Great Tool for Big Teams
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is super robust and never fails to have a feature or function for anything you need. It's pretty user-friendly with a nice-looking UI. Our team uses it for all of our projects and it has really helped us structure our projects more and ensure dependencies are met and things are finished on time. We've really centered our whole project management process around Asana.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's really robust, which is great for complex projects, especially when they're being run by advanced Asana users. However, Asana takes a little while to get used to with a lot of trial and error. For beginners or users who want to use it for simpler projects, it can be a little confusing and overloaded with too many features and options. It's not necessarily a "jump in and go!" type of tool. But if you take the time to learn it and figure out the nuances, it's very effective.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has become the foundation for all of our projects and helped us streamline our project management process. Before, we had multiple people working in disparate channels, and things were getting lost in the mix. Asana helps us keep all of our project tasks and communications in one central place.
Great Checklist and Template System
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is great at helping you break down your projects into bite-sized tasks that you can assign to a timeline.
What do you dislike about the product?
The emails can be redundant. I think if it can be honed down a bit, it would make the program much more enjoyable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps hold everyone accountable for their projects. We can see each other's progress throughout the assigned dates and learn as we perfect our programs.
Asana platform for project management
What do you like best about the product?
Interface is quite organized and very simple to use. I also like using the ways of collaboration. It really is incredible that its access control allows one to allocate roles from a specific project and even to view each person enrolled in the project. We could also automatically create Gantt diagrams if necessary. We can set various targets for different activities in different departments and monitor the success of my group.
What do you dislike about the product?
I want a schedule to connect to my Google calendar, which allows me to receive reminders on given deadlines at whatever time. I would also like the days for repeating assignments to be easier to select.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This allows the team manager to provide a summary in real time on the progression of the Project Team. also It allows the project allocate within in the time limit set as well as it allows to function more effectively and more reliably.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do not wait to try it. if you are searching for a way to locate everything on your organization activities and assignments in one spot.
Asana is a high quality project management tool that helps our team & clients easily collaborate
What do you like best about the product?
The best features about Asana is the ability to create a thread of status/updates/edits as it pertains to each project, where we can also tag team members and/or upload docs/images needed. Everything can be color-coordinated to help distinguish, and the different views are also helpful based on project type.
What do you dislike about the product?
File/doc storage could use some improvements, the Files tab could have filters by task to help better sort through what we need, as our team heavily shares excel files, creatives, screenshots of performance etc. for each task (which are essentially projects).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're able to collaborate across different project leads easily -- since we're the marketing team, we work with multiple different leads who own various products & projects, so having Asana helps tremendously with workflow on ensuring we have all the info needed for each new task/project that comes up. We're able to get up and running without a lot of back and forth, and also get a bird's eye view of what we're currently working on, what's upcoming, and share the status of launch + in-campaign progress with each team lead in one place.
Great organization and functionality!
What do you like best about the product?
Love that Asana projects can be quite customizable in the looks and placement of tasks. Asana is very user-friendly and the how-to guides are very helpful. Asana sends notifications to your email instantly so you do not miss an assigned task or comment.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish multiple users could be assigned to one task in Asana. Also I would love if there was a dashboard feature where we can customize the exact information we're looking for based on the project status.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving project management organization issues. We have really benefitted from having somewhere to document our workflow process on projects and it is helpful we can have outside vendors linked to our Asana as well.
Keeps me intact and productive while working remotely within a team
What do you like best about the product?
The excellent part of Asana is that it lets me stay organized within a team and within myself. I choose to create a task and either add it to my to-do list or someone else within a group by simply assigning them. The most helpful thing is that it notifies me every time I get a new task assigned by my managers and colleagues directly through my mailbox.
What do you dislike about the product?
To date, I have completely enjoyed using Asana for work management and productivity. So, there is nothing, in particular, to describe the dislikes of this wonderful project and task management tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our entire team is working remotely during this pandemic, and even while working in an office, we used to use this software, and I had learned all its features and usability from my managers. And, now we are facing lockdown situations due to COVID-19, but my daily workflow has remained intact and productive. Thanks to Asana!

Asana for your business
What do you like best about the product?
I liked being able to include myself and others on daily weekly or monthly tasks, allowing anyone to add notes, about completion or progress

It's a learned skill like anything else to type instead of write on a calendar or sticky note. But the efficiency makes it worth the learning curve

Robust Project Management
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is excellent for personal task management, project management, and workload management. It's easy to set up a project overview and then build a timeline in the timeline view. I also use the rules to assign specific tasks to multiple project boards automatically. Integrates with Slack to give you task updates.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the "my tasks" section were more customizable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project planning and management. Ability to plan marketing projects for the quarter and review full timelines. Individual task management
