Great tool for manual business processes
What do you like best about the product?
Clear, easy to use and understand with simple user interface
What do you dislike about the product?
If you're able to automate your business processes with APIs, then you don't need Asana. But if you do, there's not a lot to dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Manual business process flows
Different environments (online and app) that confused me
What do you like best about the product?
You can track your tasks and it is very useful when collaborating with other co-workers, asking for a specific task or tracking my own
What do you dislike about the product?
Not everybody in the organization knows how to use it and the tracking is different when using the online version or the app. It would be an amazing tool if it would be easier to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracking tasks in my work with my coworkers, my team and my own ones. If used correctly, it would be an even better and useful tool
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go for a basic training to take full advantage of this tool
Corporate Communications Specialist
What do you like best about the product?
Very convenient project management platform. It is easy to use, plan workflow and projects, organize your team and follow any updates. It has useful features like subtasks, boards view and calendar view.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is no option to hide team members from the sidebar and templates are very basic.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I do use it to view the overall progress per project or team. I also use boards a lot, so I can post social media graphics and get approval from upper management.
Versatile and User Friendly
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a great project management software that helps manage multiple tasks with users within your organization
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a learning curve but once not too bad

I am keeping track of all my projects and assigning duties to my colleagues. It helps us all work together.
Strategy Director
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to create sub-tasks with notes, owners and due dates create a clear structure and action timeline. Comments on every level are great for cutting down the need to chase down follow ups and status reports for straightforward situations that can easily be captured in a note. We also use it to include links to google docs, etc. which is brilliantly helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
When creating new tasks and organizing them - the structure can sometime feel counterintuitive or loose, leading to extra steps, dragging new items around. It can also be easy to drop thing is the incorrect place. Seems like this could be simplified or structured differently. Certain viewing options can feel messy / overwhelming, especially to team members newer to the platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving Project and Workstream management, with an overall view to team collaboration/cohesion and efficiency. Asana has helped us facilitate our regular team touchpoint and communication/documentation of priorities. Further adoption is desired and we are exploring how to get the best out of the tool.

-Easy to communicate questions and completion of assignments
What do you dislike about the product?
-Difficult to sort tasks, no drag and drop feature

-Color coding would be helpful
-Can't prioritize certain tasks over others
-Color coding would be helpful
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In the past, most of our communication would be done through email and deadlines would get lost. Asana has kept us organized, especially since our team is small and mostly remote.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend this with smaller teams; larger teams may need something more advanced.
Asana for project management, collaboration with teams, but could be cleaner
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is great for organizing all your thoughts on a project or a process, with an easy way to comment and check off "to do"s. I like the feature of duplicating a board as well
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the interface looks nice, and is easy to use - but some features might be a bit overkill, and makes it's usability a little complicated. I'd like to see certain templates polished and cleaner as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Great for outlining weekly project updates for a team meeting. We are now using this process instead of white boarding which saves us time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider other options, and demo with them all. See what will work best for your teams!
One-sided tool but still valuable
What do you like best about the product?
So useful for keeping track of projects, especially with multi-person projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not a very diverse social tool. For some roles I've heard great reviews but as a social media specialist it isn't very valuable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our team has many projects that involve different groups of people for each one and it allows us to keep people in the loop that need to be. It also is so beneficial to be able to assign people due dates for subtasks and then see the flow of subtasks leading to the larger one.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you know what you're going to need out of it and that you can't accomplish it with another tool you already have. It is a good tool but might not always be necessary.
Asana in event coordination

What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't encountered any downsides to using Asana yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeps our event tasks organized, easy to know exactly who is doing what in the office
