Saviour for my messy worklife
What do you like best about the product?
Best way to arrange my tasks, whether personal or professional. The UI is wonderful and easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
No con for the software, but due to my company policy, I have to login after every 18 hours which is a bit irritating.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Time management, project management, sharing updates with other team members.
Asana helped me and my clients save time and resources effectively
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I can manage every type of business in Asana whether it's a small eCommerce store or a large creative agency.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish I could add more complex process flows to Asana without using external plugins and automation apps. Sometimes it gets complicated to learn more apps.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm helping companies of all sizes manage their daily operations and teams in Asana. I helped them save on time and budgets and they are all happy with the outcomes.
Super organized with every feature you could ask for
What do you like best about the product?
I love all of the features. Most platforms only have a handful of what I'm looking for so I have to settle for what I think is most important but this has every single one I could ask for
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like how much time we have to take to set it up. I would love if there was more templates to choose from to start. I also don't like their customer service. Very difficult.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Problems that are being solved are organizing and holding our teams accountable. There's so much visibility into who it doing what, how and when. We didn't have that prior and as a project manager, that's exactly what I need.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do your research into setting it up. It's so custom which is really nice but it's a lot of pressure to sit there and figure out exactly how to do it and what features to use
Simple yet effective task management platform.
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite parts of utilizing Asana are the community, the ease of use, and their knowledge base. The community is quite active and can often problem solve or explain alternative methods for the vast majority of issues. Asana is a simple task management platform, that lacks the customizability of some of its more sophisticated counter-parts, but is easy to deploy and train on.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana is missing some common sense functionality that would enable power users to get more out of the platform. Specifically, things like conditional logic for rules or the ability to more actively integrate the platform with outside software (the Asana API seems to struggle when dealing with massive workspace [1+ million tasks, 10,000+ projects]) and so that's another option that would be good for improvement.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has reduced the amount of meetings that we need to have and it has simplified my ability to produce project updates, meeting summaries, and weekly reviews. My favorite feature here is posting portfolio updates to make concise text around what is being done for specific groups of projets.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you'd like an ease to use and quickly implemented task management software platform, use Asana.
Used Asana for 4 years
What do you like best about the product?
1) Assigning tasks within the teams & departments
2) Task reminders
3) The feature where you receive a notification email from Asana on a task, and when you reply, it goes back and updates the task in Asana

3) The feature where you receive a notification email from Asana on a task, and when you reply, it goes back and updates the task in Asana
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.
