Good project management software
What do you like best about the product?
Pretty easy to learn and use. I like that I can assign task to team members with due date along with notes to the team. I also like that you can create multiple projects and only assign the people to them that are involved with that project.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sections are great for splitting up different stages of a project, but once you complete the tasks, you can't clear the section without deleting what tasks were associated with it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
great for working with clients - we're able to have a central spot for project management.
Asana transformed the effectiveness of our team's meetings
What do you like best about the product?
We love being able to track our program's long-term vision and goals, while also tracking our effectiveness through short-term tasks and projects. We made a rule that all communication within our department should take place within Asana and Outlook should only be used for contacting external stakeholders. By implementing these processes, we are able to find and engage with all department conversations more effectively. Much of what would take up our time during meetings can be quickly decided using the comments and updates features of tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
One of the most helpful features in the "Business" pricing level of is "Portfolio" where a director or supervisor could gauge the health of all projects in one place. We only pay for "Premium" and can't justify more than doubling our cost for that one feature. Better integration of Microsoft Outlook calendars would be a wonderful value add. It would be awesome if the calendar views of Asana would sync with our Outlook calendars.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As mentioned, Asana has transformed our meetings. In the past, we would write down meeting items, fail to create action items, and would inevitably talk about the same ideas and needs week after week after week without any real progress. Asana is the tool we needed to track meeting agendas, have effective conversations, then track actionable items between meetings. We've even experienced weeks where we cancel meetings because all agenda items have been solved within the conversations taking place in Asana. We are beginning to track projects from start to finish and this has helped us ensure that all actionable items fit within the vision of the projects. Asana has focused and connected our team in the age of remote work.
"The most practical and modern way of working together"
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is an excellent online tool that connects the entire work team in real time, allowing communication, organization and planning to successfully complete the projects in question. Asana is very simple and easy to use, each project has a roadmap. Each task can have subtasks, as well as an assignee, due date, attachments, comments, and tags. These tasks and subtasks are used to track work. (Completely beneficial)
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana is incredible and is the right tool to establish organized team work flows, in order to meet the proposed goals and reach the desired objectives.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its operation is really simple, this being one of the keys to success. You don't need previous training to start enjoying the advantages that this tool offers. Its interface is very intuitive and works perfectly for efficient management.
Great tool for managing tasks across teams
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to see a calendared view of team tasks
What do you dislike about the product?
The only issues I've had so far is that finding where/how to make tasks recurring is not immediately obvious. Once the option is found, setting a task to recurring after it has already been completed does nothing. A user has to mark the task not complete and then mark it complete again. This causes issues with reviewing, but is a one-time issue per task.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is helping the team manage a process with a lot of time-sensitive tasks and helping managers stay on top of issues.
The best project management and collaboration software there is.
What do you like best about the product?
Literally, all of it. I've been using Asana for 5 years and I'm a certified pro, so...really, everything. I'd say transparency is the key term I use when testifying.
What do you dislike about the product?
Difficult to realize all of the many features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Transparency again, setting deadlines and having a central place to review the status of work, agreed upon deadlines and docs, without bugging someone.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Think of how you'd ideally like to manage project; Asana can probably do it.
Great visualisation tool
What do you like best about the product?
Fluidity of timelines & dependency tracking, it allows us to see in real time how things are planning out
It also allows us to see the cause and effect of moving work based on priority

What do you dislike about the product?
Setting the security on each project is more complicated than it should be.
At the start we made project locked down but didn't realise that they weren't!
Also adding people to tasks gives them visibility over the whole project, sometimes that's not required

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using it across departments for visibility and project tracking
The best task and project management tool on the market!
What do you like best about the product?
It's versatile, easy to use, aesthetically pleasing, it allows you to create, organize and manage multiple projects at once and easily see how you are progressing with each. I love that you basically have an automated to-do list every day and you just need to think about execution.
What do you dislike about the product?
The mobile app is not as easy to use and complete, it can be improved, especially the interface.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I manage my online coaching business, my personal projects and I assist my clients on their projects. With Asana you can have a lot on your plate and feel calm and in control because everything is so clean and clear.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The set up might be intimidating but it's well worth the time and effort.
Use it for all your projects without worrying about the nature of the projects, it works for any kind of work.
Use the list view for more strategic projects and the board view for more creating projects.

Great collaboration tool for Marketing teams
What do you like best about the product?
Simple to use, yet packed full of powerful features, I've been an Asana user for years. I've tried a lot of tool for project and task management and it's the only one I've consistently come back to. The design and layout is carefully thought through and intuitive and most of all it's fast. While other tools promise endless features they end up getting in the way, with too many clicks required to do simple things like reorganise or complete tasks. Not Asana. It's perfect for team work and project management. I've used it heavily for planning and executing marketing campaigns with teams of creatives and marketing co-ordinators.
What do you dislike about the product?
About 2 years ago Asana went on a mission to roll out a LOT of new features. While overall I think they did this well, there's still the danger that as they add more "stuff" it will lose its focus as a project management tool and will become cumbersome to use. It still requires a bit of training for people not used to working with PM tools and you have to keep on top of how people use it, or they'll fill it with junk, but that's true of all PM tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing remote, distributed teams, with both internal and external stakeholders is a breeze in Asana. Standard processes like the steps needed to create and roll out a marketing campaign across 12 countries are simple with Templates. We even used it to track and approve invoices. It's super flexible.
Using Asana every day - Just love it
What do you like best about the product?
How easy it is to use and the mobile app is really convenient
More features being implemented regularly

What do you dislike about the product?
Exporting tasks into spreadsheet feature should be improved a bit further
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps a lot with project management or even all day to day tasks. Having them in Asana helps to ensure nothing is being missed. Communication with team members on a specific topic is organized in Asana under the relevant tasks, with project updates, etc
I also like the recent feature of marking notes with thumbs up this helps also when many comments are in a task and you are going through them to ensure nothing is being missed. For this the thumbs up feature helps a lot.
Benefits for the team: More organized way of working
Board feature is great as well and that finally can switch between list and board view
It also allows me to create new project templates that the whole team can use and update.
I love that tasks can be tagged under various projects as this helps especially when coordinating projects that you can tag the most important tasks to be monitored in a separate project that not everybody has access to.
Nice is also the comment only feature that can be set and the custom fields are really helpful too.
Asana constantly works on further improving their tool, they also listen to what features users would love to have. Literally every week there are news about new things being implemented :)
I can really recommend Asana for everybody, whether you are an individual that just needs to organize some things like shopping list or other kinds of to-do-lists or small and also big teams.
I am using Asana every day on my desktop and phone.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Start by going through the Asana guide as it has a lot of tips and tricks. And then get started directly by creating your first team, project and task. With time you will find out all the features that Asana has to offer and normally it is very fast to get used to everything :)
