 5 timelines together. The interface is quite bad for that function.
Also, I was using it to create many similar projects, but the template function and the copy/paste function is bad. It made it tedious to create a new copy of the same timeline with the same goals/tasks.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Made it easier for the company to understand how each project should be prioritised and what elements need completing by when. We have a lot of projects going simultaneously, so it is difficult to know where to project our prioritise, but this allowed us to work it out and understand our focus.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I haven't used any other project management software other than Trello, so it's hard to compare as it entirely depends on what you need it for. We needed it primarily for the timelines and I feel there are probably better and easier software available out there. I do regret getting it somewhat, as there might be a simiplar solution, but for the price, it is good. Plus, if you are looking for mainly to use it to give tasks, it is very good in that department.
Asana Review
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the ability to get assigned tasks by other people and have a deadline be assigned for when an assignment is due. This is very beneficial for multiple tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was an option in being able to collaborate with people for tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Currently I am being assigned Salesforces trailheads as an intern. It is nice to have the due dates feature like I mentioned before.

Helps Manage Task Okay

I like that everything is in one place in Asana. it’s easy to organize things and assign tasks to different people.

I don’t like that as soon as you complete a sub take it goes away. It’s frustrating because U can’t remember what I’ve completed.

A very graphical task and project manager
What do you like best about the product?
I like the overall look and feel of the user interface. I like that it’s easy for the group to see what needs to get done and what the priorities should be.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I feel that I would just prefer a spreadsheet-style tool to manage tasks and that Asana is just too GUI heavy for my needs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using Asana helped me keep my tasks organized and not miss any items.
Quite helpful, but yet another platform
What do you like best about the product?
I like how the asana interface has changed over the years and has included upgrades to the glorified checklist. The main page is organized by task and users can assign people and due dates to each task. One simple glance at the page can tell you which projects and tasks you are assigned to. This benefit helps managers delegate and then in turn balance accountability. I also enjoy the calendar on Asana. It makes scheduling easier when groups can track events and meetings with clients.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana is another platform you have to teach your team. If you have people on your team who are opposed to learning new platforms or slow adapters, it will add another layer to getting the whole team to take advantage of the platform. Although Asana has benefits, I don't think Asana is offering anything especially unique. To access more features, teams have to purchase the premium plan, thus dissuading teams with smaller or no budgets from using Asana's full potential. This barrier might drive some teams to move onto other free platforms.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have solved the problem of making and sending checklists over email. With Asana, every member can be connected to the checklist and be updated in real time. We used to use emails for weekly checklists and then do a check-in at the end of the week with another email. Asana eliminated those check-ins and reduced one more meeting with a simple click.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend thinking hard about which platform you want to use to manage your projects and team assignments. You get one shot at buy-in and choosing the wrong platform will diminish your team's patience for task management software. Asana was OK, but the fees for the premium versions were unattractive and the free version did not offer enough options to make the cut. The premium fees are high for what you get.
Great for visualizing tasks!
What do you like best about the product?
I liked how you're able to see what tasks you've completed, tasks in progress, and the due dates for those tasks. It's also very easy to communicate with other people.
What do you dislike about the product?
At first, it can be very confusing.. and sometimes, if you're not tagged or your notifications aren't up, you won't be able to see it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We would also work with clients/small business owners on Asana, and sometimes it would be difficult if they weren't digital savvy.

The board setup for the whole team to use

Working together as a team
So. Many. Options.

Asana offers tons of options for teams of all sizes, including customized views, notifications, and templates.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be very overwhelming for those unfamiliar with the platform, especially when the default setting is that you are notified by email whenever ANYONE makes a move, edit, or breathes in relation to your project.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana works well for teams that function on different platforms and workspaces (e.g. PC, Mac, gmail, non-gmail, etc)
